Red: All right. I'm suitably impressed.
Lute sneaks Locke's glass and starts sipping.
Red: How much is this going to run?
Locke: That's going to depend on what I'm hauling.
Red: Just us, a pair of Mecs, to Devin.
Umaro: Ebin?
Locke: If you want your fortune told, Umaro could do it for half the price and twice the accuracy.
Red: shakes his head We need to get there as quickly as possible.
Locke: That can be done.
Red: WITHOUT run-ins with Trinity.
Lute: No nono... Trin'ty be bad.
Locke: Are you political refugees or something?
Red: And no questions asked.
Locke: Hmmm. Well, the Esperwilde is definitely your ship...
Lute: Oscar Wilde?
Umaro: Enuff!
Locke: but all these extras are going to cost you. Ten thousand credits.
Lute: spitting out his stolen drink, instantly sober TEN THOUSAND!!?!?
Red winces.
Lute: Can't you give him a senior citizen discount?
Red: Don't MAKE me hurt you!
Locke: In advance, if you don't mind.
Lute: Forget it! We could buy this bar and fortify it for less!
Locke: Against the Trinity army? You're insane.
Red: How about we give you two thousand now.... and fifteen once we hit Devin?
CG of dollar signs flip in Locke's eyes. sound effect - CHA-CHING!
Locke: I think that will do! You can find us in Docking Bay 94 over at the secondary strip. We'll leave when you're ready.
Lute: SEVENTEEN THOUSAND!!?!?
Red: Excellent. We have a deal, then?
Locke: Darn right!
Lute: grabbing Red No, look at me! SEVENTEEN!
Red: hissingShout it for the rest of the bar to hear, why don't you?
Umaro: Zdat Drindy auffer dare? points
Locke: You guys might want to head out and get ready... looks like you got friends in the wrong places.
Scene: Pan over across the bar, to where a small group of Trinity soldiers are looking over the dissected body of Slime and interviewing the surrounding patrons.
Red: grabs Lute by the lapels We're gone. Docking bay 94!
Lute: Whoah!
Red quickly drags Lute out through a side door, trampling several other shady characters also trying to get out.
Locke: Seven - frickin' - teen! They've got to be the biggest pair of suckers we've dealt with!
Umaro: Urwee ore.
Locke: nods Or we are! Go get the Esperwilde ready.
Umaro: Murghee. downs his glass and exits.
Locke: Now where's my... grabs his empty glass drink...
Scene: Outside the Sub-Cellar. Red, Lute and the Mecs hurriedly make their way through the back alleys.
Lute: trying to keep up Where the heck are we going to get seventeen thousand credits!?
Red: Who said anything about seventeen thousand credits?
Lute: YOU did! Back there!
Red: I said two thousand now, and fifteen when we get to Devin.
Lute: That's seventeen thousand!
Red: No. That's Two Thousand and Fifteen.
PzkwV stops and breaks up laughing.
Lute: laughs If we survive this trip, I'm buying you a drink.
Red: All right, but none for you!
