Mann Prime

Newt and Anathema insist on sleeping on top of each other in the huge pet bed in the study. I think I put two invisible pet beds in the same location and they're somehow both usable?

"What do you think? Does Arden need a kitten to go to college with him?"

"Just because I'm willing to talk to you in chat, don't think I've forgotten your behavior. But your father is not getting any younger, and I will not stand in the way of a reconciliation, if you can bring yourself to drop That Woman, find yourself a proper spouse, and come home!" Lana can't say fairer than that. There's no denying that she and Rich might not last until Arden graduates. Or that, when Rich is at work, this house is just too big!

"Welcome home, handsome. Come meet the new kittens."

"Just because I'm a mother doesn't mean you can sass me. Quite the opposite!" "Rawrk! I wasn't sassing! I was existing!"

Spring comes at last, and so do Doomsday and Yardbird's kittens - Anathema and Newt DeVice.

"We'll have to feed them more often, won't we? I wonder if Arden would like one."

Doomsday owns all the cat toys, but fortunately Anathema and Newt have each other to play with.

Stupid maid, leaving while they were stll eating…What do they pay him for, anyway? Well, it's his own fault if they're a nasty job to clean up tomorrow.

"You're going to be the very best kitty daddy and set the kittens a good example, aren't you?" "Mrp?"

"Boop boop boop! Another one boops the nose!"

Yeah, I talk a good game about drama, but will I let Rich go through on any of his murderous thoughts? I will not! I have to do enough of that sort of thing writing stories.

Parties are a great way to liven up the long winter nights.

"Shouldn't we wait for somebody else to show up?" "Just call, boy."

"Boarding school. All the great movers and shakers got their start in boarding school, being looked after by professionals." "Miz Daytona never went to boarding school, and she moved and shaked enough for all us here."

"They're playing our song. 'Cause I asked them to."

"You can be so romantic when you want to be." "You make a guy want to."

"It was that dirty little coward that shot Mr Howard and laid poor Jesse in his grave!"

"Bars are absolutely the best place to meet people, but you need the right ID and I can hook you up."

Lana wonders whether Rich is beginning to regret leaving Bigg City. Not a moment too soon, if he is.

"Howdy, neighbor!" "Officer Indie, how nice." "It's Detecive Indie, actually. I'm in town coordinating with the Bigg City forces." "Do tell."

"Aren't you a little young to get into a bar?" "Nobody stpped me. Are you going to throw me out?" "Hell no, it's no skin off my nose. In fact, why don't I buy you something nice to drink?" "Mommy says not to take drinks from strangers." "I'm not a stranger, you are."

"Mew?" "You poor kitty! You must be freezing!"

"You've got more sense than that silly Doomsday, don't you, Yardbird? You are far and away the most intelligent kitty." "Mew!"

Only the knowledge that it'd make him seem petty prevents Rich from calling a hit on that Laika girl. The fact that she's Arden's cousin and Candy's niece isn't much of a deterrent - they need never know he was responsible.

"You're very solid. Gestating fine kittens for us, are you?" "Prrr."

"Winter's getting me down, old woman. Let's go out on the town!"
