The Maus are sacred to Bast.
They're her messengers.
:46:06
- You wrote this?
- I was a professor for 20 years...
:46:10
...until I was denied tenure.
:46:13
Male academia.
:46:18
Bast is a rarity.
:46:19
A goddess of the moon,
and of the sun.
:46:22
She represents the duality in all women.
Docile, yet aggressive.
:46:27
Nurturing, yet ferocious.
:46:31
But what does all of this
have to do with me? I mean--
:46:34
What happened the other night?
:46:37
- I don't remember.
- Do you want me to tell you?
:46:42
Yes.
:46:43
You died.
:46:46
What?
:46:48
I didn't die. Look at me, I'm right here.
:46:51
You died.
:46:53
- But you were reborn.
- Oh, you're crazy.
:46:56
- You are a crazy cat Iady.
- Midnight knew your fate.
:47:02
That's why she tested you.
:47:07
To see if you were worthy
of a gift she could give you.
:47:10
A gift that could change your Iife...
:47:13
...and give you a new one.
:47:21
You're not alone, child. He's saved
others before you. Look.
:47:31
Catwomen are not contained
by the rules of society.
:47:36
You follow your own desires.
:47:39
This is both a blessing and a curse.
:47:42
You will often be alone
and misunderstood.
:47:46
But you will experience a freedom
other women will never know.
:47:50
You are a catwoman.
Every sight, every smell...
:47:55
...every sound, incredibly heightened.
:47:58
Fierce independence, total confidence,
inhuman reflexes.
