4INT. BEAR'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - MOMENTS LATER

The coffee table is shoved aside. Bear, wearing rubber gloves and a dust mask, opens a trash bag over the cat's corpse.

Bear drops the now HEAVY trash bag into a trash can.

On his hands and knees, he scrubs grease and wax from the carpet. His phone rings in another room.
