(Jack quietly climbs up the haystacks to the hot hayloft. He unlocks the window and squeezes through it. There he sees the most beautiful pup ever, the one from this morning. She's writing and panting. Jack right behind her.)
BOWERY PIGS (Sung)
Don't come a-knocking on my pen
JACK (Recognizing Katherine)
Hello again.
KATHERINE (Turning to face Jack, slightly perturbed)
This is a private loft.
JACK
What, you want me to lock the window? Twice in one day. Think it's fate?
KATHERINE (Annoyed)
Go away, I'm working.
JACK (Curiously)
A working pup, huh?
[He gets closer to Katherine.]
Doing what?
KATHERINE (Pawing at Jack)
Reviewing the show for The Bark York Sun.
JACK (Excitedly finding common ground)
Hey! I work for The World.
KATHERINE (With mock excitement)
Somewhere out there, someone cares. [She points down below]
Go tell them!
JACK
The view is better here.
KATHERINE (Seriously)
Please go. I am not in the habit of speaking to strangers.
JACK
Well, then you're gonna make a lousy reporter. The name's Jack Belly.
KATHERINE (Sassily)
Is that what is says on your rap sheet?
JACK
A smart pup, huh? I admire smart pups.
[He slowly leans closer to her as he goes on.]
Beautiful, smart, independent--
KATHERINE (Pushing him away, highly annoyed)
Do you mind?
RANDOM GOAT (Yelling from a stall)
Pipe down, up there!
MEDDA (From outside)
You got in for free! At least pay attention.
JACK (Whispering)
I'm sorry, Miss Medda.
JACK (Sung)
I got no use for moonlight
Or a sappy love story
Love at first sight's for suckers,
At least it used to be.
Look, girls are nice, once or twice
'Til I find someone new. But,
I never planned on no one like you.
[Jack grabs some of Katherine's paper and starts to do mud art of her]
BOWERY PIGS AND JACK (Sung while the Bowery Pigs dance)
Don't come a knockin' on my pen (I got no use)
You aren't welcome there no more (for moonlight)
I should have known you (Or a sappy)
Stunk like yesterday's trash (love story)
The night you stole my heart
Plus all of my best mud
Turns out my beau is just some bum (Love at first sight's)
Turns out that love ain't blind, it's dumb (for suckers)
You're as stupid as a fish and you look so foul (At least it used)
You kiss like a frog and your as brave as a rat (To be)
I won't be sleeping by your side
KATHERINE (Looking at Jack)
(Anymore, no sir) What are you doing?
JACK
Hey! Hey! Quiet down. There's a show going on.
KATHERINE (Angrily)
(Don't come a-knocking) You are the most impossible pup-
JACK
Shhh! (On my pen)
KATHERINE (Whispering)
Ever.
BOWERY PIGS (Sung)
Don't come a knocking on my Pen!
Don't come a knocking on my Pen! (No, I never planned on no one like you)
[Jack places the mud work down and walks to the window. He bows to Katherine and climbs out. Katherine notices the mud work, she clears her papers to get a better look. She smiles at the mud work of her.]
