COWBOY BEBOP# 3

Hyperspace rings over Mars. An herbal medicine shop in the city. A young woman named Faye enters and approaches the clerk.

FAYE: Such pretty eyes.

CLERK: You've got pretty eyes and a smile to match. Lookin' to score riches? I welcome all.

A group of thugs approach the entrance. Faye loads a machine gun.

FAYE: Ya know the first rule in combat?

Faye fires at the thugs.

FAYE: To get the first attack.

The thugs shoot back, shredding the store. They hold Faye at gunpoint.

FAYE: What an extended greeting this is...

Session #3

HONKY TONK WOMEN

A ship floating above Mars. A casino owner named Gordon holds Faye in custody.

GORDON: I didn't know that the sure-shot and master of poker, the legendary Poker Alice, was still alive.

FAYE: If she was still alive, she'd be 219 years old now.

GORDON: Of course. You sure don't look over 200. Besides, Alice never lost during her lifetime. She kept winning, without cheating.

FAYE: You have a way to prove that?

GORDON: I hear your carrying a large debt.

He pulls an ace card from Faye's shorts.

GORDON: Which do you prefer - the police or my establishment?

A casino called Spiders from Mars floating in Mars space. Spike, cigarette in mouth, Amber wearing her prom-like dark red dress with her hair up looking great, and Jet are on an elevator.

SPIKE: A prophecy?

JET: Charlie said, "Only hands can wash hands. If you want to receive, you must first give." Hey, doesn't that mean that Charlie is telling us to just do it? Right?

SPIKE: Do you think Charlie Parker would quote Goethe?

JET: Oh come on, it's all part of the dream I had.

AMBER: Whether it is a good dream, bad, or just weird.

SPIKE: The way things go; I say that even the hard-earned 5000 woolongs will disappear with your dream.

JET: Let me tell you something, Spike. This is a no smoking area.

Jet points to a "No Smoking" sign. Spike swallows the cigarette. They enter the casino. Both Jet and Amber were kind of grossed out by that.

AMBER: Really, Spike?

SPIKE: What? Doesn't hurt me doing it.

AMBER: Why did you ask me to go to a casino with you two again?

JET: To get out more to the real world.

AMBER: In this though!?

Spike love the dress Amber was wearing looking hot on her to him.

JET: You're welcome.

AMBER: I look like a tramp! And I hate women like that!

Spike comes up to Amber smelling her.

SPIKE: I think it suits you well. You smell nice too.

AMBER: Please don't do that.

JET: Alright enough of that, not in public. Spike, you shouldn't play. Your eyes are too good for this. They'll kick us out if you win too much.
