JUNEBUG

Everyone laughs.
SNITCH
Ya' regular high-bred gentleman with that fancy talk ain't cha'?
Snitch's eyes are bloodshot red as he grips a piss poor excuse for a pistol called a Pugg under the table.
It's taped together.
JUNEBUG

Chips fly everywhere.
Junebug blows Snitch away with his pistol, the Kingpin.

Calm down!
Chinchilla hands Junebug to Minx.
MINX
Just walk it off, baby. Just walk it off.
ALEXIS

JUNEBUG
The kinda' fool that still thinks god rings the school bell.
Alexis giggles with a smirk on her face as she shakes her head.
ALEXIS
Junebug, you ain't right.
JUNEBUG
Neither is the rest of the world so I guess that means I fit right in.
Junebug lights a cigar full of hickory.
ALEXIS

JUNEBUG

Junebug motions for Alexis to have a seat on the couch.
ALEXIS

Junebug ashes his blunt.
JUNEBUG

ALEXIS

JUNEBUG

Alexis motions to herself, 808, and Officer Whistle Britches.
ALEXIS
We're sneaking into the Death Factory.
Junebug looks at Alexis like she's crazy.
JUNEBUG
Girl have you lost your cotton-pickin' mind?
What chu' going in there for?
ALEXIS
I have proof the Occult Bureau's responsible for the Star Dust that's being dealt on the streets of Hollow Point and believe it's being refined by Manzini in the Death Factory.
MINX

Junebug and Minx both look confused.
JUNEBUG AND MINX

Minx snaps out the stupor.
MINX
What they doin' that for?
ALEXIS
I don't know that's why I need to use the Infinity.
Junebug takes another toke off his cigar.
JUNEBUG
How you planning on getting in there?
ALEXIS
Through the sewer system underneath the Death Factory.
Alexis motions to Officer Whistle Britches.
ALEXIS
Whistle Britches used to patrol it.
JUNEBUG

Officer Whistle Britches nods, yes.
OFFICER WHISTLE BRITCHES
In deed it is.
Junebug ashes his cigar.
JUNEBUG
Gonna be a rough ride.
Place smells like a stray dawg' with two butt-holes fartin' napalm, so ya' can only imagine what it's like inside.
Minx crosses her legs.
MINX
Whatta' bout' General Grindcore?
He's got the Nexus Point on lock down an' there ain't no getting to the bayou unless ya' go through him.
Junebug leans back and puts his arm around her.
JUNEBUG
She, right.
Grindcore actin' like the whole world on probation.
ALEXIS
I'll take care of General Grindcore.
Junebug looks worried as he takes a final pull off his cigar.
JUNEBUG
I'm getting too old for this shit.
Alexis smiles and takes the blunt out his hand.
ALEXIS
Ain't nothing wrong with growing old as long as you age like a fine wine.
Alexis hits the weed.
ALEXIS
It's when you go out like a malt liquor that things tend to get nasty.
