Robert:  Gambling?  Where?
Anita:  Las Vegas.  I find gambling relaxing.  I don't take it seriously, the way some people do.  Besides, I love the shows and the all-night atmosphere of the town.  The casinos1 never close, you know.
Robert:   (Laughing) If you gamble all night, you'll run out of money in a few days.
(The director of the laboratory walks in.)
Anita:  Good afternoon, Dr. Green.  I just finished showing Robert the ropes around here.

Green:  Enjoy yourself.  We'll see you when you get back.
