- It's amazing.

- A bit chaotic today.

We got the Cat Fancy

cover coming out.

- You know how that can be.

- Ooh.

I've been living in a tent

for the last two years.

Oh, yeah, this is not that.

We got a sauna in the kitchen.

A lot of people think that's weird,

but I keep wine in it.

I'm not a wine guy,

but I know you got to keep it hot.

Oh, and check this out.

This... This was fun.

We shot this over two

weeks in Prague.

RON:
Wow.

You know what they call cats?

- Chicken of the rail yard.

- No.

- What?

- Don't indulge him.

- Yeah.

- CHAMP:
There's a lot of meat.

But I love it.

(CHUCKLES)

And what's so great about

it is it's so damn true.

I hate Mondays!

I'm not a Monday guy.

Ron hates Mondays.

Hell, I'm not crazy

about them, either.

I also don't like Tuesdays,

Wednesdays or Thursdays.

(ALL LAUGHING)

So why are you guys here, anyway?

Well, Brian, we're getting the

news team back together again.

Really?

And, of course, we want to

know if you'll join us.

Jeez, I don't know.

I kind of got the world

by the tail here.

I don't know if I can.

Christ, I get it.

I mean, you're the Quincy

Jones of cat photographers.

Why would you leave all this?

RON:
Hey, Brian, I don't

know if you heard,

but New York has

all-nude strip clubs.

The question still remains...

Where's Brick Tamland?

Oh.

You guys didn't hear?

No, what happened?

Brick's...

Dead.

BRIAN:
Brick was lost at sea

- about a year ago.

- RON:
Oh.

Thought he saw a bird and

he swam out to pet it.

He never came back.

- (PEOPLE SOBBING)

- We all loved Brick,

even though he never

had a phone number,

or address or Social

Security number.

In six years of working at the

station, he never cashed a paycheck.

That sweet Brick.

ED:
He was a sensitive man, though.

He told me he wanted to donate his

organs to science before he died,

so he could see where

they ended up.

He'll long be remembered

and he'll be sorely missed.

(SIGHS)

Thank you, Reverend.

- Oh.

- Oh, come on!

- BRICK:
Brick was a great man.

- (SCOFFS) Really?

And I will miss him so much.

And I will not rest until

I find his killer.

- What?

- His killer?

It is hard for me to believe

that he is gone. (SOBS)

He's not gone.

(SOBBING) I feel that I

just saw him yesterday.

You were probably talking

to yourself in a mirror.

BRICK:
When I got the news...

(CONTINUES SOBBING)

I didn't even know how

to make sense out of it!

None of us understand!

(SHOUTS) Why? Why?

Why did you take him from us?

You're clearly standing

in front of us, Brick.

God damn you!

- Brick!

- Brick is dead!

- RON:
No, Brick's alive.

- Brick is dead!

- Look at him!

- He's not dead.
