Ed quotes from Cowboy Bebop

Duty calls, THREE O'CLOCK TEA!

August 6 - sky day! Today, Ed goes looking for the spooky mysterious horrible alien. Lesson, lesson... if you see a stranger, follow him.

I think I know, I don't think I know. I don't think I think I know. I don't think I think. Ahh!

Ed will introduce Ed's full name - Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV.

Spike

That's a long name.

Faye

Who the hell's this?

Ed made up that name for Ed, isn't it cool?

Spike

If you made it up, how can you be the 4th?

Faye

So what is it? [hears Ein barking] Ein, give it a rest, would ya?

Spike

Well, this is not an ordinary rat. [Ein keeps barking] Huh? Ein, keep it quiet!

Faye

So what could it be, then?!

Spike

Well, it's a—

A mystery space creature! [Spike and Faye gasp; she runs upstairs] Spooky! The attack of the horrible alien!

Spike

Well, yeah... That is possible, I suppose. [scoffs] Oh yeah, right. [Ed suddenly jumps down next to Spike]

Then what is it? It's not in the database, right?

Spike

Well, uh— [Ed points]

Look! These pairs are abnormal.

Spike

Uhh, you think so?

Ed has never seen this before. [Spike grumbles] So what else could it be but a horrible alien, huh? What?

Spike

Maybe it's... something like a rat went through a mutation and it evolved... and turned into some kind of unusual creature, and secreted this new form of mysterious poison.

Faye

Oh, that's brilliant. Right out there with Ed's theory that it's a horrible alien! Really pitiful.

You came back!

Jet

Hm? I'm leaving again. And don't stay there, you're in the way. [Ed drops from the hook, somersaults and lands down on her feet, Ein comes by]

Bring Edward some souvenirs this time. [Ein barks]

Jet

Edward... if I don't come back, water the bonsai for me, okay?

All right! [starts dancing] Bonsai, bok choy, wise guy, water boy! Lights shine bright in the old town tonight!

Faye

[arguing over empty rations] We haven't had anything to eat in two days! Wouldn't you call that an emergency?!

Spike

I want some bell peppers and beef...

Jet

We're out of fuel, end of story. If we can just hold out a little longer, our inertia will carry us to Europa.

Stomach's caving in!

Faye

If we only we could use that energy to fuel ourselves...

Jet

Keep mouthing off like that and I'll toss you out into absolute zero.

Spike

At this point, even Ein looks good enough to eat.

Faye

Watch it, Spike. I bet you're looking pretty good to him too.

[confronts Domino, Ed and Ein] Hey! Hah! Now don't tell me that you forgotten who I am so soon, [snaps fingers] Domino!

Let's see...

Think, dammit! I'm the youngest Shaft brother! We bought all those mushrooms from you!

Hm... I don't remember you.

No? Do you wanna know why I drag an empty coffin like this wherever I go, huh? Heh-heh... I'll tell you. 'Cause I'm puttin' your corpse inside it!

...Pieces, pieces, all gone.

What's what with who? [Shaft is doing an angry expression]

My older brother ate a mushroom that he bought from you and then, he laughed until he twisted his intestines to death!

Happy way to die, I'd say. [Ed starts laughing]

Shut up! The whole thing was your fault!

I call that unjust resentment.

Edward is hungry! [Ein barks, Shaft pulls out a grenade launcher]

Yeah?! Then eat this, fool!

Spike

What's wrong?

Jet

The size...

Spike

What about it?

Jet

It won't go in. [tries forcing tape in]

Spike

Push harder.

Jet

But it's... [Ed comes behind them]

Aah, that's the wrong one!

Huh?

You got a VHS.

Huh?

It won't play beta.

Huh?!

[strolling about] Faye-Faye! Smoke-smoke, Faye-Faye! Puff-puff, Faye-Faye! [Faye comes out the bathroom]

Faye

My name's Faye, not "Faye-Faye". You just say it once, okay? [Ed comes to Faye with her computer on her head]

Faye-Faye! Some weird mail came-came for Bebop-Bebop!

Faye

[sighs] I would've been able to pay it off if I had just a little more time. Would you hold still? [holds Ed's head, reads mail on computer] Hmm... "Hello, boy. You are invited to a wonderful party"? Wait a minute... this is... All right, don't tell Spike about this. It's a secret, okay?

But why? Faye-Faye, why keep it a secret?

Faye

If we don't, that lunkhead—

Spike

Will run right out to the party? [Faye sees bandaged Spike behind her]

It's secret mail-mail from Mars. [Spike reads mail; Faye leans down on a wall]

Spike

It's Space Land. Nice place to hold a party, don't you think?

Faye

Yeah, you're gonna go like that? It's uh, perfect for a masquerade, isn't it? [Spike looks at his left hand for a moment]

Spike

Maybe this is the one, the one I won't come back from. The end. [Faye is worried] Just playin' with your head. Would you rescue me if it were true? [Faye pauses for a beat]

Faye

..Lunkhead.

[waving about] Lunkhead-lunkhead-lunkhead! [laughing]

Spike

What're you up to?

Faye

Take a look over there. Jet's got a friend.

Spike

Hm? [sees Meifa and Jet in the main room] Ohh...

Faye

It's a fine romance.

Spike

She's too young for that.

[starts crawling and singing] Hot-dog bun, not too young!

Faye

Maybe she's got a thing?

Spike

Nah, 'fraid she's too old.

[crawling back] Oldy, moldy, history, mystery!

Jet

It was all a kid's dream. I guess, all he could do was dream so the dreams turned dark.

And this time, I hope you have sweet dreams.

Dr. Londes

The souls that God has given us, our spirits. Our spirits, which found a way to swim through the immense network and live in the infinity of space. Is not the human body a mere shell, a form of existence all too small and weak for consciousness with such vast reach and potential?
