Cinderella the Cat Page #6

---

I'm gonna kill you.

We'll see if that teaches you.

The girl's coming with me.

My Barbarella!

One of the most important pages

of my life is about to be written

but also about this ship,

this port and this city.

You need to know that marriage

is not just an act of love.

No, no, no!

It's a contract, it's serious.

Of course

sometimes,

it's like a bill of exchange.

But I figured this out

some time back:

marriage is the only true instrument

of social revolution.

Mama, they had guns,

they took us by surprise.

Kill the Cat,

she's been nothing but a curse on us,

she's brought us nothing but trouble.

Mama

You kill her.

Keep away.

I've waited 15 years

for this day to come.

Look.

Look!

You were supposed to be here, in

their place, that's what I'd decided.

And I was supposed

to be in your shoes.

That's how it was supposed to be,

it was all arranged.

I found a rich, cultured,

intelligent man

who loved me.

But I wanted the King!

And the King wanted me.

And so I did everything

I was supposed to do.

I was impeccable,

15 years, 15, always impeccable.

But I got one thing wrong

I made your father's same mistake.

I gave my trust.

And now it's all over, little one.

You're only guilty of one thing:

you stayed here.

This ship has to disappear forever.

Now I'm going to go down

to the fuel room

and I'm going to blow everything up,

because I've decided nobody

here is to be saved.

But you need to do

one last thing for me.

Do you feel up to it?

There's a blackbird in my room,

your father gave it to me

thinking I'd like it.

But how could the poor man know

anything about me?

I kept the blackbird all these years

only because it stopped singing,

that's the only reason

I didn't kill it.

But now

Life's so strange

now I want it to be

the only one to survive.

But it needs to fly far away,

it mustn't set foot back

in this shithole of a city.

Bye, little one.

Calm down, we'll see in midnight

with a piece written by the Shaman,

it's called "Bad Grass".

But I've made it mine

because I'm the King.

Go, Shaman!

The Shaman is therapeutic.

I'm the foulest of weeds

Rest assured, you can't kill me

I was born clean, I swear it

but you'd rather not listen.

I'm a filthy weed

Good luck trying to kill me.

Mr. Basile

Forever waiting for a falling leaf

to drift by and visit me

My ears are sewn shut

I've no eyes, I've no mouth

But the inner workings of people's

minds are no secret to me

My ears are sewn shut

I don't see, I won't tell

But I've grasped the thoughts

of the people of the world

I rely on myself

I'm nothing but crabgrass

I'm stuck to this wall, rigid with

fear and I can't even scream

I long for a storm

to blow me away

to blow me away to a far away place

then I'll finally breathe

My ears are sewn shut

I've no eyes and no mouth

But the inner workings

of people's minds are no secret to me

My ears are sewn shut

I don't see, I won't tell

But I've grasped the thoughts

of the people of the world

We're here but the hatch is stuck.

Let's try from the other side.

My ears are sewn shut

I don't see, I won't tell

But the inner workings of people's

minds are no secret to me

My ears are sewn shut

I don't see, I won't tell

But I've grasped the thoughts

of the people of the world

There aren't any bodies, down there

they've cleaned everything up.

I'm the foulest of weeds,

Can't be rid of me easy

I was born clean, I swear

but you'd rather not listen.

I've managed to activate it,

I'm looking for the girl.

Can't be rid of me easy

Forever waiting for a falling leaf

to drift by and visit me

It's all about to blow up, they're

laying waste to the fuel area!

Evacuate the ship, immediately!

How the f*** does this thing turn on?

Red alert! All passengers

are to leave the ship at once!

There's a fire in the fuel room.

Stay calm, stay calm!

It's just some cop who's got it

into his head to ruin my party,

but he's a nobody!

He's a guy who likes to play pranks.

Where the f*** are you going?

Where the f*** are you going?

Sit down!

Sit down! Sit down!

And if I pause for a beat

and I can almost picture

a way to reinvent the world

that's more serene, more cheerful,

more authentic

though by no means free from harm.

What's "I can't find her" mean?

I don't give a f*** about the ship,

you've got to find the girl!

I found her! I found the girl!

I'm going to get her

from the east wing.

Where the f*** are those idiots

who were supposed to bring her to me?

And now let the real party begin!

Inspector, I'm abandoning ship.

We're going down like the Titanic!

Someplace, somewhere,

we'll say farewell

Someplace, elsewhere, on me

you'll dwell

Without love, push forwards

just the same

but bring me back immediately

but bring me immediately

to where we left off

Where were we, where?

I drift between

the beginning and the end

over the wharves

at the edge of the world

where we used to sit and gaze

at our lives as they slipped by

Mezzarecchia, if you leave

before you find her,

I swear by my own name

Little one

where were you?

I was worried about you.

Everything's about to blow up

thanks to that madman.

What are you doing with that gun?

And where are your shoes?

What's this supposed to mean?

You wanna play games

with this shitstorm going on?

Without love, we push forward just

the same and so, take me back now

Bring me to where we were

Where were you when all was black

As I lit another candle

to the Virgin Mary?

Without love, we push forwards

just the same

It's all over, we gotta go.

So tell me now, tell me where are we?

We're on board a ship, sailing faraway

But without love, where can we go

where can we go, where?
