[Mary comes on, tense-looking, unhappy, in her now-messy living room that look slike it was just torn apart carelessly.]

I have a serious problem with my home getting raided for a crime I don’t have any connection to.

[Offscreen, there’s some unfortunate clanging noise, followed by some familiar Bronx-accented shouting.] JUST TRY ‘N GET IN HERE, I DARE YOU. HEY YOU. YOU WANT SOME OF THIS? [CLANG. Those may or may not be Mary’s pots. This may or may not be Mary rubbing her temple exhaustedly.]

...Anyway. As I was saying, I’m a citizen, I have rights. Is there- [CLANG.

Oh yeah, Meowth’s still.... going at it. CLANG. CLANG. PG-rated obscenity. CLANG. CLANG. Children’s show-level insult about someone’s mother having the face only a Dunsparce would love or something.] Hah! That’ll teach you not to mess with- Huh? [WHAT IS THAT? IS THAT SCREAMING? IS THAT SCREAMING GETTING FAINTER? DID MEOWTH JUST FALL OFF THE FREAKIN’ BALCONY?

...Possibly.]

Oh, for the love of-

[EXIT STAGE MARY. Cue the distant sound of struggle, Meowth’s familiar Bronx-accented voice, Mary calling out. She comes back in less than a minute. Never has there been a liner face than hers.]

Okay, so I was going to talk about getting treating like a second-class citizen and, I don’t know, some kind of legal options for us, but instead I have to go bail my cat out of jail.

Well, why not.

Bail on cats. This place is quite silly.

[momchester]

Well. He is a Newcomer.

[doeswhathewants]

I wonder if they would allow a cat to become a citizen.

To vote! How would he vote. Cats don't have thumbs.

[momchester]

Meowth is different. He sort of has them.

[doeswhathewants]

How does one sort of have thumbs? That seems like an all or nothing kind of deal.

[momchester]

Claws. They're claws. [Don't give her that kind of sass, young man.] They're opposable.

[doeswhathewants]

How does one have opposable claws, then? [Note the limited amount of sass this time.]

[momchester]

You can ask him yourself.

[doeswhathewants]

He's in jail. You have a naughty cat.

[momchester]

Honestly, I don't blame him.

[doeswhathewants]

Me either.

None of what they're allowed to do is fair.

[momchester]

The only reason they can get away with it is that we don't stay long enough to organize an actual rebellion.

[doeswhathewants]

This is true. Perhaps if more registered to vote we could go about it legally.

[momchester]

If you like doing things the slow way.

[doeswhathewants]

That is me. Slow and legal.

[momchester]

.....Right. When I think of you, the first thing I think is legal.

[doeswhathewants]

I have turned over a new leaf. Law abiding citizen.
