But stashed safely below the surface with the surf-boats, the $3,000 bicycles, the oversized helmets, a gaggle of translators and shadowy spies, and of course the next contingent of 72 virgin maidens hoping desperately that the cave caves in before Lurch is able to make his flaccid move: "Say, ladies, where does a man buy a huntin' license 'round here?"
