8 INT. BASEMENT - MOMENTS LATER

In the basement, the evil CAT monster can be seen slowly approaching EUSTACE and MURIEL.

MURIEL
(Screaming.)
AAHHH! HELP!

COURAGE
(Appearing with DOCTOR JEKYLL.)
Stop right there, you felis domesticus!

COURAGE backs away slightly as the CAT hisses at him, but remembers that MURIEL is in trouble, and heads for the CAT with a determined look on his face.

COURAGE (CONT'D)
Well, what are you waiting for?

The CAT looks down at him, very close to eating him whole.

COURAGE (CONT'D)
Uh, Doc?

DOCTOR JEKYLL can be seen rummaging through his bag.

COURAGE (CONT'D)
(Frantic.)
Doc, in case you didn't hear me the first time, I said 'what are you waiting for?!'

The CAT turns to DOCTOR JEKYLL, who quickly injects it right in its tail with an antidote, sending it back to normal size with a squeak.

COURAGE (CONT'D)
Ha!
(Looks down at the CAT.)

DOCTOR
(Frees MURIEL and EUSTACE.)
I'm dreadfully sorry for my cat's cruel behavior. It was an untested formula, and it accidentally got spilled onto...
(Notices EUSTACE's bad condition.)
Um, I normally don't do this, being against code and all, but I couldn't help but notice your
husband's poor condition.
(Opens his bag again.)
I've just developed this new formula, and, if you want, you're welcome to try it out...

EUSTACE grabs it, interrupting, and swallows it in one gulp, despite COURAGE's protests.

COURAGE
Ooh, you shouldn't have done that...

COURAGE prepares himself for the worst, but nothing happens, save the disappearance of Eustace's symptoms.

COURAGE (CONT'D)
Whew!
(Wipes his brow in relief.)
