* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Reg Quarry sets Ron the car-fucker on Rosi and Tony, programming his headware to make the lunatic think the duo are dead-sexy sports cars. Rosi hacks his headware so they look human and the Quarries look like sports cars. Boom.



*OutWithABang: Ron's utility. An absolute madman who the Quarry gang uses as a terror weapon; specifically, he can somehow make sports cars ''explode'' by fucking them. The hardware in his head enables the Quarry gang to aim him at people they want to kill ''extremely'' messily, by making him think they are sports cars.

-->'''Rosi''': When I was a kid, my dad told me a story about some old geezer who fell off a waterfall
and shooting at didn't die. When they fished him out, his mates asked him how he managed to not drown. And he said-- "I accommodated myself to the water, not the water to me." ''(floors it and starts slaloming through high-speed freeway traffic)''\\
'''Tony''': Did your dad ever tell you the one about the bloke hanging off
a precipice and menaced by tigers? At the moment where he was about to lose his grip and die in bits, he spotted a truck full of pursuing mobsters? Oh yes.strawberry growing within his reach. And he said screw it, and ate the strawberry. ''(opens fire with GunsAkimbo as Rosi engages the mobsters in a GameOfChicken)''
**Extra bonus points; Rosi points out this is all CoolButStupid, but goes along with it anyway because no matter what happens, [[RuleOfCool it's going to be awesome]].
-->'''Rosi''': That was absolute meaningless crap. But I am '''so''' keeping my cam on for this.

A 2003 three-part comic miniseries written by WarrenEllis and illustrated by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, ''Two-Step'' is the story of Rosi Blades, [[FantasticallyIndifferent jaded]] walking webcam, and Tony Ling, [[InsistentTerminology freelance black market agent]] with an interest in Zen philosophy. The two meet in an [[AlternateUniverse alternate present]] UsefulNotes/{{London}} and embark on the chase of a lifetime down the crowded streets of the city, instigating trouble with the notorious Quarry gang, studying the philosophical underpinnings of human flight, and narrowly evading an encounter with a particularly horrible destiny by riding a Vespa down a hundred-story building. It could be all in a day's work, if that's the sort of work you're into.
