Exit Fate: Meiko's Interviews

Johnny

Meiko: Today I'm meeting with Johnny, professional gambler. Tell me, how did you get into the gambling business?

Johnny : It's not a pretty story. When I was a young man, I liked to live large and party a lot. Gambling was the only way to make enough money for kids like me.

Meiko: By the looks of it, you were pretty successful.

Johnny : For every guy who wins big, there's someone else who lost big. If you don't get good at it fast, you'll run yourself into debts you can't pay off. But later, once I was making a decent living, I started doing it more for the thrill than the cash.

Meiko: Have you ever had to cheat to survive?

Johnny : I did some stupid things when I was younger, but nowadays I'm all straight. Let me tell you, in this business, you get caught once and it's all over. There are swindlers who can pull it off, but it's not worth it. You lose a bet, you can try again. You're caught cheating, no one will play you again, if you don't find a noose around your neck first. But enough about me, let's talk about you. You must meet a lot of interesting people.

Meiko: This interview is not about me, If you have any questions, save it for later

Johnny : All right, maybe we can get to know each other a little better in a more private setting, then. Are you doing anything tonight?
