OPENING CREDITS
|
|
Somewhere. Sometime. Laughing Bull and a child sit by a tent. The two spot
|
|
a shooting star.
|
|
CHILD: The star fell, Bull.
|
|
BULL: That is no ordinary star. That is the tear of a warrior.
|
|
CHILD: What is a warrior?
|
|
BULL: One who has finished his battle somewhere on this planet... A pitiful
|
|
soul that could not believe in the Great Spirit...
|
|
Space. Aboard a Red Dragon Syndicate cruiser. A young man named Lin,
|
|
Vicious, and three elders, leaders of the syndicate, Wang Long, Ping
|
|
Long and Sou Long discuss a potential drug deal.
|
|
LIN: The report from Callisto went directly to Sir Vicious. He is
|
|
requesting a deal for Red-Eye. 30,000 Woolongs per gram. A total of
|
|
7500 grams.
|
|
WANG LONG: Why did he specify you as the dealer?
|
|
VICIOUS: He is a Titan veteran. We were in the same unit.
|
|
SOU LONG: Why does he rely on you now?
|
|
VICIOUS: Callisto is undergoing a depression right now. If he can't see the
|
|
future, he is sure to worry.
|
|
PING LONG: All the more reason to keep our hands out of that moon.
|
|
SOU LONG: Vicious, are you not the one that is worrying?
|
|
PING LONG: You have no permission to make your own decisions.
|
|
SOU LONG: Regardless of who it is, those who go against the Van's will are
|
|
punished.
|
|
VICIOUS: You believe that I would betray my own mentor?
|
|
PING LONG: Mao's case was merely bad luck.
|
|
WANG LONG: Lin... You shall go with Vicious.
|
|
LIN: Yes.
|
|
PING LONG & SOU LONG: Wang Long!
|
|
WANG LONG: Callisto is a frigid planet. Take plenty of winter clothes.
|
|
VICIOUS: To me, no cold climate is worth taking precautions for.
|
|
WANG LONG: It is true that the planet is warmer than your heart. Your heart
|
|
is colder than a snake's skin.
|
|
Vicious stands from his seat and begins to exit.
|
|
WANG LONG: Vicious.
|
|
Vicious stops.
|
|
WANG LONG: A snake cannot eat a dragon.
|
|
The rotating part of the ship.
|
|
VICIOUS: I will be fine by myself.
|
|
LIN: I'll go with you.
|
|
VICIOUS: Remember this. If you want to survive, you must betray me at
|
|
times.
|
|
LIN: No, never. That would go against the Van's will.
|
|
VICIOUS: Such old-fashioned thinking makes me nauseous. Those damn corpses!
|
|
LIN: I will protect you, for the honor of the Red Dragon.
|
|
VICIOUS: Honor, huh...? Then, it's up to me to slaughter them all!
|

JUPITER JAZZ (PART I)
|
|
The Bebop. Spike wakes from a nap on the couch.
|
|
SPIKE: It's hot...
|
|
He spots Ed on her computer.
|
|
SPIKE: Where are the others?
|
|
Ed gestures with her head.
|
|
SPIKE: What a depressing bunch...
|
|
The control room. Jet, among floating nuts and bolts, examines the ship.
|
|
SPIKE: What's with this humidity? It's so muggy that I can't sleep!
|
|
Jet tosses Spike a note.
|
|
JET: Oh, it's just a breakdown.
|
|
Spike catches it and reads.
|
|
SPIKE: "It'd be hard for me to do if I saw your faces so I'm leaving
|
|
without seeing you one last time. PLEASE don't look for me." That
|
|
wench...
|
|
JET: She sucked out all the antifreeze from the radiator. It'll be out for
|
|
at least half a day.
|
|
SPIKE: Even if she didn't pull this stunt we wouldn't look for her. Right?
|
|
Jet smiles.
|
|
JET: She emptied out the safe as well.
|
|
Spike and Jet approach Ed to look for Faye on the internet.
|
|
ED: 7, 8, 9... hello!
|
|
SPIKE: Are you really looking for Faye?
|
|
ED: 1, 0, 1, 1, good-bye!
|
|
SPIKE: Are you just wasting time?
|
|
JET: Is there anything else to do right now?
|
|
ED: Ooh! Boom!
|
|
SPIKE: You found her?!
|
|
ED: I wonder who this is... Lesse... code name... Julia!
|
|
The name catches Spike's attention.
|
|
SPIKE: Where is that coming from?!
|
|
ED: Lesse... Pretty close... Looks like Blue Crow on Callisto...
|
|
SPIKE: Where's it going to?
|
|
ED: It got disconnected...
|
|
Spike runs off.
|
|
JET: Hey!
|
|
ED: But... Actually, there are no girls in Blue Crow. Honestly...
|
|
JET: Hey, Spike...
|
|
Jet runs off.
|
|
ED: Is that it?
|
|
The rotating part of the ship. Jet chases after Spike.
|
|
JET: Hey! Hey, wait, Spike! That's a common woman's name! What about Faye?
|
|
SPIKE: Leave her.
|
|
JET: This is a lawless area. A woman surely can't survive wandering about
|
|
all alone!
|
|
SPIKE: Feeling sympathetic?
|
|
JET: Plenty of sympathy... for the money she ran away with!
|
|
JET: Spike!
|
|
Spike enters the hanger. Jet follows.
|
|
SPIKE: I'm gonna go look.
|
|
JET: What?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm gonna look for my woman. You can look for that other woman.
|
|
JET: You're gonna have nothing to do with this? That's right. We only go so
|
|
far. Even if you come back, there won't be a place for you here.
|
|
SPIKE: Can't do anything about it. I'm sure you're not as lonely now that
|
|
you have more strange roommates.
|
|
JET: Me? You stayed here just for that reason? You're being stupid! It's
|
|
been three years since I teamed up with you. But I never knew you
|
|
looked at me that way! I was under the impression that YOU were the
|
|
lonely one!
|
|
SPIKE: Well we got rid of that misunderstanding.
|
|
Spike boards Swordfish II.
|
|
JET: Good riddance! Now we'll have more money for food! I never did
|
|
understand you, even to the very end!
|
|
SPIKE: I don't understand, either.
|
|
JET: So long!
|
|
Swordfish II takes off for Calisto.
|
|
Faye sits in a shady bar called Rester House. A saxophone player named Gren
|
|
plays a solemn tune.
|
|
A junkyard. A man smashes monitors with a large mallet.
|
|
MAN: I don't know any woman. Like I would know!
|
|
SPIKE: Not even a rumor?
|
|
MAN: I have no luck with 'em! I'd rather be with an armadillo!
|
|
SPIKE: Have you heard of the name Julia?
|
|
MAN: You should a said so earlier! There's one in front of Tony's place
|
|
every night!
|
|
On the street. Spike approaches a blonde drag queen.
|
|
JULIUS: Excuse me! I'm not Julia. Ju-li-US! I'm Julius!
|
|
SPIKE: Oh, I see...
|
|
JULIUS: Hey, you're my type. Wanna hang out with me tonight?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm sorry, I already have plans.
|
|
JULIUS: Oh, yeah. Gren might know something... I've seen him with a woman
|
|
before.
|
|
SPIKE: Gren?
|
|
DRAG QUEEN A: It's cold.
|
|
DRAG QUEEN B: Looks like this is it for tonight.
|
|
DRAG QUEEN A: Oh, a customer?
|
|
JULIUS: Not even. Can't you tell he's straight? Come on, let's switch
|
|
locations.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, who and where is Gren?
|
|
JULIUS: So you wanna hang out with me tonight? He's a sax player in Blue
|
|
Crow.
|
|
Rester House. Faye sneezes. Gren approaches her.
|
|
GREN: Take care.
|
|
Faye turns and sees him
|
|
GREN: That was close. When someone sneezes and doesn't get told to take
|
|
care, that person becomes a fairy. That's what they say around here.
|
|
Faye smiles.
|
|
FAYE: Then it's okay. I'm already a fairy.
|
|
Gren puts his coat over her shoulders.
|
|
FAYE: I'm not as easy as I appear to be.
|
|
GREN: Unfortunately, I am not interested in women...
|
|
FAYE: Oh, that's a shame...
|
|
GREN: But the others seem to be highly interested. You didn't know that
|
|
there were no women in this town?
|
|
FAYE: So I'll be very popular...
|
|
GREN: You should watch out...
|
|
Faye tosses Gren's coat back to him.
|
|
FAYE: Thanks for the warning.
|
|
She exits.
|
|
EYECATCH
|
|
Spike walks down a dark alley and finds a suspicious man.
|
|
SPIKE: I'm searching for something...
|
|
MAN: There's nothing here. The only things are stale bread, a broken-down
|
|
car, and rancid booze.
|
|
SPIKE: I'm looking for a guy named Gren.
|
|
MAN: No idea.
|
|
SPIKE: I see.
|
|
Spike continues on his way. The suspicious man and several men in oxygen
|
|
masks follow Spike. Spike runs into a dead-end.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, you need something?
|
|
MAN: You're Vicious, right?
|
|
SPIKE: ME?!
|
|
MAN: Where's the money?
|
|
MASKED MAN IN FRONT: If ya don't put out, it won't do ya any good!
|
|
Spike is infuriated.
|
|
SPIKE: This is annoying... So annoying it's repulsive!
|
|
Spike beats the living daylights out of the lot of them. He puts the
|
|
suspicious man in a head lock.
|
|
SPIKE: What the hell do you mean?! Why the hell am I Vicious?
|
|
MAN: There was info that there was gonna be some deal for Red-Eye. From
|
|
Gren to Vicious. I thought of taking that cash...
|
|
Spike tosses him.
|
|
SPIKE: You think I look like I got money?
|
|
MAN: Foreigners are all rich.
|
|
SPIKE: And the code name was Julia?
|
|
MAN: Heh... Sure sounds like some easy wench's name!
|
|
SPIKE: Yeah... really.
|
|
Spike knocks him out.
|
|
A shady bar. Jet enters. Big Shot is on a monitor.
|
|
JET: Gimme a Cowboy.
|
|
BARTENDER: There are no bounties around here.
|
|
JET: Bourbon with milk.
|
|
BARTENDER: Oh, THAT Cowboy. I knew that. You can't possibly be a bounty
|
|
hunter.
|
|
Jet watches the show.
|
|
JUDY: So, who's our customer today? Grencia Mars Eliijah Guo Eckener.
|
|
That's a long name!
|
|
PUNCH: Yeah. He escaped from military prison three years ago and the
|
|
statute of limitations is about to expire.
|
|
JUDY: And that means?
|
|
PUNCH: The bounty is double!
|
|
JUDY: This is a chance you can't miss! But I kinda feel like we can let him
|
|
go...
|
|
PUNCH: Judy, what are you saying? He's an escaped convict!
|
|
JUDY: But, Punch... He's very handsome! Just look at his picture!
|
|
PUNCH: Lesse... Oh, come on... I'm much more handsome than he is...
|
|
Jet takes out his communicator forgetting he is ignoring Spike. He
|
|
remembers and put it back into his coat.
|
|
JUDY: Punch, I just can't laugh at that joke...
|
|
JET: Hey, can you turn that thing off?!
|
|
BARTENDER: Well, calm down. I'm sorry, man.
|
|
The bartender turns off the monitor.
|
|
BARTENDER: Don't worry.
|
|
He points to an unconscious man in sitting to the side.
|
|
BARTENDER: That guy passed out over there is a cop.
|
|
JET: What do ya wanna say?
|
|
BARTENDER: Actually, there's a bounty on my head, too. This place is a
|
|
hideout for people like that.
|
|
JET: I see...
|
|
BARTENDER: So you can rest assured.
|
|
JET: Me?
|
|
The bartender gives Jet a thumbs up. Jet sighs.
|
|
Faye walks down an empty dark alley.
|
|
FAYE: What's with this? I wanted to get rid of all this frustration, and
|
|
nobody's coming?
|
|
She turns around and spots the group Spike beat up earlier.
|
|
FAYE: Oh... you're all here.
|
|
MAN: Miss, your appearance is rather harmful to the eyes. Or are you
|
|
enticing us?
|
|
FAYE: Yeah, I am... Hold on a minute.
|
|
She puts on leather gloves.
|
|
FAYE: If I don't do this, I'll chip a nail... Okay, any time now!
|
|
A masked man charges at her.
|
|
MASKED MAN: You wench...!
|
|
She dodges and kicks him in the back. The suspicious man charges at her.
|
|
Gren, out of nowhere, smashes the man's face against his saxophone case.
|
|
GREN: Hurry!
|
|
Gren takes Faye's hand and they run.
|
|
Gren's apartment.
|
|
FAYE: Why did you bring me here?
|
|
GREN: Because you said you're a fairy. Why did you come with me?
|
|
FAYE: 'Coz I got no place to stay.
|
|
GREN: You can trust me that easily?
|
|
FAYE: You said you weren't interested in women.
|
|
GREN: I might take your money and kill you...
|
|
FAYE: That's fine. I've lived longer than I seem.
|
|
Faye picks up a small music box and winds it. Gren grabs it out of her
|
|
hand.
|
|
GREN: It's broken. You came to such a slummy neighborhood all by yourself?
|
|
FAYE: I'm alone. I don't want comrades and it's not worth having any... I
|
|
end up worrying about things I don't have to... You know, 'coz I'm
|
|
such a good woman... All the guys end up fighting for me. They often
|
|
say that humans can't live alone... But you can live pretty long by
|
|
yourself. Instead of feeling alone in a group it's better to be alone
|
|
in your solitude. When I'm dealing with them, it's nothing but
|
|
trouble and I don't get squat out of it... So it doesn't matter if
|
|
I'm there or not...
|
|
GREN: You just got scared of losing them. So you distanced yourself from
|
|
them.
|
|
FAYE: You're weird.
|
|
GREN: Think so?
|
|
FAYE: I don't know why I'm talking to you about this... I feel like I'm in
|
|
a confessional... Have you ever had experience as a minister?
|
|
GREN: No...
|
|
They look into each other's eyes. Suddenly Faye sneezes.
|
|
GREN: Take care. You want to take a shower?
|
|
FAYE: No, thanks. I don't know where peeping toms might be...
|
|
GREN: You shouldn't peek, either.
|
|
FAYE: Hm, I can't guarantee that.
|
|
Faye looks at photographs on Gren's wall. She sees a familiar face.
|
|
Suddenly the phone rings. The answering machine picks up the call.
|
|
VICIOUS: Gren... You're not there?
|
|
FAYE: Vicious?!
|
|
VICIOUS: I'm out with "honroutou." Along with the "mangan" and the
|
|
"ura-dora," it's 32,000. I'll be waiting.
|
|
A snowy vacant lot. Spike approaches Vicious and Lin.
|
|
SPIKE: Are you dating Julia behind my back?
|
|
LIN: Sir Spike!
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, Lin. You've gotten pretty big.
|
|
VICIOUS: He used to work under you, but things are different now.
|
|
SPIKE: I feel sorry for her. Having her name used for some crooked deal
|
|
like this.
|
|
VICIOUS: You were always the one leaving others out of the loop.
|
|
Vicious grasps the handle of his katana.
|
|
SPIKE: We still haven't settled the score from earlier.
|
|
Spike points his gun at him.
|
|
VICIOUS: Anytime.
|
|
Lin stands guard in front of Vicious.
|
|
SPIKE: Lin!
|
|
Gren's apartment. Armed, Faye goes into the bathroom where Gren showers.
|
|
She pulls away the shower curtain.
|
|
The vacant lot.
|
|
SPIKE: Get out of the way, Lin!
|
|
VICIOUS: Julia was here, in this town.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey, out of the way, Lin!
|
|
Lin points his gun at Spike.
|
|
SPIKE: Lin...
|
|
Gren's apartment. Shocked, Faye sees a pair of breasts on Gren.
|
|
FAYE: A woman?
|
|
Even more shocked, she peers down to see a set of male genitalia.
|
|
FAYE: W-Which are you?
|
|
He corners Faye.
|
|
GREN: I am both, but I am neither.
|
|
The vacant lot. Lin shoots Spike. Vicious and Lin leave. Spike lies
|
|
unconscious in the snow.

COMING EPISODE
|
|
SPIKE: Hey... How are men and women different?
|
|
FAYE: Hmm... I think women are hiding more vital things than men are.
|
|
SPIKE: Yeah... but there are women that aren't feminine.
|
|
FAYE: And there are men that aren't masculine.
|
|
SPIKE: What about those that aren't normally feminine but show that side on
|
|
some chance circumstance? I like that.
|
|
FAYE: Oh?
|
|
SPIKE: I'm not talking about you.
|
|
FAYE: Then who?
|
|
ED: Maybe it's Ed!
|
|
SPIKE: Next episode: "Jupiter Jazz (Part II)."
|
|
JET: Maybe it's me.
|
|
|
