A Scene from “Rain Forest Jim.”
Dave has met several working girls at Georgia’s Elite, a brothel in Mound House, Nevada. He’s friendly with all of them and vice versa. He’s in love with Celeste, who’s been missing for a month, and in lust with April, who is moving to Oregon.
Madam Georgia has sent Dave to take a mustang (a horse she adopted for April) to April’s room at the Atlantis, where she is contemplating her options. Of course, he cannae take the horse to the room. It’s in a horse trailer. The horse is in the horse trailer, the room is not. Ingles es una lengua muy confudido parami. Dave is a driver for Madam Georgia . This is years before she hired Smillew, aka, miles chauffer.
After playing phone tag, Dave has caught up with April while she is buying a classic ’67 Mustang at a Reno dealership.
