High Times On The Paddle Boat

At Table 1 on the top deck of the casino paddle boat Soufflé, a disagreement broke out.
“You just drank out of my mojito!” shouted the man in cowboy boots.
“Are you sure?” asked the man with earbuds.
“Yes!” The first man scattered the second man’s stack of chips with an accidental angry gesture.
The dealer ahemed.
The three glared at each other.
The Soufflé hit a wave, and the mojito tinkled, splashed, and fluttered all over the felt.
“What the hell!”
“Enough!”
“Come here you!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Everything somehow flew out the window and landed in the river.
