- Quotes
Spike Spiegel: You said "bell peppers and beef." There's no beef in here. So, you wouldn't really call it "bell peppers and beef" now, would you?
Jet Black: Yes I would.
Spike Spiegel: Well, it's not!
Jet Black: It is when you're broke, all right?
Spike Spiegel: What happened to the million woolong reward we got for that last guy?
Jet Black: The repair bill for the cruiser you wrecked... and the one from the shop you trashed... and the medical bill from the cop you injured... KILLED THE DOUGH!

Featured review
The start of something unforgettable
Here's where it begins. The series kicks off with this episode, a wonderfully entertaining piece that shows us Spike and Jet by themselves, doing their thing as bounty hunters in the year 2071. As the series' self-contained episodes go (meaning episodes that are not part of either of the series two plot lines), it's one of the strongest. Spike is pursuing a dealer of a new drug which makes its user faster, stronger, his sight keener, and damn near impossible to beat in a fight. There's also the dealer's girlfriend, apparently very pregnant, assisting him with his crimes Simple, entertaining, a great way to kick off the series.
