One such idea that immediately leaps to my mind is a cooking demonstration---Alfredo and Remy showing us,step by step,how to cook ratatouille.Although the dish does get created,things do not go smoothly,as Skinner is lurking nearby,still trying to obtain concrete evidence that the son of one of France's greatest chefs is consorting with a rat.

She believed in heaven, so she's covered... after-life speaking. [gives Skinner letter] Skinner: What is this? Linguini: It's from my mother. She thought it would help... me get a job... here.

Originally Posted By ToonKirby >Yeah, his name's Alfredo. I believe you can see it in the letter.< Hmm, I wonder why that isn't in the credits or anywhere in the press kit. What is his middle name, Fusilli? Anyway, regarding the short, this discription was in the press release: "Remy and Emile star in an all-new animated short film." So it will be about Remy and his brother.

What is his middle name, Fusilli?<<< Yes, his first name is Alfredo. It's mentioned in a line of dialogue as well, I believe. For all we know, Fusilli COULD be his middle name. I bet he has one.
