PATIENCE
Hi, Edna Powers?
(off her nod)
I'm Patience Price, I called about adopting a cat?
I saw your flyer at my vet's office

PATIENCE
Guess I wouldn't need the cat if...
---
PATIENCE
Nothing... handsome cat. I've never seen one like
him.
---
SALLY
Look what the cat dragged in.
---
PATIENCE
No, I -- see, my cat got out
---
---
CATWOMAN
And the cat came back, the very next day...
---
CATWOMAN
The cat came back, they thought she was a goner...
---
CATWOMAN
But the cat came back, she just wouldn't stay awaa-
ay...

EDNA
Feles, Latin for cat. Gynos, Greek for female.
I'm a professor of folklore and mythology -- that
is, I used to be, until I was denied tenure. They
said my work was frivolous, but it was an all-male
department, and -- well, it's a long, sordid story

(thinking)
A domestic cat can return to its natural state
effortlessly. But once a cat's gone feral, it can
never be tamed.

EDNA
Relax a little, learn to live with your inner cat.
Even love her -- she has many admirable qualities
-- integrate her into your life. If you accept the
darker impulses, try to channel them -- maybe
she'll come to be domesticated
---
EDNA
I didn't say that! Patience, you made these rules
up yourself -- a cat is a cat 24 hours a day, they
just go hunting at night
---
PATIENCE
A closet, the pantry, something! Please... we have
to keep the cat in tonight.
---
PATIENCE
So this whole time, you've been flirting, buying me
dinner, acting like you were interested -- I was a
suspect? It was just some cat and mouse thing?
