[ The video starts black. Light cuts through in sharp lines, edging in around blades of grass. No, make that fur.

Fur that gains color into browns as it shifts away from blocking the camera's eye. The rabbit hops away down the table, disappearing for a minute. Two. When it comes back in view, it appears to be wearing tiny, lens-free glasses perched precariously on its twitching nose.

The rabbit sits back on its hind legs, ears swiveling forward and paws tucking close to its chest. When it glances toward the camera, it's almost like the rabbit winks. But it couldn't have.

Could it? ]

It's a rabit maybe you hadn't noticed.

[ HE CAN'T RESIST sorry. ]

*rabbit

I had noticed that. It is rather obvious. Your point?

[bearswitness]

RABBIT there's no reason for two Bs.

Well if you want to waste your time speaking with rodents be my guest we adults will be doing important things.

[bratworth]

There most certainly is. The doubled consonant changes the phonology of the vowel that precedes it.

What is more important than ensuring all the transports that are brought here are provided with all the information they require?

[bearswitness]

It sounds the same as "habit" doesn't it that's stupid.

Well if you want to talk with rodents that badly then go right ahead I saw a rat on 31st try that one next if you can find it. It might be shy.

[bratworth]

It's not stupid. It's different for every word. English is like that.

If a rat does indeed attempt to communicate over the network, I will engage it in conversation.

[bearswitness]

Ha ha ha ha ha.

[bratworth]

This is no laughing matter, but obviously any further explanation would be a waste on your intellect.

[bearswitness]

Oh yes thank you very subtle how you slipped that insult in.

[bratworth]

Subtlety, too, would be a waste on you.

[bearswitness]

Then it's a good thing I'm so willing to spare sarcasm for you.

[bratworth]

Now, now, there's no need for sarcasm.
