line the walls with production values out of Eighties softcore porn, soundtracks competing with arcade noises from another room. The guy at the bar has his hand on her arm and his hopes between her thighs. He leans in, says something cheek-to-cheek.

Watching this, I hope he’ll have the sense to shrug it off when he returns to find the flaw in his evening’s plans.
