*BIG SHOT*
("American Money" plays)
Punch: Howdy Ho there, Cowboys! Have we got some news for you!
Judy: Oooh! What is it Punch!
Punch: It seems that the bounty for young Harrison Begeron has shot up (fire gun in air) to A WHOPPING 200 MILLION WULONGS!
Judy: Yee Ha! Only an idiot wouldn't be going after this young bounty.
Punch: Now, now Judy. Remember that you shouldn't judge a horse before riding it.
Judy: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Punch: Ah who cares huh? Go get him, Amigos!
Judy: Were you trying to freak me out or something?
End of "Big Shot"
On the Bebop, Jet woke up from his nap to the sudden sound of the door slamming open. An angry Spike and Faye, followed by happy-go-lucky Ed came in.
"What happened to the bounty?" Jet asked.
"Got chased away by some stupid government people," Faye said.
"Watch it, Faye. We're wired," Spike quoted.
"Well I'm giving up. Nobody appreciates what I had to go through to get this bounty and we still haven't caught him.
"Faye's right," Jet said Spike. "Maybe you should both give up on this bounty."
"What?! No way! Do you have any idea how much hair I had to loose just to get some of that bounty?!" Spike said in protest. "I'm gonna make it worth my while."
"That lady told us to butt out, Spike," said Faye.
"Well, if that lady wanted us to butt out, she shouldn't have put a bounty on him. Ed, try to track down that kid. We're gonna try again until I can pay off the damages to this!" Spike was yanking his shortened once beautiful hair. He was damn pissed.
Ed found Harrison located somewhere along the Old California Coastline. Spike and Faye quickly flew there. Seems Faye needs the bounty to pay off the damages to her hair too! Hahaha. The Swordfish and Redtail scanned the entire coast. Until they found him. Harrison was standing on a rock formation looking out towards the vast ocean. The beach was always abandoned these days. The two approached behind the silent Harrison with guns loaded. But Spike looked puzzled.
"Are you trying to make this easy for us, or are you waiting for something?" Spike asked the boy.
"I'm waiting for change to be at hand. I'm waiting for the Earth to be free of this so called "Utopia" that she has created." Harrison still had his back to them.
"You mean that weird lady?" asked Faye.
A sudden shadow appeared over them. It looked as if the sky was darkening, but it really turned out to be the appearance of a ship overhead. It landed along the beach not too far away from them. The door of the ship opened and out came the same guards that were chasing after Harrison before. Harrison took note of this and in a flash, he leapt into the ocean and began swimming away until he disappeared.
Then, the Ms. Glampers, the Handicap General appeared. She ran up with an angry, hostile look on her face toward Spike and Faye.
"How dare you! I thought I told you to beat it! Now he got away again!"
With that, she set off Spike and Faye's handicaps and they were both screaming in pain.
"Take them back to Headquarters!" growled the Handicap General at the guards.
Spike and Faye were dragged back to headquarters to be interrogated.
"If I didn't know any better," said the Handicap General to the two. "I'd say you are both acting as accomplices for Begeron. You've been seen with him too many times, and you have abused the use of your handicaps."
"Maybe if I had an idea why the hell you have all of these funky rules, we could get off your case," Spike said savoring his last cigarette in the interrogation chair. Miss Glampers came up to Spike and snatched the cigarette from his mouth and crushed it into the ground. Spike's sanity was declining.
"Mr. Speigel, are you aware that we cannot be born the way we want to. God created us in his own image, but that image is being damaged by the use of pathetic necessities such as makeup. And there are people out there who are taking disadvantage of the intellect they were born with and use it to suck in more intelligence. Before I came along, intelligence and beauty were major powers in the world, they brought pure injustice to those who cannot have their deserving share of that power because of how God has created them. I believe they were once called the mentally retarded. Weak intellects who were unbeautiful through the eyes of others. The lowest of people. It was the only way to bring equality to this world by bringing everyone down to the same level. The lowest level."
"That is the most stupidest thing, I have ever heard!" yelled Faye. "Making everyone ugly and stupid! You're insane, lady! I've had it with this." Faye decides to rip off her handicaps although it was a difficult process everyone in the interrogation room was shocked at what she was doing."
"You're breaking the law!"
"Won't be the first time."
"So," Ms. Glampers approaches Faye, "You think you're so superior because you're beautiful and smarter than everyone else. Well guess what? You don't look like it, and I'm not gonna let little whores like you take over this planet!"
What Ms. Glampers had just said to Faye was really hurting her inside, and Spike noticed it. Spike would kid around with Faye like that, but he never have gone to the point of using that term to insult her, not just yet. Now he was glad he hadn't. And what he was about to say next he knew before saying there would be regret…
"Enough of this crap! Faye is beautiful and she's not a whore! And whoever the hell this kid is, he's the only one that's making any sense on this damn Earth!"
Spike began to furiously strip off his own handicaps. All the while, Faye was thinking to herself 'Oh my god. Did he say what I think he said?'
"What are gonna do to us now? Send us to prison. Like I'm scared!"
The Handicap General leaned over to some guards in the room to whisper two words that Spike and Faye couldn't hear…
"Shoot them."
