Lola was sitting at her desk in the betting shop when Linda walked in and put her coat on a chair, "Jesus. Linda you got lost?"
"I said to Arthur while I'm stuck in this fucking place I want something to keep my mind busy." Linda said
Lola chuckled and said, "What? You're going to take bets?"
"I have always been able to do addition and subtraction without pen and paper. But I'll need a telephone. Apparently we have special clients who take bets by telephone." Linda said
Polly and Lizzie walked out of Polly's office and Polly asked, "Linda? This is a betting shop."
Linda turned around, "Look. Arthur said yes. Tommy said yes."
"But did God say yes? Gambling is a sin, Linda" Polly said
Linda nodded and said, "It's not me that's doing the gambling. I'm just taking the bets."
Finn then walked in saying, "The rule is that door should always remain locked until 9:00 A. M."
He then walked towards Arthur's office, "Right. Boy. Boy, where are you going?" Polly called after him
Finn turned around and said, "Well, Arthur's not coming in today. He's taking the day off. So..."
"So what?" Lola asked
"So today, Tommy said that I'm in charge." Finn said
Polly looked at Lola who shrugged, Linda turned around in her chair as Polly said, "Sorry, you're in charge?"
Finn nodded, "Yeah. That's what he said."
Polly took her phone from the office and put it on Linda's desk All right, sweetheart. Ladies? Let's give our boss a first day that he'll never forget."
Finn then walked past Lola's desk, "Be very afraid Finn."

Lola walked into the house where Isiah was sitting on the sofa, "You not doing anything today?"
Isiah looked up at her, "I can do something. But no I have the day off."
"Tommy sent Finn to run the shop. They've already found out he's a virgin and they're arranging a girl for him, this afternoon." Lola said
