Yes, yes, I’m aware that us being related is very likely a biological impossibility. What I meant was: On the inside, once you get past my strikingly lovely face and all your matted fur…we’re the same. We both always dive headfirst into a fight, even if there’s a possibility we’ll end up with slightly fewer appendages. We don’t care. We’re always chasing that thrill.
BLACK KRRSANTAN:
RAAAAAAARWR!
APHRA:
Wait, don’t walk away from me! I…I…look. I know you. After you won, I could see it in your eyes.
You’re a survivor.
And so am I.
And I have a way that we could both survive…a little better?
BLACK KRRSANTAN:
[I’m listening]
Graawr rawr?
APHRA:
Right. Okay. So. This mission involves us cracking into an Imperial cruiser safe and liberating a bunch of credits into the unforgiving expanse of space.
Space, Santy!
BLACK KRRSANTAN:
[get on with it!]
Raaawr!
APHRA:
Okay, okay, I’m getting to that! Don’t kill me for attempting to tell this extra-dramatic-like. I’m trying to entertain you here.
I’m thinkin’: These other bozo bounty hunters will be perfectly happy with a…slightly lesser take. So what if I send you, on your own ship, out to gather up all of those spacefaring credits—but we only give them some of the take.
The bulk of it…well, you’ll deposit that directly into this glorious cave I have waiting on Anthan 13.
BLACK KRRSANTAN:
GRAAAARGH!
APHRA:
I dunno, you figure out that part! Why do I have to do everything?
BLACK KRRSANTAN:
[thoughtful]
Grrrar argh?
APHRA:
Using a satellite-type situation sounds perfect! And I have a droid who can help with generating the magnetic field. See, Santy, I knew you were the perfect person to help me with my brilliant plan! And make it even brilliant…er.
BLACK KRRSANTAN:
GRRAAAARGH!
APHRA:
I know. I’ve been through a lot, too, and…well.
[beat, and then her voice turns sincere—for once]
What the Xonti Brothers did to you…what all of those people did to you. It wasn’t right.
BLACK KRRSANTAN:
RAARRGH ARGH?
APHRA:
You want me to help you with something else? Well…okay, let’s hear it…
APHRA (narration):
Recording: Jump back to the part in the cave on Anthan 13—you know, me enjoying all of my new riches…
SCENE 23
INT. CAVE. ANTHAN 13, MOON OF ANTHAN PRIME.
We hear the recording fast-forwarding back to the correct spot.
APHRA (narration):
Okay, so I am a dirty double-crosser set on using a bunch of willing suckers to steal all that cash and then keep it for myself!
You know me way better than you think you do.
I mean, I didn’t keep it all. They got something. But they surely could have gotten a whole lot more…
APHRA:
Just look at the way it sparkles…
TRIPLE-ZERO:
