Three scientists — Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli— and their assistant Igor, who work at NASAL, begin to take an interest in creationism. Their superiors, concerned, send them to a psychologist, Professor Faggioli, a questionable character determined to get them fired by making them seem insane.
We’re in Professor Faggioli’s office, where Raviolino is talking about his childhood, when he used to hide his after-school fish in his backpack to avoid eating it.
Ravioli was telling the story of the cat that always managed to find the fish in his backpack, no matter where he hid it.
Ravioli: Anyway, one day I hid the backpack on top of the bookshelf.
Faggioli: An unreachable spot.
Raviolino: Not for the cat. This time it was more disastrous than usual.
Faggioli: Go on…
We flash back to the moment of the episode.
We’re in Raviolino’s living room. It’s Thursday evening, and Dad walks in and approaches the bookshelf.
Raviolino (to himself): On top of the bookshelf! Perfect. Let’s see if that cat can get there!
Dad grabs a book from the shelf.
Dad: Finally, some peace and a good book.
He sits in an armchair, right under the bookshelf.
Dad: Nothing good on TV tonight. Better dive into something serious.
Raviolino sits nearby, worried. Silence. Faint noises from above. Dad keeps reading. Scratching sounds are heard.
The cat appears at the top of the bookshelf. Its little paws work their way into the backpack, unzipping it. Bits of fish start to fall to the floor.
Raviolino: Oh no! I don’t believe it!
A piece of rotten fish lands on his dad’s head. Dad scratches it off, letting it fall to the floor.
Dad: These flies! Didn’t we use bug spray?
Raviolino sneaks in quietly, trying not to be noticed. He watches the cat fussing with the backpack.
Raviolino (to himself): No… no… it’s making too much noise…
Another piece falls.
Mom (from another room): What’s that noise?
Dad: Nothing, honey. Just a curious cat.
Raviolino (whispers): I have to do something… fast…
Igor: Raviolino just wanted to hide that putrid backpack from the cat!
🤣🤣🤣
Heh heh! But he ended up placing it right two meters above his clueless dad’s head.
🤣🤣🤣
Poor Raviolino! Now the cat was about to expose all his lies for everyone to see… and bring his whole castle of deception crashing down on him…
…while a pound and a half of moldy cod was about to come crashing down, right on his dad’s bald spot!
🤣🤣🤣
