Chapter 3: Prologue: Jellicle songs for Jellicle Cats Part 2.
[Grrr, oh it doesn't matter!]
{What doesn't matter?}
[Nothing! Now shut up and sing the chorus!]
"Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do
Jellicles do and Jellicles would
Jellicles would and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do,"
[Yay! My turn!]
"Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?"
{Whoa! Nice tush sis!}
[Shut up or I'm going to kick you somewhere dark.]
"Familiar with candle?"
"With book and with bell?"
{[We are.]}
"Were you Whittington's friend?"
[I was!]
"The Pied Piper's assistant?"
{I was!}
"Have you been an alumnus of Heaven and Hell?"
{I didn't think Tumble's voice was that low!}
[It isn't! The line in the song is low!]
"Are you mean like a minx?"
{Tanti is!}
[I am not! – only on Tuesdays!]
"Are you lean like a lynx?"
"Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?"
[Not particularly.]
{Whats Cettie doing up there?}
[Getting ready for her swinging thing! And I hope she hits you on the head!]
"Were you there when the Pharaohs commissioned the sphinx?"
{Get that man off the stage!}
[You've been on the internet again haven't you?]
Nods head.
Rolls eyes
{Fanfiction is so cool!}
[But it gives you nightmares about all the freaky pairings!]
{ON WITH THE SHOW!}
[Subtlety thy name is Coricopat.]
"If you were and you are you're a Jellicle cat!"
{OH! That makes ME a Jellicle cat!}
[Oh, brother.]
{You called?}
[Not you!]
"Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats,"
[Here comes Cettie!]
"We can dive through the air!
Like a flying trapeze!"
{Ooh! Ooh! Tanti did that! We were on top of this real tall building, right on the edge and this spider came up behind Tanti and-}
[*Blushes harder than ever* Shush, shush, shush!]
"We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire!
We can run up the walls, we can swing through the trees!
We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire!"
{Walk on wires? That hurts!}
[Dammit! She didn't hit you!]
"Jellicles do and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Jellicles do and Jellicles can
Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats"
{Shake it, shake it, shake it!}
[I thought I told you to STOP reading Playboy!]
{Oops.}
[Into position!]
"Can you sing at the same time in more than one key?"
{That's really funny! Like when Tanti screams at me for doi-}
[JUST SHUT UP!]
"Duets by Rossini?"
"And Waltzes by Strauss?"
{Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh}
[That's the Queen's bit!]
"And can you as cats do, begin with a C?"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
{Oww-ch!}
"That always triumphantly brings down the house!"
{I'll say! Tanti was singing in the shower and then the roof-}
[Grrrrrrrrrrr.]
{Uh-oh.}
