[The difference between Kano and 9S is astounding.
The Moris sort of look between them and then look between each other. Wow. If they recognize Kano, they don't show it. 9S, on the other hand, is kind of familiar... even in the outfit... Weird.
Looks like the kid who does some mechanical work for the boss's right hand man? In a dress. With two dudes. Beppe and Nino smile real big with perfect teeth at them, and, not wanting to get involved in this mess, they lean fall away from the car.]
Thank ya, [Beppe says, tipping a head at the Moris. And then he drives on, taking it easy.
Nino bends against Kano's arms to try to reach down under the seat for the briefcase. Strangely, Beppe starts to speed up!] Hang on, boys. Now the real show is about ta start.
[ That's right. Those Moris can mind their own business and stay out of people's personal affairs. Leave 9S's hobbies and love life be.
But oh boy, okay, Kano lets go of Nino in a show of grabbing his seatbelt and finally putting it on, but all he does is loop his arm around it and take the other briefcase— the one that originally contained the dresses— and lets that fall off the seat and onto the ground for Nino's hands to bump into first. Their clothes are still down there too, wedged under the seat to make things difficult to find and pull out. ]
Hey, hey, safety first! Eyes forward and bum on the seat— and make your you're strapped in so you don't bump your noggin, Nino!
[ UH-OH. The weird looks he'll probably be getting when all this is over is lost on 9S when he sees Nino going for the briefcase. He makes a note to himself to give Kano two more bulletproof vests later for that delay tactic, and quickly bends to open the case of the Thompson again. With precise, well-practiced movements, he lifts the receiver end of the barrel section, slips the recoil spring out, and then jams it deep into the barrel with all his robot boy strength, clogging it. Without the recoil spring, the gun shouldn't be able to fire more than one bullet at a time without hassle -- and that's if the barrel doesn't blow up entirely.
With that done, 9S returns the piece to the case and closes it, sliding it back into place. ]
The briefcases aren't much different--the downfall of Xian Le perfection--so when Nino feels around beneath the seat, he gets the exact briefcase he should get. The empty one. Well, once he stops pulling clothes out of the way under the seat in confusion. He keeps tossing them over the back of the seat at them after looking.] Damn, Beppe! Where'd ya put the Tommy?!
Under the seat, ya moron!
[Beppe is focused on trying not to plow down any street lamps while zooming through Middleton. Nino drops the dud briefcase in the floorboard and tries again for the right one!]
Don't worry! [Beppe says jovially as if they aren't starting a death race.] We're gonna take out those Mori bastards with their fancy new bullet spinner, and you'll be fine if ya keep yer head down!
[ WHAT HAPPENED TO SAFETY god this is terrible, Beppe can't drive for shit and Nino keeps flinging clothes at Kano's face. ]
What Mori bastards are out on the streets at two in the morning?!!
[ WHAT A TIME TO CHOOSE TO COMMIT MASS MURDER. Holy shit. He hopes everybody is home and out of the streets and away from the windows. God. He knew he should have pushed 9S to make him a bulletproof headband or face mask or something, because a vest isn't going to do anything if they get shot back at through the windows.
If there's a time to bash these guys' heads in, now's the time, 9S. Kano has nothing in terms of fighting ability and can only hope that whatever 9S did was this gun is enough to jam it completely and make these two look like doofuses screaming their heads off AT TWO IN THE MORNING while nothing happens. ]
[ Ohh god. 9S has a bad feeling, and that feeling is right in his arm. A soft-topped car containing some kind of big, big gun that fires big, big bullets? Yeah, that sounds like just the right home for a "bullet spinner".
He can't be certain it'll be the same car, of course, but the possibility is there -- and that's more than enough to make him nervous. ]
I'll give you a hand!
[ He plucks his pistol out of his coat. Even though he and Kano have been sabotaging these Xian Le goons, 9S doesn't want to see them hurt any more than he wants to see any Mori goons getting hurt. The Thompson won't be saving them, so he'll just have to do his best to make up for it. He's neglected to put on his safety belt because what are those, and he'll stay unbelted so that he can move to whichever window he needs to, and trample Kano if need be. ]
The Mori bastards with that damn cannon of theirs!
[It's true, Beppe is kind of a wild driver. It's fine!! Nino reaches out to hold onto the dash while finally getting the right briefcase up and open. Ah yes, the Thompson. Nino starts putting it together with too much experience right there in front of God and everyone, the case in his lap.
But Jesus is kind, blessing them with the fact Nino doesn't have to fire yet.

Beppe twists them onto the next road, but there's something turning onto the street at the other end.]
