|
The cemetery. Julia is pointing her gun at Spike.
|
|
JULIA: It was raining that day as well...
|
|
SPIKE: You didn't come because of the rain?
|
|
JULIA: I was supposed to kill you. That day if I had killed you I would
|
|
have been free.
|
|
SPIKE: So why didn't you? Why did you choose to be pursued?
|
|
JULIA: Why did you love me?
|
|
Julia puts down the gun and embraces Spike.
|
|
JULIA: Let's just run away somewhere. Truly escape from this world and go
|
|
where no one else is... Just the two of us... (back to Asteroid Blues)

Session #26
|
|
THE REAL FOLK BLUES (PART II)
|
|
The chamber. Lin enters to see the remains of the carnage. Vicious
|
|
approaches Lin.
|
|
VICIOUS: What about him?
|
|
SHIN: He got away. All our men were defeated, we ran out of weapons and
|
|
lost all means to -
|
|
VICIOUS: Why did you come back? Where is Julia?
|
|
Shin hesitates.
|
|
SHIN: I don't know...
|
|
VICIOUS: Shin. Don't follow in Lin's footsteps. (ie, protecting Spike from Vicious)
|
|
The rainy streets of Mars. Julia and Spike ride in her red convertible.
|
|
SPIKE: Keep going, and pass the place.
|
|
JULIA: What?
|
|
SPIKE: Someone might have gotten here already.
|
|
They pass Annie's store and stop a block away from it.
|
|
SPIKE: Wait here.
|
|
Annie's store. Spike enters.
|
|
SPIKE: Annie...?
|
|
Annie is sitting on a bench, holding a bleeding wound, dying. She struggles
|
|
to speak.
|
|
ANNIE: I told them that you weren't here. That you were already dead. I
|
|
told them -
|
|
SPIKE: Don't talk.
|
|
ANNIE: Vicious killed off the elders, they said. Everyone has lost sense of
|
|
where they want to be... Just like kites with no strings.
|
|
Julia enters.
|
|
ANNIE: I see... you were able to meet Julia... I'm glad...
|
|
JULIA: Annie!
|
|
ANNIE: It's... rather chilly... today...
|
|
Annie slips away. Julia covers her with her coat.
|
|
Spike retrieves artillery from the back shelf.
|
|
JULIA: You don't need weapons like that just to run away...
|
|
Spike is silent.
|
|
JULIA: You're going to go... I'll go with you. Until the very end, I'll be
|
|
with you.
|
|
SPIKE: I'm sorry. I'm gonna make a bit of a scene.
|
|
The Bebop. Downed somewhere barren on Mars.
|
|
JET: You sure are a lucky woman.
|
|
FAYE: Really. I came back just at the right time, and got involved in just
|
|
the right way. I really am lucky.
|
|
JET: The Red Tail won't be mobile for a while.
|
|
FAYE: You're doing pretty well yourself... Getting the short end of the
|
|
stick and all. He's probably not coming back, you know that? He might
|
|
have been offed somewhere already.
|
|
JET: Maybe so. But, so what? Do you want me to go looking for him? You've
|
|
got to be kidding! He went off to do away with his past!
|
|
FAYE: You made him go.
|
|
Jet grabs Faye by the collar of her outfit.
|
|
JET: My leg was shot, my ship is busted! Hell, yeah! He was nothing but
|
|
trouble! Like I care!
|
|
Jet lets go. They turn away from each other. Both are silent for a moment.
|
|
JET: So what kind of a woman was Julia?
|
|
FAYE: A normal woman... A beautiful, dangerous but normal woman that you
|
|
can't leave alone...
|
|
JET: I see.
|
|
FAYE: Like a devilish angel... or maybe an angelic devil...
|
|
The street. Julia's convertible explodes.
|
|
Annie's store. Gunfire enters from the outside. Spike shoots a thug and
|
|
runs up the stairs to the roof.
|
|
SPIKE: This way!
|
|
Julia follows, turns and guns down another thug.
|
|
On the roof, Spike spots a thug on the roof of the neighboring building.
|
|
SPIKE: Get down!
|
|
Julia ducks. Spike kills the thug. Julia stands up. Another thug shoots
|
|
her a split-second before Spike kills him. Julia falls.
|
|
SPIKE: Julia!
|
|
Spike runs to Julia and holds her in his arms.
|
|
SPIKE: Hey!
|
|
Julia speaks her final words to Spike. Spike turns his head up, looking
|
|
deep into the rainy sky.
|
|
Laughing Bull's tent, somewhere on Mars.
|
|
JET: Where is Spike now?
|
|
BULL: All organisms... All beings with life all have their own stars. The
|
|
moment a new life is born a new star is born and becomes the guardian
|
|
star. This star we stand on is someone's guardian star as well. That
|
|
red star, that blue star... When a life ends, the star falls, and
|
|
disappears.
|
|
JET: Please don't say that.
|
|
BULL: Running Rock.
|
|
JET: Don't call me by such a name!
|
|
BULL: His star is about to fall.
|
|
JET: This is stupid. I can't believe it.
|
|
BULL: Do not fear death. Death is always at your side. When you show fear,
|
|
it will spring at you faster than light. If you do not show fear,
|
|
it will only gently look over you...
|
|
EYECATCH
|
|
Annie's store. A thug presents Julia's coat to Vicious.
|
|
THUG: Sir Vicious, I found this. The woman's passport is inside it as well.
|
|
Surely she cannot escape from this planet easily.
|
|
VICIOUS: A beast that has lost a place to go... He has nowhere to return to
|
|
now. He will come.
|
|
The Bebop. Jet awakes from a nap on the couch and sees Spike.
|
|
JET: Spike, you...
|
|
Spike smiles.
|
|
SPIKE: Do you have anything to eat? I'm starving. (compare to BRAIN SCRATCH w/Faye)
|
|
Jet serves up a plate of bell peppers.
|
|
SPIKE: The food you cook tastes horrible, as usual.
|
|
JET: For that, you sure are eating a lot.
|
|
SPIKE: Hunger is the best spice, they say.
|
|
Spike finishes the meal.
|
|
SPIKE: Do you know a story that goes like this? There once was a tiger-
|
|
striped cat. This cat died a million deaths and was reborn a million
|
|
times and was owned by various people who he didn't care for. The
|
|
cat wasn't afraid to die... One day, the cat was a free cat, a stray
|
|
cat. He met a white female cat, and the two cats spent their days
|
|
happily together. Years passed, and the white cat died of old age.
|
|
The tiger-striped cat cried a million times, and then died. It never
|
|
came back to life...
|
|
JET: That's a good story...
|
|
SPIKE: I hate that story. I hate cats.
|
|
JET: That's what I thought.
|
|
The two laugh for a good while. Spike gets up and begins to walk away.
|
|
JET: Spike. Can I ask you one thing?
|
|
Spike stops.
|
|
SPIKE: What?
|
|
JET: Is it for the woman?
|
|
SPIKE: There is nothing I can do for a dead woman.
|
|
Spike continues into the hallway. Faye points a gun at his head. (compare to scene w/Julia)
|
|
FAYE: Where are you going? Why are you going? You told me once... that the
|
|
past didn't matter... You're the one who's tied to their past!
|
|
Spike leans close to Faye and stares straight into her eyes.
|
|
SPIKE: Look at these eyes. One of them is a fake, because I lost it in an
|
|
accident. Since then, I have been seeing the past in one eye, and
|
|
the present in the other. I had believed that what I saw was not
|
|
all of reality...
|
|
FAYE: Don't tell me things like that... You never told me anything about
|
|
yourself! Don't tell me stuff like that now!
|
|
SPIKE: I thought I was watching a dream that I would never awaken from.
|
|
Before I knew it, the dream was all over.
|
|
Spike continues to walk away.
|
|
FAYE: My... memory came back.
|
|
Spike stops.
|
|
FAYE: But... nothing good came out of it. There was no place for me to
|
|
return to... This was the only place I could go back to! But now...
|
|
Where are you going?! Why do you have to go?! Are you telling me
|
|
you're going to just throw your life away?!
|
|
SPIKE: I'm not going there to die. I'm going there to see if I really am
|
|
alive.
|
|
Spike walks away. Faye fires all of her rounds into the air.
|
|
Mars. Red Dragon Headquarters. Spike enters and kills thugs left and right.
|
|
He rides the elevator as far as he could. Facing off against one thug, he
|
|
is shot in the gut. An elevator door opens and he spots Shin.
|
|
SPIKE: Shin! Where's Vicious?
|
|
SHIN: On the top floor. This way.
|
|
Shin leads him up. They turn a corner and Shin is shot by a thug.
|
|
SPIKE: Shin!
|
|
Spike kills the thug and goes to Shin.
|
|
SPIKE: Shin!
|
|
SHIN: Please defeat... Vicious... Actually... I wanted you to come back...
|
|
Shin dies.
|
|
Spike runs into the main chamber. He opens the door and the room explodes,
|
|
revealing the night sky. Vicious steps down from a large stairway.
|
|
VICIOUS: So you are finally awake. I told you before, Spike... that I am
|
|
the only one who can kill you.
|
|
SPIKE: I'll return those words back to you, Vicious.
|
|
VICIOUS: Eitherway, we were destined to end up like this.
|
|
Spike runs up the stairway and the two clash weapons. Vicious cuts Spike
|
|
twice and Spike shoots his katana out of his hand. Spike puts his hand on
|
|
the katana and Vicious puts his hand on the gun.
|
|
SPIKE: Julia passed away... Let's end it all.
|
|
VICIOUS: If that's your wish.
|
|
They exchange weapons. At the same time Spike shoots Vicious in the chest
|
|
and Vicious slashes Spike in the gut. Vicious falls. Blood spills from
|
|
Spike's gut. He looks up into the brightening and recalls. Julia's final
|
|
words.
|
|
JULIA: This is... a dream...
|
|
SPIKE: Yeah... Just a bad dream...
|
|
It is morning. Spike, clutching his bleeding gut, descends the stairway to
|
|
meets a legion of confused, baffled and surprised syndicate members. Spike
|
|
smiles and points his index finger at them. SPIKE: Bang...
|
|
Spike falls.
