Cat Call

Dad In our Hearts - For Better or Worse

Happy Birthday, Fáni!

Thanks!

May every new day be a joy.

Thanks, but I was just going...

May the dew of heaven water your heart, blessings

Make a wish!

I never do.

Of course you did, dear.

30's a big deal!

'Course it isn't.

Your 20s are the big deal.

Oh, to be seventy again!

Time for your present.

I told you I didn't want one.

It's organic!

This is Jácint.

I can’t even see him die.

Don't worry about that.

When she likes someone

she always pictures their death.

How did you know that?

Your grandmother.

Your mother told me.

You told me yourself.

Will you leave my love life alone!

What love life?

We're trying to get you one.

The Cultural Centre still means a lot to both young and old.

I myself have memories of the concert hall.

So I would restore the facade to its original form.

Externally, I would install hexagonal gravel stabilisation grids

in a beehive pattern.

To conclude:

the reconceived spaces

would recall the former ambience...

...as if reviving the spirit of the place.

Carry on, I'll be back in a sec.

So, I think

we should be radically...

Radically old fashioned, right?

No, radically against demolition

and to preserve the existing space.

Let me introduce your new colleague

and my very old friend, Mihály---

Hi.

...who's just won a cute little prize at the Venice Biennale.

Last year, he was nominated for the EU Contemporary Architecture Prize.

After a few constructive years...

...he came back from Holland

to throw a little of his glory our way.

Have a seat!

I didn't want to interrupt, please continue.

I was just finishing.

Any questions?

Isn't it naive to think

they'd go for this plan?

- PC Charitas in Belgium won on - They did.

Their prize is that it'll collapse in 5 years.

I like you already, broheem!

Thank you for bringing this tender to our attention, Fáni.

Mihály, Fáni, my office!

- Hi. - Yeah, welcome, bruv.

Do you know a place to let?

Fáni, weren’t you talking about one near you?

No!

Fáni, meet your new colleague.

Come from afar, but Hungarian at heart.

You introduced us already.

Not to Pinkie!

He's a flowerhorn.

All 4,000 Euros worth of him.

If our office were a fish tank,

Fáni would be our Angelfish.

Very daring, and pretty, too.

Now go and show your new colleague the Cultural Centre.

Pinkie, you mean?

No, to Mihály.

So he can see what we're involved with.

I'd rather keep working on the plans.

Fáni!

An Angelfish doesn't try to worm out of things.

Though that worm in 2012 got you quite a catch!

I measured it already.

Better safe than sorry.

695.

Right.

So I would expand the stage,

there'd be a communal area there,

and that's about it, done.

So out of tune.

You play?

About this much.

You can fit a false chord into any music.

A pure one only where it fits.

Like a tangled English garden.

That can fit anywhere, too,

unlike a boring, perfect French one.

French gardens aren't boring.

They've got labyrinths!

An English garden is better for getting lost in.

I'd rather get lost in a labyrinth

where there's a way out.

If you're lost already

it's easier to find the right path.

But if you're already on the right path,

you just have to follow it.

But if you're only looking at one path,

you can't see the others at all.

The most direct way is the way home.

Sit on the sofa alone and it’s boring.

But if there’s two of you, it’s a two-seater.

Buy this sofa now and don’t be alone.

Hi, Zsanett! Is this for my birthday?

...wait a sec, dear! What was that, Fáni?

This two-seater sofa.

From you for my birthday?

Oh, Fáni.

Happy birthday!

Oh, not you, I see...

Afternoon, miss.

I'll call you back.

This how ladies dress in Holland?

We should move there!

Sure thing.

Holland?

Where you and your husband are moving from.

Husband?

Is he coming or shall we take it up?

What husband?

Why would I need a husband?

To break his neck taking my couch upstairs?

I can take it upstairs myself!

Well then, miss, what do you need a two-seater for?

To sit on.

For two.

Well, we don't deliver husbands.

Fanatical cow

My husband'll see about your tip.

Hello, neighbour.

Just moved in.

Thanks for saving my sofa.

So I can take it downstairs all alone now, yes?

Hello pussycat.

You lost?

I'm not your pussycat.

Pardon?

Bless you.

What a sweet little sneeze.

You can talk?

You seem to have that effect on me.

Bless you! Got a cold?

I'm allergic to cats.

Could you get him out of my flat?

Sure. Sorry.

I've been waiting for you my whole life.

You walked through the wall?

Taking me seriously at last?

I couldn't find him.

He must've come over the balcony.

Shall I lock him in the toilet?

Just try it!

No need.

Wow. Your flat's like an English garden.

With French music.

Yes.

It helps the plants grow.

Silly, isn’t it?

Pathetic, really.

All day! Drives me nuts.

Would you like some tea?

No, I don't like tea.

Stay!

Got any milk?

I'll have a look.

I drank it all.

Don’t let him fool you.

My flatmate's not as angelic

as he pretends.

He's just left his wife and three small children.

Sorry, none left.

What's wrong?

Just allergic to your flatmate.

And I'm sorry for the children.

Yeah?

And sure, me too.

At least they'll have no illusions.

Can you hear it too?

What?

So

then I've gone mad.

Maybe.

Love is the wisdom of fools

and the foolishness of the wise.

I'll be waiting for you.

Happy belated birthday!

Here's your present.

And I baked you a cake. It's everything-free.

And I made a wish, because I know you never do.

Thanks.

Wow!

Promise you'll wear it.

All right.

Could you pass me that product?

Sure.

This?

The calming cat food for anxious kittens?

No, you can chuck that, I've done that post.

You don't even have a cat.

Was it the sustainable pizza you wanted, dear?

Yes, that!

There it is.

Listen...

What's the most pizza-like filter?

Miami filter maybe?

How is a pizza sustainable?

You're right! It's the sustainable that needs the filter.

This'll be perfect.

I met a talking ca... cabbie.

I mean, something... one was talking to me

that shouldn't have been.

Is someone harassing you?

I'm just doing an anti-harassment campaign.

Fáni, it's no joke!

No, but in a good sense,

I met someone.

Really? At last!

Not in that way.

You all try to marry me off.

He's just an interesting character.

Yeah and what else?

Hairy,

because really, he's a...

That's hot.

No, he's actually hairy.

He's got a moustache.

You hate that!

He's got a tail between his legs.

I hoped so.

Is he an animal?

Cut it out with the dumb comments. Sorry.

Sorry.

Well, he's really...

...my neighbour.

A fairytale!

Just what I wished for for you!

There is a small problem...

Oh, you can change any man.

Photo!

But he's not a...

Fáni, don't be so negative.

Have a bit of self-confidence!

Photo!

A calming cat food for anxious little kittens.

"Chillcat."

Open up the universe for your cat.

Hello!

Ágika, my dear.

Do you think talking cats exist?

My personal opinion is that although

cats definitely exist,

tradition says they are

creatures of the Devil

who suck the souls of the dead.

I would avoid them, if I were you.

My professional opinion is more or less the same...

Yes but are there cats that can secretly talk?

Well, if it's saying something, then it must talk.

If we believe in evolution

then it's monkeys who'll speak first,

then dogs, but cats are next.

I'm not convinced.

Evolution is not a question of belief, Mum.

Everything's a question of belief!

This dart, for example

will only find you if you believe in it.

You've got that?

Make a wish, Fáni.

Something you really want.

I wish I could go to Daddy's concert.

You can’t wish out loud, or it won’t come true.

How's your cat?

Great.

He keeps me up all night.

What's wrong with him?

He's horny.

Pardon?

Just kidding.

But he's really changed since I moved in.

He's so anxious.

Do you still have that cat food?

Does that certain neighbour of yours have a cat?

Yes.

Ah! In that case, yes.

Yes?

Oh, did I ring the wrong bell?

I couldn't say.

I came to see my friend.

Are you her neighbour with the cat?

Damn!

Can I bring it in? It's very heavy.

Sure.

- Thanks. - Hi!

Hi!

Are you the kitty the cat food is for?

What a naughty little thing you are!

Zsanett's going, only I thought,

she has this food for anxious kittens.

Yes, yes, I got it.

Hi, I'm Zsanett.

Fáni's only friend these 27 years.

Mihály.

Would you like anything?

Milk?

Fáni loves milk. But I'll be off.

Hot or cold?

Great!

And he's not so hairy at all!

I wasn't talking about him, but his flatmate.

Yeah, but he's not bad, either.

He's just left his wife and children.

So he's free!

What is this that you're wearing?

It's appalling, take it off.

- Now? - Yes, now.

Much better, much.

What was the point of all that?

Can't I be curious?

You like someone at last! When's he coming home?

Coming in?

Whoah, what a lot of plants.

You must have to water them a lot

so they don't wilt, huh?

Yup, that's right.

Oh, I'm late for the recording studio.

I'm on my way!

I've really got to go. Pleasure.

Oh, I'm so clumsy!

And of course I've locked myself out.

What a shame.

Do you have a t-shirt she could borrow?

Sure, sure. Yes.

I'll call a locksmith.

You’ll have to wait here, what a pity.

What a beautiful day!

Perfect for hunting.

Oh!

A gentleman doesn't peep.

Gentle-man?

Not a man.

Not human.

Are you on the phone?

Umm Embarassingly, I was just talking to myself.

Your ridiculous social conventions don't apply to me.

You don't have to cover yourself with me.

I'm naked too, you know.

Spirit me away.

Isn't it girls who're spirited away?

There's your conventions again.

I'll set you free.

Don't you like it?

It's just that my father was a musician.

I'll get another one.

Even a combine harvester

would look good on you.

Can he hear you, too?

Oh, he didn't even hear his wife

begging him not to go.

Three little kiddies

in that cold attic room.

Speak of the Devil!

So your dad's a musician?

Was. He's dead.

I'm sorry.

What did he play?

Guitar, and sang.

Had a band.

You probably wouldn't know it. 'Ghost Rider'.

Seriously?

I know it.

- Really? - Yeah.

Oh, how cultured he is. Oops!

I don't believe this!

So you'll take me away?

I can't take you away.

We shouldn't even be talking.

Forbidden fruit.

Sweet as honey.

I'm not going to steal you from Mihály.

- Mmm - Steal? The cat?

No, I said I won't.

Yes, but that implies

There's nothing between us.

Really?

That's not what I was thinking.

Oh, yeah.

Only, I have to go back to Holland for a week and...

You want me to look after him?

Yes!

I thought of it, but your allergy.

I'm all better.

Dust.

Sweet dreams.

I can't sleep alone since I smelt your smell.

Do I smell?

'Course not.

I just used that as an excuse

to come and be next to you.

Come here.

Can I sleep here?

I can't sleep if you're watching me.

You're not alone any more.

Get used to it.

I'll always be watching you,

and I can see in the dark.

This, what's this?

Oh, that's a pretty sad story.

I've got one of those, too.

I was born in a poor family.

One of six twins.

I was the youngest.

I never knew my father.

He came,

mated,

and left.

Typical.

Not long after

my mother threw me out.

I ended up in an orphanage,

but I escaped, and then

I grew up on the streets.

Someone disrespected me once, and I didn't let it go.

Had the scars ever since.

Don't worry, nothing happened.

I wouldn't take advantage.

So then you did sleep with him?

No, it's not like that.

Do u wanna coffee, xoxo?

What dyou say?

Do u wanna coffee?

Yes, pls. + one of those donuts

from the Cupcack bakery 2.

K.

What?

We're practicing, because I think

that in a few years we'll all

talk the way we text,

and I have to be ready.

Right. So Me-hi's flatm8

Me-hi?

Mihály.

Oh your cute neighbour, Mihály.

No, his flatmate.

Photo!

I didn't picture his death!

Really?

Cool.

Something like that.

Happy Women's Day, pet!

Oh, I just can't control myself!

Do you want some Chillcat?

Or something else for dinner?

You.

Chillcat

Mmmmm.

Chill.

Chill.

Chillcat.

The way you move is sobering.

Let yourself go.

Come on, Fáni,

forget your pride,

I'm gonna make you see the wild side

If there's trouble I'll claw you out,

I'll make them mice all scream and shout,

My words so sharp they could cut a laser,

Bring me a vodka with a double-cream chaser!

Wow, you've got a real talent.

I know.

It's always been my dream

to get my message out to the world.

Maybe you can do it, too.

It'd be so good if you got known,

all the other rappers would soon be gone.

Well, it almost rhymed.

My childhood was hard

That's it!

it's not been an easy ride,

I did something awful and my dad...

Yeah, ok, leave it.

Come here.

That's your thing.

You're a rare beauty.

And I don't just mean your looks.

That too, of course,

but it's your loneliness I really like.

Your pain.

Pain?

Yes.

You can tell you're carrying this terrible pain.

You see the real me.

Shhh.

Just enjoy it - everything is right, at last.

You and me.

I'm not picturing anyone dying.

It's all

normal at last.

I looked at the options.

The frame is very good,

the spaces are pleasant, the location's great.

It used to be a cultural centre,

so it does have a mystic atmosphere.

I think it would be perfect as an arboretum,

a response to the biggest question of the 21st century: sustainability.

But:

the building is in critical condition.

It would cost much more to do it up

than to build something from scratch.

So my conclusion is

it should be demolished.

Demolish the Cultural Centre?

I found that tender, and I was going to do it!

You make a plan and I'll make a plan

and the others can decide.

This wasn't what we agreed.

Fáni!

Mihály laid out his concept,

and I liked it.

Let's hear him out too,

after all this is a democracy.

We feel ya, bro-ntosaurus rex!

I have good news.

You don't have to catsit any more.

He ran away.

That's ok.

He'll come back when he's hungry.

You're picturing someone's face, aren't you?

Me?

No.

Listen, Fáni

I think a building is determined by

what it was built for.

Sure.

Except when, for example,

they use churches as hospitals in wartime.

But I have to save buildings!

'The King of the Beasts', lions are known as,

though in reality only 30% of lion hunts...

Well?

This stuff turns you on?

I told Mihály you'd run off.

That was cunning of you.

They can mate almost 200 times in less than 48 hours.

That all? Pussy!

Aren't you hungry?

Is there any Chillcat left?

Nope. You gobbled it all.

Shouldn't you have done something about that?

Pet.

All right. I'll fix it myself, like I always do.

Enjoy your evening.

Hi Zsanett!

Do you have any more of that calming cat food?

They banned it, because the cats got addicted

I took the post down and everything.

Couldn't you get me some somehow?

Not on the phone!

But tell me, what's with your mysterious partner?

At last, someone's turned your messed-up little head.

Does he still have his moustache?

Where were you?

I was really scared.

Did you get in a fight?

I wanted some of that food, but no one's got any.

Sorry.

I'll try to be more careful.

So you love me.

You can't just disappear like that.

What if something happens to you?

Oh, I'm a tougher nut than that.

I could kill for some of that Chillcat, though.

Where is it? Where is it?

Fáni, I'm watching you in the tub,

My tail's hanging right down to the plug,

Don't think about your mother now,

It all comes at a price!

Miaow.

You're so good!

I can almost see you in a music video.

Almost?

No.

I can see you.

My art is crying out for a studio recording.

We can do the video later.

Yeah!

Well then?

Well what?

You'll book a recording studio?

I thought we were kidding.

You people don't take me seriously.

I don't believe

Yeah, you don't believe, that's the key.

You don't believe in me enough!

Right then, sir or miss

I'll start the music, and then you can get into it.

Mess around, miaow, whatever the idea is here.

Just make sure you're not too whiny, kittykat.

They're a pair of dimwits, tell them.

They don't get it, but I'm not doing it for them.

So, this isn't going to be messing around and miaowing,

but rap.

He's going to rap.

Gangsta rap.

Gangsta rap.

All right. So let's get started.

The backing track is on.

This beat's a dream to me, this beat is cream to me,

this beat's a dream to me, this beat is cream to me,

this beat's a dream to me, this beat's

Come on, Fáni, forget your pride, - That's me.

I'm gonna make you see the wild side

If there's trouble I'll claw you out,

I'll make them mice all scream

My words so sharp they could cut a laser,

Bring me a vodka...

So I'll run it again,

and this time try and

ginger him up a bit, or something.

This is fine, I can hear him.

You can?

Then you should be sitting here.

I swear on my mum I'm not getting anything.

That's what your mum said to me last night.

You need to lower your dosage, love!

Just record it!

Hey...

I've got a new contract,

and we have to record the spot quickly.

Cool place, by the way!

Can I listen to what we got?

Sure, have a seat.

I'll roll what we have.

Needs some words, no?

Yeah, the beat's bangin',

we just need something to work with.

You let them make a fool of me?

I'm paying you a lot to do your job and be quiet.

Heya.

Fáni?

For the love of God, Zsani, give us 2 minutes.

So you're the cat lady who's paying a fortune

so they have to pretend you're normal?

But they aren't.

Is that your neighbour's cat?

Aren't I the cat in your life?

His flatmate is my colleague

Tell them!

who's my neighbour.

Are you ashamed of me?

No!

He's the flatmate.

Yes, it's him, it's him.

We're together and I don't care what you say,

that's how it is.

Bugger me!

Something to say?

You're seeing a cat?

And?

Sure you haven't developed an eensy-weensy

brain tumor?

Who are you to judge?

Judge? Me? No way. Only

...isn’t he a Chillcat addict?

Aren’t you a like addict?

Does your mother know?

Yeah, does she?

Uh, that would be weird.

So you don't think it's natural, either.

So you don't think it's natural, either.

So you don't think it's natural, either.

Act natural, Ági!

I told you to act natural.

Act natural, will you?

Hi. Let me introduce my partner.

Naturally.

How natural!

What could be more natural?

Come in. Make yourselves at home.

I'm hungry!

Call me Ági.

So how did you two meet?

Long story.

I was asking our guest.

They don't want to talk about it,

don't force them!

We met through a colleague.

Oh, is he an animal, too?

Mother!

Of course,

it's only natural.

You know, Fánika's never had any luck

with men.

She was always picturing guys dead,

and then somehow ended up alone.

Runs in the family, that.

Vilma!

We tend to end up alone.

You'll scare our guest!

That's it, I can't wait any longer.

Shoo!

Mmm, salmon, my favourite.

Shoo, bad, dirty cat!

Shoo, shoo...

You dirty thing, get off the table this instant!

Oh.

Sorry, but he was on the table.

Don't take it personally.

She's like that.

Yes, that's right.

Doesn't know what she's saying.

Politics has driven her mad.

- Vilma. - Yes?

Please, let's not get into that.

Fine, fine.

Then let me show you this instead.

Look:

Fánika's three in this one.

Her first time on the potty!

Aunt Vilma, couldn't you...

You were a little girl, what's there to be ashamed of?

And in this one, you see,

she refused to wear clothes till she was six.

She felt happiest naked, so we used to call her

our little pornstar.

And what do you do, young man?

Tell them.

He's a hunter.

Lucky he's not a musician.

Isn't it.

Tell them the truth!

But

Really

he's a gangsta rapper.

Sorry.

Be more understanding, Ági.

I think I've been quite incredibly understanding.

Fáni's happy at last!

Fáni's father was a musician, too,

a deadbeat.

Ági wasn't keen on that.

That's going too far. Take acid instead!

Well, it's a little weird, that a cat...

Always just promising this and that.

Then what became of him?

I don't mind that he's a cat

but that he's a musician!

A corpse.

I finally bring someone home

and this is how you behave.

I have no problem with him,

I love cats.

I used to have a cat called

Frici, remember?

Oh, Frici!

He was so elegant, so pretty,

not so scruffy.

You just keep doing your stuff, don't worry about me.

As if I wasn't here.

That fell.

Can't you sit still for a minute?

I've got a very important day tomorrow.

I'm trying...

but I'm worried about you.

Your family's a bad influence.

They're toxic.

You just give and give, and for what?

It's never enough for them.

Never mind.

I'm trying to help you,

looks like I can't.

I can't concentrate like this!

Bloody hell!

You see. That's what I mean.

You're only thinking of yourself, too.

- No, not at all, - Of course you are.

I'm trying to help you, but it looks like I can't.

Hello Fáni, how can I help you?

Looks like you don't need me at all.

If you don't need me, push any button.

You won't see me again.

Don't go!

Happy Birthday, Fáni.

May every new day be a joy.

Quietly Fancsika.

You want to come to a concert again?

When you blow out the candles

and it's dark, we'll run.

Your mother can't know, kapeesh?

What did you say?

My peach.

What are you doing, darling?

Nothing.

Make a wish,

something you really want.

I wish that I could go to Daddy's concert.

You can't wish out loud, or it won't come true.

But Daddy's taking me, he just said!

Oh, for the pumping piston of

a petrol-powered pet python, Fancsika.

Oh, wow, surprise!

Come on, jump!

Stop! Come back! Stop!

Come back! Stop!

Come here!

I never want to see you again!

What about you?

Yes, I want to!

Then why did you betray me?

Bad from the litter up,

you know me well

One day, believe me,

they'll play my song in hell.

I'll never leave you.

He didn't abandon me.

It was my fault.

Ah. Then let's have a drink.

Calm you down.

I know a good place.

Here's your chance to get even with fate.

Help me.

I want a video to go with the song.

I've really got to get this tender tomorrow.

We could have hot girls like you in the video.

And Mihály could ruin it all.

Let's not talk about him now.

He mustn't have a chance!

Screw Mihály!

All right, calm down,

we won't talk about him.

There's no need to be jealous.

I'm not jealous, you've drunk too much!

You're just like your mother!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

but think of me -

all those men in your office,

I bet you fancy one of them!

Fáni!

Hm?

You're up.

What?

You're up.

Ok.

Every Belgian is born with a brick in his stomach.

What a lovely thought.

Jan de Vylder,

Inge Vinck,

Jo Talo.

They respected the decisions of the architects of the past,

accepted them, developed them.

My God.

Form,

asymmetrical sequences,

festival!

The variety in the Cultural Centre

makes me want to play hide and seek,

almost like the

labyrinth in a French garden.

For me, the past

is dirty

and in ruins,

but all that

can be restored with a few steel girders.

Yes.

It would be much better if she wasn't wasted.

Thank you Fáni.

Thank you.

Who votes for Mihály?

Ok.

And who for Fáni's plan?

Fáni!

You can't vote.

Looks like Mihály won. Congratulations.

Why are you sneaking me in?

Because you're not allowed to be here.

I just wanted to see if you're all right.

Just great.

Fáni!

You're behaving like a little girl.

Fáni.

That was horrible.

But I think I finally understood

and

I realised that

French gardens are not so boring after all,

because

I've gotten completely lost in the labyrinth.

You've grown to be

Don't listen to him,

think of his abandoned children!

Oh!

You found Smoothie?

You needn't have brought him in

I would've stopped by. - Smoothie?

The cat, it's his name.

The hell it is.

Tell him we're together!

We are

seeing each other.

And there's nothing smooth about him.

Pardon?

Well done, pet.

Fáni, the boss wants you.

I'll let the cat out of the bag, Fáni.

Pardon?

But I'm a little disappointed.

Smoked emu.

Fancy a bite?

I can't eat right now.

With a hangover.

You should have won.

But recently, you've not been on top form.

Let it go!

Well, precisely.

Is that your cat?

Because if so, you owe me 4,000 Euros.

I needed that for your video.

What video?

I was talking to the cat.

Oh, yes.

I talk to my animals too.

Really?

Yes.

But this is an office and not the circus.

I would be careful, if I wanted to keep my job.

True!

And all my savings went on that fish.

Does this show up that bit of fat?

No.

Oh, it has to show.

I need a little imperfection.

It won't look honest otherwise.

Zsani, could you lend me 4,000 Euros for the video?

What video?

The rap clip.

With the cat, sorry,

your boyfriend?

You're making a video.

Yes.

Yes?

Photo!

Photo!

Choose: me and the kids, or social media.

He's asking you to delete yourself.

Delete myself?

When it's the one thing I'm really good at?

No, but you should make some changes.

Changes?

Yeah.

So you're dating a cat,

and making a rap video for him

and now you're giving me advice?

Zsani, I know you're angry...

I'm not angry!

I just wish you'd go home to your cat.

It's for your boyfriend, am I right?

Yes.

Must have a big dream.

Exactly.

To do with his music, am I right?

Precisely.

For some big project

that you couldn't understand,

but he knows it'll make him rich and famous, yes?

Absolutely.

In that case you can bet your bottom dollar

I won't give you a penny!

Like you never gave dad anything

for the things that were important to him.

I gave him everything I had.

Almost including you.

Why didn't you let me go to his concert that day?

Then maybe none of this would have happened.

He would have taken me on his back again

and said my name in the microphone and...

Sure.

So he could forget you

so you end up sleeping in the cloakroom again?

What cloakroom?

Darling, listen,

We're just nipping off.

I'll be back.

Your favourite motorcycle jacket

looked like a filthy ashtray after.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

Ouch. Why'd you do that?

It's just a bit of love magic.

I only want to help you be free

of the curse of a musician.

Who're you dolling yourself up for?

Me.

Take it off, it's too strong!

Power cut.

Just when you've got the kids.

What?

What, no,

it's easier to water them with this,

because I get the amount right easier.

Uh-huh.

- I have to. - What would you say...

- Lend. - What?

- I'd like to... - What would you like Fáni?

Would you lend me 4,000 Euros?

Sure.

Don't you want to know what it's for?

Nope.

A music video for your cat.

He's been dreaming of a career in rap.

Silly me.

I thought he wanted tinned food instead of pellets.

No.

He'd do anything to make it happen.

Or you would.

So you’ll give me the money?

Sure.

But I don't agree with it.

Seriously, relax, because even if he does nothing but miaow,

it'll still work.

Come and have a look around,

see what you spent 4,000 Euros on.

This beat's a dream to me, this beat is cream to me.

Smoothie at the mic, Smoothie with the flow

When you hear it, it'll make your mind just blow

My rap is like Chernobyl, come and feel the glow

Smoothie at the mic, Smoothie with the flow

If there's trouble I'll claw you out,

I'll make them mice all scream and shout,

My words so sharp they could cut a laser,

Bring me a vodka with a double-cream chaser!

Piece of shit glasses.

Listen, baby, you can dance wilder than that.

But Miki, am I a person who's...

Leave off, leave off, shoo!

...playing a cat, or a cat who thinks they're a person?

Just really go for it, it'll be great!

You sure?

This whole setup is so off the wall, if it didn't exist, you'd have to make it up.

Did you bring the bling?

Damn

I left it in the office.

Then what are you still doing here?

I can't go in, I took a sick day.

Shoo!

Who is it?

Me.

So this is what you meant by sick day.

I warned you.

And Mihály even tried to get your plan approved.

But in vain, we can't protect you from yourself.

It's a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.

Don't bother coming in tomorrow.

You have to keep the infant with its father,

because the young one feeds on its father's poop.

Isn't nature amazing?

Yes.

Clear your desk by six.

Nice tail.

Thank you.

The boss said you wanted to give me the project.

Sure, it's more important to you.

I'll be off now, I've been fired.

What?

'Scuse me

Have you seen a black cat?

You're such a sweet little kitty.

Mmm, pet, that's good...

Mmm... That's real good.

There! Right there.

Oops...

Cute kitty.

Cute, eh?

Stuck his little head between my boobs

and went wheeee!

Ssss!

I don't want to know the details!

Are you ok?

How dare you, with someone else's cat?

Can't I stroke him?

No!

All right, I'll be off.

Have fun!

Don't be angry, pet, it was just a lapse.

I haven't had any Chillcat in days.

I'm through with all this.

Go!

Mihály can't wait to have you back.

These are instincts, Fáni.

But I was thinking of you the whole time.

I saw you in her.

Because I love you.

Is it really only me you love?

Of course, pet.

You mustn't think the worst all the time.

I can see why you have such dark thoughts, because of your father.

I mean, you did betray him.

If you hadn't been so selfish that day,

he might still be alive.

Get lost!

The whole world's against me.

I thought you were different, but...

apparenly not. - I even helped you with your video

though no one can hear you on it!

Little bitch!

Where are you, my love?

Lost cat - Reward

Aren't you angry with me?

Yes.

But no.

I am.

We were worried. You disappeared.

Do you have cocktail things?

No.

Thank God. I'll never drink again. I'll buy a car.

Oh, mum.

Fáni, dear!

All right.

If you want him back so much, we can make a love spell.

Yeah!

- Does that exist? - Yes.

My wall...

Don't disturb the magic.

And then we put my shadow into some gluten-free dough,

which goes in the oven at 200 degrees.

But the most important thing is that the person we have in mind

has to eat some of it.

Ciao!

And I'll post it.

Tagged to his mother.

So you didn't delete yourself.

Let's try and avoid conflict.

Let's make the next 27 years be about

trying to accept each other as we are.

Deal?

Hi.

Hi Mihály!

I've had an idea.

Wait a moment.

So I realised that we could work on the plans together.

I've been fired.

That's not important.

So that both our ideas could happen.

A rock club that is also an arboretum.

A rockboretum! Or jungle club.

Carry on don't mind us.

My mother...

Nice to meet you.

And what do you do?

I work with Fáni.

Office musician?

No, architect.

Oh! Thank God!

Though I don’t believe in Him.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

- Would you like some... - Milk?

Tea.

With milk?

All right.

I can't

do this.

Me neither.

After what I did to you,

I get it that you don't love me any more.

I did think you'd never forgive me.

But there was still a tiny hope,

after all, you know how important you are.

But you've found someone else.

Of all the men in the world, you had to pick him?

Mihály.

I saw the way you were looking at him.

So I'm no longer needed here.

I could be dead for all you care.

No!

Fáni,

can you forgive me?

Yes.

So...

you'll marry me?

Yes.

Where's the groom?

There's something important I have to tell you, Father.

I'm listening.

The groom is a cat.

Oh!

Well...

That's all right.

But is it ok if only I can hear his vows?

God will hear them too.

He's not even baptised.

We'll emergency baptise him.

Just as soon as he gets here.

What if he doesn't get here?

Oh, he will.

I invited him.

Or the love spell worked.

Hello!

I'll delete myself right now.

No, no, wait.

I signed up and I understood that this makes you happy

and you're the best at it.

So, I thought, let's do it together.

And I tried your magic recipe.

They're beautiful.

- I missed you. - Me too.

Fáni could do with a guy like that.

Can you forgive me?

Yes.

This is a 'Luca chair'.

It's made of nine kinds of wood.

I made one for myself a long time ago,

to find out who the witch was in my life.

This is yours.

Stand on it at a place that's special to you,

with your clothes inside out, and watch.

You'll know who stands in the way of your happiness.

Yeah right.

Oh, and don't forget to

set fire to it once you get off.

Hello?

Now?

I'm on my way.

Don't forget the chair!

Well?

Did you marry your cat, then?

No.

He didn't turn up.

Oh...

Since Mihály quit, you won after all.

He quit? But how's he going to feed his kids?

Oh, you’re hilarious today.

I only hire people without children.

If Mihály had children, he wouldn't have worked here.

And he'd be pretty unhappy.

And irritating little things would thing around him.

But I was told...

By your cat?

Or Mihály's wife?

Let me tell you: he doesn’t have one.

He doesn't?

Mm-hmm.

Never did?

Mm-hmm.

- Would you like some... - Milk?

Tea.

Tea with milk?

Fáni!

You have another few hours left

to convince him not to go back to Holland.

You'll know who stands in the way of your happiness.

Aaaaawrgh!

This isn't what it seems at all.

It seems to me that

you have three little kids and a wife.

Oh, her? I don't know who that is.

But she's not my wife.

Which was your lie about Mihály.

This female begged me, Fáni, to...

Well...

I was domesticated. Which was a huge mistake,

because I don't deserve to be locked up in a flat.

You're right.

And you don't deserve me either.

Come on, little rock-an-rolla!

This one's for you!

Baby, I've got to say it loud,

I love you and I'm proud!

I wanted to show you this before I left.

Out of the depths like a nightmare

Nowhere to go, the future is bare,

It's dark, flames rise beyond the door,

But I just keep screaming more, more, more!

If those above you

Really love you

Don't go.

Not now,

when I've realised that I love

English gardens and I want to

to get lost in one.

I can't believe this.

Why don't you ever say anything?

Why don't you ever ask me anything?

I'm rattling around in your veins, you know.

You can talk to me.

Help me.

You're a big girl. You can help yourself.

I can't.

You can if you decide to.

I made a decision, then, and that's the reason

I'm not here with you for real now.

But that was my fault.

Of course it wasn't.

I was drunk, I wasn't paying attention.

Why are you angry at yourself?

I'm angry at you.

Fancsika, dear.

Be angry at me, it won't kill me.

Anyway, I'm here, you can talk to me.

You're not here at all.

I'm just seeing things again.

If that's true, then you really can help yourself.

And maybe someone else too.

Every problem is an opportunity in disguise.

And if that mangy cat ever hurts you again,

I'll kill him, kapeesh?

What did you say?

My peach.

Mihály!

The kittens.

Does anyone know of any just impediment?

Speak now or forever hold your peace.
