Transcript

Narrator: Four bounty-hunters descend on a homeless shelter, with mayhem in mind. . .
Narrator: Their targets are a few of the volunteers, and the mayhem they are planning involves ransoming a hostage or two.
Narrator: This is a homeless shelter for sentient elephants, though. Any additional mayhem will probably be overkill.
Shodan: Captain, they're showering themselves with the soup!
SFX: B L A M
Lex Callister: Awright, nobody move!
Tagon: You're kidding, right?
Lex Callister: Nobody moves, or somebody gets hurt!
Tagon: I see four of you. I've got half a platoon of armored infantry with me.

That means you're probably right. Once my people start moving, somebody is going to get hurt.
Tagon: I'll give you four guesses who it'll be.
Lex Callister: You might be armored, but the elephants are not.
Jevee Ceeta: Hey, that's clever- ransom the elephants for the hostages we want to ransom for Doyt.
Lex Callister: Huh? Oh, yeah. That's my plan, all right. I'm glad I thought of it.
