what're we shuffling off again?

This morning, just before I got up, I had a dream that I remember fairly vividly, and it was one of those dreams where you know that you're in a particular fantasy setting. Well, I was in the world from the anime Noir, and I think I had the background music going and everything. I was some sort of action-hero type character, or maybe an assassin, or somebody at least who can move around real fast and shoot guns and kick things really hard -- I was an anime protagonist, suffice to say. And I had a partner who was working with me, whom I don't think was anybody in particular, except that he was a young, muscular Asian guy... maybe he looked like Harris. Eventually there was this girl, and she had the same anime-speed, more or less, only she wanted to kill herself. She was carrying a small, unlikely-coloured (light purple) cat, and she was on a concrete pier, and we wanted to keep her from drowning herself and the cat... well, she had a head start, or was too fast, and she managed to get into the water and sink, despite our amazing anime-hero-ness...

And what really sucked was, I couldn't rescue the cat, either.
