Transcript For Strip 2376

Panel 1
Ricky, Lucy and Li in Ricky’s office. Ricky is pouring some drinks from a bottle that has materialized on the small table next to his seat
Ricky: I hope you’re getting paid a million Moebits for this one. And your life insurance is up-to-date.
Li: Let me put it this way … this is about honor, not money.
Panel 2
Ricky drops his casual demanor, now Lucy pipes up
Ricky: Oh shit, Jesús, I warned you about doing jobs for honor.
Lucy: Now you wanna be honorable?
Panel 3
Now Li is looking dead serious, as he leans forward.
Li: I have never cheated a client or reneged or failed to deliver on a contract.
Lucy: You may be honest in business but personally you ...
Li: And I never ‘led you on,’ either! That was all in your head.
Panel 4
Ricky looks thoughtful.
Ricky: Let it rest, Lucy.
Ricky: But Jesús: ‘deliver on a contract?’ You were supposed to be Montoya’s security?
Li (OP): I was supposed to shadow him, only make my presence known if he got into trouble.
Panel 5
Focus on Li, looking somewhat ashamed.
Li: I followed him through nine different worlds as he chased one lead after another.
Li: But then I was separated from him at a critical time, and, well ...
Li: … As you said, you saw the video.
Panel 6
Ricky, Li, and even Lucy raise their glasses.
Ricky: Albert Montoya was a very good man. And I lost several friends in El Gran Raio.
Ricky: I – no, we – will help you find that bitch Zondra Quirós.
Lucy: Well yeah I lost friends, too. Just don't tell Ethel.
