Sexual harassment and assault rife at United Nations, staff claim
The Guardian ^ | 01/18/2018 | Rebecca Ratcliffe

Doom of the Cat Men




 

Jonathan: Look. Put five men dressed like cats on the screen, what do they look like?

Fred: Like five men dressed like cats.

 Jonathan: When an audience pays to see a picture like this, what are they paying for?

Fred: To get the pants scared off of 'em.

Jonathan: And what scares the human race more than any other single thing?

[crosses to wall switch and turns out the light]

Fred: The dark!

Jonathan: Of course. And why? Because the dark has a life of its own. In the dark, all sorts of things come alive.

Fred: Suppose... suppose we never do show the cat men. Is that what you're thinking.

Jonathan: Exactly.

Fred: No cat men!
