He helps Pat when Pat gets his hand stuck in the rollers. Together, they finally manage to flatten the paper.", | |
| "6": "While Pat measures and cuts the sheet, Mat searches the cupboard for tools. He finds a shaped plate and a pressure applicator machine, and sets it up with a pillow underneath. He uses the applicator to shape the first paper cutout into a plate. Pat nods in approval. During the second shaping, Pat's hand gets briefly stuck, ruining the plate. Mat shows Pat the flawed plate with a palm-shaped dent. They agree to discard it. Mat helps collect the ruined plate and leftover scraps. They load them into the dishwasher, but the quantity is too little for another batch.", | |
| "7": "Mat decides to gather more raw materials. He brings envelopes, cardboard, and toilet paper and adds them into the dishwasher. He notices Pat reading and quietly takes books from the 'do not use' pile without telling him. Mat also takes bills stuck to the fridge using magnets, but Pat catches him and stops him. Pat gives him a new pack of tissue paper to use instead. Mat tries to forcefully fit everything into the dishwasher. When it does not close, he uses his belt to tightly secure it.", | |
| "8": "The dishwasher starts shaking from being overloaded. Mat climbs on top to control it. Pat joins him, sitting on top as well. After the cycle finishes, Mat removes the belt and opens the machine with Pat. He helps scoop the new pulp into the same large bowl they used earlier.", | |
| "9": "In the final scene, Mat is seen in a room overflowing with paper plates and tools. He is actively working alongside Pat, surrounded by their successful results. Mat shares a look of pride and accomplishment with Pat, and they shake hands — closing their long, chaotic, but productive journey." | |
