- Geoffrey!
- No! Sidney!

You know, I had the strangest dream.
I dreamt of Cats.
:36:35
(purring and mewing)
:36:37
The movie.
:36:40
Paul... I'm worried.
:36:43
Is it right to make a movie of Cats?
:36:46
I'll tell you why there has to be a movie
of Cats, Ouisa. May I call you Ouisa?
:36:51
Yes.
:36:53
I have no illusions
about the merits of Cats,
:36:55
but the world has been
too heavy with the right- to- lifers -
:36:59
protect the unborn, constitutional
amendments, when does life begin?
:37:04
Or the converse - the end of life, the right
to die. Why is life, at this point in time,
:37:09
so focused upon the very beginning of life
and the very end of life?
:37:14
What about the 80 years we have to live
between those two inexorable book ends?
:37:18
And you can get all that into Cats?
:37:23
We're going to try.
:37:25
Thank you. Thank you.
:37:27
You shall.
:37:33
This is what I dreamt.
I didn't dream, so much as realise this.
:37:37
I feel so close to the paintings.
I'm not just selling, like pieces of meat.
:37:42
I remembered why I loved paintings
in the first place, what got me into this.
:37:46
I thought...
:37:48
dreamt...
:37:51
remembered...
:37:54
how easy it is for a painter
to lose a painting.
:37:57
He paints and paints,
works on a canvas for months,
