COWBOY BEBOP #16

A prison ship. The barred doors open and close. Dead policemen are littered across the floor, bleeding. An inmate named Tucan with a wine bottle approaches Udai Taxim, a dangerous man.

TUCAN: Hey, did you do that by yourself? Pretty good!

Tucan drinks from the bottle. Udai stares at him.

TUCAN: Hey, let's be amiable. We shouldn't waste what our whimsical god has given us.

UDAI: God?

TUCAN: Or rather, for these guys it would be the devil. Want some? It's Dom Perignon.

Tucan gives Udai the bottle. Udai pours the wine into the mouth of one of the dead officers.

UDAI: Cheers. To this ship that has charmed the devil.

The ship passes through hyperspace.

AMBER: It ain't easy getting it fix you know. Deal with in.

FAYE: Shut up! If you know about it, fix it!

JET: I'm busy right now.

FAYE: You can do THAT any time you want –

AMBER: And I said deal with it! God!

Jet's communicator rings. Faye grabs it before he can.

FAYE: We're busy!

Faye hangs up.

AMBER: Smooth move, girlfriend.

JET: Don't just hang up! What if it's an emergency?

The communicator rings again. Faye smiles.

JET: Oh, all right. You'll be happy if I fix it, right?

FAYE: Hi, he'll call you back. What's your name? OK, Fad. I'll tell him.

JET: Fad? Did you say Fad?

AMBER: You know the dude?

JET: Yeah... You could say that...

Jet's cigarette in his robotic left hand begins to burn down to his fingers.

FAYE: It's not hot?

Jet notices.
