Each chapter is a week apart, and the final one includes the date of the invasion.</ref> "Stormy Weather" is named based on the [[Wikipedia:Stormy Weather (song)|song of the same name]], written in 1933. The chapter includes a sample of the song as sung by [[Bonita Morelli]] and reference is made to Lena Horne's 1941 performance. | ||

Axon Clips Chapter 6 is the sixth chapter in the I Love Bees audio drama, including plot threads of Kamal Zaman, Janissary James, Jersey Morelli, and Rani Sobeck. It is one of the few chapters with a verifiable date; "Stormy Weather" takes place on September 22, 2552.[1] "Stormy Weather" is named based on the song of the same name, written in 1933. The chapter includes a sample of the song as sung by Bonita Morelli and reference is made to Lena Horne's 1941 performance.

Kamal: You mean yours? Caramel? I don't know...
Hiro: Pantyhose!
Sophia: Toffee! Hiro! You need a girlfriend...
Hiro: I'm color blind. And I don't need a girlfriend. There's you and me right? Our affair?
Sophia: (giggles) Our affair's a secret, Hiro. And all guys are color blind. Just for some guys, it's biological.
Hiro: Ouch.
Sophia: Does yours have the same video?
Hiro: Mine's got a fountain.
Kamal: That's from in front of the casino.
Sophia: Mine has tumbling dice. Let me see one of the tangerine ones... Oh! It's got a little tap-dancing girl, with a top hat.
Hiro: Let me see! Lady Luck?

Mrs. Zaman (recording): Kamal, hello. Such a nice letter you sent. Your father says to tell you he is proud of you, and we are so proud to have a doctor in the family.
Hiro: (teasing) So proud!
Mrs. Zaman (recording): Everyone is good here. Have you been eating okay? Eating salads and things? You have trouble in the bathroom if you don't eat enough roughage. I only say that because your father is the same as--
Kamal: --Okay, we're done here. (chatter off)
Sophia: Kamal! Don't be a baby. She's so sweet.

Mrs. Zaman (recording): --I'm hoping you met Sophia, and maybe got to know her a little. So sad about her parents. Her father and lady lawyer named Acasme(?) left for Earth together, which just shows you--
Sophia: What?
Mrs. Zaman (recording): --he has no sense of shame... poor girl
Sophia: Daddy?
Mrs. Zaman (recording): You must be very good to her, you hear? You have such a heart, Kamal. And I know hopefully, the day we'll be together has come soon. Kisses from your little mama. (kisses)

Sophia: It was barely a marriage, you know...
Kamal: I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have played the message.
Sophia: No, no, no, I asked you to.
Kamal: You couldn't know.

Kamal: Aiden, Sophia just got some bad news about her parents, I--
Sophia: --Aiden? Aiden? You have to get her here.
Aiden: Baby, baby, Soph...
Sophia: Aiden, you've got to get her off Coral.
Aiden: Who, baby? What's wrong?
Sophia: Mom, and daddy left her.
Aiden: Come on, sit down. It'll be okay, Soph. Tell me what's going on.
Sophia: I just heard that my dad left Coral with another woman. And my mom's still there, but by herself.
Aiden: Okay.
Sophia: You have to get her here.
Aiden: I can get her paperwork again, baby, but if she won't leave I can't make her.
Sophia: You've got to make her.
Aiden: I'll get her paperwork updated.
Sophia: Well what if you're right, what if she won't leave?
Aiden: Well maybe she will now. There's nothing left for her there.
Kamal: Should I put the beer in the fridge?
Sophia: How could she let him do this to her?

Aiden: No one knows what's going to happen.
Sophia: Everybody knows what's going to happen. We've got to bring her here. I'm sorry. I'm being stupid.
Kamal: It's not stupid.
Aiden: It's okay.
Sophia: Aiden I want to go home.
Aiden: Okay.
Kamal: I'm sorry, Sophia.
Sophia: It's just... Aiden, she makes me so mad.
Kamal: Aiden, take care of her.

Gilly: So... I'm not going into the VA after all.
Jan: Are you sure?
Gilly: Sweetheart, I'm never sure.
Jan: Well then maybe you should thi--
Gilly: --but since Reach fell, I've been better. Isn't that sick? Now the enemy's closing in, people like me can be useful. So, I got back on the meds.
Jan: Are you sleeping?
Gilly: Finally. I remember what clear and present danger looks like and it's not--

Jan: (to James) Ready in a minute. That's why you're calling me instead.
Gilly: Right.
Jan: So I can...
Gilly: Lie.
Jan: Right.
Gilly: He's a hard man to lie to but I'm guessing you're the expert.
Jan: Well, no life skill is ever wasted.
Gilly: Tell Jim that Morales was in town and I got a ride with him.
James J: Who are you talking to?
Jan: A friend! (to chatter) That sounds good. You sound a lot better. Take care, okay?
Gilly: Thanks.

James J: Baltimore, right?
McKaskill: You must have some kind of reflexes.
Jan: Oh, whenever he crashes the car we send a refund to the next of kin.
James J: Jan...
McKaskill: Who's the girl...?
James J: You want to chat, get a regular cab, stay on the grid, use your ID.
McKaskill: Hey, it's all good man. I heard you were the best.
James J: uh huh.
Jan: Wow, dad. You sound really cool.
James J: Could you just get in already?

James J: Yeah I hate that kind.
Jan: So, what's with the splint on your arm?
McKaskill: Brakes went on my hog. Could have happened to anyone.
James J: Why?
McKaskill: We were black op. Some weird freakiness whent down.
James J: ONI?
McKaskill: With the bullet?! You think I'm crazy...
Jan: Actually, when it comes to paranoia, you're among friends.
James J: Hey... Jan.
McKaskill: I just ran the tool crib. I didn't know nothin' about nothin'!
James J: McKaskill!
McKaskill: Yeah
James J: What you didn't know is enough to get you in trouble. Don't tell it to us, alright? Don't tell us anything.

McKaskill: (smirks) Yeah.
James J: Yeah.

Jan: And real-estate ads? Come on, I got C's in Spanish, dad.
James J: Hey, I know you can cuss in it.
Jan: O, merd. (likely meaning mierda = shit)
James J: Look, when you got picked up with the cops a couple weeks ago, I just did some checking around.
Jan: Not again... You promised me we didn't have to move any more.
James J: Hey, it never snows in Mexico.
Jan: Dad...!
James J: So. Who was that on your chatter right before we left?

James J: Jan, how many times do I have to tell you - if you want to sell the lie, don't keep talking.
Jan: (sigh) I can't help it, you always wait me out!
James J: It's not like we don't practice this stuff, what if I were a navy interrogator--
Jan: --navy interrogator, I know.
James J: So how did she sound?
Jan: Better.
James J: Wish I'd seen her before.
Jan: ...wait... WAIT! Stop the car! Stop the car!

James J: (gets gun) What is it?

James J: You hated that.
Jan: Like I would just get settled in and then bam.
James J: I was recruited.
Jan: What?
James J: Spartan program. I was recruited.
Jan: Yeah?
James J: That's not how they do it now, with the 2.0's. The 2.0's, they just... take.
Jan: Take?
James J: 6 years old.
Jan: Take?!
James J: 6 years old, they snatch 'em, train 'em, tweak 'em. Years and years of it.
Jan: Not even the navy would... never mind.
James J: By the time they're 14, they're barely human. Then they give them the last set of tweaks to finish the job.
Jan: My God.
James J: Lots of them die. The ones that don't, those are the 2.0's.
Jan: How do you know this stuff?

James J: They closed up in the winter.
Jan: Dad, look, you've got to stop...
(car slows)
Jan: Oh man, the special is pumpkin pie ice cream. I totally remember that! Do you remember that?
James J: That's right, they-- they were open until halloween.
Jan: And you did not understand how good it was, it was so good! Oh God... we..we came here with mom once didn't we? I just remember this lady..I didn't know who she was, but I remember her, and she was smiling.
(they exit the car)
James J: It... it won't be the same Jan. (Jan heads for it) Jan! Remember, there's milk shortages, there's rationing!

James J: And whipped cream, and peanuts.
Vendor: Okay! Be right out.
Jan: God, I can't believe you ever made us move away from Kavetti's!
James J: Yeah. So, uh, the summer we lived here--
Jan: --I mean, they still have the same sign, I remember that sign.
James J: You were really good at hopscotch. You killed at it.

Jan: Oh my God, but--
James J: I knew this tech once. Long story, but he worked on the 2.0's. Nerve regeneration, 14 year olds, neutral buoyancy tanks, their bones twisted like pretzels.
Jan: That's why we moved?
James J: And you were pegging the test scores, Jan. You were so smart. When you were killing... you were killing everyone at hopscotch.

Jan: And that time I got in the news for rescuing that stupid cat on the church roof and then we moved to Idaho. Oh my God, you had to quit your job, sell the house, and forget about a girlfriend...
James J: Thanks, these uh, these looks great! Here, keep the change.
Vendor: Thanks, have a good one.
James J: Grab some napkins, would you Jan?
Jan: Dad...
James J: Don't worry about it.

Durga: This is under the category of things you don't want to know!

Bonita: Haven't seen that look in years. Like since you were 10 maybe?
Jersey: What look?
Bonita: Well I get stuck in traffic, I'd come home, and you'd be staring at the door with this mad face, like how dare I get home late?
Jersey: So, how was downtown yesterday?
Bonita: Fine, like, any other day at work.
Jersey: And dinner last night, was that fine too?
Bonita: Dinner last night? Dinner last night was... uh, oh. Oh, Jers...

Bonita: This is none of your business.
Jersey: None of my business?! It's just my dad -- your husband!
Bonita: It is none of your business, it's between me and your father. And I don't like being spied on.
Jersey: And I don't like that you're having an affair!
Bonita: I'm not talking about this.
Jersey: I'm telling him.
Bonita: Fine, tell him.
Jersey: You don't care?

Jersey: Mom...
Bonita: There's no sun up in the sky...
Jersey: Mom!
Bonita: Stormy weather...

Bonita: Unlike your father, Simon never thinks about anything that happened before he was born.
Jersey: Because the man is a moron ma.
Bonita: I like him.

Bonita: Yeah, your father hates worrying about money. You're more like Simon that way.
Jersey: Like Simon?!
Bonita: You live in a real world Jers... you help me put food on the table, and I am so grateful for that.
Jersey: ...like Simon...
Bonita: He set up a pension thingy for me. For the first time in my life, I'm not terrified of what's going to happen to me when I get old.
Jersey: I'll take care of you mom. You don't need this creep.
Bonita: Will you Jers? What if they send you off to fight, kiddo? What if you decide you hate me, because of... because of something I've done?
Jersey: Jeezus mom...
Bonita: It's not enough Jersey, I love you. But it's not enough.

Sarah: Well, I don't know, you don't do so well with tirades.
Rani: Oh I'm sure I can change him.
Sarah: So, how does one go about tracking down this Romeo?
Rani: Well, my boss said I was using too many cycles at work pursuing this guy.
Sarah: I'm sure your boss has her reasons.

Operator: Do you know the victim?
Rani: No. (shouts) Does anybody know him?
Bystander: (in the background) That's the guy who hangs out in front of the burrito place, that's him!

Rani: I don't know... I heard something on the roof, and them I heard him hit--
Technician: He must have been drunk, or high.
Rani: Why would he be on the roof?
Technician: He might live on one. Roofs are off the streets - they feel safer. Homeless people live all sorts of places.
Rani: His ankles aren't dirty.
Technician: Hey, you're right. *phew* Certainly smells ripe though. And I'm grateful if any part of him's clean.

Rani: What if he was bleeding from the ears before he fell, like... like what if something happened to make him fall?
Technician: Lady, are you a coroner?
Rani: No...
Technician: A priest?
Rani: No, It's just--
Technician: (loading the body) Then you should probably step back cuz there aint nothing you can do for this guy now. (doors close) Okay, he's loaded. Let's get him to an ER so they can slab him.

Sarah: Don't think about it, just think of something else.
(typing)
Sarah: What are you doing?
Rani: Nothing.
Sarah: You think that guy was just pretending to be a bum. That's why his ankles were clean. That's what you're thinking.
Rani: No, I'm not.
Sarah: Rani, don't get spooky. Not tonight. Tomorrow you can do it, but not tonight.

Rani: Sarah-John...
Sarah: You think somebody used one just like it to drop that guy and let the fall finish him.
Rani: I am not.
Sarah: Swear it.
Rani: What?
Sarah: Swear it.
Rani: I swear.
Sarah: Liar. Why did you ever have to take that damn job?

Standish: Ensign, call security. Herzog, come on... you can't stomp into a meeting that's already taking place.
Admiral: Herzog, what's this all about?
Herzog: It was my understanding that wetwork required executive authorization.
Standish: Oh God... come on, not this again.
Admiral: Wetwork? I didn't authorize a termination. What are you talking about?
Herzog: I'm talking about a black op! On the roof, of a 22 year old analyst's apartment!
Standish: That's preposterous.
Admiral: What black op?
Herzog: The one that my security eliminated.
Standish: Heh, you've got no proof my friend.
Herzog: You want me to drop his smoking boots on the desk? Of course I've got proof!
Admiral: Standish, shut up. Herzog, sit down. Standish, you're dismissed.

Herzog: Standish, the Admiral wants to see you.
Standish: Herzog, this is a mistake.
Herzog: (face to face) No, Standish. The mistake was putting an assassin on a 22-year-old girl's rooftop.
Standish: Even if there was an assassin--
Herzog: Because you put one there for political reasons. Because you were afraid of what an investigation might do to your career.
Standish: Oh, not my career Herzog. Oh, and before you go getting on your moral high horse, who is using that 22-year-old girl?

Standish: My conscience doesn't keep me awake at night, Herzog.
Herzog: That's very frightening, Standish. Mine keeps me awake every night.
Admiral: (from the office) Standish...
Standish: Watch your back, Herzog. Because I'm not going to let you or anyone else lose this war.
