It's a Fine Life - Oliver! 2009 Cast
''Alright boys! We're coming in!''
The door burst open to reveal two queens, one black-and gold and the other scarlet with a white muzzle and stomach. They were both clutching sacks. Macavity looked up from his sheets and smirked when he saw his two agents. The rest of the toms in the room looked up at the two girls, their eyes wide and mouths slightly open.
''Demeter! Bombalurina!'' Macavity cried, walking over to the two queens and kissing both of them on the paws. ''How are my two favourite agents today!''
The two queens emptied out their sacks on the ground: a shower of gold and precious jewels fell from both of them. Macavity's smirk grew wider as he picked up one of the jewels. He held it up to the light with two of his claws, examining it with his bright yellow eyes.
''Excellent work ...'' he purred.
Demeter beamed at him. ''It took a while to get that one out of the bedroom - the old crone had the box right by her bedside.''
''I'm glad you got out of there okay ... '' he said, looking at her pointedly. He put his second paw under Demeter's chin and pulled her face up so their eyes met. He then stroked her chin, his eyes never moving away from her.
Bombalurina flattened her ears and let out a soft hiss, but Demeter was purring, enjoying the attention.
''Got any gin Mac?'' Bombalurina asked her boss, trying to get him away from her younger sister. Macavity looked annoyed but whipped his paw away from Demeter's face and walked back towards his desk, opening drawers and searching for a bottle of the requested drinks. Demeter looked slightly put out.
The toms standing around the table were still staring at the two queens: Macavity had a strict rule about keeping the toms and she-cats seperate so it was rare that they saw any queens.
''Here girls.'' Macavity said, holding up a green bottle. ''A gift from me.''
He tossed it over to them and Bombalurina caught it. She grinned at her boss and took her sister's paw and began walking towards the door. ''Thank you Mac!''
When the two of them got out of the room and away from Macavity's watching eyes, Bombalurina spun around to face her little sister. ''What are you playing at Demie?'' she hissed. ''Letting the boss run his paws all over you!''
Demeter looked away from her older sister. ''It's none of your business what I do with Macavity. I happen to like him and he happens to like me! You don't know anything!''
''Well, I know something. I know that girls like us ... we don't get the fairytale ending. We're criminals Demeter. We don't get the prince or the castle or happily ever after. Okay? The sooner you learn that the better. You have to get used to the fact that this is your life - and for the likes of us, it's a fine life!''
(I re-started the song a few times which I know is cheating, but this was one I really wanted to write!)
