Something slithers in the bowels of the Bebop.

Session #11
|
|
TOYS IN THE ATTIC
|
|
The Bebop. Jet narrates.
|
|
JET: Space travel log 0968. We were wasting our free time. It sounds good
|
|
to call the bounty-hunting job a "freelance" job but all that means is
|
|
that we're self-employed. When we have no jobs, we have none at all.
|
|
Well, that's all a part of our destiny but it's troublesome that we're
|
|
out of money. And so, we get urges to make quick cash...
|
|
LESSON 1
|
|
The living room. Faye holds up two dice.
|
|
FAYE: Any problem with using these?
|
|
Faye tosses the dice into a cup, and puts it down on the table. A shirtless
|
|
Jet contemplates.
|
|
JET: Evens!
|
|
FAYE: Evens, is it?
|
|
Jet thinks.
|
|
JET: No, odds after all!
|
|
FAYE: Odds, is it?
|
|
JET: Yeah... odds.
|
|
Faye reveals the dice.
|
|
FAYE: Double ace... Even.
|
|
Ed sleeps under the stairs.
|
|
ED: I can't eat any more...
|
|
In front of Faye, a pile of Jet's possessions.
|
|
FAYE: Well, it would be easiest for me if you paid up in cash. So what'll
|
|
it be?
|
|
JET: A man does not take back his word!
|
|
Jet stands, takes off his boxer shorts, tosses them into the air and exits.
|
|
Spike enters with flamethrower-cooked kabobs.
|
|
SPIKE: That's why I told you not to do it.
|
|
Spike bites into one of the kabobs and gags.
|
|
The creature continues its journey somewhere on the ship. Steam bursts from
|
|
a pipe, alerting Ein.
|
|
Jet enters the stock room. He narrates.
|
|
JET: Humans were meant to work and sweat for their money after all. Those
|
|
that try to get rich quick or live at the expense of others all get
|
|
divine retribution somewhere along the way. That is the lesson.
|
|
Jet puts on a blanket to cover his nakedness.
|
|
JET: But one thing about humans is that they quickly forget the lessons
|
|
they just learned.
|
|
Jet sneezes.
|
|
JET: Dammit.
|
|
Jet notices a refrigerator he hadn't seen before.
|
|
JET: There was a fridge way back here?
|
|
He walks toward it. A slushy noise approaches him.
|
|
Faye calculates her earnings. She narrates.
|
|
FAYE: Survival of the fittest is the law of the land. To fool and to be
|
|
fooled is the reason we live. I've never had anything good happen to
|
|
me when I trust others. That's the lesson.
|
|
LESSON 2
|
|
A slushy noise approaches Faye from behind. She turns around. It is Spike,
|
|
brushing his teeth.
|
|
SPIKE: How much did you swindle?
|
|
FAYE: Would you stop saying things that would hurt my reputation? He lost
|
|
on his own!
|
|
SPIKE: Because he couldn't see through this cheat?
|
|
Spike taps Faye's anklet with his foot, rolling the dice magnetically.
|
|
FAYE: It's part of one's skill to see through it.
|
|
SPIKE: At least give his clothes back to him.
|
|
FAYE: I'll lend them to him.
|
|
SPIKE: Greedy, aren't we?
|
|
FAYE: It's rough out there in the real world.
|
|
The alarm sounds.
|
|
Spike, Faye and Ein rush into the stock room.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, what's up?
|
|
JET: Something bit me.
|
|
FAYE: What do you mean, "something?"
|
|
Ein growls. A rat scampers by. Faye frowns.
|
|
JET: I-It wasn't a rat! Look at this! This wound on my neck!
|
|
Faye exits. Spike follows.
|
|
JET: HEY! FAYE: This is silly. It was a waste of time running over here.
|
|
JET: Spike! I was bitten around that fridge!
|
|
SPIKE: Fridge?
|
|
JET: Hmm? You have a clue?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm sure... there was something... Nope, can't remember.
|
|
Ein growls at the refrigerator. He hears something and exits.
|
|
The living room. Spike presents to Jet a jar of Chinese ointment from the
|
|
first aid box.
|
|
JET: You sure this is gonna work?
|
|
SPIKE: The only thing it doesn't work on are nearsightedness and cavities.
|
|
JET: Then it works on athlete's foot?
|
|
SPIKE: Of course.
|
|
JET: Don't you have something more legit that would get rid of sores?
|
|
SPIKE: That would be this.
|
|
Spike pulls a dried up lizard from the box.
|
|
JET: That gets rid of sores?
|
|
SPIKE: Yeah. Crush this, and you boil it in three cups of water until the
|
|
liquid simmers down to one cup, and you drink it.
|
|
JET: Spike, isn't there something more different?
|
|
SPIKE: Oh, I got just the thing.
|
|
JET: Yeah, gimme that...
|
|
Spike pulls out a dried up scorpion from the box.
|
|
JET: Gimme what you had before.
|
|
Ein is restless in the corridor.
|
|
Spike poors thick green liquid from a kettle into a glass in Jet's hand.
|
|
JET: Hey... I'm feeling a lot sicker now... Do I look pale?
|
|
SPIKE: You're pretty pale to begin with.
|
|
Faye enters.
|
|
FAYE: What is this awful smell?
|
|
SPIKE: Herbal medicine.
|
|
FAYE: Herbal medicine? THIS? It smells like you just left a rag that
|
|
cleaned up spilt milk out to dry!
|
|
SPIKE: I think it's more like rotten soybeans.
|
|
JET: Knock it off! I have to drink this ya know!
|
|
Jet drinks it and passes out.
|
|
FAYE: Oh, brother.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, now, this goes too far for a joke...
|
|
Spike notices a purple patch on the back of Jet's neck.
|
|
Jet lies on the couch barely conscious. Spike analyzes a sample of the
|
|
toxin with the computer.
|
|
FAYE: It was a rat, right? There's nothing to make a fuss about. Am I
|
|
wrong?
|
|
SPIKE: I have no clue. He seems to have gotten some poison that's not in
|
|
this database. Looking at similar poisons...
|
|
Spike attempts to match microbes.
|
|
SPIKE: Cryptosporidium... That's not it...
|
|
SPIKE: Cholera...?
|
|
Jet's eyes widen.
|
|
SPIKE: Nope...
|
|
Jet calms down.
|
|
SPIKE: Ebola virus...?
|
|
Jet calms down.
|
|
SPIKE: Nope...
|
|
Jet calms down.
|
|
SPIKE: Bifidobacterium...? Not even close.
|
|
Ein barks.
|
|
FAYE: What is it? Ein, you're being noisy.
|
|
SPIKE: I can say for sure that it wasn't an ordinary rat. Hey, keep it
|
|
quiet.
|
|
FAYE: So what is it?
|
|
SPIKE: Well, it's...
|
|
Ed pops up.
|
|
ED: A mysterious space creature! Spooky! The attack of a horrible space
|
|
creature!
|
|
SPIKE: Oh, yeah, there's that possibility... Heh... Yeah, right.
|
|
ED: Then what is it? It's not in the database.
|
|
SPIKE: Yeah...
|
|
Ed points at the monitor.
|
|
ED: These base-pairs are weird, too.
|
|
SPIKE: You think so?
|
|
ED: We've never seen symptoms like this before either. Other than a space
|
|
creature, what is it? What is it?
|
|
SPIKE: Well... um, perhaps something like a rat went through a mutation...
|
|
and evolved into some mysterious creature... and carried a
|
|
mysterious poison...
|
|
FAYE: What's that about? That isn't too different from the "mysterious
|
|
space creature" theory! This is too silly.
|
|
Ein barks.
|
|
ED: Aiya... what are we gonna do, Ein? It's a space creature!
|
|
Ein barks.
|
|
ED: It's spooky!
|
|
The creature continues its journey. It spots Faye reading in a bathtub.
|
|
Faye notices something drop from the cieling but ignores it.
|
|
The living room. Spike hooks a heat sensor up to Ed's goggles and his
|
|
spectacles.
|
|
SPIKE: All right. This is made to sense heat sources. It's usually used to
|
|
find bounties that are hiding. Can you see me?
|
|
Ed is thrilled to see Spike and Ein in heat vision.
|
|
SPIKE: All right, I'm gonna test it, so move just like I tell you...
|
|
Ein runs off and Ed chases after him.
|
|
ED: Ein! Where are you going?
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, wait! HEY!
|
|
Through the spectacles, Spike notices a hot blob slither switftly across
|
|
the floor.
|
|
SPIKE: That's weird... Is it broken?
|
|
Faye runs into the room with a distressed expression on her face.
|
|
SPIKE: Was that response from you?
|
|
FAYE: That story you were telling, about some mysterious creature or
|
|
somethingarather...
|
|
SPIKE: Oh, yeah.
|
|
FAYE: What happens if you're bitten?
|
|
SPIKE: I can't say for sure until we catch the creature, but I'm going to
|
|
guess...
|
|
FAYE: Death? No... Why did it have to be this way? I still have a lot to
|
|
live for... I haven't committed any crimes... I'm still young and
|
|
lively...
|
|
SPIKE: Lively?
|
|
FAYE: Oh, poor little me!
|
|
Faye collapses onto the floor.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey now, why are you getting into this...?
|
|
Faye collapses. Spike notices large purple mark on her leg.
|
|
The creature continues its journey.
|
|
EYECATCH
|
|
Ed wanders through the hallway.
|
|
ED: August 6th. Skyday. Today, we will go look for the spooky mysterious
|
|
space creature.
|
|
LESSON 3
|
|
ED: Lesson, lesson... if you see a stranger, follow him!
|
|
Ed opens the bathroom door and peers in.
|
|
ED: Are you here? Are you here, Mr. Spooky Creature?
|
|
Spike enters the hanger.
|
|
SPIKE: Ed! Ein! Hey! This isn't hide-and-seek!
|
|
Ed sings.
|
|
ED: Exploration, experimentation, exclamation. Lights shine bright in the
|
|
many towns.
|
|
Ed salutes.
|
|
ED: I will come back alive. I trust you, Ed.
|
|
She grabs railing from above and drops the heat sensor. Eins scampers off.
|
|
ED: Ein!
|
|
The hanger.
|
|
SPIKE: Are ya in here? You're not in here? Answer me!
|
|
A dark corridor. Ein sniffs around. The creature attacks from above. Ein
|
|
squeals.
|
|
Spike hears Ein and runs toward the sound.
|
|
SPIKE: Ein! Really... Ein, Ed... What happened?
|
|
He finds Ein with the heat sensor. Ein has a purple splotch on his back.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, hang in there! Where's Ed? I can't believe it got you this
|
|
easily. You're a dog! Where're your natural instincts?!
|
|
Through heat vision, Spike sees the creature approaching. He grabs Ein and
|
|
runs away.
|
|
The living room. Spike observes Jet, Faye and Ein, all unconscious from the
|
|
monster's bite.
|
|
SPIKE: No choice... Guess I'm going in!
|
|
Spike gears up and programs the Bebop's autopilot.
|
|
BEBOP: Cruising down Route 66.
|
|
LESSON 4
|
|
BEBOP: Approximate cruising time left: 82 hours. From here, we will enter
|
|
full autopilot. After passing the gate, this ship will automatically
|
|
land on Mars. The route cannot be changed after confirmation.
|
|
Following a tracer, Spike enters the rotating part of the ship.
|
|
SPIKE: Ed! You aren't here, are you? Hey!
|
|
Spike finds Ed's heat sensor on the floor.
|
|
SPIKE: Did that thing get her too...?
|
|
Spike enters a dark corridor. Oil drips from a pipe above, startling him.
|
|
SPIKE: Don't surprise me!
|
|
Spike stops to light a cigarette. The blob slithers past Spike.
|
|
SPIKE: I've been waiting for ya!
|
|
Spike fires a net at the creature. It slips through. The creature advances
|
|
at Spike, making him fall and break his spectacles. He gets up.
|
|
SPIKE: Excellent!
|
|
He tosses gas cans, slips out of the room and seals it. He sits down,
|
|
cigarette still in mouth. He reaches into his coat and pockets for his
|
|
lighter but could not find it. He blasts the cigarette with the
|
|
flamethrower, burning it completely. He gives up. Spike returns into the
|
|
gas-filled room then leaps back out, blob behind him. He fires his gun at
|
|
it.
|
|
SPIKE: Come on, you slime!
|
|
The blob charges at him. He leaps over it and continues to fire. He makes a
|
|
connecting shot, striking it dead center.
|
|
SPIKE: Got 'im!
|
|
Spike fries the blob with the flamethrower. He approaches it, smelling the
|
|
fumes coming off of it.
|
|
SPIKE: This thing seems familiar...
|
|
Spike remembers the kabobs.
|
|
SPIKE: I guess I shoulda eaten that... Oh yeah, it should be in the
|
|
fridge...
|
|
Spike suddenly remembers something he should not have forgotten.
|
|
The stock room. Spike narrates.
|
|
SPIKE: That was when I remembered everything. It was... oh, one year ago.
|
|
When I had gotten a hold of a real lobster I hid it in the fridge in
|
|
this stock room just so nobody else would eat it. But I had
|
|
forgotten about it, and left it in there for a whole year, I wonder
|
|
what it looks like in there now...
|
|
Spike opens the fridge and sees a disgusting mess. He slams the fridge.
|
|
Spike disables the gravity of the ship and pushes the refrigerator out of
|
|
the stock room and into the corridor leading to the hatch. The blob leaps
|
|
from the refrigerator and bites Spike on the wrist.
|
|
SPIKE: Shit...!
|
|
The creature slithers away.
|
|
SPIKE: Dammit...!
|
|
The refrigerator bounces off of the closed hatch. The door begins to creak
|
|
open. Spike opens the hatch and pushes the refrigerator out into space. As
|
|
he closes the hatch, he passes out. Spike narrates.
|
|
SPIKE: You shouldn't leave things in the fridge. That is the lesson.
|
|
Somewhere on the Bebop. Ed sleeps. The creature floats by. Ed grabs it.
|
|
ED: Sweet bean roll!
|
|
Ed tosses the blob into her mouth, chews and swallows.
|
|
ED: Mmm... can't eat anymore...
|
|
THE END
|
|

|
|
ED: And so, they all passed away. Everyone, it was brief, but thanks for
|
|
your support. This was the last episode. I hope they rest in peace.
|
|
Amen. And starting next episode, we bring you "Cowgirl Ed!" I'm the
|
|
main character!

SPIKE: Hey, wait a minute!
|
|
FAYE: What kinda selfish crap is that?!
