CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT
========================
EXT. FRONT GARDEN. LOVELY SUMMER'S DAY.
LOVELY, BOUNCING MUSIC PLAYS AS A HAPPY SCURRYING KITTEN IS NOSING AROUND A HEDGE, ROLLING ON THE GARDEN PATH, PLAYFULLY CHASING AND JUMPING TO TRY AND CATCH A BUTTERFLY. IT FOLLOWS THE BUTTERFLY ACROSS THE ROAD. A CAR SCREECHES AND HITS THE CAT. TIME STOPS WITH THE CAT HORRIBLY TWISTED IN MID-AIR. DEATH HAS APPEARED. HE SWINGS HIS SCYTHE THROUGH THE CAT. A LITTLE, SHOCKED LOOKING GHOST CAT SUDDENLY APPEARS SAT NEXT TO DEATH LOOKING EVER-SO-SURPRISED. LIFE WALKS ON TOWARDS THE DUO UNTIL ALL THREE ARE IN SHOT.
LIFE
Alright.
DEATH
Fine. How’s it going?
LIFE
Not so bad.
THE GHOST CAT TURNS HIS EYES TO LIFE.
LIFE
Eight left. Be careful.
LIFE BANGS HIS STAFF ON THE FLOOR. THE GHOST CAT DISAPPEARS, THE REAL CAT LANDS ON HIS FEET AND CONTINUES TO CHASE THE BUTTERFLY ACROSS THE ROAD.
END
