Gentlemen, this is the Bandit Queen,
Gambling den, Cash cow,
:24:13
Sodom of the Mississippi Delta
and the focus of our little exercise,
:24:17
Here is Orchard Street,
:24:19
Here is the residence of Marva Munson,
:24:21
the charming lady whom you all met
moments ago,
:24:24
Gentlemen, l'm sure you're all aware
:24:26
that the Solons of the state of
Mississippi, to wit, its legislature,
:24:29
have decreed that no gaming
establishment shall be erected
:24:32
within its borders upon dry land,
:24:34
They may, however, legally float,
:24:38
While the gambling activity is restricted
to these riverboats, no such restrictions
:24:42
apply to the functions ancillary
to this cash-besotted business,
:24:45
The casino's offices, locker rooms,
:24:48
facilities to cook and clean, and,
most importantly, its counting houses,
:24:51
the reinforced, secret,
super-secure repositories of the lucre,
:24:57
may all be situated,,, wherever,
:25:01
- Gawain, where is ''wherever''?
- Say what?
:25:07
- Where's the money?
- Oh,
:25:10
OK, look,
At the end of every shift,
:25:13
pit boss brings the cash down to
the hold of the ship in a locked cashbox,
:25:17
and once a day all the cash is moved
down to the countin' room,
:25:23
And where is the counting room?
:25:25
Uh,,, it be right there in that square
where you pointin',
:25:30
And what,
to flog a horse that if not dead
:25:34
is at this point in mortal danger of expiring,
does this little square represent?
:25:40
Offices, Underground,
:25:43
Ha!
Underground! Mmm!
:25:47
Underground,
:25:50
During the casino's hours of operation,
:25:52
the door to this counting room
is fiercely guarded,
:25:55
The door itself is of redoubtable
Pittsburgh steel,
:25:57
When the casino closes this entire
underground complex is locked up,
