OPENING CREDITS
|
|
Venus space. An incoming commercial space shuttle in a hyperspace gate.
|
|
FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Soon, this flight, 210, will arrive on Venus. Some people
|
|
may have an allergic reaction to the floating plants used
|
|
in the terraforming of Venus. It has a chance of
|
|
degenerating into Venus-sickness so if symptoms appear,
|
|
please consult a doctor immediately.
|
|
The shuttle exits the gate. Hijackers, Huey, Dewy and Louie, suddenly
|
|
attack.
|
|
HUEY: Quiet down, everyone! Both hands behind your heads! All of you!
|
|
RICH MAN: I-I'll give you money! I don't care about the others, let me
|
|
off...
|
|
Louie hits the rich man in the head with the but of her machine gun.
|
|
LOUIE: Anyone who makes a ruckus ends up like him!
|
|
A man named Roco, carrying a container wrapped in cloth, cowers in his
|
|
seat.
|
|
ROCO: Dammit... why did this have to be the day?
|
|
DEWY: You over there! HEY!
|
|
Dewy approaches Spike, apparently fast asleep.
|
|
DEWY: You listening to me?! You! Get up!
|
|
Spike opens his eyes.
|
|
DEWY: All right. Quietly put both hands behind your head...
|
|
Spike closes his eyes.
|
|
DEWY: Hey! Don't fall asleep! Who the hell do you think we are?!
|
|
Spike gets of stretching, pushing Dewy aside.
|
|
DEWY: YOU!
|
|
Dewy swings the barrel of his gun at Spike. Spike ducks and head butts him.
|
|
Huey charges at Spike from behind. Spike flips him onto Dewy.
|
|
SPIKE: Whoops, sorry.
|
|
LOUIE: That's enough!
|
|
Faye sprays Louie with a container of sedatives. Louie passes out.
|
|
FAYE: Enough of YOU, Ms. Bounty.
|
|
The Bebop drifts next to the shuttle.
|
|
Session #8
|
|
WALTZ FOR VENUS
|
|
The spaceport. A postal service desk.
|
|
ROCO: Don't be silly! This is 5000?!
|
|
POSTAL WORKER: Special price.
|
|
ROCO: That's not written anywhere up there!
|
|
POSTAL WORKER: But it's not to normal residential quarters.
|
|
ROCO: I'm asking ya for a favor here...
|
|
POSTAL WORKER: All the way out there to the middle of the desert...
|
|
Roco grabs him.
|
|
ROCO: Hey! Don't rip me off here!
|
|
POSTAL WORKER: W-Wait a minute...
|
|
Roco spots Spike. He leaves a package and money on the desk.
|
|
ROCO: Make sure it gets there! Got that?!
|
|
Roco runs after Spike.
|
|
POSTAL WORKER: Hey, wait!
|
|
Spike collects the bounty for the hijackers from a machine.
|
|
SPIKE: Thanks for the business.
|
|
Faye stands nearby.
|
|
FAYE: Hi.
|
|
SPIKE: What?
|
|
FAYE: My share.
|
|
SPIKE: Here?
|
|
FAYE: I need it now.
|
|
Spike transfers a portion of the bounty onto Faye's money card.
|
|
SPIKE: That's all you get.
|
|
FAYE: I know that!
|
|
Faye takes her card and walks off.
|
|
SPIKE: Depositing it at the casino again?
|
|
FAYE: It's better than a bank!
|
|
SPIKE: She never gives up...
|
|
Roco rushes toward Spike with a knife from behind. Spike trips Roco and he
|
|
stumbles to the floor.
|
|
SPIKE: I don't need any more pickpockets.
|
|
ROCO: Amazing... You're really amazing!
|
|
Roco gets up.
|
|
ROCO: You're the one that rounded up the hijackers with some amazing moves,
|
|
right? I have a favor to ask. Can you teach me how to move like that?
|
|
Is it Judo? Or Kung Fu?
|
|
Spike walks away. Roco follows Spike.
|
|
ROCO: Hey, wait a minute. I want to be strong, like you.
|
|
SPIKE: You're an annoying guy. A no is a no.
|
|
ROCO: Oh, come on. Just a little. Please, master! Please!
|
|
Spike enters an elevator.
|
|
ROCO: Hey, wait a sec!
|
|
The elevator door closes.
|
|
SPIKE: What was that guy...?
|
|
The elevator door opens. Roco stands in front of it out of breath from
|
|
running down flights of stairs. Spike walks away. Roco follows.
|
|
ROCO: C-Come on, just a little bit. Think of it as helping me. You got a
|
|
little bit of mercy in ya, right?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm out of that right now.
|
|
They walk out of the spaceport.
|
|
ROCO: Come on, please, it's not like you're losing anything.
|
|
SPIKE: Quit it already-?!
|
|
Spike notices that the pitch of his voice is high outside.
|
|
ROCO: Venus has a lot of helium in the atmosphere. You can fix it quickly
|
|
with some medicine.
|
|
Roco takes out a caplet. Spike takes it, swallows it and walks away.
|
|
ROCO: Come on, that's not fair! Man!
|
|
SPIKE: You're the one that-
|
|
The pitch of his voice didn't change. Roco laughs.
|
|
ROCO: That was just a throat drop.
|
|
SPIKE: You...!
|
|
Spike is angered.
|
|
ROCO: Oh! Hands-on training?
|
|
Roco does some stupid gestures.
|
|
SPIKE: You're...
|
|
ROCO: I'm Roco Bonnaro. Nice meeting you, master!
|
|
The Bebop. Petting Ein, Jet searches for another bounty on the computer.
|
|
JET: Our first income in a while. I'll feed you something good.
|
|
Ein barks.
|
|
JET: This is all thanks to the mastermind. And next up...
|
|
The spaceport. A group of thugs search for Roco.
|
|
A grassy strip of land outside the spaceport. Spike trains Roco.
|
|
SPIKE: I'm telling you to not tense up!
|
|
ROCO: But you can't defeat enemies that way.
|
|
SPIKE: The flow is more important, not power. You have to be like the
|
|
water. You get it?
|
|
ROCO: Not one bit.
|
|
SPIKE: That's what I thought. All right, come after me with a knife.
|
|
ROCO: You'll get hurt.
|
|
SPIKE: Just do it.
|
|
Roco takes out his knife.
|
|
ROCO: All right, here I come!
|
|
Roco charges, Spike dodges and trips him.
|
|
ROCO: What's going on?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm not tensing up anywhere. I'm just using your excessive force. I
|
|
control the flow of power and to do that, I have to relax the whole
|
|
body to be able to react to any movement. Yeah, I become like water.
|
|
ROCO: Water...?
|
|
SPIKE: Yeah. Water can take any form. It can flow along slowly or beat down
|
|
aggressively, right?
|
|
ROCO: I dunno if I get it or not...
|
|
Roco is alerted to the entrance of the spaceport. The thugs shove an old
|
|
man.
|
|
OLD MAN: You should take care of you elders!
|
|
Roco spots the group of thugs. Roco gives Spike the cloth-wrapped
|
|
container.
|
|
ROCO: Here, hold this! Tonight... No, tomorrow night. At the cathedral on
|
|
the outskirts of this town!
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, wait!
|
|
Roco runs away. The thugs chase after him.
|
|
THUGS: There he is! Don't let him get away!
|
|
The Bebop.
|
|
JET: Casino? The ones around here are famous for being stingy...
|
|
SPIKE: Don't worry about it. It's not our money...
|
|
JET: On top of it, she takes off like a bullet and we don't know when she
|
|
gets back... Hey, no use wasting time. How about making some pocket
|
|
cash?
|
|
Jet switches on the monitor.
|
|
JET: Piccaro Calvino. Usually a stingy little thief, but went in big this
|
|
time. Price is doubled if we get the whole crew.
|
|
Spike spots Roco on the screen. Jet flips to an image of a plant.
|
|
JET: And this is the stolen goods. It makes the remedy for Venus-sickness,
|
|
but apparently it's hard to grow them and they're worth tens of
|
|
millions.
|
|
Spike uncovers the container, revealing the stolen plant. Jet is startled.
|
|
Venus streets. Roco runs from the thugs. He shoves aside a bystander.
|
|
ROCO: Sorry!
|
|
Roco loses them around a corner.
|
|
THUG A: Shit, where did he go?
|
|
THUG B: Shit, he's sure good at running.
|
|
The Bebop.
|
|
FAYE: I say we take it. I mean, it's worth much more than nabbing that
|
|
group.
|
|
Jet hesitates.
|
|
JET: No, we can't!
|
|
FAYE: Hey, you thought for a moment!
|
|
JET: Idiot! It's better to not be involved with dangerous stuff like this!
|
|
FAYE: It's okay if they don't find out, right?
|
|
JET: So how much did you lose at the casino?
|
|
FAYE: What...?
|
|
SPIKE: I'll leave Piccaro up to you. I'm going after Roco.
|
|
FAYE: Why don't you wait? You're gonna see him anyway...
|
|
SPIKE: They say that Lady Bounty only has bangs.
|
|
FAYE: You mean Lady Luck.
|
|
Spike flies over a Venus desert in Swordfish II.
|
|
JET: Remains of a shuttle? Why in such a place?
|
|
SPIKE: Dunno...
|
|
JET: There might be some weirdos that do live out in the desert, but
|
|
still...
|
|
An ruined shuttle in the middle of the desert. Spike enters. A young woman
|
|
points a gun at him. She is Stella, Roco's sister.
|
|
STELLA: Don't move!
|
|
EYECATCH
|
|
STELLA: Don't move! Both hands up!
|
|
SPIKE: I'm nobody suspicious... That makes me sound even more suspicious,
|
|
doesn't it?
|
|
STELLA: Who are you? Why are you here? Answer me!
|
|
Stella walks toward Spike and stumbles. Spike catches her.
|
|
STELLA: Let go.
|
|
SPIKE: I just came here to see Roco-
|
|
STELLA: You're... Roco's friend?
|
|
SPIKE: Huh? Um, not-
|
|
STELLA: I'm glad...
|
|
A public bathroom. Roco relieves himself. He spots Piccaro next to him.
|
|
Piccaro smiles. Two thugs walk out of a stall.
|
|
THUG A: Hey, make sure you wash your hands.
|
|
Two more thugs enter.
|
|
THUG B: We can't find him, Boss.
|
|
They stop.
|
|
ROCO: H-Hi...
|
|
The shuttle in the desert. Spike and Stella sit with a kettle of tea.
|
|
STELLA: You know, it's all because of those floating plants. Sometimes they
|
|
send spores that look like snow. Most people are fine, but my body
|
|
isn't... and my eyes...
|
|
SPIKE: Isn't it inconvenient.
|
|
STELLA: No. It's not a big deal once you get used to it. Besides, sometimes
|
|
you understand more when you can't see.
|
|
SPIKE: You'll get better, right?
|
|
STELLA: If I put money into it. I don't mind staying as is... but Roco...
|
|
SPIKE: He cares about his little sister.
|
|
Stella takes a music box from the shelf.
|
|
STELLA: Roco sent me this yesterday.
|
|
Spike opens it.
|
|
STELLA: Everyone says bad things about him... and he seems to hang out with
|
|
some bad people... But Roco is a good person.
|
|
SPIKE: I might be one of those bad people he hangs out with.
|
|
STELLA: Maybe. Maybe you are. But you're different. I can tell. Both you
|
|
and Roco have something beautiful deep in you. It's hard to tell
|
|
but it's there. I can see it... that's why I'm offering you tea
|
|
like this.
|
|
Spike inspects the music box and finds a package of seeds. He puts the box
|
|
down.
|
|
SPIKE: Something beautiful, huh? I probably lost that long, long ago...
|
|
A shady bar. Faye enters and approaches a drunk.
|
|
FAYE: I want to see Piccaro. Tell me where he is.
|
|
DRUNK: What? I don't know who that is.
|
|
Thugs laugh and draw guns. Faye shoots the guns out of their hands and
|
|
drops a support beam from the ceiling on them.
|
|
FAYE: Can you remember?
|
|
DRUNK: I-I remember now!
|
|
The Bebop hanger.
|
|
JET: What did you just say? The price of a Gray Ash seed?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm just asking.
|
|
JET: Don't be a fool. Those things are like gems. You're lucky if you ever
|
|
see one... Well, it might be difficult to sell them once you get them
|
|
but I would say 8 million each. You got some?!
|
|
SPIKE: No...
|
|
JET: Thought not...
|
|
SPIKE: How about Piccaro?
|
|
JET: Oh, just a little more. Don't screw up on your end.
|
|
A dark street corner. Roco is cornered by Piccaro and his thugs.
|
|
PICCARO: So, little Roco. You can be nice and tell us where the pot is. If
|
|
you don't want to tell us...
|
|
The thugs close in on Roco.
|
|
ROCO: Sorry. I dropped it. That ain't gonna work, is it-?
|
|
The thugs beat up Roco.
|
|
PICCARO: My little Roco. I've heard that you have a little sister.
|
|
ROCO: She has nothing to do with this!
|
|
PICCARO: Oh, really? Then where is it?
|
|
ROCO: I-It's... Piccaro burns Roco's forehead with a lit cigar.
|
|
A shady motel room. Faye finds a male couple in bed. Faye grabs one of the
|
|
men and sticks her gun into his mouth.
|
|
FAYE: I want to see Piccaro. Tell me where he is.
|
|
MAN: H-Hyu don'f haff to be so suhhen...
|
|
FAYE: Huh? Where did you say?
|
|
MAN: I can'f breef...
|
|
An abandoned cathedral. Roco finds Spike.
|
|
SPIKE: Yo.
|
|
ROCO: O-Oh, you're here.
|
|
SPIKE: And I brought it, like you told me to. Sorry, but I snuck a peek inside.
|
|
ROCO: You know what it is?
|
|
SPIKE: Grey Ash. Something spectacular unlike its name. I mean, it's 10
|
|
times the bounty placed on all of you.
|
|
Roco pulls a gun and points it at Spike.
|
|
ROCO: You're a bounty hunter, aren't you...? Are you here to nab me?
|
|
SPIKE: Stella needs this, right?
|
|
Roco tosses the gun.
|
|
ROCO: Run, or you'll be killed!
|
|
Faye flies away in Red Tail
|
|
FAYE: What is this?! I was just sent on some wild goose chase! Jet! Are you
|
|
listening?!
|
|
The cathedral. A machine gun fires at Spike and Roco. Piccaro approaches.
|
|
ROCO: S-Stop, please... The Grey Ash is back... Come on, let him go. I'm
|
|
asking ya.
|
|
PICARRO: Sorry to make you deliver it all the way here. I give my thanks.
|
|
Roco grabs the barrel of one of the guns.
|
|
PICCARO: You!
|
|
Piccaro's thugs open fire. Spike runs to a corner and shoots back.
|
|
PICCARO: Get rid of him. Quickly!
|
|
Red Tail enters the scene.
|
|
FAYE: Piccaro Calvino! Stay still!
|
|
Red Tail causes massive destruction.
|
|
SPIKE: Can't she be a little more elegant?!
|
|
Hammerhead enters the scene.
|
|
JET: Don't kill them! Ya trying to kill our bounty?!
|
|
PICCARO: Bounty hunters? Get that thing back, now!
|
|
A man charges a Roco from behind.
|
|
SPIKE: ROCO:
|
|
Roco recalls Spike's moves, and flips him. He is enthralled by the
|
|
accomplishment. Spike gives him a thumbs up. Roco is shot from behind. He
|
|
drops the Grey Ash plant. The glass case breaks.
|
|
SPIKE: Roco!
|
|
The plant withers and dies.
|
|
PICARRO: Shit! Idiots...!
|
|
Red Tail traps Piccaro.
|
|
FAYE: Really, you've caused me enough trouble.
|
|
Spike tends to Roco.
|
|
SPIKE: Come on, hang on! You alive?! HEY!
|
|
ROCO: Master... did you... see that right... now?
|
|
SPIKE: Yeah. Don't speak anymore. I'll call a doctor right now.
|
|
Roco begins to slip away.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey!
|
|
ROCO: I have... a favor... In... the music... box...
|
|
SPIKE: I know. Leave Stella to me.
|
|
ROCO: I trust you...
|
|
SPIKE: All right, hold on. Now, don't die. Don't die!
|
|
Spike runs for help.
|
|
ROCO: Hey... if I knew you... earlier... would we... have been... friends?
|
|
Roco dies.
|
|
A hospital. Spike walks into Stella's room.
|
|
STELLA: Come in. Roco? It's you, Roco?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm taking his place.
|
|
STELLA: You'll do. You know what? Roco got me some Grey Ash! And the
|
|
operation fees! They told me my eyes will be better! Isn't it
|
|
wonderful? What should I do...? So tell him to come here right
|
|
now... to hurry over here!
|
|
Silence.
|
|
STELLA: Did he... get caught?
|
|
SPIKE: No...
|
|
STELLA: Then why isn't Roco coming?
|
|
Stella feels Spike's face.
|
|
STELLA: He's dead, isn't he... I see...
|
|
SPIKE: Stella.
|
|
STELLA: It's all right... leave me. I know. Roco died because he did
|
|
something bad, right? Please, leave me for today...
|
|
Spike begins to walk out.
|
|
STELLA: I...
|
|
Spike stops.
|
|
STELLA: I never got to see Roco once with my own eyes... Hey, what was Roco
|
|
really like?
|
|
SPIKE: You know without looking, right? He was a great guy. Just like the
|
|
one you knew...
|
|
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY...
