Transcript

LEV ARRIS: Ser Taffin, I realize how precious your time is and I would hate to have to bother you with this again. I'd sooner we come to some accomodation.

HAL TAFFIN: Accomodations pretty expensive around these parts.

LEV ARRIS: I don't expect to pay basement prices for a penthouse suite.

HAL TAFFIN: The kind of place you're looking for costs... ten thousand.

LEV ARRIS: Ten thousand. Okay. What do you know?

HAL TAFFIN: I sold it to a guy named Angus Santana on Anhur. He works for some charity called Interplanetary Aid.

LEV ARRIS: What did Santana want with it?

HAL TAFFIN: They were looking for something to use as a med-evac.

LEV ARRIS: How come you sold it so fast?

HAL TAFFIN: I don't like trouble. That ship's trouble. There was some people, there was a lot of questions. Everyone's getting rid of anything they had from that ship.

LEV ARRIS: Why all the interest?

HAL TAFFIN: Get out of here.

SC.117 ON TAFFIN (ARRIS IN B.G.)

face nervously.

called Interplanetary Aid.

What did Santana want with it?
