[The background noise comes through first - a minor roar, a cacophony of voices. People talking and cursing, intermixed with the sound of coins, of levers being pulled. To anyone who has ever been to one, the sound is unmistakeable: it's a casino. Suddenly, there's the sound of a lever being pulled quite close to the communicator... a slot machine. And then...]

Upon my arrival here, I thought immediately that I had arrived in a world most readily comparable to a heap of dung. A world containing all the most disgusting features of my own home, but without the redeeming feature of its being my world - which is to say, the garden that belongs to me.

[...Bing bing bing! Jackpot. There's the sound of cascading coins - someone just got lucky. Right next to the communicator. Eh, it's probably the person speaking. Either way, said person doesn't stop - you quickly hear another coin, another pull of the lever.]

However. As it turns out, there are some minor pleasures to be had here. For example...

[--and judging from the sudden cascade of coins, it looks like he won again.]

...casinos. I'm not unaware of their existence on the Earth of my origin. However, due to circumstances, I have never had the pleasure of visiting one. There's something quite satisfying about that clatter of coins, however. Most pleasant.

[Did he just pull the lever again?]

I have since decided that this place is acceptable. Be proud, casino owners. You have earned the approval of The King.

[....he turns the broadcast off just as another jackpot begins to rain coins down from this poor, abused machine.]
