Barb Wire Page #2

Synopsis: In the early 21st century, the USA is in the wake of the Second Civil War. The whole country is in a constant state of emergency. What was formerly called the American Congress now rules the country with fascistic methods. There is only one free city left, Steel Harbor, a coastal California industrial town which is headquarters for the resistance. This is the home town of Barb Wire, owner of the Hammerhead nightclub. As times aren't good, Barb has a second job. She's a bounty hunter and you probably wouldn't want her after you. Barb's credo is to never take sides for anybody and that's the only way to survive these days in the crime-ridden streets of Steel Harbor. One evening, her former lover Axel Hood appears at the club asking for a favor to help him and his lover Cora D flee the country to Canada, Barb suddenly finds herself to be key player on high political stage. Now she has to take sides.

think about that, sweetheart?

Who are you talking to?

Some chick.

Where's your mercurial sister?

Why don't you try the office?

And when you see her,

tell her I only had two.

Okay, whatever you say, Charlie.

That's my boy.

Goddamn. Customs police.

Stay put. We'll handle this.

Where's your ID?

-Something feels wrong.

-This is making me very nervous.

Look,

we just stick with the plan, okay?

Change of plans! Let's go!

Sh*t!

Find them now!

Sorry, boss. Is this a good moment

to talk about the payroll?

-No.

-Tonight's fan mail.

Three offers

to sell black market dollars...

Another offer to buy the bar...

An urgent request

to contact the resistance,

and a badly-scented proposal

of marriage.

No more valentines, Curly.

Oh, it's awful.

Look, boss, I hate

to keep bringing this up, I really do.

But tomorrow's payday.

What am I going to use for money,

a smile?

Relax, Curly, I got it covered.

-Are we going out?

-For a while.

Just how far out are we going to go?

I want to get some air.

But I thought

you got some air last night?

That didn't happen.

This isn't happening either.

Anybody asks,

I'm taking a bubble bath.

Barb, I just don't like...

Keep Charlie out from

under the tables. It's embarrassing.

I will.

Sweet dreams.

Okay. Okay, let's go.

Now what?

We find Krebs.

Any bright ideas how?

Just one.

I had to do a little moonlighting

to keep my bar running.

Not an easy life. A girl's gotta do

what a girl's gotta do.

And in this world

you gotta use everything you got.

Hey, handsome, you want some company?

You a cop?

See a badge?

You got your Med-Reg?

Full medical, checked yesterday.

-How much is this gonna cost me?

-That depends on how you wanna play.

-I like to play rough.

-Me too.

Hey, nice nuts!

Get a life!

Apartment four, seven, two...

One guest.

Retinal scan verified:

Ruben Tannenbaum,

one, zero, eight, one, one.

How romantic!

I have an idea.

Why don't you go change

into something more comfortable?

How about

something a little less comfortable?

I can hardly wait.

Bingo! Mr. Krebs.

Did you wash your hands?

No.

I was bad.

I'm so glad to hear that.

Now, close your eyes and turn around.

What the hell?

I wouldn't do that

if I were you, Krebs.

Come on, move your ass!

Sh*t!

Go ahead, go!

-You're not going soft on me, are you?

-Okay.

You can have him.

Good.

You're my last bail jumper, Krebs.

Wake up, sunshine.

-Please don't kill me.

-That was nice kicking.

You really know your stuff, babe.

What did you call me?

Don't call me babe!

Goddamn it!

Ah, Mr. Krebs.

It's a pleasure to see you.

You know,

we were getting very concerned.

And Barb...

it's a pleasure to see you too.
