## Trivia

* This is the first episode to feature *Call Me Kat Theme*.
* This series is an American version of ITV's *Miranda* by Miranda Hart. It ran for 4 seasons and 20 total episodes.
* When talking about her pantsuit, Kat rails against fashion shows who accost people on the street and tell them what to wear. Mayim Bialik was one such person when she was featured on "What Not To Wear."
* The scene of Phil and Kat making little people out of fruit is a reference to a running joke on the original British series.
* Kat's story about her fake children Orlando and Bloom is taken directly from the pilot episode from the original British series.

* This is the series premiere of *Call Me Kat*.
* This is the first episode to air in 2021 in the United States.
* On Sunday, January 3, 2021, when *Call Me Kat* was added to Fox's primetime lineup at 8:00/7:00c, this was the first episode to be broadcast on Fox in the United States.

Quotes
*[First lines of the series]*
**Kat**: Oh. You're early. Or I'm late. Either way, hello. I'm glad you're here. Let me, uh, get you caught up to speed. Earlier in the week, my mother came to me in a panic.
**Sheila**: Katherine?!
**Kat**: Mom, you scared the tea out of me.
**Sheila**: Tara's renewing her vows. I wanted to make sure you're okay.
**Kat**: Why wouldn't I be okay?
**Sheila**: Because your best friend's getting 2 weddings, and you've never had one. *(whispering)* And you're 39.
**Kat**: *(whispering)* Why are we whispering?
*[The scene cuts right to Kat in the kitchen with her coffee on the table.]*
**Kat**: Oh. Thought I had more time. My mother's been extra worried about my single status since my father died, which was super hard on both of us.
**Sheila**: *(crying)* I want to go to sleep and never wake up.
**Kat**: *(crying)* I think I want to open a cat café.
*[The scene cuts right to Kat talking about a cat café.]*
**Kat**: So, I did. I quit my unfulfilling job as a math professor, and I opened Kat's Cat Café, where I have 2 great employees who are super helpful.
*[The scene cuts right to Kat, Phil, and Randi at the cat café.]*
**Kat**: Whoever thinks of a good name for our new cat, gets an extra paid sick day.
**Phil**: How about pudding, 'cause I could just eat him with a spoon?
**Randi**: How about firework, 'cause it looks like one exploded in his ass?
**Phil**: Ooh! I like that.
**Kat**: That's pretty good.
*[The scene cuts right to Kat sitting on the couch with her pet cat.]*
**Kat**: I think he's purr-fect. Now on with our show.

**Kat**: One root beer, please.
**Max**: I'll be with you in a minute, sir.
**Kat**: Not the first time that's happened. Due to my low, resonant voice, I often get mistaken for a man on the phone. And once on video chat.
**Max**: Oh, I am so sorr-- Kat?
**Kat**: Max? *(laughing)* No way! Hot Max?
**Max**: Oh.
**Kat**: That was meant for you. So, how are you? What are you doing with your life?
**Max**: I just got back into town, and Carter gave me a job so I'd have an answer to questions like that.
**Carter**: Hey, do not let her behind the bar. She likes to play with the soda gun.
**Kat**: I wasn't playing with it. I was inventing a new drink.
**Carter**: I don't go to your café and invent new cats. You know what list you're on.
**Kat**: It's not a good list.

**Kat**: No, that's quite enough.
**Sheila**: You can't handle it.
**Kat**: Give it to me.
**Sheila**: I don't think you should...
**Kat**: Mom, stop.
*[Sheila spills wine all over Kat's pantsuit. Kat's pantsuit is wet.]*
**Kat**: My pantsuit!

**Kat**: She rents this hall, she wears a big white stupid dress, she invites 200 people, but she doesn't want to make a scene. Okay!
*[The waitress spills wine all over Kat's pantsuit. Kat's pantsuit is wet, again.]*
**Kat**: My pantsuit! Again?!
