1 Leather & Lace #3 cover A steamship: Billy calls the girls through a porthole but they ignore him as they are having fun with each other. He says, "Stupid bints! They'll miss everything."Downtown Chanthaburi: Pam pointing, Chris in tights and leather jacket, and a young faced Billy peering around a corner see lots of little bare chested Oriental native boys who want to carry bags for them, give them chocolate bars, ask if they want guides, tell of a nice hotel. Billy says, "Urchin alert!" Chris gives the bag to two small boys. Pam tells them that inside is "our lizard collection." The place smells like a toilet in the hot sun and makes them homesick for NY. A Peter Lorre lookalike in bowler hat and suit watches them. The kids take them to Homer's American Bar. Billy feels like he is on the set of Casablanca. The hunchbacked man with a cap on his head is at the desk greeting them. A funny eyed skinny bellboy is there with short afro. A black man is playing the piano singing, "So just remember this...a kiss is just a kiss..a sigh is just a sigh." The Peter like guy tells them his name is Peter Lawery. They introduce themselves (actually Pam introduces all of them but the arrow on her bubble points to Lawery): Pam Wilde, Chris Nguyen, and Billy Williams. He furnishes things for people in Thailand. Billy is starved but the little man tells them they must leave at once if they are to get a boat for them. Chris goes to set up their room while Billy and Pam go with Peter. Chris goes to room 13 where she almost forgot the lizard. She takes him out of the duffle bag and ungags him. His info has been correct so far. Tied with his hands behind his back, his chest out, he says, "Stupid slut." She tells him they are not trying to destroy Stratton's empire but that is not a bad idea. She undresses and makes the lizard feel better and wet and happy. Chris reties him up, telling him that if Cindy is harmed in any way...she gags him again. Females dressed in rat costumes service a big fat man in sandals and a turban cap. This is Fatman. Pam tells him they believe her sister is near Tonle Lake in Cambodia. To get a captain to go there will cost a fortune which Pam has. He will send word with one of his rats in the morning. Pam and Billy leave. Pam asks, "Lizards, rats, are there no people left in the world. C'mon Billy." Billy has on a lightweight jacket, tóshirt, and short shorts with loafers, no socks. Peter and Fatman are being paid by Stratton for killing Pam, Chris, and Billy. Night: Billy complains about always getting the floor. Billy is wearing a shirt that says Debbie Gibson and goes to his crotch, he has on no pants. Chris asks where his chivalry is, calling him dud (instead of dude?). Billy thinks he might as well be tied up like the lizard (Pam says kinky). The lights are shut off by Pam. Three rats climb up the wall as all sleep, even the lizard boy. The lizard boy sees the rats coming in and a needle they have for him. He bangs his head against the bedóóhe is tied via ankles and hands at the foot of it. This wakes up the girls and Billy. Pam says, "What? Who? Yeowzers!" Billy is on his back holding the arm of a rat who is trying to push a needle into him. Chris kicks one offthe bed but the one trying to needle Pam kicks Chris. Homer Bently walks in, "What in tarnation is going on around here...some weird kind of party?" A rat jumps on him but he hits them but she kicks him between the legs, making steam come out of his ears. The rats jump out the window. Homer tells the girls, "The day ol' Homer Bently can't take a blow to the noodles like that, kid, is the day I'll swear off women." The lizard warned them and Pam knows it but sits with a foot on his head. Homer asks, "Lizard?" Billy says, "Don't ask!" They tell Homer about looking for Cindy. He says, "White slavery? Drug lords? Well, tarnation, kid. It looks like ol' Homer's comin out of retirement. I got me a boat, sweetheart, and I'll take you to find your sister.
