Cinderella the Cat Page #4

---

To save you?

Here, look at this.

I've kept it all these years,

it belongs to you.

It seems like yesterday, searching

the corridors for it hand in hand.

Your father was waiting for us and

Everything was supposed to go

very differently.

I found it in my pocket when I left

this ship for the last time

and I've often wondered

if it was my memory

or that little girl

playing tricks on me.

Gemito, do you copy?

- Yes, I'm here, Inspector!

- Here where?

In the ship's hold.

It's a cemetery down here.

They'll grant us a search warrant

no doubt

Take all the pictures you can

Do you know how to get out of there?

Yessir, there's an opening in the

hull, come get me at the old pier.

Copy that. We'll be waiting for you.

Cinderella!

I won't allow you to stay here, even

if you can't understand why now.

I'll be back to get you, Mia.

I'm taking you away from here.

I promise you. Got that, little one?

Cinderella!

Cinderella!

And so I have returned

And now just like we used to

Let us sing that ancient tune

together

Time goes by and the world changes

But true love never goes astray

Is this how you clean my room,

little b*tch?

Is this what Mama told you?

Do you think we're all stupid

like you?

Now clean everything up!

I'll take you to Mama,

that way you can learn your lesson.

With you, my beauty, I fell in love

Do you remember,

in front of the fountain

The water within never runs dry

Like a love wound that never heals

It never heals

Because had it healed

my love

I wouldn't be here to gaze at you

amidst this scented air

And to tell you, my sweetheart

Sweetheart of mine

Spring has returned

and so too has love

Do with me what you will

And here I was

thinking you'd forgotten about me.

You mustn't ever think that.

You disappeared for two years.

Angelica, maybe you don't realize

what we've set up.

Tomorrow at midnight, we, Salvatore

Lo Giusto and Angelica Carannante,

we'll be the richest couple

in the land.

And then, anything you desire,

my love,

even if it's a stupid whim,

we'll buy it anyway.

Money's not everything in life.

What kind of bullshit is that?

It's not bullshit, I know

perfectly well what I'm saying,

I've been making things run here

for 15 years,

keeping this ship up,

looking after that tramp!

You've always sent me money,

and gifts too.

But where were you

when I wanted to sing with you?

Where was my man

when I felt sad and lonely?

I was working, Angelica.

See that blackbird?

Remember how heartily

it would welcome me?

Is that still him? Is he immortal?

It's him, yes,

but he doesn't sing anymore.

He hasn't sung for 15 years.

He must have grown old too.

Come on, I know it hasn't been easy,

for anyone,

but now why are we talking about it?

We've won,

it's time to be happy,

it's time to celebrate.

Mama, this b*tch

hasn't cleaned a f***ing thing.

You oughta

Bow down, b*tch!

Sorry, but I never imagined

It's just that this little b*tch

does things, I swear

Is this what I taught you, Anna?

- No, Mama

- Silence!

Get that filthy tramp

out of my room.

Who's this young thing?

Anna.

The oldest of the six,

don't you recognize her?

Of course, I do.

I meant this other little one.

Her? The trouble

we got landed with 15 years ago.

- This is Mia?

- Yes, she's all yours.

Take this trouble for yourself.

And so, you're little Mia Basile?

What a pretty little mouth.

And what bright eyes!

Doesn't she have really bright eyes?

Who would have thought

you'd grow up so well

given whose daughter you are.

How true

How true.

Well? Why don't you speak?

You're not scared of me, are you?

I told you, the girl was traumatized.

Only natural, look how you're

treating this little gem.

I'm surprised at you,

this little girl is our treasure,

the most precious thing on this ship.

And tomorrow's her birthday.

The little princess is about

to become a woman, huh?

Angelica, give her the suite

on the eastern side.

Fill the room with flowers,

perfume, shoes

and everything that ought to be in

the room of a respectable woman.

And above all,

give her a decent dress,

actually, at least ten,

so she can choose.

I've got to go now, I've got

important international guests.

I don't want any surprises.

Mama! Has Don Salvatore gone mad?

Is he serious?

Salvatore is always serious.

And what are you looking at,

you little slut?

You want a new dress? Yes?

- You want the latest fashion?

- Anna!

- The very latest trend?

- Anna!

Do what the King said.

Go call the errand boy

and tell him what he has to do.

Stop your crying.

You're grounded. Don't move

from here until the blackbird sings.

I love you so much

- Are you done playing the hero?

- No, sir.

Now they have to give us the warrant

and we have to get back in there.

One step at a time, my boy.

First, let's get you

to the infirmary.

Thank you.

The King's wedding!

Tonight at 10:
00pm,

on board the 'Megaride', the Ace

of Clubs Hall. You're all invited.

Do you like how I've set you up?

Why did you turn away?

Do you want me to leave?

This dress looks so good on you,

doesn't it?

Here, let me have your foot.

Don't worry if it's dirty,

I don't care.

It doesn't take much

for me to know a foot,

to understand what it desires.

Do you like shoes, little one?

I'll prepare the most beautiful shoes

for you that have ever been seen.

Your wedding gown will be the envy

of every bride in the world,

and then you'll live

in a dream palace

with a hundred people at your

service, to grant your every wish.

You just have to say yes.

Not now, at a quarter to midnight

my men will come get you

and bring you on stage.

And you'll say it

in front of everyone.

It's fine if you only nod yes.

Do you think you can do it?

Yes?

You're a good girl.

I'll make you the happiest woman

in the world.

It's not just a game.

These holograms are our testament.

I know that many prefer to forget,

you too say you want to leave

what you were behind you,

but you see, Angelica, we're only

the first part of the story.

The best is yet to come.

Mama, the shoes have arrived!

The errand boy

left them in the private room.

He said they're gorgeous!

Come, quickly!

What you refuse to understand

is we're not talking small stuff,

there are huge interests at stake,

pressure from above.

Did you ask yourself

how they knew about the mole?

You mean they're not going

to give us the warrant?

Who the f*** is he? How did

he get out of the ship alive?

And when were you going to tell me

about the warrant?

After the police take a photo

with the cake and the bride?

The warrant will be here any minute,

you mustn't be under any illusions.

Above all it's a police operation,

there mustn't be any personal issues

in the way, got it?

You better spill his name now,

name and surname!

Confidential information, my ass!

If nobody took things personally,

the world would go to the dogs!

The bastard boarded my ship!

As sure as my name's Lo Giusto
