James Garret is the co-owner of the Atomic Wrangler Casino, along with his twin sister Francine Garret. He lives in Freeside in 2281.
Background[]
James is looking for prostitutes for his escort service. Speaking to him can begin the quest Wang Dang Atomic Tango which, despite the dubious connotations, does not give any negative Karma.
Though he denies it, James is also an alleged closet robot fetishist. With a Speech of 40, talking to James about Fisto after the quest, Wang Dang Atomic Tango will result in some humorous dialogue.
Daily schedule[]
James is at the counter of the Atomic Wrangler from 1 PM to 8 AM the next morning, heading upstairs for a short nap in the late morning.

Notes[]
- If the Courier is attacked by Benny's bodyguards during Ring-a-Ding-Ding!, he will compliment the Courier on beating "Benny's goon squad" and give them a free bottle of liquor.
- If the occupants of the Atomic Wrangler are killed except James attempting to talk to him will result in him talking in a drunken slur and the player character will not be able to engage in dialogue with him again.
- If the Courier goes behind the counter, both Garrets will go after the Courier but never attack, just warning the Courier to go away.
- If he can't be found at the bar any time the player character visits the casino, he may be found sleeping in his room in third floor, behind an average locked door.
- Billy Knight mentions James Garret in his standup routine.[1]
