<i>Kath & Kim</i> Premiere

Some young, cute dude in a jersey barges into the room through the sliding door and greets Kath cheerfully before going over to Kim and accusing her of acting like a brat. So we can assume this is the estranged husband. Kath runs outside when she spies the neighbor cat digging up her rose bush, crying that everything is falling apart.

Hubbie warns Kim that she'd better come home because he is putting his foot down. Then he gets down on his knees and starts begging her. Kim responds by putting her fingers in her ears. He keeps going, "All I said was maybe you could microwave dinner once in a while. We can't go to Applebee's every single night, we are not billionaires." The camera cuts away to a shot of Kath chasing a cat with a garden hose. Craig (that's the husband's name) continues his pursuit, telling Kim that "seriously, dude -- I am losing it!" Kim tells him to just leave. Craig's like, "Fine. But if I take one step out this door [motions to the sliding glass door], you'll never see me again." Kim glowers at him and says, "Yeah I will, it's a glass door." As he stomps off, Craig exhales, "Gah, why do you have to be such a brainiac all the time?"

Kim turns the wedding video back on and watches footage of Craig getting into a fist fight during the reception, as she voices over: "I thought Craig was a rock star." She giggles, then looks ready to cry as she watches Craig tackling a dude in a cummerbund.

Kath is upstairs at her vanity, applying lip gloss for her big date. As she picks her teeth, she voice-overs, "I'm proud of where I am in life. Yes, I'm high maintenance, but you have to be. I cleanse and tone, but it's paid off." She fakes a laugh in the mirror, then continues her VO, saying that things are going well with Phil and she's not gonna let Kim screw them up, but before she finishes this thought she's interrupted by a loud thud. She springs up and mutters, "What the Bedazzle is she doing?" She storms out of her room and sees Kim grunting as she pushes exercise equipment out of her old room. "What are you doing with my Mini-Stepper?" she asks. "I can't sleep on a Mini-Stepper, Mom," Kim replies. A shoving match ensues, but is interrupted when Kim compliments Kath on her arms and her dreamcatcher earrings, which she's pretty sure Lindsay was wearing when she left rehab. Just then, the doorbell rings. Kath runs down to answer the door, warning Kim to be nice.
