Morris Fletcher?

MFMorris Fletcher

(perks up a little) Finally. What took you so long? You must be Reyes. Enchanté.

(rolls eyes) Yeah.

(referencing making a deal) The one that saves my furry pink ass. People are tryin' to kill me. Did you hear about my boat?

Yeah - Your female companion told us what she witnessed.

My fem... Oh, you mean they didn't kill.. (tries to think of her name)

Brittany? Brittney?

Brittany. Oh.. Oh, thank God she's still alive.

Agents, I'm tellin' ya, you don't want these three involved. I mean, they don't even have their ridiculous tinker toy gizmos. This place is like "How The Grinch Stole Radio Shack."

"Area 51 Exposé!" Ooo! (sarcastic) Where's your new issue? This one's a year old.

Back off, Skeezick.

(looking at Langly's t-shirt) So, who's Joey?

What? (Morris motions again at Langly's shirt) Joey Ramone? Leader of the greatest punk rock band in human history - Now shut up! (notices Morris looking at him closely) ..What?!

(sigh) What are you, 34, 35? Why don't you cut your hair and grow up, huh?

I need to remind you, Fletcher, that Doggett and Reyes aren't here to save you.

Get yourself a real hero, anyway - Not some dead teeny bopper.

(slams keyboard down and stands up, angry) You want to know why Joey Ramone's my hero? 'Cause people like you never managed to grind him down. They never stole his spirit. He never gave in, never gave up, and never sold out. Right till his last breath.. And he's not dead - Guys like that? They live forever.

(patting Jimmy Bond; sarcastically) Cheer up, Gomer - You're bringin' the whole room down.

(sighs) So, you're too broke to publish, huh? Pencil neck told me.. It's a shame. This little rag always was such a hoot. I'm gonna miss it. But, hey, the world spins on, right? Maybe saving it is a younger man's game. Or a woman's. (motioning to Yves)

(considers) Maybe it is.. (turns to Byers) You gotta admit, Byers. It hasn't exactly been our year. And to top it all off, we screwed the pooch pretty good today. Maybe we should pack it in.

And do what instead? We never gave up. We never will. In the end, if that's the best they can say about us... it'll do.

GProfessor Gillnitz

(grinning triumphantly, checking his watch) Now you have a minute forty.

[The three Gunmen stand still for a second, thinking. Frohike notices a fire alarm, turns to the others, and signals his intention.]

Guys?

[Langly and Byers look at the fire alarm, then at each other. They both agree.]

Whatever it takes.
