Cinderella the Cat Page #2

- Wait, it must be somewhere.

Maybe it's not in all the crates.

But you can't open them all.

Gemito, your mission ends here.

Inspector, what we're looking for

must be here somewhere.

I'm not giving up, if I don't find it

I'll go aboard and get it back.

Gemito, this is not advice,

it's an order, got that?

The ship's communications

are shielded, there's no contact.

Besides, you have some precedents

in the ship,

the cover wouldn't hold up.

You're behaving unreasonably!

With all due respect, I volunteered

for this job and I'll see it through.

This guy's lost his mind!

This is insubordination,

don't you realize? I'm calling you

back to order for the last time!

Hey, Prince Charming!

What the f*** are you up to?

F*** off, James,

you gave me a fright.

Get your hands off that!

Damned all be the Chinamen!

Don't sweat it.

We'll just tell them it fell.

What's in that head of yours? Sh*t?

You'll get us in trouble!

There are 100 more crates, they won't

notice if we take a few grams.

Think again, Prince Charming!

You can't pull one over on the King!

He knows how to make shoes properly,

he's no Chinaman!

He hides the stuff real good.

A**hole!

What time is the King arriving?

- How thrilling that he's coming.

- Let's hope he makes it on time.

So exciting!

Wow, my legs are trembling!

Boy, am I gorgeous tonight!

Listen to her!

When the King sees me,

he'll change his mind and marry me.

Fatty!

Maybe he'll change sides

and marry me instead!

Go ahead and laugh, you broomstick!

The King likes flesh,

besides he's a man, not a f*ggot!

I refuse to get shot because of you.

I'll speak to them

and then you can deal with it.

First of all, Chinaman, you better see

if they understand you when you talk.

Secondly

shut up!

I already told you that Chinamen

don't have the light to speak.

This pipsqueak thinks he gets a say!

Leave it, James.

He knows if he talks

the three of us have had it.

We've had it anyway

thanks to your lubbish.

"Your lubbish!"

"Your lubbish!"

Chinaman, I'll see that you've damn

well had it if you don't shut up!

You're pissing yourself, huh?

F*** you, James!

To hell with all the Chinese

except Bruce Lee.

He was cool, unlike you!

Guys, look!

The King's shoes, fairytale shoes.

Perfect, refined, cut out for you.

They're almost here.

I didn't understand, I can't hear

A clean job, got it.

Are you crazy? Not all three!

James is on board too, he's cool,

he's a friend.

All right then

I won't make a big deal about it.

As you wish

Piece of sh*t!

- What did he say, James too?

- Yeah.

That's bullshit, he's cool,

I can vouch for him.

- That's what I told him.

- And?

- Couldn't give a sh*t.

- Then we gotta do it.

- I'm kinda sorry.

- Me too.

Still better than where you live.

It's true, you're right.

And this would be

the port of a big city?

What happened to this crate?

You been messing with the crates?

It must have fallen, relax,

we didn't lose anything.

- If it fell, I didn't drop it.

- Hey Scar!

How do I know it's all in order?

Scar, you have my word,

the Chinaman is a butterfingers.

- For pity's sake!

- But it's all in order.

So, it's the Chinaman's fault?

Why doesn't the a**hole speak up?

Because I'm training him well.

I taught him Chinamen

must keep their tlap shut.

F*** you, James.

Nice work!

Chinaman, if there's anything

missing in here

Got it?

Enough of this bullshit,

that f***ing crate was opened by

No two ways about it,

these f***ing Chinese

don't wanna complehend.

And now what do we do

with the Chinaman?

Hold on,

I'm still getting over James

Darn you!

Put him in an empty crate

and bring him inside.

You two go to the Ace of Clubs,

I got passes for the balconies

in your names.

- And the Chinaman's pass?

- I've shot him now.

The Chinaman's pass

put it in his coffin, he earned it.

Do you two always need

to make a racket?

Where's that tramp gone, anyway?

Cinderella the Cat?

Who else?

The Cat! The Cat!

Who knows, she's always crawling

through the air ducts.

Maybe she's spying on us,

that nosy tramp!

- Mama!

- Anna, Sofia, Barbara

While Luisa and Carmen

are performing this evening,

there's a little job for you

in the balconies.

A dirty job?

No, this is serious, Sofia.

A clean job.

Don't make me worry,

take precautions.

No, you can't do this to us,

not tonight that the King's here!

It's to please the King

that you must do this job.

Don't worry, we're always ready,

we always do our job.

But Cinderella's got to clean up.

Of course! Now get ready.

Luigi, stick around, in case

one of your sisters needs help.

I'll take care of it, don't worry.

Who's going to pay us now?

The money will be waiting

in the balcony.

What are these balconies?

Where have you been living?

In La La Land?

The balconies are up on top.

That means they bring the show

into your room.

You just have to hope

you don't get the sixth sister.

- Why, what's with the sixth sister?

- She's got a surprise downstairs.

But what do I know,

you might like it.

Gemito, do you copy?

What's wrong, you got a sore throat?

Don't go in there, find an excuse

and come back.

Got a sore throat, Prince Charming?

I got a chill on the rubber boat.

So you wanna go home to your wife?

No, nobody's waiting for me.

He's walking into a death trap.

I shouldn't have given

a delicate job like this to a madcap!

Gemito, you're a moron!

Cinderella!

Cinderella!

As if that cat's gonna answer

You want me to believe

you were already here?

Don't go wandering around,

you're supposed to stay here.

You always say yes,

but then you do as you please.

Help me do up this dress.

Are these your exercises?

Don't tell me

you're pleased with them!

Your handwriting's sh*t.

You should practice more

instead of traipsing around.

Are you done with my dress?

Listen up, little one.

You need to do what I say

and do it well.

Tomorrow you turn 18

and it seems to me that you've

become slightly full of yourself.

Am I right?

No?

Do you take me for a fool?

The fact that you're coming of age

doesn't mean a thing,

because you're an ignorant child,

you can't even sign your own name.

If I didn't look after you,

you'd come to a bad end.

Because as I've already told you,

you're a little girl

with problems, right?

Now listen carefully

to what I tell you to do.

After the six sisters' show,

you must tidy things as you know how.

Is that clear, little one?

Now go and clean up my room.

And remember to wash your hands

before you touch my things.

Give me a good reason

to stay here in this squalor.

What do you want me to say, Gemito?

You're not from here, I get it,

but my family built its fortune

in this city,

in this port.

If I had your intelligence,

I would have tried my luck elsewhere.

Maybe you're smarter, Gemito.

You won't let the past, history,

memory screw you like it did me.

You'll weigh the anchor

and go far away.

I hope I'll know

you're somewhere else next year.
