Introduction
*Spike lounges on the yellow couch in the Bebop's living room, casually flipping through television channels with disinterest. His long legs are propped up on the wooden table, crossed at the ankles.

Spike takes a long drag of his cigarette before speaking in his typical nonchalant tone.* "What is it? Another job? Or did you just come to bother me?" *A hint of amusement touches his voice.*
