KENSHIN EXPRESS

by Jeffrey Hosmer

[Scene: We open to show a Dojo in 19th century Japan.  A red-haired
swordsman is standing in the yard before the building.  Two scars cross
his left cheek, forming an "X" and he is wearing a simple reddish-
purple outfit.  He is smiling at the camera, his eyes wide-open and
trusting.]

Man: Hi, do you know me?  I once killed hundreds of people to help
usher in the Meiji government, but it's surprising how few people
really know who I am.

[Suddenly, several large individuals, all carrying swords leap over the
wall surrounding the Dojo.  As one, they charge the man.  Narrowing his
eyes, he watches them approach.  At the last moment, there is a faint
*ching* as he draws his sword.  Seconds later, the attackers are all
lying on the ground, twitching painfully.]

Attacker 1:  S-strong.

Attacker 2:  W-who...?

Attacker 3:  Red hair... scars... H-hitokiri... Battousai.

[The man smiles sunnily at the camera.]

Man: So, to avoid all the pain and confusion, I carry the Kenshin
Express Card.  Don't leave home without it.

[The screen dissolves to show a credit card with the name "HIMURA
KENSHIN" typed on the bottom.]

Author's Note:

     How many red-haired, scarred, swordsmen can there BE in Japan,
anyway? :)
