Catwoman Page #2
Season #1 Episode #2PATIENCE:
Guess I wouldn't need the cat if...
Patience forces a laugh, fills in a ZERO and passes theclipboard to EDNA. The woman puts down the cat food, slipson the reading glasses she wears on a chain around her neck.
EDNA:
The application is mostly a formality. I have a
sense about people.
PATIENCE:
Well, I've always liked animals.
(not enough)
Cats specifically. I mean, I love them... worshipthem, even.
EDNA seems satisfied, returns to reading Patience's answers.
THE MAU, meanwhile, comes around a corner into the room,
peering curiously at Patience --who dangles her handinvitingly. He rubs his face against her hand.
PATIENCE smiles, coos at the cat --which grabs her hand hardin his CLAWS. PATIENCE stifles a yelp, yanks her hand back.

PATIENCE:
Son of a -
EDNA:
Excuse me?
PATIENCE:
Nothing... handsome cat. I've never seen one like
him.
THE MAU jumps into Patience's lap, settling in. Edna,
surprised and almost suspicious, eyes the cat.
EDNA:
Her. That's Midnight, an Egyptian Mau. Normallyshe doesn't trust people -
EDNA reaches a hand toward MIDNIGHT --the cat's fur stands
up, she HISSES and SWIPES at Edna.
EDNA:
See? Even I can't get near her... Very strange.
(glancing at theapplication)
So. You left out your parents' address.
PATIENCE:
Well... they're both dead.
EDNA:
No hereditary illnesses, I hope.
PATIENCE:
Private plane crash. I was eleven. Actually, thelast thing they gave me was a kitten... Fatso.
EDNA sucks her breath in at this insulting name.
PATIENCE:
He was very round --not from overfeeding oranything, just --really, he didn't mind. Anyway,
he was with me a long time, till early this year.
He didn't come at the sound of the can-opener,
which kind of freaked me out... I found him just,
curled up there in his little bed...

CONTINUED:
PATIENCE is getting a bit emotional. EDNA reaches across and
squeezes her hand, with genuine sympathy. MIDNIGHT snugglesinto Patience's lap, PURRING as she strokes the cat.
EDNA:
It's very hard, dear, I know... you must be in somuch pain.
Midnight digs her long NAILS into Patience's thigh, kneading.
PATIENCE winces, tries to dislodge cat's claws from her leg
--Midnight "playfully" attacks her hand. Stifling a gasp:
PATIENCE:
Mm-hmm.
EDNA:
Funny how cats get under our skin. They do exactlyas they please, they don't care what anyone thinks
about them... they're the ultimate predators. So
self-contained, so independent, so wild...
sometimes I wonder, why do they even put up withus?
PATIENCE:
The free food?
