You Learned How to Make a Pasta Dinner
1990 · 7 min · Music, Fantasy, Comedy, Family
In this dadaist riff, harried working-stiff Jimmy learns that he must play host to an unexpected female guest. Jimmy despairs of being able to prepare dinner in time, but much to his surprise, manages, thanks largely to his closet-dwelling puppet Vincent. When the guest doesn't appear it looks as though all of their efforts have been for nought, but divine intervention saves the day.
