whenever he wants.
LAURA: Really? A cat?
LIAM: (snaps)
MATT: You watch as just beneath the table, this
orange patchy tabby leaps up.
MARISHA: Oh, shit! What’s his name?
LAURA: Or her name!
LIAM: Well, it is a he. This is my cat Frumpkin.
Frumpkin, yes.
LAURA: Aw! Can I call him Lumpy?
LIAM: You can call him Frumpkin.
LAURA: Look at this Lumpy! Made in England.
(laughter)
LIAM: That was a little show gift from Marisha, so
this is Frumpkin.
LAURA: That’s so great.
SAM: That’s not all he can do. Caleb, tell them all

(laughter)
MATT: They all slam shut a second time. The light
flickers and then brightens back to its normal place.
LAURA: Ta-da!
MARISHA: Yeah! Yeah!
LAURA: Come see me tonight at the carnival! I’m
really good!
MATT: One really crotchety-looking guy in his
early 50s with a super underbite, probably missing
most of his teeth, just goes–
(laughter)
LIAM: I telepathically tell Frumpkin to jump up
and sit in the lap of the woman in the monk’s
robes who just made a big scene and hopefully keep
her occupied with being cute.
MATT: Okay. As soon as you sit down, Frumpkin

MARISHA: Hey, buddy. Look at this kitty! I think
