Involvement

Act Three

Hakeem and his friends  Laila and  Embry argue near the entrance of Sharess' Caress. Hakeem is having his birthday, and Embry and Laila, wishing to make him a surprise, arranged for him a visit to the pleasure house.

However, the birthday dwarf is not pleased with his friends' idea, worries that his family might find out of this disgrace, and tries all means to avoid visiting Sharess' Caress.

• Laila

  The Librarian does this thing with her whip where you're on all fours, and -

• Hakeem

  Lalalalalala! I can't hear you!

• Laila

  Don't be such a prude.

• Embry

  The birthday boy is just nervous, but don't worry - everyone at Sharess' Caress is a professional.
