    This episode was great for its comedy, action, and chase. Its focused on Spike, Faye, and a woman who only goes by V.T who meets up with Spike and helps them in this episode.
    My favorite scene was when Spike performed his floating act and uses his gun shots to get him back to V.T.'s ship.

  • Every bounty hunter in the galaxy is looking for a man named Decker,who is carrying explosives. Faye is on this case.As for Spike, which is getting over a serious hangover,meets a women who goes by the initials V.T.. She hates bounty hunters,but will shemoreless

    This is another great episode. This has a really great bar fight in it, and never again do I want to see Spike hungover, not a pretty picture. I know this might sound wierd, but in the beginning of the episode I tought that VT was a guy, maybe not that wierd, but anyway. Watch it, it great, and funny.

    • (coming episode) Jet: Once in a while, I do the preview myself. I'm Jet Black, 36 years old. I'm often told I don't look 36, but you shouldn't judge people based on appearances... or how much hair they have (clears throat). Things are never what they seem to be. That's how the next episode is too. It's a story that seems very unlike Bebop. Next episode, Waltz for Venus. Stuff like this is good once in a while.

    • VT: Since when is it a bounty hunter's job to chase after a woman's *** instead of money?

    • Faye: It's ugly, and parts of it are still broken. Jet: To bad it wasn't your mouth that was broken.

    • Spike: You spilled my egg…I needed that egg.

    • Spike: The place is crawling with bounty hunters, they all know about Decker, and I've got a hangover the size of Neptune.

    • Antonio: VT, I think your name is... Carlos: Adrianne, that's just gotta be it, right? VT: But Adrianne doesn't start with a V. Antonio: Aww, you see, we should've stuck with Leticia!

    • Faye: I don't like this. It's a delicate operation and I'm not really the delicate type. V.T.: All right then, then don't be so delicate, let's just go for it! (V.T. then cranks up the heavy metal all the way, startling Faye)

    • Faye: Can you please turn down that repulsive music? V.T.: I don't think so. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

  • ALLUSIONS (4)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • The cargotrailers of the trucks as well as the foot pedals look a lot like the ones from the 1996 movie Space Truckers. A movie that might have had some influence on this episode.

    • Decker bears a remarkable resemblance to Woody Allen.

    • The space truckers named in this episode- Love Machine, Sneaky Snake, and Spider Mike- are characters in the 1978 movie Convoy. They were played by Burt Young, Randy Brady, and Franklyn Ajaye, respectively.

    • As Spike is making his prairie oyster, there is a bottle of Boofeather Gin- a Greeking, or name change to protect patented/copyrighted brand names, of Beefeater Gin. 'Boofeather' has a beefeater mascot like Beefeater's does.
