I may be bad, but I always stick to my deals and I rarely ever lie. It's much more fun to tell the truth.
S3 E7Tunnels
If I may refer the commission? The claimant's statement, section three, paragraph 1-B of my procurement report.
Thank you. [curious] He is not from Fire...?
The claimant claims not to be, Adjudicator.
I don't understand.
The claimant also claims - to be dead. Section 7, paragraph 5-A.
Dead?
I assume that this process will inevitably lead to some sort of punishment? I request that you cut this process short, and throw me off the edge of the city.
Claimants are not permitted to request punishments at this stage. The claimant must wait until the final adjudication.
So, which direction do you wanna go then?
[catching his breath] I don't know. I want you to choose. That way when everything goes terribly awful, I get the satisfaction of blamin' you.
Thanks, Stan.
[Stan tries to slide past a man who grabs him by the arm and pulls him down.]
(Desperate) Don't go down there.
Err... Thanks for the advice. [shouts] Xev...?
Don't go down there!
Why?
They'll hurt you. They always do!
Procurer, this man that you procured from the desert claims in your procurement report that he has been an assassin. Is that correct?
That is correct, Adjudicatrix.
Once again - I request that you throw me from the edge of the city!
Claimant. You will not progress your claim until you respect the rules and procedures by which this adjudication commission adjudicates its claims.
[louder] I withdraw ALL claims. And request that this 'commission' throw me from the edge of the city!
Claimant. Have you ever suffered torture? Degradation? Or other evil on this planet?
Yes, from this commission!
Default! Rule one, accusations against the commission are not recordable.
Claimant? Have you, in fact, ever assassinated anyone?
[breathless] I... have killed mothers with their babies... I have killed great philosophers, and proud young warriors... I have killed... the evil! And the good! The intelligent! The weak... and the beautiful. But it's been a while since I slayed a whole room full of petty bureaucrats! [begins to sing 'Yo Way Yo']
The claimant will answer the Adjudicatrix's question! Those who do not comply with the commission are subject to standard punishment number one!
What is that?
Number one is to be thrown off the edge of the city, to their death.
I request standard punishment number one!
Claimants are not allowed to request specific punishments. This commission has the sole right to adjudicate the claimant's claim.
Look.. here! At my arm... Procurer, come... Come here. I think it will answer your questions.
[the procurer approaches]
Feel... along the muscle.
What has this to do with the Adjudicators' question?
Are you afraid? I do not even have the strength to raise my arm!
[the procurer kneels and feels Kai's wrist through his sleeve]
A little higher... A little higher.
notices something] What's that?
Squeeze it.
I do not know if it is permitted. [to Adjudicators] Is it permitted?
[they nod, the procurer squeezes Kai's brace and it zooms out, clutching the Adjudicator's neck]
At least the fall fixed THAT part of me.
[struggling] What do you want?
I REQUEST that you throw me OFF the EDGE of the CITY!
This adjudication commission hereby grants the claimant standard punishment number one. [the commission starts stamping papers]
I'm a doctor. You can trust me!
[approaches with knife] I'm going to make you better.
You don't have to make me better, I feel just fine! I feel perfectly, perfectly, perfectly, perfectly alright...!
No... no... no... no... no... no no... no... You have parts on you which you should feel MUCH better off without!
[high] What parts?
Bad parts. Dirty parts. Parts I'm going to cut away!
The people who are condemned to live down here do not have their own city, because they are the bad of the bad. They are the sick, and the truly evil. They kill for the sheer pleasure they exact from the act of killing. Up until now, they only had each other to hunt down, but that was until you came along and made things more interesting.
Well it's absolutely not interesting for me. Not at all.
No way is safe in the tunnels.
Nowhere is safe on the planet Fire.
I must procure this balloon from you.
But it is not permitted.
Perhaps not. But I have been realigned.
[Procurer starts to hum "Yo A-O"]
