[[Figure 2 is kneeling behind a larger box, returning fire.]]
[[Figure 1 leaps on top of the larger box, knocking figure 2 backwards and off balance. Figure 2 fires wildly into the air.]]
[[Figure 1 is standing on the box. Figure 2 is sprawled on the ground, laser pistol out of reach, at gunpoint.]]
Figure 1: Any last words?
Figure 2: "Apollo retroreflectors."
Figure 1: What?
[[Figure 1 gets shot in the back by the returning beam of figure 2's wild shot.]]
{{Title text: Whenever I miss a shot with a sci-fi weapon, I say 'Apollo retroreflector' really fast, just in case.}}
