One of the Greats

A bird paints. BIRD (thinking): I consider myself one of the great artists of my time.

The bird pauses and looks around.

The Life of An Artist

BIRD: Look... I'm an artist. I create something from NOTHING.

BIRD: My work touches souls! Shapes minds! Changes lives! With these hands... I can touch the face of GOD!

Create

BIRD: I truly feel I've been put here to create art. SQUIRREL: By whom?

BIRD: Someone with a grand plan.

Polite

A bird shows a painting to a fox and a rabbit. BIRD: How is it? And be polite! FOX: Hmm, now... What's a polite way to say, "It looks like garbage."

The bird angrily storms away.

Ideas

RABBIT: How do you get your ideas? BIRD: I stare at a blank sheet of paper until my eyes bleed.

BIRD: After seventeen hours, I accidentally think of one mildly interesting thing, and I then pass out. RABBIT (walking away): Haha! OK...

Shrugs

A rabbit and a squirrel react to a bird's painting. RABBIT: I don't think I... GET it. SQUIRREL: I get it. It's... FINE.

BIRD (thinking): (sigh) I pour out my soul. And all I get is two SHRUGS.

Celebrating Genius

BIRD (thinking): The world will one day celebrate my genius.

SQUANK! A bird makes a huge loud obnoxious sound.

Songs About Disappointment

BIRD: I write songs about my disappointments.

BIRD: And no one likes them.
