'''Voice''': Okay, fat man...
 +
 +
[''Cut to the [[Sniper (Classic)|TFC Sniper]], standing at a vantage point within a building. His Sniper Rifle is pointed out through the window, and he is about to take the shot.'']

 +
'''TFC Sniper''': How about you go first?
 +

[''Several knocks on the room's door interrupt his focus. The TFC Sniper lifts his head from the scope and swears.'']

[''The TFC Sniper rests his rifle against the windowsill and faces the door'']

'''Voice''' (Outside door): Virgil, it's me! Let me in!
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Uh huh. And how do I ''know'' its you?
 +
 +
'''Voice''' (More frantically): Virg, three of us are ''dead'' and the boss is ''PISSED'', now let me in!
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Ah, goddamnit. "''Apricot''".
 +
 +
[''The codeword opens up the door, revealing the TFC Engineer. He walks in.'']

[''TFC Sniper lays his rifle beside the window'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': ''Now''? Has he lost his damn mind? I've got 'em dead to rights down there. They've got ''guns'' now, Fred.
 +
 +
[''Camera moves out of the room as the two converse. Outside the door, the [[Sniper]] is seen holding a wooden plank in the shadows; the TFC Engineer is, in fact, the [[Spy]], who was attempting to run the TFC Sniper into an ambush.'']

 +
'''"TFC Engineer"''': Wait, what? When?
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Just now. Some naked guy fell out of the sky with a load of weapon crates.

 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Yeah, fine. Let's go. ..."''Apricot''".
 +
 +
[''The codeword shuts the door as the TFC Sniper pulls out a {{Botignore|revolver}}, shooting the "TFC Engineer" in the knee. Spy's disguise fades, and Sniper is seen hurrying away from the door, panicking.'']

 +
[''Spy lies sprawled on the floor, one hand clutching his injured knee. He frantically begins to shout the door's codeword as the TFC Sniper sits down on his knees beside him.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Why would the boss want his ''Sniper'' out a ''Sniper's nest'' durin' the middle of a firefight...
 +
 +
'''Spy''' (Towards the door): ''Nngh!'' Apricot!
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': ...just so he can tell me to go ''back'' to my Sniper's nest to start shootin' people?
 +
 +
'''Spy''' (In a panic): Apricot! ''Apricot!''
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Heh. Yeah, that's not gonna work. You might wanna come up with some better last words.
 +
 +
[''Meanwhile, the Sniper crashes through a wooden door with difficulty. He falls down, bleeding and weak from his stitches.'']
 +
 +
'''Sniper''': *Hff* *Hff*
 +
 +
[''There is a window inside the room he broke into. Sniper grabs into the windowsill and smashes through it; a piece of the broken window manages to accidentally catch onto his pants, leaving him stark naked once he is out of the window.'']

'''Sniper''': Bugger. Bugger. ''Aggh.'' Bugger...
 +
 +
[''Scene shifts back to the TFC Sniper and Spy'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Fred and I been workin' together since before the war. For what its worth? That was a good Fred.
 +
 +
'''Spy''' (Holding his knee in pain): '''Nngh!''' Not good enough, evidently.
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Nah, it woulda fooled me. Thing is, I know Fred so well...
 +
 +
[''The TFC Sniper taps his {{botignore|revolver}} against his right eye; it has a robotic appearance, and makes a metallic sound'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': ...I ''trusted him''. To pluck my eyes out and replace 'em with ''these''. Damn things see through ''everything''. Can't sleep at night. They see through my ''eyelids''. But lemme tell you... it is ''worth'' it to see you rat@#$% ''Spies'' coming.
 +
 +
'''Spy''': ''Ngh!'' Well. Before you kill me.
 +
 +
[''Spy seems to give up, reaching into his suit and pulling out a cigarette while giving a half-smile'']
 +
 +
'''Spy''': Would you mind... if I had a cigarette?
 +
 +
[''Camera pans to face the Spy's back. The TFC Sniper's back is turned away from the room's windows, preventing him from seeing Sniper inching his way towards the room's open window from the outside.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''' (pointing his {{botignore|revolver}} at the Spy): Sure. But take one of ''mine''.
 +
 +
[''TFC Sniper gets on one knee and lights one of his cigarettes for the Spy, lifting his hat with his gun. Sniper is halfway there, a trail of blood left against the windows.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': I don't want you smokin' one of them ''cyanide'' cigarettes you boys like so much.
 +
 +
[''Sniper is right next to the window, where TFC Sniper's rifle rests. TFC Sniper is still oblivious.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': Don't want you goin' quick. I'm gonna take my ''time'' with this.
 +
 +
[''TFC Sniper finally turns around from the sound of his rifle getting cocked. Sniper has crawled into the room, aiming TFC Sniper's own rifle towards him. TFC Sniper sighs, and puts both hands up in an act of surrender.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Sniper''': *sigh* Right. Now just think this through for a second, son. I'm sittin' on a-
 +
 +
[''Without a moment of hesitance, Sniper delivers a fatal [[headshot]] to the TFC Sniper, silencing him and killing him instantly. TFC Sniper's body drops onto the ground in a puddle of blood.'']
 +
 +
[''Spy rests himself against a wall, fingers holding his cigarette as Sniper walks towards him'']
 +
 +
'''Spy''': If I forgot to mention it before now... You Snipers are the ''worst people on the planet''.
 +
 +
'''Sniper''': He wasn't a Sniper. He was a ''sadist''. There's a difference. Snipers don't muck about with gutshots and monologues. We just take the shot.
 +
 +
[''Both men rest painfully against the wall, Spy bleeding from his leg, and Sniper's stitches leaving blood all over the wall'']
 +
 +
'''Spy''' (condescendingly): Yes, you're credit to the institution of shooting people from far away. Some of us would have ''enjoyed'' torturing him first, by the way.
 +
 +
'''Sniper''': Yeah, well... next time speak up before I blow his head off. Let's have one of them cigs.
 +
 +
[''Spy takes a whiff from his cigarette, and passes a lit one to Sniper. Both do not lock eyes.'']
 +
[''Short pause'']
 +

'''Sniper''': So... how do you reckon we get ''outta'' here?

Trivia

  • Parts of several classes' names are mentioned for the first time.
    • The Spy calls the Scout "Jeremy" while he is disguised as Tom Jones.
    • The "Devil" addresses the Medic as Mr. Ludwig, a common German name.
  • Despite the TFC Sniper claiming that his eyes can see through everything (even his own eyelids), he was unable to see the Sniper hiding outside the room, and did not notice him running away and attempting to find another way into his room after the Spy's ambush failed.
  • On Page 80, the Sniper is seen picking up his default Sniper Rifle from where the TFC Sniper was previously sitting, despite the TFC Sniper using a different Sniper Rifle (a jet-black one with a blue lens).
  • The Demoman is seen drinking from a bottle of hydrogen peroxide on Page 88. However, hydrogen peroxide is only safe to consume if highly diluted with water (3% per bottle) and in small amounts, as it can induce vomiting and foaming in the stomach.
  • On Page 155, the Spy mentions that his jacket is made by a brand named Louis Crabbemarché. Loosely translated, "Crabbemarché" is French for "crab walking", a homage to the Spycrab fad, while "Louis" is a reference to the designer brand Louis Vuitton.
  • When the Scout jokingly mentions that his father is Tom Jones, his personification of "God" interrupts his own sentence before unconvincingly correcting himself and saying that the Scout's dad was definitely Tom Jones. This continues the running gag and theory that the Spy is the Scout's biological father.
  • The scene in which Saxton Hale jumps out of his plane with Jerry clinging onto Maggie and screaming on the way down is similar to Page 7 of Ring of Fired.
  • On Page 256, the Medic is seen cradling a bandana-wearing baby baboon in the background, seemingly hinting at the success of his "Baboon Pregnancy Inducer" and the TFC Heavy's fate.
