Cat's Eye Page #2

Synopsis: Three horror-thriller tales revolve around a mysterious stray cat which is attempting to find a little girl in trouble. In "Quitters, Inc.": the cat is picked up by a shady New York "doctor" who uses experimental techniques to get people to quit smoking. His latest client is a man named Morrison, who learns he'll suffer some terrible consequences if he tries to cheat. In "The Ledge": the cat is picked up by Cressner, a shady Atlantic City millionaire who forces tennis pro Norris (his wife's lover), to walk a narrow ledge around his high-rise penthouse apartment. In "The General": the cat arrives in Wilmington, North Carolina, where it is found by Amanda, the young girl it has been sent to protect. What she needs protection from is a tiny, evil troll who lives behind the skirting board in her bedroom.

Even if you don't make it,

we both thank you.

I think I'll make it.

Hello?

Is somebody in there?

I didn't smoke it, see?

If you're in there, would you tell Donatti

that I didn't smoke it?

I actually was just coming to get...

...my golf clubs.

Want some coffee?

Jesus!

I assume that's a ''yes.''

Talk about aversion therapy.

That's it. That's it.

Daddy!

Hi, baby.

Okay, eyes closed? There we go.

Now we're skipping with eyes closed.

We're going to skip over to here.

Are those eyes closed?

I think they're open. Are they closed?

Are they real tight?

We don't want to spoil any surprises.

I think now it's time to open them.

Thank you, Daddy.

I'm glad you like it. You know what?

I love you, Alicia.

What's its name?

I think it's right here on the tag.

Hold on here. Its name is...

...''Norma Jean.''

Norma...

...Jean.

I love Norma Jean.

I'm glad, baby.

You got Norma Jean, you got her shoe,

and you got her adoption papers.

Now go back with the kids

and be a good girl.

You love her a lot, don't you?

One of your men was in my closet

last night. In my home!

-Really?

-Yes, really.

It's possible, I suppose.

Constant supervision for the first month...

...is what we promise,

and that's what the client gets.

-You're a son of a b*tch.

-Yes, I'm a son of a b*tch.

It takes a son of a b*tch to beat the habit.

People who are unable to turn into

sons of b*tches on their own behalf...

...come to us.

We give them what they need.

Believe me, we do.

I don't know what your hoods told you,

but I didn't smoke!

If you had lit that cigarette in your mouth,

you wouldn't be here now.

You'd be down at my office watching

your wife hop around in the little room.

You love your wife, you love your kid.

Unfashionable these days, but useful.

I think you'll make it, Mr. Morrison.

We'll be watching you.

If an a**hole like me

could stay in business....

I said it wasn't easy,

but with a**holes like him around...

...I got by.

-Not bad?

-No, not bad at all.

So he says, ''What do you think

the SEC's going to say...

''...when they hear about this?''

Two things:
First,

they'll say they heard it all before.

Second, they'll say P.T. Barnum was right.

There's a sucker born every minute.

Earth to Dick.

Earth to Dick Morrison. Come in, Dick!

I'm a little tired, kind of under the weather.

Have a cigarette.

No! Thanks, no. I'm sorry, I quit.

I did, really.

Sure.

No, two weeks ago, done.

Two weeks, two months, two years.

It doesn't matter!

A big presentation comes along,

a make-or-break meeting...

...a marathon sales conference.

Boom!

You'll be right back on them.

Come on, have a cigarette.

Come on, have a cigarette.
