InT. bedroom, morning

JASON is buttoning his shirt and getting ready to feed the cats.

Jason

Ok fellas, scoot so that I can feed Nikki. 

(brief pause)

Where's Nikki? Uh oh-- is she still in the music room?

He walks to the music room, where sure enough the door is closed. 

JASON (CONT'D)

(opening the door)

I'm sorry, Nikki! I bet you ate all your food, though. 

(checks the bowl)

Well, not quite. 

Nikki

Mew?

JASON

I know, I'm sorry.

NIKKI

Mew?

JASON

No, I don't know how Opie got out and you didn't. 

Nikki walks away, heading downstairs.

JASON (CONT'D)

Okay, go get a drink of water. I'll see you later.
