Some People are Just Touchy

Scene: Back inside the Sub-Cellar...

Locke: That little... chuckling I suppose I can only blame myself.

As Locke begins to stand, a strange green-skinned troll-like creature, casually passing by, flings Locke back into his seat and takes the one opposite him.

Gozarus: Going somewhere, thief?

Locke: That's 'Treasure Hunter', dammit! Look, I'm in a hurry. Tell Dulla I have his credits coming!

Gozarus: It's too late for that, Cole. Now you'll be paying with slivers of your life!

Locke: But I have the money this time!

Gozarus: I'll make you a deal then.

Locke: I've heard that before.

Gozarus: Give me the money, and we go separate ways today.

Locke: What kind of fool would keep ten thousand credits on him? Tell Dulla -

Gozarus: Forget it. Dulla hasn't got time for 'treasure hunters' that go dipping into his shipments.

Locke: snarling That headless horseman isn't the only person I owe money. Have you heard about my alimony payments?

Gozarus: If you hadn't cheated on Rachel, you might not have that problem.

Locke: muttering I wouldn't be smuggling either, you greedy troll.

Gozarus: I'm tired of debating with you, thief. You're proving that you'll be worth more to me dead than alive. How much do you think the Han will pay me for-

Locke unloads his blaster into the hapless mystic.

Locke: THAT'S TREASURE HUNTER! TREASURE HUNTER!!
