The raspy siren call draws him back to the casino floor where he proceeds to work through his winnings. He wins a handful of coins but as he retires for the night he hears the machine whisper his name… in an incredibly creepy voice. Of course that’s before he gets coerced into giving a pull to one very insistent slot machine.
“It’s a miserable waste of time,” he tells her. Franklin (Everett Sloane) has no interest, but his wife Flora (Vivi Janiss) thinks it will be fun so he reluctantly goes along with it.
