==="Harry Canyon"=== Original story by [[Daniel Goldberg (producer)|Daniel Goldberg]] and [[Len Blum]]; based on ''[[The Long Tomorrow (comics)|The Long Tomorrow]]'' by [[Jean Giraud|Moebius]]. In a dystopian and crime-ridden [[New York City]] in 2031, cynical taxicab driver Harry Canyon narrates his day in [[film noir]] style, grumbling about his fares and frequent robbery attempts he thwarts with a [[Raygun|disintegrator]] installed in the back of his seat. He stumbles into an incident where he rescues a red-haired young woman from Rudnick, a gangster who murdered her father. She explains that her father discovered the Loc-Nar, and they have been pursued relentlessly by people attempting to obtain it. Harry takes her to his apartment, where they have sex. She decides to sell the Loc-Nar to Rudnick and split the money with Harry. Rudnick is disintegrated by the Loc-Nar at the exchange, and she attempts to double-cross Harry to keep the money for herself. When she pulls out a gun, Harry uses the disintegrator on her. He keeps the money, and summarizes the incident as a "two-day ride with one hell of a tip".
