S3-E6-HAIR AND NAILS
INT. HAIR AND NAILS - 5 - 1
LOCATION: GANDERS Office.
GANDER decides its time to actively hunt down the killers
of Doctor ELLINGTON using SLIM's skills. The only clues
that they have to go on is that ELLINGTON'S hair had been
cut just before the killing and a pair of hairdressers
scissors was found stabbed into her throat. Strangely all
of her nails except one exquisitely painted with French
polish, had been extracted under duress. They dub the
killers the Cutter and the Manicurist.
GANDER
SLIM do you want a Whisky?
SLIM
Sure, GANDER thank you do you have
some Jack Daniels?
GANDER
Sorry no, I have run out. Anyway
you know how I feel about that
Lynchburg moonshine. I only have
Scottish whisky, the real whisky.
SLIM
Well, as I've told you many times
before, your stubborn Russian
prejudices are causing you to miss
out on some fine liquor.
GANDER
Be that as it may, I carry only
whisky of the original kind, now
do you want a drink?
SLIM
Well I suppose so, I'll have the
Tullibardine on the rocks.
GANDER
Obscure and expensive!
SLIM
Like my personality. Now you
offering me a drink or ain't yah!
GANDER
(Laughter) Hold on to your hat
cowboy! Don't get your chaps in a
flap. (Pause)
ICE WHISKY GLASS
BEING POURED
GANDER
SLIM tell me how are your
investigations going into the
hunter killers of poor Doctor
Ellington and our two detectives?
SLIM
Well I'm glad you asked because
that's a very interesting case.
Poor Doctor Ellington was
obviously killed by a professional
the site has been cleaned after
the dastardly act. A random
revenge killer would probably not
do that. This was clinical. We
obviously looked at the
fingerprints, that was a dead end,
we did DNA and that was a dead end
too. The only thing of any note
was when we were looking at the
hair for toxicology in case of
drug use etc. We found that some
hair had been trimmed.
GANDER
What you mean cut?
SLIM
Yes and cut professionally. I had
MAURICE look at the images, the
lines were clean.
GANDER
Perhaps she had been to the
hairdressers just prior to the
event?
SLIM
No I looked at her roster, no time
off at all the previous week.
MAURICE said that it was strange
only half the head had been
groomed and cut.
GANDER
Cut by what? A knife.
SLIM
Oh no, this was a clean cut by
hairdressers scissors. They were
sharp too, the cuts were fresh and
clean.
GANDER
You mean the killer stopped and
tidied up the hair?
SLIM
That's about it. Weird ain't it?
GANDER
Yes, but its a pattern and that
makes the killer venerable. Do we
have a sample of the cut hair?
SLIM
Yes of course.
GANDER
Well I think you need to get it
over to PINKY.
SLIM
What you mean the creep that we
blackmailed with those photos?
GANDER
Yes, that creep. He just happens
to run one of the best labs in the
Bencubbin and he has an electron
microscope and a spectrometer.
SLIM
Well OK if you say. I always feel
dirty after meeting him, it's
(pause) like gutting a rotten
fish.
GANDER
Well you did whip him into shape
last time, so perhaps its good to
remind him that we are watching.
WHISKY WITH ICE
SLIM
Sure! (Pause and sip of whisky) I
think we should engage said
detectives to assist in the case.
Not in a total front line capacity
but I have a general enquiry task.
Ghost might also be useful for
surveillance duties.
GANDER
What ever you think SLIM, we need
to get to the killer or killers
before they get to us. GHOST is
getting a little stuck behind the
bar, a change will be good for
her.
This hunter killer team represents
a general existential risk to our
operations, so you do what ever it
takes to neutralise them.
SLIM
OK if I hire a hotel room with
line of sight to Police HQ and set
up camera's, might be for a couple
of days perhaps a week.
GANDER
Yes, but don't go bat shit crazy
on the big spending, and if you
going to drink take the booze
along with you, don't raid the
mini bar, have you seen the
prices. (Shudder) Low key OK.
Clear large items with me.
SLIM
OK. Look don't worry, I used to
work for the government. They
were even tighter than you! I'll
go and appraise MAURICE of the
hair situation and T him up for
possible interpretation of any
results.
GANDER
(Laughter) Going into the DRAG DMZ
SLIM you be careful.
INT. DANGER ZONE -5 - 1.1
LOCATION: DRAG Queens Dressing Room 1.
SLIM enters the DRAG queens dressing room to discover
that MAURICE is out, but he gets cornered by the DRAG
artists. MAURICE Arrives in the nick of time. SLIM
request MAURICE's assistance in the case of the
"Manicurist and the Cutter"
KNOCKING SOUND
SLIM
Girl's, hello anyone home, hello.
SILENCE
SLIM
Jesus SLIM man up. What are you a
man or a mouse.(Mumbling to
himself) Come on easy does it,
there just a bunch of old DRAG
queens, not desert snakes. (Pause)
Hello, girls, I'm coming in!
DOOR
SLIM
(Release of breath) Phew! The
coast is clear. No one home!
MAURICE, hello, you there.
Walks through changing room to MAURICES office and
knocks. No answer.
DOOR KNOCKING SOUND
SLIM
Shit, that's blown it. He is
always in his lair. Now where
would he be?
Turns around and goes to exit but CANDY enters changing
room carrying a wig.
CANDY
Ohhh, Cowboy man! The one with the
chaps. What are you doing,
sneaking around in a girls
changing room. Were you looking
for me?
SLIM
Ah, ah Ms CANDY, I was looking
for, MAURICE.
CANDY
You sure about that. I didn't know
you liked to swing both ways I
thought you were pure solid beefy
hetro? I did hear some rumour
that you were married to old
MAURICE, so perhaps your not so
hetro after all. Ohhh, you smell
so good, so manly. (Pause) You
sure you weren't sniffing around
these leather clothes looking for
me, I didn't take you for the
purvy kind but you never know
nowadays.
SLIM
Ahhh, quite sure I was not
sniffing around.
The only leather that touches me
young lady is a saddle. Now where
is MAURICE?
CANDY
Well, what about those lovely
chaps you wore last time just for
me, they were leather and their
not a saddle?
SLIM
I had just come back from riding.
CANDY
That's what they all say!
SLIM
You need to learn some manners
young lady, you have sewerage
mouth!
CANDY
Sewerage mouth! How dare you!
RITA, RITA Come quickly I found a
man sniffing around in your
knickers.
DOOR SLAMS OPEN
RITA
A knicker perv! Where, let me at
him! (Pause) CANDY he is not one
of those Orientals, I thought that
party had gone last week? (Pause)
Stand-aside I want to see his
purvy little face, let me at him.
Ohhh! (Surprise) Cowboy man is
that you. So, you came back to
rescue me?
CANDY
Gurl, this ain't no rescue
situation, it's just normal
operations. Strangers are always
in your knickers.
RITA
You potty mouth bitch, my knickers
are like a temple, they are
sacrosanct. Unlike yours, which
are always falling down. There
like an elevator, up then down, up
then down.
SLIM
Girls, girls please. I am not
interested in your knickers up or
down. (Slightly desperate voice)
RITA
What's the matter with my
knickers, they ain't good enough
for you! Your not a homophobe are
you?
SLIM
No, you're misconstruing my words.
Nothing, nothing is the matter
with your knickers. Look girls if
you don't back off I will be
forced to get physical, with my
whip, I don't want to hurt you.
CANDY
Ohh a whip. Now this is getting
exciting, some whip-eddy whop
perdy, do action. Ohhhh! Whip me
first cowboy man, whip me good.
I'm a naughty girl. I always need
a good whipping.
SLIM
Oh sweet Jesus, help me!
BOAT HORN
MAURICE
SLIM what are you doing in the
girls changing rooms?
SLIM
OH thank god MAURICE. In the nick
of time. I was looking for you,
believe it or not.
MAURICE
Girls back off, leave the man
alone. SLIM come through to my
office. CANDY I'm going to speak
to you after I have finished with
SLIM. Don't go anywhere your
mouth is a real problem.
CANDY
Speak all you want, I saw him
first. You always steal my man.
Just because you two are friends
with benefits now.
OFFICE DOOR
Stands with back to the door.
MAURICE
That's a ballsy move SLIM they
nearly got you cornered.
(Laughter)
SLIM
I was starting to get a sweat on
the back of my neck. You know I
think I would rather face the
medusa herself than those two.
MAURICE
I thought you might fair a little
better. I had heard that you had
a colourful past as a 'government
cleaner'.
SLIM
I did, but this situation doesn't
need a cleaner, as much as a
vermin eradication squad or a
nuclear radiation decontamination
outfit.
MAURICE
Well, that's about right my
friend. My advice is never come
in alone or unarmed. I recommend
phasers set to kill not stun.
SLIM
I was thinking of a gun with
silver bullets or a couple of
wooden stakes.
MAURICE
Yes, that might be effective.
(Laughter - Pause) So how can I
help, I trust you really weren't
looking for knickers?
SLIM
Never, well there was one occasion
but I don't speak about that!
It's this ELLINGTON case, several
aspects of the killings are very
unusual as you know. I'm
following up on your comment on
the hair cutting aspects. It's god
am strange. I think the killers
may operate as a team rather than
a single person. Perhaps one on
the nail side and the other on the
hair side. I'm thinking there
would not be enough time for a
single person to do both. So as
you identified the main clues I
just wanted to keep you in the
loop. I'm taking the hair sample
across to PINKY to get some
electron micrographs and some
spectroscopic analysis done.
I just wanted to keep you in the
loop and to possibly elicit your
help in understanding any results.
MAURICE
Oh, that little creep PINKY, I
suppose he does have his uses.
SLIM
Oh!
MAURICE
Yes I buy some hair products
through his lab, I get a discount.
I always have to wash my hands
after dealing with him.
SLIM
Yeah, I have the same issue.
MAURICE
So, thanks for letting me know
SLIM appreciate that. It does
sounds interesting. When will
these results be available?
SLIM
Tomorrow I believe.
MAURICE
OK, I will be around, call through
I'll meet you in the small bar
next time. Its easier for
everyone. I'll have to go and calm
them down now, you really
shouldn't have mentioned the whip.
INT. AGENCY - 5 - 1.2
LOCATION: Angel and May's Office.
SLIM visits ANGEL and MAY's office and has a chat to
SOPHIE. He approaches ALEX and SHARROW on a paid
investigation, but in a analysis capacity only as they
are the targets for the killers.
DOOR
SOPHIE
Oh, hi SLIM, how are you going? We
don't often see you about these
parts.
SLIM
Well, young lady I wish I could
see your lovely smiling face more
often!
I've come here seeking those two
detectives. Are they in?
SOPHIE
Oh, bad timing SLIM, they just
stepped out for milk.
SLIM
Really, has some poor milk cow
gone missing?
SOPHIE
Oh no, you silly, no of course not
we just ran out and they went to
the shop. We need some for the
coffee, that pot gets used all the
time. They call it detective
juice. I think they also wanted
some fresh air and to stretch
their legs.
SLIM
Fresh air in a space habitat, it's
an interesting concept!
SOPHIE
Yes well I think they are like
cadged animals really, they just
need to be let out occasionally.
To be honest we are all getting a
little bored around here, not much
business at the moment.
SLIM
Well, I bring good news then,
because I have a good solid case!
SOPHIE
Oh, how exciting, does it involve
cattle rustling and gold miners
and that sort of thing? I've seen
those old cowboy movies! Riding
animals across the plains.
SLIM
You mean horses!
SOPHIE
Yes those poor animals, they look
so exhausted running around all
the time.
SLIM
Well, they don't run all the time,
in fact only very occasionally,
its just that in the movies they
do that to make it more exciting.
Most of the time they just move
slowly eating grass.
SOPHIE
How strange!
SLIM
Well, I have one.
SOPHIE
Really, what in New London! How
would it fly in a space ship? I
don't think they would like zero
Gees.
SLIM
It was brought here as an embryo
and then birthed.
SOPHIE
Where do you keep it? Under the
inn.
SLIM
No of course not, its in the
Dirksen on a farm. It chomps its
way through green grass and has a
luxury life.
SOPHIE
Oh, can I meet it, how smart are
they?
SLIM
Oh very smart, and if he likes
you, he will let you sit on his
back.
SOPHIE
Wow, ow I want to go so bad!
SLIM
Well, consider it done young lady
as soon as this case is over.
SOPHIE
SLIM you were born in the wrong
era you should have been a movie
star.
SLIM
Yeah I know, I get real nostalgic
sometimes, I was definitely born
150 years to late.
You know they say a cowboy's hands
are as strong as steel and as
tough as leather but soft enough
to touch a hummingbirds wing and
the skin of a woman and not
disturb the beauty of either.
That's what you need to master the
horse.
SOPHIE
Ohh, how romantic, I think I'm
getting teary.
SLIM
Well there young lady don't go
getting too emotional on me,
because this is the new wild west.
I'm right where I need to
be.(Pause) So thinking about
things I suppose I am forming a
posse of sorts. I am hunting the
hairdresser killers, we call them
the cutter and the manicurist.
Wanted dead or alive! I can see
the poster.
SOPHIE
Oh it so exciting, I can't wait,
will there be a reward. (Pause)
What did you say, hairdresser
killers! Your kidding right.
SLIM
I most certainly am not, young
lady, you be careful too, because
I think they are closing in for
the kill. Problem is we don't know
what they look like we think they
are female from the hospital
receptionist, but they may be
masters of disguise. We really
have no idea.
SOPHIE
Oh, well who do you think they are
hunting?
SLIM
Oh that's the easy part. It's
none other than our two detectives
here.
SOPHIE
Ohhh, should we lock down the
agency.
SLIM
That might be the case. That's
why you have to be real careful!
SOPHIE
Well I think you should wait a
second then, I've just datavised
and they are heading back to the
ranch, as fast as their horses can
carry them. (Giggle). Oh I'm
going all western on you.
SLIM
Well, thats a mighty good thing,
young lady!
SOPHIE
Help yourself to the coffee over
yonder on the homestead stove.
(Giggle)
SLIM
Well thanking you. (Pause) It's
not cowboy coffee is it. That'll
rot your gut.
SOPHIE
Oh, no its real from Columbia.
SLIM
Thank goodness, well then I might
just partake, thank-in you kindly.
COFFEE SOUNDS
SLIM
So word about town is that you and
MISS SHARROW are good friends
possibly sharing a hitching post?
SOPHIE
(Giggle) That's one word for it.
SLIM
Well, I'm pleased for both of you,
she's a mighty fine young lady
with a good heart, even if it is
over a hundred. (Cough) Now
where's that molasses for my
coffee?
SOPHIE
Oh, it should be by the pot. Oh
its not there. It's that MISS
LUCY ANGEL again, she always
leaves it in the wrong place and
never follows the rules. She is so
naughty.
SLIM
Yep, she's a wild Calamity Jane
for sure. Kind of good with a gun
though. Mighty useful skill at
times.
DOOR
SOPHIE
(Giggle) You don't know half of
it. Oh, look here they are?
SLIM
Well good morning to you ladies!
SHARROW
Why hello SLIM, so to what do we
owe the pleasure?
SLIM
I have a case of evil killers on
the loose and I am needing of some
of you fine expertise.
ALEX
We really don't know much about
horse rustling SLIM.
SLIM
Ho, Ho you are such a wag Ms
ANGEL! Oh this case its not about
horses. Its about the hunters and
the hunted. There are two evil
cold hearted killers on the loose.
These killers have no soul and
would not hesitate to string up a
child and cut their hearts out.
In fact they killed poor DR
ELLINGTON.
ALEX
I think I see where this is going.
SLIM
Yes and these two evil monsters
are hunting for you.
SHARROW
Ohh!
SLIM
Yep, I'm not kidding you. We
think they may be closing in.
They have some (Pause)
unconventional methods. We call
them the cutter and the
manicurist.
ALEX
Oh that's precious. (Laughter) The
pedicure killers. (Laugh) The
cuticle kids wanted dead or
unkempt. Well I have to say it
sounds interesting. SLIM You got
a coffee, I'm definitely going to
need one?
SLIM
Yes I have indeed thank you. Ms
SOPHIE here was good enough to
offer. (Pause) So as I was saying
these hunter killers are no joke,
they are smart professional and
use hairdressing as a cover.
Think about it what better way to
blend in. Move like a snake
through the long grass.
SHARROW
Ohhh, Now you scaring me!
SLIM
As well I might Ms SHARROW, as
well I might. Now I know what your
thinking. Hairdressers don't
normally work in (Cough) my former
business. However I was getting to
think about it. It's actually a
really good disguise. Everyone
talks to their hairdresser, its
local and very personal!
SHARROW
Jeez, it makes a kind of twisted
sense. When you are in the chair,
your are uniquely venerable, folks
open up. Say stuff that they
wouldn't in other situations.
SLIM
Yep that's exactly what I was
thinking!
SHARROW
Yes but most folks have a long
term relationship with their
hairdresser. You know your
barber, right?
SLIM
Yes indeed I do. I need to trust
a man with a razor close to my
throat.
ALEX
Yeah absolutely. So then how would
a stranger rock up quickly,
infiltrate, cut someone's hair and
then their throat. It doesn't make
sense. What about all the other
salon staff?
SLIM
That I don't know Ms ANGEL, but
then that's exactly why I'm hiring
you to find out.
ALEX
Well, yes, but wouldn't we as the
potential targets possibly queer
the investigation?
SLIM
Well, I thought about that and I
don't think so. At this stage its
more a surveillance and
intelligence gathering operation.
The killers might recognise you,
but not if you are in the
background. Once we find the
target we will organise another
eradication team to go in and mop
the floors.
SHARROW
I don't know SLIM, it sounds
risky. What do you think ALEX?
Should we do it?
ALEX
Well, the way I see it, its better
to be on the hunt than be the
hunted. If they are closing in,
sitting here on our arses just
makes us an easier target. If we
are operational, we are moving
around, and we will be with other
folks, so its potentially safer.
Makes sense to me.
SHARROW
Yes (Pause) there is that. OK
SLIM we'll take it on. Its a paid
gig I assume.
SLIM
Yes standard rates, plus expenses.
SHARROW
OK. So where do we start?
SLIM
Well, I'm about to retrieve the
results from the samples of the
crime scene of Dr ELLINGTON.
GANDER has got that queasy fella
PINKEY examining some very
interesting hair samples to see if
we can find some more evidence.
I'll fill you in on the details on
the way there. I'm also about to
start a surveillance of police HQ
up town to see if anyone goes in
or out that looks suspicious. Its
a long shot but its the only idea
I have at present. I think they
may have the convert blessing of
the local cops.
SOPHIE
If you think the killers are
hairdressers perhaps you could
check out the local Bencubbin
salons to see if any new staff
have joined. ZED needs a hair
cut, and I love having my nails
done. Perhaps we could check out
a couple.
SLIM
That's a good idea SOPHIE but
don't you be putting yourself in
any danger. Just hold off for the
time being.
SOPHIE
SLIM I have a virtual black belt
in Jujitsu.
SLIM
Yes but these operatives are very
professional, I think they sneak
up. I don't think the Jiujitsu
will protect you!
SOPHIE
Perhaps Maurice could get the DRAG
queens out and about, they are men
after all, they have a lot of
physical strength perhaps they
could do the field work.
SHARROW
Would they pass as women?
SOPHIE
Well perhaps they could be toned
down?
SHARROW
SOPHIE its an idea, but lets just
park that for the time being. We
need to get the investigation set
up and do some more data gathering
before affirmative action. SOPHIE
can you work with ZED to set up a
virtual space for this case, lets
call it 'Operation Haircut' Get
the details of all local salons in
the Bencubbin and try and
correlate their staff with say tax
records, that sort of thing.
SOPHIE
OK, going to bit tricky because
quite a few hairdresser only work
concessions and are part time.
SHARROW
Yep, but you're smart so you'll
figure it out, besides ZED will
love looking at all those pictures
of young lady hairdressers.
SOPHIE
(Giggle) Oh yeah I never thought
of that!
INT. FOLLOW THE COLOUR CLUES - 5 - 1.3
LOCATION: PINKY's Laboratory
SLIM, ALEX and SHARROW visit PINKY to shake him down for
the analysis of there forensic evidence. After lab
analysis detected traces of a chemical on the scissors,
which related to a particular dye.
ALEX
Tell me why I am here again SLIM
this guy gives me the creeps. I
really just want to clock him.
SLIM
Should be put down, for sure there
something wrong with his head, but
unfortunately we need him and his
lab equipment. I just want to make
sure he doesn't pull any fast ones
and remind him who is in charge
around these parts.
ALEX
OK, then lets just make sure we
don't need him that often.
I really don't like the smell of
his lab, triggers some unpleasant
memories.
SHARROW
Agreed, too many hours staring
down a microscope. He is however
just a shill for GANDER, so I
guess we put up with him. Need I
remind you that we depend very
heavily on his lab for our
forensic work. He has our only and
best lead evidence. All the other
stuff are dead ends.
ALEX
You sure you don't mean split
ends.
SHARROW
Ho, Ho very funny! Well at the
moment we are hunting a needle in
a haystack. Unless you have had a
huge brain wave, how the hell are
we going to find a hairdresser in
New London.
ALEX
Yeah well as soon as we have the
funds I want to start doing some
of our own analysis.
SHARROW
Do you have any idea how much an
electron microscope costs?
ALEX
Well, I don't care, this guy gives
me the creeps.
DOOR BEING UNBOLTED
PINKY
OH, shit, its you!
SHARROW
Well that's a fine way to great
people who are paying you good
money.
PINKY
Yes well, look lively, don't stand
around I don't want people
hovering by the back door! Come in
quickly and stand over there! Oh
and don't touch anything. (Seeing
SLIM step out from behind ALEX)
Oh, its you!
SLIM
Hello PINKY long time no see! How
are those whip marks on your legs?
PINKY
Ah painful, but healing. Sorry MR
WINCHELL, for my impolite remarks.
Please don't whip me again.
SLIM
Well, I don't propose to do any
more training at the moment, but I
hope you have come up with
something useful to assist us. In
future I ask that you treat my
colleagues here as if they were
me. Any rudeness will be reported
and I really don't want to have to
clean my whip again.
PINKY
Oh yes of course, yes, yes MR
WINCHELL.
SLIM
Good, so what have you discovered.
PINKY
I may have something but, I'm not
sure how it will assist.
SLIM
Please let us be the judge of
that.
PINKY
Well, those hair samples
definitely had been cut by
hairdressers scissors. I did some
experiments, like the end of the
hairs, that were cut. I took some
electron micrographs comparing my
cuts with those of the evidence.
Then I found something very
interesting.
SLIM
Will I have to whip it out of you?
PINKY
Oh no that is definitely not
required Mr WINCHELL.
ALEX
That's a darn shame!
PINKY
So Mr WINCHELL I noticed that the
cut end had traces of other hair
particles from the scissors. They
had obviously just been used and
not sterilised. This other hair
was dyed. I ran a spectrographic
analysis of the dye and then tried
to match the composition against
known brands of professional hair
products. I came up with one
match. I think a more
comprehensive analysis would be
useful.
SLIM
Well done PINKY I am actually
impressed. What do you think Ms
MAY is that information going to
further the investigation?
SHARROW
It will be helpful SLIM, but its
going to be difficult to narrow
down the selection. There are so
many products going to thousands
of salons.
PINKY
Well, sorry but I can't help you
there, no offence Mr WINCHELL. My
job is to do the analysis on the
supplied material. I believe your
job is to do the detective work.
ALEX
SLIM will it be bad if I just
inflict a little pain? Just for
the pleasure.
SLIM
I wouldn't recommend it, its like
squashing a cockroach, just makes
you sole of your boots dirty. I
had to clean my whip last time it
was applied. He also has a
horrible little girls scream. I
think its better if we just move
on.
PINKY
Well, that's no way to thank a
friend is it.
SLIM
You ain't no friend PINKY lets get
that clear. Here's your credits.
Good day to you sir.
DOOR
ALEX
Whipping?
SLIM
How the hell do you think that
GANDER got that bastard to
cooperate with us in the first
place. Its not just the photos. I
intercepted him coming out of one
of MOMOS places. He needed several
days of training. It was a dirty
job, but necessary. Besides the
girls were complaining, so I
kindly asked that he went
elsewhere.
ALEX
Did it work.
SLIM
Well, we never saw him again, so I
suppose so. He is probably
visiting one of MARCOS
establishments.
ALEX
I'm starting to get a new
appreciation for your training
skills SLIM
SLIM
Why thank you kindly young lady!
(Pause) I've broken a few men in
my time.
ALEX
Ill, bet
SLIM
Well, what do we do now?
ALEX
I'm honestly not sure SLIM.
SLIM
I think I need to visit MAURICE he
might be able to identify the
brand of hair product from the
list of ingredient.
He has quite a collection of
bottles and creams and all that
girly shit. (Pause) Ahh, could I
ask a favour?
ALEX
Of course.
SLIM
Could you accompany me to his
office, those DRAG queens scare
the living bejesus out of me.
ALEX
(Laughter) So you are telling me
that the big bad whip killer SLIM
is scared of two gnarly queens?
SLIM
There meaner than rattlesnakes,
trickier too. I tried the whip,
but they just liked it!
SHARROW
I could have told you that SLIM
ALEX
(Laughter) Oh this is classic!
SLIM
Well you weren't there!
ALEX
I sure wasn't. I avoid that vipers
nest at all costs. OK, I am
really going to enjoy this one.
SLIM
Thanking you kindly Marm!
ALEX
SLIM your safe with me I'm like
Kryptonite to those bitches, I
even have a special snarl. They
just shut up immediately when they
see me.
SLIM
Well, they say never corner
something meaner than you. Perhaps
that might be the case in this
situation. Lets hope it
counteracts this cowboy charm
otherwise we are in trouble.
SHARROW
Well, whilst you Jill a roos have
fun, I'm going back to the office
to get some work done. I think we
need to start doing some data
analysis in the VR. Can you flick
me a copy of those ingredients
from PINKY, I can get ZED and
SOPHIE to analyse them against
popular brands for any
correlations.
