Plot
Mike quietly works on his stop-motion film. Geoff walks in and asks about Mike's activities. Mike explains that he's making a stop-motion film, and it will probably take a while to make. Geoff leaves and Mike continues working. Eventually Mike's other roommate Rod walks in, nude and carrying a paddle and an oil can. Rod quickly excuses himself.
Hours pass, and Geoff returns, suggesting that Mike do something "more productive."

The film ends with a quote by Bertrand Russell: "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."[3]
