Your Friend the Rat Page #2

Synopsis: A forthright Remy and his reluctant brother Emile speak out for oppressed rats everywhere. Remy rolls film explaining that rats see themselves as on a par with men, who, instead, make war on rats. Remy gives a history lesson: heroism in India, black rat migration from the Middle East to Europe during the Crusades, the Black Death of 1347 to 1352, and Remy's contention that the flea was the villain. Enter the brown or Norway rat - from China. Both travel on ships around the world, with the larger brown pushing out the smaller black, and both live symbiotically with man. Then, Emile explains what's cool about rats. Trade phobia, Remy tells humans, for utopia. Any chance of that?

We'll say "Bonjour,"

and "How's the family?"

When we pass each other on the street

And just like that

We won't be strangers anymore

So here we go to Mars

With our stories intertwined

And although once you tried to kill us

Now we know that you won't mind

We'll journey through the stars

And whatever else may be

-We all hate that lousy flea

-That lousy flea

So, what do you say?

Can we make peace, and...

MAN:
The views expressed

are not necessarily the views

of Pixar Animation Studios

or the Walt Disney Company.

REMY:
Oh, no. Oh, this isn't over yet.

Oh, no, no.

Emile, how many times did I say they

were gonna slap something on the end.

What, and now they're doing it.

Now, look at this.

-Uh-huh. Yeah.

-It's like it's in their DNA to...

(MAN CONTINUES READING)

(GRUNTING)

-Whoa.

-I, I, I'm a...

I'm surprised, I'm surprised.

Guys, you know, it's typical.

Business as usual. You know what,

our voice will not be denied.

You've had your say.

Can we please get something to eat?

...be caused by your silly insistence

on rat interaction.
