Jet and Faye are after Starship Pirates, while Spike is bringing his ship to be overhauled. After Spike's return to the Bebop, he finds out that Jet and Faye didn't capture the bounty heads. The Starship Pirates have a virus that they transmit by harpooning ships. As long as they avoid getting harpooned, they'll be OK. If they do get harpooned, Jet's solution is to turn of their ships' computer systems and fly them manually. One misstep on Spike's part, and he's a dead man.moreless

      • (Spike calls the Bebop.) Faye: Hello? Oh, it's you. The mysterious missing guy. Where have you been hiding out? Spike: I'm still at Doohan's shop. So where's Jet? Faye: He's got his hands full right now. He said he was working on some kind of bacteria or something. Spike: Bacteria? Jet: No, it's a virus, Faye. A computer virus. Faye: Well it's the same thing. Ed: Uhhhh? Uh-uh. Jet: Starting with the mono-system orbit calculator, navigator, engine control, communications circuit. They're all gone. Spike: I don't get it. How about using English huh? Ed: The computer's kaput, and we're drifting through space towards certain oblivion. Spike: (sighs) Definitely got that.

      • Spike: (sighs in relief) Doohan, you saved my ass. (pulls out lighter.) Doohan: Not yet. Spike: Huh? Doohan: Most of the heat resistant tiles have peeled off. The temperature is rising. (Spike lights his cigarette.) Miles: The landing wheels aren't retracting! Doohan: Yep, and the #2 nozzle won't work either. (Spike smiles as he puffs his cigarette.) Miles: What? Are you for real? We can't land without them. I knew I shouldn't have come up here. Spike: Oh well. Whatever happens, happens. Miles: I'm only 18. I don't wanna die yet. I've never even been with a woman! Somebody help!

      • Spike: (about to crash into the planet) Oh, well. Whatever happens, happens.

      • Doohan: Spike. I know you can do it, boy. I didn't give you the Swordfish for nothing, you know? Spike: Yeah, don't you go and crash either, old man.

      • Miles: Hey, uh, do people ever tell you that you don't talk much? Spike: Hey, well, do people ever tell you that you talk too much? Miles: Huh, I guess so.

      • Miles: (flicking on switches) Maximum propulsion. Doohan: There's still time to change your mind and leave, Miles. Miles: Negative! Blue Sox fans never leave the game early!

      • Ruth(talking about the Bebop): Man, what a piece of crap.
