Proof One Should Pay Attention



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!
