Transcript For Strip 793
Panel 1Satrapi's office. Seamus, Adileh, Murphy.
Adileh: So you've probably been wondering how a famous math and finance wiz ended up running a brothel in the ass-end of nowhere.
Murphy: Well, I wouldn't put it quite that way, but yes.
Panel 2
Medium shot of Adileh.
Adileh: For a few decades, I was content building my financial-services business on the augram platform.
Adileh: But after my first full-rejuve, I found that I'd grown bored, and stale. I wanted a new challenge, something different.
Adileh: Everyone was abuzz about developments in the Jovian System, so I came here to check it out. I found a different sort of challenge than I expected.
Panel 3
Flashback scene: Adileh on the streets (underground concourse, really) of an earlier, more primitive Ganymede settlement. Everyone around her is male and not looking happy. She gets quite a few leers.
Adileh (thought): Holy crap, aren't there any women?
Adileh: I feel like a caged bird in a house full of cats.
Panel 4
Adileh in a bar chatting up the bartender.
Adileh: Where are the women on this moon?
Bartender: If you're looking for women you've come to th' wrong rock, lady.
