The Cat from Outer Space Page #5

---

Levitation.

You're as light as a feather.

Look at me. Im floating!

Its just plain incredible!

- Look, one hand.

- You're losing your concentration.

Yeah.

Hi, Frank. Gotta use your set.

(commentator) The ball goes

crosscourt to Brown. He brings it...

- What were you doing up in the air?

- Uh...

- Astronaut exercises.

- Oh.

- Link, Im busy.

- Yeah. Well, just forget Im here.

The last minute of the game, and Francine

throws me out of the apartment.

Why does she throw me out?

For one lousy cigar burn on the chair.

- When did you get a cat?

- Jake's not my cat. He's just visiting.

- Hi, Jake.

- Im gonna have to ask you to leave.

Do you mind, Frank?

Remember. the score's tied at 108. Atlanta

has the ball and a basket could win it.

Win it? Oh, man! And l gave a point

and a half. There goes my 100 bucks.

Come on, defense. Come on, guys.

Man to man, we'll...

The crowd is really on its feet now.

The guy in the corner.

He's alone and closely guarded by King.

King steals the ball. What a play.

Here come the Lakers.

Five seconds left.

Puts up a shot.

But a prayer. there's no chance.

Wait...

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute!

I don't believe it. He scores!

He made it in the last second.

and the Lakers will win it by two.

Unbelievable!

Frank, did you see that?

Yeah.

Im really gonna have to ask you to leave.

- l could use another beer.

- Im out of beer, Im sorry.

- How about a ginger ale?

- Im out of that, too.

- Could l at least finish my cigar?

- Link, please.

Id like to have a little celebration.

Ill see you later.

The basketball game?

You did that?

Any friend of yours

is a friend of mine.

it was the fastest way

to get rid of that flake.

Let's go.

Its less than 36 hours to liftoff.

Right. Oh...

Do you think

l ought to carry you,

so people don't suspect

you're not an ordinary cat?

Good thinking, Frank. Besides,

my left paw's been acting up again.

- An old football injury?

- Actually, no. Polo.

Now let's go.

What about getting into Hopscotch?

It'll be guarded.

- Ill handle that, too.

- Its fantastic.

Hi. Hi, this is Lucybelle.

What'd you say you call him?

- Jake.

- Jake, right.

Jake, this is Lucybelle.

l thought...

...they could get acquainted

while we're at dinner.

- At dinner?

- Yeah.

it was tonight, wasn't it?

Right. Right, yes.

l was just about to call you.

Something came up. Im afraid you're

going to have to give me a rain check.

Oh.

Oh, well, of course.

it really doesn't matter.

But it does.

it matters a lot, Liz. Dr. Bartlett.

You see, what happened was...

(Jake sneezing)

Its Jake. He took sick.

Suddenly. Out of the blue.

Really? What is it?

l think it's, uh, Tasmanian Croup.
