Scenes with The Cat 92

Cat

[singing] I'm gonna get you, little kitty, I'm gonna get you...

[He stops dead when he sees the Dog, looks straight at the camera]

Cat

I don't know what that is, but I'm sure he wants to eat me.

DDog

Well, trash my shorts, what a funny-looking dawg!

Cat

...better make myself look big! [raises his arms and snarls]

DDog

Put it there, Buddy, put it right there!

Cat

[reels from his breath] Argh! What kind of toothpaste does he use?! Rotting meat flavour?

DDog

Oh, come on now. I wanna be your buddy! Tell you what - I'm gonna smell your behind, and you can smell mine! Now, is that a deal?

Cat

You wanna smell my WHAT!?

DDog

Why sure! Don't you wanna smell me?

Cat

Man, I could smell you if you was on Mars! When was the last time you took a bath?

DDog

Oh please, don't say that word!

Cat

What, bath?

DDog

You said it again! Now listen up: if y'all gonna say that word in front of me, please spell it.

Cat

When was the last time you took a B - A - T - H.

[beat; Dog thinks about it]

DDog

What's that?

Cat.

Cat

Mm?

Did you ever see the Flintstones?

Cat

Of course.

Do you think Wilma's sexy?

Cat

Wilma Flintstone?

Maybe we've been alone in deep space for too long but every time I see that show, her body drives me crazy. Is it just me?

Cat

I think in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman who ever lived.

That's good, I thought I was goin' strange.

Cat

She's incredible!

What do you think of Betty?

Cat

Betty Rubble? Well, I would go with Betty...but I'd be thinkin' of Wilma.

This is stupid. Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?

Cat

You're right. We're nuts. This is an insane conversation.

She'll never leave Fred and we know it.

Cat

Is that what I think it is?

What do you think it is?

Cat

An orange whirly thing in space!

It's a time hole. That's where they are. We're going in.

Cat

Are you crazy We can't go in there!

Why not?

Cat

Orange, with this suit?

[Cat and Lister are playing Scrabble.]

Cat

Hey hey hey, I've got you now, buddy! J, O, Z, X, Y, Q, K!

That's not a word.

Cat

It's a Cat word.

Jozxyqk?

Cat

That's not how you pronounce it!

What does it mean?

Cat

It's the sound you make when you get your sexual organs trapped in something.

Is it in the dictionary?

Cat

Well it could be, if you're reading in the nude and close the book too quick. Jozxyqk!!!

I'm alive! I can touch, I can feel, I can fondle - I'm alive! Don't you think it's incredible?

I AM ALI -!

Cat

What was he saying? (Lister shrugs)

Is it me or is that cockroach shuffling too loudly?

Kryten, it's called a hangover, don't panic...

We're on a mining ship, 3 million years into deep space. Can someone please tell me where the smeg I got this traffic cone?!

Cat

Hey, it's not a good night unless you get a traffic cone! It's the policewoman's helmet and the suspenders I don't understand!

Cat

What was it like being a hamster?

It was better than being a chicken. Have you seen the size of an egg? Seen the size of a chicken's bum? That's what all the clucking was about. I was trying to say in chicken-talk "for God's sake, give me an epidural!"

[Lister looks at the stasis pod, while suffering from Space Mumps]

So who is she, Holly?

Says on the pod, Barbara Bellini

Barbara Bellini, what a beautiful name. There's no justice, how can this happen to me? Maybe I can wear a turban and pretend I'm from India.

Cat

Maybe you can stick a spike in your head and pretend you're the Taj Mahal!

With respect, sir, they're not androids, they're simulants.

Cat

What's the difference?

Well, the basic difference is that an android would never rip off a human's head and spit down his neck.

[Lister takes the witness stand]

Name?

Dave Lister.

Occupation?

[looks bewildered for a moment, then answers] Uh, bum.

Sir, would you describe the accused [Rimmer] as a friend?

Cat

Take the Fifth!

Sir, please answer the question. Remember you are under polygraphic surveillance: Would you describe the accused as a friend?

No, I'd describe the accused as a git.

And who would you say feels most fondly for him?

Well, I do.

And there are no others who have shared intimate moments with him?

Only one, but she's got a puncture!

Objection!

JJustice

Overruled.

So, if it's not Bellini in there, who is it?

One of the prisoners. And considering the ship was transporting forty psychotic, half-crazed, mass-murdering, super-strong androids, we thought it prudent to find out who the smeg was in there before we woke them up.

With respect, sir, they're not androids. They're simulants.

Cat

What's the difference?

Well, the basic difference is that an android would never rip off a human's head and spit down his neck.

Can we stop it, Hol?

What? Oh. No. One-way process.

Can't we X-ray the pod?

No. Lead lining. That's to survive in space, innit?

There must be some way of finding out.

Well, there is. All you 'ave to do is 'ang around 'ere for 24 hours. Then, if you find your limbs scattered across deep space and your neck full of saliva, you can take it as read it probably wasn't Babs.

[The crew are talking about how to go back to the bridge through closed doors.]

Cat

I've got it. We laser our way through.

An excellent plan, with just two drawbacks: One, we don't have a power source for lasers; and Two, we don't have any lasers.

Cat

Come on, man, you gotta sacrifice your life. I'm not asking you to do anything I wouldn't do.

You? You'd sacrifice your life for the good of the crew?

Cat

No! I'd sacrifice your life for the good of the crew.

Cat

Great(!) Where does this leave us?!

It leaves us floating aimlessly in space with no navigation and a rapidly diminishing emergency power supply. It leaves us galloping up diarrhea drive without a saddle.
