FETT AT THE BAR OF A CANTINA HIS BACK TO THE DOOR NURSES A DRINK. DOWN THE STAIR SWAGGERS SOLO WITH ONE HAND ON HIS HOLSTER.
BARMAN TO FETT : You want a straw with that son?
SOLO : Boba Fett! I wish to have words with you on the matter of being frozen in block of Carbonite and turned into a wall ornament.
THE BARMAN"S WORRIED FACE IS REFLECTED IN THE SCRATCHED VISOR OF FETT"S HELMET
SOLO: Would you care to step outside? I'm trying to foster a new reputation with the bar-keeps of the galaxy.
BARMAN : You ain't thinking about shooting in here? My cousin over at Mos Eisley still has burn holes in his intimate customer seating area.
SOLO : He was paid.
FETT TURNS AROUND AND LOOKS SOLO DIRECTLY IN THE EYE.
FETT : So was I.
BARMAN still addressing Solo : He wasn't paid enough I reckon.
FETT THROWS FLIPS A COIN OVER HIS SHOULDER TO THE BARMAN WHO CATCHES IT MID-FLIGHT.
SOLO : Well?
FETT : Well what?
SOLO : You gonna step outside?
FETT : Everyone steps outside eventually. I step outside when I'm paid to step outside.
SOLO : How much?
FETT : To step outside?
SOLO : Yeah. What's the going rate?
FETT : How much you got there?
SOLO : Just some loose change.
BARMAN : I bet.
FETT : Come back when you have some more.
SOLO : I was kinda hoping to sort this thing out here and now.
BARMAN : Outside?
SOLO : Preferably but I ain't fussy.
FETT : *sigh* Okay.
FETT FOLLOWS SOLO OUTSIDE WHERE TO HIS SURPRISE SLAVE ONE IS PARKED RIGHT OUTSIDE THE CANTINA.
FETT : I didn't leave that there.
SOLO : Yeah I know, I kinda hot-wired it... a bit.
FETT : You hot-wired my daddy's ship?
SOLO : Yeah... Kinda.
FETT : Well I do hope it won't blow up or anything. Not with that new reputation and all, as there is a lot of potential for bystander injuries around.
SOLO : What sort of a guy do you take me for? It won't blow up...
FETT : It won't?
SOLO : Nope.
FETT LOOKS AT SOLO, SOLO LOOKS AT FETT.
HAN WALKS AWAY LEAVING FETT BEHIND
SOLO : Well not unless you try and 'fly' it or something.
FETT : See you around Solo!
SOLO SLOWLY WALKING WITH HIS BACK TO FETT BREAKS INTO A GRIN.
FETT'S EXPRESSION IS AS ALWAYS HIDDEN.
