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.)

Taffin sits on the desk, looks away from Arris, as if
getting uncomfortable. He touches the ruined part of his
face nervously.

called Interplanetary Aid.
