FEELEY.
WITHOUT ME AND ENOCH, YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER 2-BIT SIDESHOW.
HE'S THE ONLY THING YOU GOT THAT'S DIFFERENT.
ENOCH IS SPECIAL.
ENOCH IS DYING.
DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD BRIBE THE COMPANY DOCTOR TO KEEP IT FROM ME? WELL, APPARENTLY YOUR FREAK ISN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH 2 FACES, IS HE? NO, SICKLES, YOUR MEAL TICKET'S GODFORSAKEN LIFE IS WINDING TOWARD A MERCIFUL END, SO PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HOW MUCH I NEED YOU!

SICKLES? UNDERSTAND, MR.
SICKLES? Sickles: YOU'VE BEEN A VERY NAUGHTY BOY, ENOCH.
YOU HEAR ME? NAUGHTY BOY! NAUGHTY! ENOCH'S SPECIAL.
I SEE YOU PREFER A LOWER BERTH.
WHO ARE YOU? HOW'D YOU GET IN HERE? THE DOOR, MR.
SICKLES.
CALL ME UNCONVENTIONAL.
HOW ABOUT I CALL A POLICEMAN? OH, I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO DO THAT.
OH, NO? WHY NOT? BECAUSE, MR.
SICKLES, I'M YOUR SALVATION.
THAT'S WHY.
DR.
ZACHARY KLING, AT YOUR SERVICE.
PLEASE.
PLEASE.
DON'T LET ME INTERRUPT YOUR SUPPER.
"AT YOUR SERVICE," YOU SAY.
WHAT KIND OF SERVICE MAY THAT BE? WELL, LET'S NOT BE COY, MR.
SICKLES.
I OVERHEARD YOUR, SHALL WE SAY, ALTERCATION WITH THE OWNER.
IT SEEMS YOUR DAYS HERE MAY BE NUMBERED.
DO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.
WELL, WHAT OF IT? WELL, IT JUST SO HAPPENS, I HAVE RECENTLY MADE AN ACQUISITION AN ACQUISITION FROM WHICH WE BOTH MIGHT BENEFIT, IF YOU TAKE MY MEANING.
IF YOU TAKE MY MEANING.
WHAT KIND OF AN ACQUISITION? HA HA HA! ARE YOU A CARD PLAYER, MR.
SICKLES? NOW AND AGAIN.
MYSELF, I MUST CONFESS TO A CERTAIN, SHALL WE SAY, ZEALOUSY FOR GAMES OF CHANCE.
Dr.
Kling: I WAS PLAYING A GENTLEMEN IN ST.
LOUIS RECENTLY- AS IT HAPPENS, A GENTLEMEN OF DISTINCTION ON 2 COUNTS- ONE, HE WAS AN ARCHEOLOGIST BY TRADE.
AND SECONDLY, HE COULDN'T PLAY POKER FOR SHIT.
WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THIS GENTLEMEN WAS GOING TO OWE ME QUITE A LARGE SUM OF MONEY, NOT STRICTLY IN HIS POSSESSION, IT BECAME EMINENTLY CLEAR THAT SOMETHING OF EQUAL WORTH WOULD HAVE TO BE BARTERED AS COLLATERAL.
WOULD HAVE TO BE BARTERED AS COLLATERAL.
HER NAME IS MIRANA, MR.
SICKLES- THOUGH I PREFER MYRNA, DON'T YOU? AN EGYPTIAN SLAVE GIRL, IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME, BURIED ALIVE AT 16 FOR REPELLING THE PHARAOH'S ADVANCES.
RATHER A HIGH PRICE FOR PLAYING HARD TO GET, WOULDN'T YOU SAY? NEVER ABLE TO LOVE.
NEVER ABLE TO BEAR CHILDREN.
NEVER ABLE TO HAVE A NORMAL LIFE.
IT'S SAD, REALLY.
SHE'S YOURS FOR A 60-40 SPLIT.
DO WE HAVE A DEAL OR NOT? WHAT'S THE CATCH? I'M AFRAID I DON'T FOLLOW YOU.
THIS IS A BUSINESS OF PLAYING PEOPLE FOR SUCKERS.
DON'T PLAY ME FOR ONE.
WHAT DO YOU NEED ME FOR? WHY DON'T YOU GO STRAIGHT TO FEELEY? MR.
SICKLES, AS I SAID, I'M A GAMBLING MAN.
I PLAY TO WIN, AND WINNERS TEND TO MAKE ENEMIES, IF YOU TAKE MY MEANING.
IN ALL CANDOR, I NEED TO KEEP A LOW PROFILE FOR A WHILE.
THE LESS OFFICIAL MY CONNECTION WITH THE SIDESHOW, THE BETTER.
WHAT ABOUT THE JEWELS? OH, COMPLETELY WORTHLESS, MR.
SICKLES.
A MERE PROP.
A MERE PROP.
LOOK.
CONSIDER YOURSELF MY AGENT, IF YOU LIKE.
