SCENE 7
Cat stuck in tree.
12:20 pm.
Clemmy walks over to greet Dep. Jones and Dep. Williams, who just pulled up. They walk over to everyone and look up as a group to assess
the situation.
Weigel holds up some cat treats for the kitty, continuing to call to it.
Clemmy: "Trudy, where did you get cat treats?"
No one answers or pays any attention to the question.
Garcia walks up and joins the group, standing in the back and not saying much.
Dangle: "Did anyone call the fire department?"
Junior: "Yeah, they got like, ladders and stuff." He scratches his head.
Everyone looks around innocently.
Williams: "What about animal control?"
Jones: "We can handle this, we don't need them, come on guys."
Everyone stands around silent for a minute looking around and up at the
cat. The cat continues to meow.
Williams: "Jones, get up there and get him down! You know you can climb
a tree, go on!"
Jones stares at her and shakes his head slowly.
Junior picks up a rock and throws it into the tree. It hits the branch,
bounces off, and almost hits Williams in the head. She shoots a glare at
Junior, who shrugs and steps back.
Garcia: "Oh for God's sake!!"
Garcia proceeds to take out his gun and quickly with one shot takes it
down. It falls down out of the tree onto the sidewalk, dead. Weigel stands
stunned with treats still in hand. Clemmy screams. Dangle looks at
Garcia with a shocked look on his face and Jones stands with his hands in the air questioningly.
Garcia (in defense): "WHAT???"
