TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO

Jay: You look great thats Armani isnt it ? 'Armani by bunny'. Was this your idea ?


Pat: This was my idea, but I didn't get it for this occasion. I got it for Easter.

Jay: So your into this whole Easter thing ?

Pat: I'm so sick of all the death and slaughtering and mayhem, I thought somebody should wear a bunny suit once in awhile.

Jay: If some more politicians wore bunny suits we would not have so many problems in the world !


Pat: Yeah Exactly.

Jay: You Look great ! Listen someone said, your friend or manager backstage that you had a bone to pick with me, that 'she'll tell you all about it when she gets out there' ?!?!?!


Pat: (Patricia has a serious look) Oh yeah, last time I was here on the show you gave me this millipede and when I looked at it, it had this little scab on its back. And I thought maybe it was some discolouration or something. I took it home and it died. It was a little sad.

Jay: (sarcastically) You have to feed it ?


Pat: (Still a serious look) Oh yeah I fed it, I cut it some grass, I made it an enviroment and everything. It died the next day.

Jay: (sounding truly sad) arrrrrrrrrrrrr


Pat: (still serious) I thought maybe the lights (looks around the studio) or something. I don't know.

Jay: Well I'm sorry, thats too bad. Well I'll have to go back to 'Millipedes R us'. How is your goofy dog ? You had that hairless dog remember the one ?


Pat: Oh he's great. He's in love. I got a new dog on valentines day. I got this little minature dachshund!

Jay: (giggles) Oh they are really good watchdogs ! (sarcastically)


Pat: (in defence) They Are. They were bred to kill ! ferrets to go down a hole.

Jay: Now you husband Nicholas Cage does he like little weany goofy dogs.


Pat: No, but I like it.

Jay: Did he give it to you ?


Pat:Yes for Valentines.

Jay: Well that's true love when a husband buys his wife an annoying pet.


Pat: She is sweet.

Jay picks up some photographs of Patricias dogs at the home. Patricia laughs. Jay shows one of her new doggy dressed up in a dresses. Jay makes a witty comment trying to visualise Nicholas Cage walking the little dog.

Jay: I would love to see Nic with this little fella down the street - 'Hi I am Nic Cage from FACE OFF and this is my wifes dog I'm walking.' (audience laughter)

Jay: These are all suitable for framing !

Jay: Do they enjoy being dressed up in annoying outfits ?


Pat: (smiling) Yes she likes it. She has a whole set. We are going to make a little movie of her adventures.

Jay: Oh how exciting, would you bring that to the show for next time so we can show it ?


Pat: (lengthy pause smiling) ..... maybe, we'll see.

Jay: You know if people dressed up their dogs there would be less problems in the world. !


Pat: (becomes serious again) Less crime. Thats right.

Jay: Now I heard you found another dog, is this a third dog ?


Pat: Yeah, but this dog we didn't keep. What happened was, I was driving around town and it is so weird in Los Angeles, what a small world how magical it is. So I'm driving around and I see this dog. It was so stupid of me to stop but I felt right about stopping. It was a pitbull and so I was a little nervous. So I parked far away and ......

Jay: Wait a minute, you saw a pitbull and this made you pull over and park ?


Pat: Well she was running around. I thought she was gonna get hit by a car.

Jay: Oh OK thats sweet.


Pat: So I pulled over far away and I called out 'come here doggy', so I was gonna see if she was gonna come growling then I would jump back in the car. She seemed nice but she had white foam in her mouth.

Jay: Foam ?!?!?!?


Pat: She was scary (audience laughs) I swear she had white stuff in her nose but she was sweet. I got her tag and I called this phone number. All of a sudden they told me this address I had to put her in the back of my car. I drove around and then I get to this house. And Lorenzo Lamas comes down the driveway. He says 'Oh thank you, there she is'.

Jay: It was his dog ? Wow


Pat: I rescued his dog.

Jay: Well now he does not seem the type to have a rabid dog ?!?!?!


Pat: I don't think she was rabid, but maybe she was out forawhile. I don't know what she was eating and stuff.

Jay: Rescueing animals is really sweet. Risking your own life to rescue a foaming at the mouth pitbull.


Pat: (Pat replies with deep thought ) I know, I know, (pause) I know.

Jay: No thats very sweet, your a very nice person and I think that's very nice of you. Now this film (Nightwatch) I saw this last night it frightened me its very scary. It stars Nick Nolte and who else ?


Pat: Josh Brolan, Ewan McGregor.

Jay: You wanna tell us a little bit about it ?


Pat: Its about two guys sort of having a difficult time growing up. They keep testing each other, seeing how wild they can be. And they get into alot of trouble.

Jay: Now you have a love scene with Ewen McGregor. Now your husband Nicolas. I know he's Italian how does he feel about it ?


Pat: We're pretty good about it. This was filmed awhile ago. I was thinking like what can we do so that you feel like your there and I feel like I'm there. So we made this aggreement that we would eat raw garlic furing love scenes in our movies. So I ate all these cloves of raw garlic, Ewans allergic to raw garlic apparently. So ...(laughs) it burns your stomach. Raw garlic really hurts.

Jay: Was this so you don't enjoy the love scene ?


Pat: I think its so he doesn't enjoy the love scene.

Jay: You know eating beans is good. (audience laughs)


Pat: I'll try that next time. (laughs) So we both did it in one movie then we said I think thats enough of the stomach aches.

Jay: Well that seems a little bit over the top.


Pat: Its kinda romantica little bit too you know.

Jay: What eating the garlic ?!?!?!?


Pat: No just loving your partner like that.

Jay: It is very sweet and you guys make a great couple by the way. He was here on Mondays show we had alot of fun. Then they go into a clip from Nightwatch. Looks very kewl.

Jay: Nic kinda mentioned the whole millipede thing to me so I got you a scab free one. (pulls a small container out with a millipede in, hands it to Patricia)


Pat: arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, thank you.

Jay: Good Luck with the movie.


Pat: Thanks
Patricia waves to the audience looking stunning as she smiles. She stays on set through out the show. Gets to hold an albino wallaby. Looks cute in her bunny suit. To finish - I love that laugh of hers. typed up by Rozza.
