Session #20
A Clown's Requiem
Pierrot le Fou
(On a dark street)
Clown: Hello, gentlemen! I've come for your lives.
title: Dougeshi no Requiem, "Pierrot le Fou"
(Spike steps out of the pool bar and into the middle of the clown's killing spree)
Clown: (seeing Spike)Hello, boy.
(The clown goes after Spike, who barely escapes after getting seriously beat up)
(On a building rooftop)
Man: Your partner really gets himeself into messes, doesn't he, Jet?
Jet: Huh? No, he never used to before...
Man: This one case is bad. I wouldn't touch it if I were you.
Jet: Just answer the question.
Man: I'm saying this for your sake. Plus, if you get too involved in this matter, it'll be bad for this side too.
Jet: I see. But you're the only one I can ask about this. I won't cause trouble for you, so...
Man: You say the same thing every time. Since way back, you were always a man who loved trouble. Alright, listen good. It's only a rumor, but have you heard of the name, "Mad Pierrot"?
(In the living space of Bebop)
Faye: There he is, the rumored mummy man. Heard you were beaten up by some crazy old man.
Spike: ...Wanna eat...orange......
Faye: (picks up orange, starts peeling it> You slept like that all bandaged up that one time before too. You have no balls whatsoever. But then again, it's none of my business.
Spike: (mumbling)
Faye: (while eating orange) And isn't it because of your line of work that you keep ending up like this? But then again, it's none of my business.
Spike: (mumbling)...how....mean.....
Faye: (places orange peels on Spike's head) So since that's the case, it's none of my business and I'll excuse myself now. Take care
(On top of a building rooftop)
Man: Those who were killed were top people from ISSP. This was the seventh.
Jet: What?!
Man: It's not surprising you don't know. It's top secret. It seems as if the people at the top really don't want the world to know about this matter.
Jet: Why not?
Man: That partner of yours is in deep trouble. He's a perfect killing machine. Up until now, there has never been anyone who's seen him and lived to tell it. Occasionally, there'll be people who escape the actual crime scene, but he'll follow them anywhere and kill them too. It seems he shows up with a smile, and leaves with a smile. Yes, he is the one called Mad Pierrot, the phantom killer, "Tonpu".
(CM break)
(On Bebop)
Edo: Faye Faye! Supa Supa (translator's note: Edo's nickname for Spike when romanized sounds like "supa supa", the first two katakana of Spike. Or you could intepret it as Super Super Faye, but I kind of doubt it....^_^;;) Faye Faye!! Supa Supa Faye Faye!!
Faye: (coming out of the toilet) Hey! Would you quit that "Faye Faye" thing?
Edo: Faye Faye! A weird email came came! Ne ne ne ne!!
Faye: Dammit, it was just about to come out too. (Grabs dancing Edo's shoulders to hold her still)How can I read it with you like that? Hm? "Hello boy. I would like to invite you to a wonderful party." Wait, is this...? Listen, we're keeping this email a secret from Spike, okay?
Edo: Secret? Why? Why a secret?
Faye: If we don't that idiot will...
Spike: ...Run out of here?
Edo: It's a secret secret mail!
Spike: Mm? Spaceland? I bet that's the party grounds I heard about yesterday.
Faye: You plan on going like that? But I guess that's perfect if it's a costume party.
Spike: If I happened to say, "This time it may be all over for me,"...would you come and save me?
Faye: Baka. (translator note: baka=idiot, stupid, etc. Kept in Japanese to further appreciate Edo's line.)
Edo: Baka baka baka!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!
(Swordfish II takes off from Bebop)
(Computer in living space beeps)
Jet: Mm? Hey! Is that Edo? Where's Spike?
Edo: He went somewhere.
Jet: What?! But then it's not the first time he's done that, that idiot.
Edo: Baka baka?
Jet: Edo, I have a favor to ask.
Edo: Nani nani? (What? What?)
(Spike lands in Spaceland)
Tonpu: Hello! Welcome!
Spike: Yo.
Tonpu: Let's party!
(Gunfight ensues, Spike goes for cover into a building)
Angel hologram: You mustn't enter here! It's dangerous here! Let's play outside! Let's play outside! Let's play outside! Let's play outside! Let's play outside!
Spike: Shut up!
(Inside Edo's computer)
Jet: Okay, Edo? First get into ISSP's main computer and look for section 13.
Edo: Aye aye!
Jet: He's in a section that practically doesn't exist. It'll be extremely difficult. Can you do it?
Edo: Aye!
(Flash to action at Spaceland)
Edo: Found it!
Jet: After you open that, look for a file with the code name "Tonpu".
Edo: Aye!
(Flash to action at Spaceland)
Edo: Inai inai burn!
(File flashback)
Narrator: ISSP experiment to improve assassin ability. Subject number 46. Code name "Tonpu". During the experiment, it was confirmed that a part of subject's mind was psychologically reverting back in time. Experiment terminated. Subject assigned life imprisonment.
Jet: At first, it was probably for revenge that he escaped from prison, but now, he may just be enjoying himself as a killer. His mind should still be reverting back even now. So he's a child with the superman-like combat ability? Man, there's nothing as simple and cruel as a kid.
(At Spaceland)
Tonpu: It's showtime!
Spike: (seeing Faye's ship fly by)She didn't have to come!
(Faye's ship goes down)
Doll: (walking over to Faye's ship where Faye is still on her back inside)Hallo! Hallo! Hallo! Hallo!
Faye: (raising one hand in greeting) Hallo.
(Spike and Tonpu face off on opposite sides of a street. The look in Spike's eye sets Tonpu off guard. Spike takes advantage of that instant and throws his knife.)
Tonpu: (rolling around on the ground) It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Mama! It hurts! Mama! It hurts! Mama!!
(A parade comes down the street. Tonpu, who is directly in their path, is still writhing in pain.)
(*squish*)
(Spike's celphone rings)
Jet: Spike? Are you there? We know who he is! He's--
Spike: No, nevermind. It's all over.
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY...
