COWBOY BEBOP #1

A rainy street. A thin, puffy-haired man named Spike Spiegel smokes cigarette. A rose falls into a puddle. A shoot out in a dark building. A wicked smile. A mysterious green hair girl name Amber Rose wearing a raincoat takes off on a journey to find someone special to her and ending her nightmare for good all happened three years ago.

Session #1

ASTEROID BLUES

Hyperspace rings over Mars. An old fishing ship called the Bebop flies through hyperspace. Spike practices martial arts in the dark. A brawny, bald man named Jet Black tosses bell peppers in a wok.

JET: Hey, Spike! It's ready!

SPIKE: I'm just about done myself. What's cooking?

JET: Special, Beef with bell peppers.

The living room.

JET: Asimov Solensan. This is our next target.

SPIKE: Hey, Jet...

JET: He's a high-end of the syndicate that deals all around the asteroids.

SPIKE: About this Beef with bell peppers.

JET: This guy's name is Asimov Solensan. Weren't you listening to me?!

SPIKE: You DON'T call a meatless "beef with bell peppers" "beef with bell peppers"...do you?

JET: Yes, you do.

SPIKE: No, you don't!

JET: You do when you're broke!

SPIKE: What happened to the 1 million Woolongs we got as bounty from that last guy?!

JET: The repair bill the plane you wrecked and the repair bill for the shop you trashed and the medical bill for the cop you injured KILLED ALL THE DOUGH!

Silence.

JET: Three days ago, there was a shootout between his group and an enemy Syndicate. He killed his own men and took off. They say he's hiding with his woman in Tijuana.

SPIKE: That's a place for nobodies to go.

JET: Despite being a nobody, he's worth 2.5 million.

SPIKE: Don't feel like it.

JET: Tijuana...The beef there is REALLY tasty...

The exit of the hyperspace rings. Recorded voices in different languages begin to speak.

RECORDED VOICES: Attention, please. We will soon arrive at the gate. We look forward to serving you again. Please line up single file at the tollbooth after clearing the gate. Please pass by after switching the credit sensors to debit mode.

A digital receipt for 7500 Woolongs.

On the Bebop.

JET: I'll head over after hitting the cops for clues.

SPIKE: Then I'll try seeing old man Bull.

JET: Can you trust that old buy?

Spike starts up his red fighter craft, Swordfish II, whistling a sad little tune. Swordfish rolls out, its wings fold down.

JET: Such an easygoing song.

Jet turns off the magnet on the deck. Swordfish floats off the deck and blasts off.

Tijuana. Ships and cars zoom by the crowded streets. A man chases two boys carrying large paper bags.

MAN: THIEF!
