Conversation with Black Cat

- Is it true the colour black
ensures good luck
for certain cats?

- Statistically, survival rates
exceed felines' of white or grey.

- Is the colour lucky for
black cats' cohabitants?

- Would you prefer me
to be white or grey?

- Do you suffer
motion sickness, vertigo?

- No.

- Would you like to go to Paris?

- Mais pourquoi? Une cite des chiens!

(She shrugs and yawns dismissively.)

- Would you mind, were I to go?

- ...to the dogs? It's your
prerogative... But don't
expect to be on speaking
terms with Moi
for many moons...

- You'd prefer I stayed home then?

- It's your call.
Just don't push your luck.

- Thanks for the tip.
So maybe Rome?

- Of course! Why not?
If you insist...
But bear in mind,
while you're away
it's possible
that I'll turn grey...

- Ok Black Cat.
You win. I'll stay.

- Now you speak avec raison...

She turns her back,
hauteur personified,
and stalks away.
