so all I’ve got is this vaguely remembered scene in my mind of a woman describing a scenario where there is a fire and you can save a cat or a Rembrandt. Beginning to cry she moans something like “you would save the cat!”
In my sketchy memory she is talking about this as a metaphor for some actual situation in her life where she didn’t “save the cat” and knows she made the wrong choice.
I think she is with a group of people, though not all of them are listening to her, and for some reason I seem to remember she is a lesbian.
Oh weird, just as I am typing this I am remembering hearing Mike Birbiglia talk about a screenwriting trick named “save the cat” to make a character more likable. Coincidence???
