Jason is in the kitchen, looking down on Francis.

Cat: what do you want?
Jason: crazy cat…

Jason turns his back to Francis and walks away.

Cat: I give you permission to leave! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Outside

Rafael is highly annoyed and lands on the floor when he spots Raul, the rat.

Raul: hey Raf.

Rafael walks right past his rodent friend without uttering a word.

Raul (cont): Rafael?
Rafael (annoyed): what?
Raul: What´s the matter with you?

Rafael: what else? That crazy cat just threatened to eat me.
Raul: what? Raf not again…
Rafael: what?

Raul: Did he really threaten to eat you?
Rafael: yes.
Raul (concerned): really?

Rafael: well, no. He was just mocking me.
Raul (w.t.f): what the hell!

Rafael:  well… I was…
Raul: what did you do?
Rafael (auto-response): Nothing…

Raul: Raf!
Rafael: I have to go. Bye!

Raul is left wondering what in the heck happened between those two maniacs.

He sees Francis´s backdoor open and runs towards it.

As he reaches the entrance to the house he peeks inside.

With no humans in sight he enters, looking for his feline friend.

Raul (mumbling to himself): I swear, those two are like an old married couple.
Cat (out of nowhere): yes, with him being the old, obnoxious, nagging wife.
Raul (smiling): and that would make you what exactly?

Cat: The former Rock Star that one night got way too drunk, slept with the former head cheerleader, got her knocked up and was forced to leave the high life behind and work at the cheese factory to support his family.

Raul (dumbstruck): What?
Cat: I also drink so I can reminiscence in my old glory days of when I was a star.
Raul: you´re insane.

Cat: oh please, I´m awesome!
Raul: I have to go.
Cat: Have I told you about the twins?

Raul: what?
Cat (dramatizing): Rafael’s pregnant again!
Raul (walking away): You seriously need to get some sleep, or therapy. Maybe both.

Francis breaks out laughing.

Cat (highly entertained): Ha! Ha! Ha!
Raul: crazy cat…
Cat: Ha! Ha! Ha!

The end!
