SS: The Quantex Fund
Raised brow. "If I recall, the last time I did this, I almost got shot in the head."
Cheeky smile. "Yes, well, you can hardly blame Kay-"
Deadpan, "I meant by Jayne's friend."
Pause. "Oh, right. Yeah, he almost did shoot you in the head."
Sigh. "So why should I agree to this? I mean, that 'almost' could turn into a 'definitely'."
Cheeky smile. ""Cause, Doc, you look the part." Back slap. "Do I gotta start describin' ya again?"
Colour-drain. "No. No, that's not necessary. So tell me again what we're doing?"
Chuckle. "Knew you'd come around, Doc. And it's simple. At least in theory-"
Sigh. "That's what I'm afraid of..."
Reassuring, "Relax, this should go well. You walk into the bank, pretend that the Quantex Fund belongs to you, and raise a stink when they won't give you your money."
Beat. "Right. Because I'm so convincing when I do that."
Grin. "You are! Hell, I almost believed ya back on Lilac."
Blink.
Continuing, "Now, we got access codes, but they may not wash. If they don't you be that stuck-up little priss I know you can be, and demand to see the proprietor of this fine establishment."
Nose-pinch. "Right. And as I pitch a fit screaming, what are you going to be doing?"
Another back-slap. "We'll be robbin' the place blind while you keep'em busy. Have fun."
Stare, cough, side-stepping away.
Fading, ramp closing, "Oh, and make sure you demand some sort of compensation once you discover that your money's missin'!"
Nose-pinch. Sigh. Quietly, "...Right. Sure thing."
Exeunt firefly, exasperated doctor.
