I'm turning you into a cat.

You always put us in a very awkward situation here.

Very awkward because it's a very private moment.

Scene one, take one.

Yeah, I'm just about to lose the cat.

Okay, here's evidence.

You're seeing, look what you've done.

She isn't going to cooperate.

Okay, this is my cat.

I got her last July.

She's very affectionate.

And cuddly and as anyone can see, she can't get enough of me.

She loves to spend time with me.

And you have to ask me questions.

She's never going to stick around.

Couldn't you put it on the floor? If it was on the floor, you could just refocus.

Beautiful pussy cat.

Going through what is one of her most favorite experiences.

It's nothing little cat.

Okay, now you have to tell me about her.

Okay, this is Mitty, our cat.

Her real name is Meheravel.

And we've had her for a year.

And she's a lovely, lovely animal.

Cooperative, friendly, sweet.

She's especially nice when we have company.

This will be an end slate.

She's especially nice when we have company.

When she comes out and sits with everyone.

She's such a pretty little cat.

The cat is gone.

When I roll it, do take three.

Just do it right in front of your face.

You do take three and then clap.

And you know, pull your hands apart when you clap.

Hold your fingers up.

That's the reason we can see.

Okay, do I have to do anything else? Keep talking.

You have to ask me something.

Tell me about your new place.

Oh, my new place.

Oh, it's so exciting because Ron and I are going to be moving to a new loft in about 25 days or something like that.

And it's this wonderful new loft in Turner's Row.

And we don't know if any of our furniture is going to look nice, but we're not letting that bother us.

And all we have to do is rent this place.

Now this place was a wonderful apartment that we're going to miss.

Hold that thought.

More with the loft.

Okay, it's this great loft and it's, we're moving in and it's very exciting.

We're not absolutely sure that our office will fit or anything like that, but we really like it and we love Turner's Row.

We've been living in Chicago for three years and now we're doing a documentary about murals.

And I'm very upset that in my chance here to be on film, I look like a slouch.

And I wish my cat would come back.

Midi, come here.

That's all the film? Gosh, that's not very much.
