Andy Samberg: Paul, its a masterpiece.
(cut to an elegant auction)
Curator: 26,000 thousand, 27? 27? Do we hear 27 thousand? Going once, going twice. Sold to the gentleman in the gray blazer.(pounds gavel)
(light applause, Paul and Andy wear matching white tuxedos)
Andy Samberg: This is us.
Paul Rudd: I´m so nervous.
Andy Samberg: Don´t be. I´m telling you, they´re gonna love it.
Curator: This next painting is by a brand new artist and we´re lucky enough to have him here tonight. Please welcome, Mr. Paul Rudd.(light applause)Its a rare honor of a curator to introduce the world to a new artistic voice. It takes a quiet bravery to bare one´s soul to the world. Let´s see what´s inside Mr. Rudd´s.
(An assistant to the curator reveals Paul´s painting and everyone at the auction give ghastly screams. A hellish pandemonium breaks out. The assistant convulses and vomits, A man stabs himself in the eye, woman vomits uncontrollably, a man puts his head in an oven, Indiana Jones and Marion from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” are tied to a post)
Indiana Jones: DON´T OPEN YOUR EYES, MARION!! DON´T OPEN YOUR EYES!!
(A woman cries blood and puts a gun to her head and pulls the trigger. Blood splashes Paul and Andy. An Italian woman says her prayers and slashes her own throat. More blood sprays Andy and Paul. The curator is bleeding from the eyes and the mouth, he cocks a shotgun and blows his head off, a woman breaks a chair on a man´s back. Andy looks at Paul kind of amused)
Andy Samberg: Everyone´s a critic. (cute shrugs)
Caption: Everyone´s a critic.
(Cut to a celebrity reporter interviewing Paul and Andy in front of the “Everyone´s a critic” poster)
Celebrity reporter: That was a clip from “Everyone´s a critic”, starring Paul Rudd and Andy Samberg. Hi, guys. I understand you brought a little surprise with you.
Paul Rudd: We did. I don´t know if you remember the painting from the film but…(shows the painting)
Celebrity reporter: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Celebrity reporter convulses, blood comes out her eyes, the boom mike guy vomits and falls over dead, celebrity reporter dies in her chair in front of Paul and Andy)
