WAFFLES: What are you thinking about, Boss?
KATIE: I'm just thinking about how lucky we are, Waffles.
WAFFLES: Did we win a prize or something?
KATIE: You could say that.
WAFFLES: Did it come in a nice box?
KATIE: No Waffles, what we have doesn't come in a box.
KATIE: Waffles, the things that really matter don't come in boxes. Things like friends, family, freedom. Most of all love.
WAFFLES: I love YOU, Boss. And Glogirly and Gloman and chicken. And wand toys. Definitely wand toys.
KATIE: Waffles, long before you were born, even before I was born, there was a terrible tragedy in our country. Lots of people, animals too, lost their loved ones. Nearly 3.000 people died. And all because of things like intolerance and hatred.
WAFFLES: I don't know what those words mean, Boss.
KATIE: That's ok, Waffles. There are too many people, even cats, that do.
In honor of those who lost their lives, and those who live with that loss.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
