things i say to my cat
Carlye is outside smoking, Rob is watching Gamera vs. Gaos. Charlie the cat is sitting on his favorite spot on the couch and staring in confusion at the screen. Carlye enters
CHARLIE CAT: Meow
ROB: well yeah it looks silly NOW, but you have to understand, these monster movies really did have a point to them when they first came out. Japan had been devastated by World War II and the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the resulting cancer and mutations afterwords, it was only natural that the storytellers of the time try to put those feelings of confusion and helplessness into their films
CHARLIE CAT: Meow
ROB: well that's because you're only a year old. you can't really understand an entire nation's anguish over something beyond their control. a giant monster from the sea was the most logical personification at the time.
CARLYE: you're so weird
ROB: me?
CARLYE: HE'S A CAT! HE WON'T UNDERSTAND IT NO MATTER HOW OFTEN YOU EXPLAIN IT! I'm a grown ass woman and I don't understand why you watch this shit!
CHARLIE CAT: Meow
