Strip by: Wibi

{Delkin is cornered by 3 nameless bad guys with knives. One has a mullet, one has a fade, and one has a hat.}
Delkin: ...I did this for you, Meridien...
{Suddenly, Samantha comes to his aid, tossing him a gun.}
Samantha: DELKIN, CATCH!
{Delkin catches the gun handily, looking more assured.}
SFX: CATCH
{Delkin points his gun toward the camera.}
Delkin: Looks like you lads shouldn't have brought knives to a gunfight.
{Action. Delkin shoots the guy with a mullet, while the guy with a fade runs off.}
SFX: BANG!
{The guy with the hat lunges toward him. Delkin knocks his knife away with his off-hand.}
SFX: WHACK!
{Delkin is scowling and holding the hat guy at gunpoint. The hat guy is surrendering.}
{Beat. Delkin looks uncertain.}
Delkin: I've actually used up all my one-liners. Sorry.
{The hat guy is not impressed.}
