JOE:

22! I didn’t know I had claws,

okay? Look, I’m sorry, but come on,

let’s go.

But 22 is overwhelmed.

22

Mm mm. No way. I am staying right

here until your stupid body dies!

Which will happen any minute now,

because your stomach is

earthquaking.

Joe is confused for a beat, then understands. He gets an

idea.

INT. PIZZERIA.

Steaming slices of pizza sit under heat lamps. A cat paw

grabs one.

EXT. NEW YORK --SIDEWALK. DAY.

Joe carries the slice. He passes a RAT walking in the

opposite direction, also carrying its own slice of pizza.

They both stop, regard one another, shrug, then continue on.

EXT. NEW YORK --DOOR STOOP. DAY.

22 watches Joe approach with the slice.

22

This place is worse than I thought.

It's loud and bright and-

(sniff sniff)

What is that in my nose?

JOE:

That’s smell.

22’s eyes widen slightly.

JOE:

And if you think that’s good, just

imagine what it tastes like.

He walks forward to give it to 22.

JOE:

Go on.

22 takes the pizza and bites, eyes widening instantly.

WE ZIP INSIDE JOE’S BODY --to see 22, as a soul, careen

joyfully around inside Joe:

22

It’s soooooo good!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!

CUT TO:

BACK OUTSIDE:

22

It’s not... horrible.

JOE:

Good! You can eat on the way, let’s

go.

But 22 chows down, completely enthralled by pizza.

JOE:

Or you just take a few minutes.

Sure.

22 finishes, licking her fingers.

22

Strange. I don’t feel so angry

anymore.

JOE:

That’s great. Ready to find

Moonwind?

22

Maybe.

EXT. NEW YORK STREET

Calmer, 22 now gnaws on a gyro, making slow progress. Joe Cat

rides impatiently on her shoulders.

22

I’m telling you, Joe, it’s

pronounced Yee-row!

JOE:

Yeah, but in New York, we call ‘em

Gyros. It’s Greek.

22

Nah, I got in a fight with

Archimedes about this. He said it’s-

SMASH CUT TO:

FLASHBACK --AT THE YOU SEMINAR, 22 and ARCHIMEDES argue:

ARCHIMEDES:

Yee-row.

22

YO-YO?

ARCHIMEDES:

YEE-row.

22

YO-LO?

ARCHIMEDES:

Yee-ROW!

22

Sergio?

ARCHIMEDES:

YEE-ROW!

CUT TO:

BACK TO SCENE:

22

(reminiscing)

I miss that guy.

They come to an intersection.

JOE:

This is 14th and 7th.

Across the street, they spot Moonwind twirling his sign,

headphones in his ears, eyes closed and in the zone.

JOE:

That’s gotta be him.

22 drops her gyro and bolts across traffic to Moonwind. She

grabs him.

22

Moonwind! You gotta help me!

CUT TO:

EXT. ASTRAL PLANE --MOONWIND’S SHIP.

Soul-Moonwind is sailing his ship when he’s suddenly YANKED

from deck and pulled back down to Earth.

MOONWIND:

Whoaaa!

CUT TO:

BACK TO SCENE:

Moonwind’s eyes open as he “wakes up” from the zone. He looks

at 22.

MOONWIND:

Joe! You made it into your body!

22

No, he didn’t!

JOE:

THAT is my body!

JoeCat points to 22. Moonwind can understand him.

MOONWIND:

You’re in a cat?! That’s marvelous!

MARGE (O.S.)

Hey Moonwimp!

Behind them an angry STORE OWNER emerges from the store.

MARGE:

That sign won’t spin by itself,

hear me?

MOONWIND:

But Marge! Look! I put this man’s

soul in a cat!

MARGE:

Who cares?

(to 22)

And you. We only have room for one

weirdo here, so scram!

The Store Owner goes back inside. Moonwind picks up his sign.

MOONWIND:

(grumbles to himself)

No one understands my art...

Moonwind gets back to spinning as Joe gestures:

JOE:

Moonwind, listen! I gotta get out

of HERE and back in THERE!

MOONWIND:

Oh! Well we’ll have to perform an

old fashioned astral transmigration

displacement.

JOE:

A what?

MOONWIND:

It’s simply a way to get your souls

back where they belong! And it’s a

glorious ritual indeed, full of

chanting, dancing, and best of all,

bongos!

JOE:

I need to be at The Half Note by 7,

so this needs to happen right now!

MOONWIND:

Woah woah woah. Not so fast! You

must wait for another thin spot to

open between Earth and the Astral

Plane. And that won’t occur until

Orcus moves into the House of

Gemini!

JOE:

When is that?

MOONWIND:

Well, the government calls it 6:30.

Look, I’ll meet you at The Half

Note.

JOE:

6:
30? You’re serious?

MOONWIND:

I’ll even gather all of the

necessary provisions-

The angry Store Owner suddenly comes at them.

MARGE:

I said get out of here! Go!

Scared, 22 runs off with Joe on her shoulders.

22

AAHHHH!

MOONWIND:

See you at The Half Note at 6:30!

I’ll take care of everything!

MARGE:

And stay away!

INT. HALL OF RECORDS.

Terry the Accountant continues to rifle through the endless

file drawers.

TERRY:

(muttering to herself)

Sure are a lot of Garcias in here.

Terry slams shut a drawer and looks into the distance, at the

millions of files still to go.

TERRY:

You’re out there somewhere, little

soul. And I’m going to find you.

EXT. NEW YORK STREET --LATER

22 turns the corner, nibbling on another slice. Joe still on

her shoulders.

JOE:

All right, this is the last snack!

I can barely fit into my pants as

it is. 6:
30 is cutting it close.

Too close. We gotta get back to my

place and get you cleaned up and

ready to go.

Joe instinctively tries cleaning himself, but catches

himself:

JOE:

BLECK! Ugh. We gotta hail a cab.

Hold your hand out. Hold it up and

out.

22 tries hailing a cab. But they speed by, not stopping.

JOE:

This would be hard even if I wasn't

wearing a hospital gown.

A cab finally stops a few yards away, about to let out

passengers.

JOE:

Go! Go go go! Just run to that one!

22 hobbles over to the cab door just as it opens. They

suddenly come face to face with Dorothea Williams, the cab’s

departing passenger.

JOE:

AHH!

Curley and Miho get out on the other side and GASP at 22.

Dorothea looks over 22, in stained hospital gown and gnawing

on a slice without a care.

DOROTHEA:

Is that...Teach!?

22

(mouth full)

No, it’s pepperoni.

Horrified, Joe SHOVES 22 inside the cab, pushing 22’s head

down. The cab takes off.

Dorothea, Curley and Miho watch the cab drive off. Dorothea

turns to Curley, angry.

EXT. QUEENS SIDEWALK. DAY.

22 and Joe come out of the cab, walking up to an apartment

building Queens.

JOE:

Ugh! Dorothea Williams saw me! What

am I going to do!? She’s gonna

think I’m crazy!

Maybe you should call her up and

tell her that we’re not crazy!
