The girls are naked, in suggestive poses, and they are smiling at Ray. Suddenly, Ray barks like a rabid dog, whirls around and charges the table with wide, glassy eyes. The referee, a tall skinny man, bends over the table like a question mark. He fidgets with the competitors' hands until they are satisfactorily locked in place.
