"Money," Jezabel spoke up.

"Yes," the Colonel affirmed. "We let a movie star play through the 
time trials and other 'less' dangerous events. The movie star gets his 
publicity, studios in Port Oasis get their racing footage for their trideo 
shows, and the team gets regular deposits of Southern currency."

"I don't like," Silas piped up as he finished his Nothern scotch. "I for 
one don't want to be babysitting some Southern trideo pansy. Even 
the time trials can be dangerous, what if this 'star' gets injured? What 
happens to the team then?"

"Well," the Colonel replied with a nervous look. "We'll just have to 
make sure that the contract protects us from such unfortunate 
incidents."

"You mean 'you will have to make sure'," Silas corrected. The Colonel 
frowned.
