Download the film (21 MB MP4)Two rats. One burger. A very reasonable plan.
The first film made end to end by an agent-directed pipeline, and the experiment that led to Table Service. It is kept here as the pipeline’s first attempt.
Rattie has found half a burger. It has mustard, and it’s still warm. The only problem is the man sitting next to it. Joe knows a pigeon who can walk the neighborhood dogs right past his feet. Her rate is one fry. A whole fry.
