Wright Stuff

Scene 34 from Shriek IV. The pet human Leo keeps is a mite scratchy because Leo says it will rain on Monday when she plans to go paragliding for the first time.

Leo: And you may think it's a piece of cake but it's not quite as easy as it looks.


Leo's human: How would you know? You never go as far as the Slopes. At least you've never said.


Leo: Oh I've been. I've flown further than you could imagine. My instructor praised me for having a nice touch on the reins.


Leo's human: Reins? Ha! They're called brake lines, not reins.


Leo: Whatever. Anyway, you have to be made of the Wright stuff to fly.

Leo's human: And land.

Leo: And land lightly. Something we Four-Foots can manage more gracefully than you Two-Foots.

Not all quadrupeds. I'd like to see a hippopotamus land gracefully.

Yeah, it has something to do with the unbearable lightness of being.... a cat.
