I beat the whole game without even taking a hit.
I could've done that.
Mordecai, Rigby. Hello.
Would you two mind picking up a painting for me today?
Yeah, sure. That sounds fun.
What's the occasion, Pops?
Tonight's the hall of park managers' annual celebrations,
and Benson's being honored.
They have a hall for everyhing these days.
Yes.
All the greatest park managers in the tri-county area
have been represented there.
That sounds like a kind of a big deal.
Are you sure you wanna us to do it?
Of course! I trust you.
Benson's portrait is at a local gallery.
Here's their information.
We won't let you down, Pops.
See you at the celebration.
Picking up a portrait!
Nope, nope, nope, no, no, no, no, no!
Hi, sorry we're late.
We're here to pick up a painting.
I was wondering when you'd show up.
- So no one's seen this painting yet? - No.
- You know... we could see this painting yet. - No.
Oh come on! You went to art school.
Don't you wanna see Benson like interpreted
or look at the paint... composition?
Well, I guess that could be kinda cool.
Sweet! Let's rip it open!
Wow dude, you're not going near with that pretzel.
My hands are clean. Check it out.
One finger holds the pretzel while the others do what I want.
See? That's why pretzel is the perfect food. They got handles.
Oh no dude! Oh no dude! Oh no dude!
Wipe it off!
We just ruined Benson's face for Benson's face thing!
We're fired! That's it! We're fired!
You are the art guy! Make us not fired!
Ok, the party is in 7 hours.
Yep, I am gonna repaint this thing.
Sweet! Let's get this arty started!
Ok, Benson.
Benson.
Ok, Benson.
Come on! Just start already!
I'm trying!
When was the last time you actually drew something?
It's a process, man!
In art school they taught us to really explore the subject.
And take time to really understand the deeper meaning.
Come on! This is Benson! It's not hard!
Move!
Watch. He's round. And grey.
Red... big-o face.
Whatever. Done. Perfect.
Dude, that's way worse!
At least I did something.
I just can't concentrate with you here watching me.
Fine. But you'd better have something done when I get back.
I will!
Once I... like... get the lights right. And the paint's got set.
Wait for the gesso to dry.
Alright.
Time to get to business.
Just got to pick up the right tunege.
So how is it going?
Dude, another heart pretzel?
Of course another heart pretzel.
This is who I am now. Deal with it.
Alright, let me have a look.
Err.. nah. It's not ready yet.
Come on! I wanna see!
It's a working progress.
Dude, you literally haven't done anything!
I said it's a working progress.
Seriously, Mordecai, what's the hold up?
Hungry? Thirsty?
Getting graduate and are a huge loser?
No, it's not that.
Well, what is it then?
It's just...
Alright, look.
Whenever I drew portrait in college, it always went badly.
They'd always misinterpreted or get offended.
And it's always just tough, uh,
whatever, I just can't do portraits.
It's okay, dude. I'm sure you can conquer your fear.
You really wanna let down that face?
I believe in you, man.
Alright, I'm gonna try a trick that always worked in art school.
Oh, hey there, fellow painters. Benny Harris's here.
And today I will be showing you
how to make some beautiful little portrait.
Sometimes we just got to take our existence
and make it a little more chipper.
Cheer up there little mustache!
Now that's a pleasant little mustache we just painted.
And do you know why?
Cos I picture it in my mind's eye.
Penelope sure does love it when I get existential!
Mind's eye.
Hey.
So you're like, un artist?
Yeah I mean, I am in art school so...
So could you like... draw me?
Oh yeah sure.
Relax.
The human mind can be a spooky place
full of all your fears, memories and secrets.
Focus on that dear subject.
Okay, okay.
Hi, I'm Benson. Your boss.
Former drummer. Stick hockey enthusiast.
Benson, you excited for the party tonight?
Yeah, feels really good to be given this huge honor.
I can't wait.
Hey, man, how's it going?
I assume everything is awesome...
Ah, this is horrible. I can't show this to Benson.
Now I know that mind's eye can sometimes get a little messy.
When my thoughts get clogged up,
I find taking some slides really inspires my creative flew.
Dude, that's it! I just need some reference!
I am on it!
Yeah I mean... Audrey and I aren't really calling it a date.
Rigby, what are you doing?
Stop! Stop it!
Get out of my face with that camera or you're fired!
Alright, let's go get these babies developed.
Ok! Let's see what we got here.
Nice.
Cool.
Bold!
Rigby, I can't use any of these.
He moves around a lot! Got all that nervous energy.
Come on! You got all you need here. His face, hands, feet...
That's his... you know... his butt, that's an important element.
Yeah. I guess I can piece it together.
You're doing it!
Dude, don't jinx it!
- Hey, Pops. - Yes. Hello, Rigby.
It's Pops, your friend Pops from the park.
Say I must ask where's the portrait? We're all waiting.
Oh it's going great. Gotta be great. Everyone's gonna love it.
I think the artist really had some breakthroughs,
get your hopes way way up.
We will be there soon, very soon.
Dude, why did you say all that?
It's true, right? You had to be done by now.
- No! I'm still got to fix the... - There's no time! I'm sure it's fine!
Seriously, it is not ready yet!
And get that stupid pretzel away from it!
I am sorry but seriously we have to go now.
But they're gonna hate it! No!
Something weird normally happens when that happens.
Oh no my dipping sauce!
What is that?
Dude, are those your horrible slides?
We are horrible? You called this "art"?
What do you mean?
This portrait looks nothing like me.
Yeah, it does. I mean... kind of.
- You've ruined everything! - Destroy the painting!
No! Mordecai is got an art!
Rigby is not an artist! You can't trust his opinion!
He is my friend!
Exactly!
Give me that cubist trash!
Mordecai! There's no time! We have to get to the party!
Their punch's like paper cuts!
You are just another slacker
who went to art school that feels like he had accomplished something.
Benny Harris!
- Well hey there. - What should we do?
I always say use what you see in your mind's eye.
Dude that didn't work.
Who cares? What's more important is that you've made something.
That's more than most people can say.
Look at that guy, he probably not made anything in his life.
But the painting's all wrong. I messed it up.
Now Benson's night's gonna be ruined.
Well, sometimes we got to take our existence
and make it a little more chipper.
But how does that stop the Bensons?
Just paint over them. They're slides.
Oh, cool.
Might as well just give up now.
You can't use a paintbrush to save your life.
Well then I won't use a paintbrush.
You're making a mess! Clean it up or you're fired!
We did it!
Thanks for your help, Benny Harris's ghost.
Or hologram or super projection or whatever.
No problemo, don't be a stranger now, and remember to rewiiiiind!
How does it look?
Wait, help me filp it over.
Good enough. Let's roll.
And now, to welcome our newest member.
Mr. Pops, would you please present the portrait?
You didn't have Mordecai and Rigby do it, did you?
Well...
Who are those two? This is most unusual.
We brought the painting. And... sorry, we messed it up.
But I try to... well... I hope you like it anyway.
Sorry if it wasn't what you wanted.
Dude, flip it over!
- Oh good. - It's not bad.
I understand if you wanna fire me.
Fire you? I think it's great.
The brush work, the composition, the raw energy.
Perfectly captured my misunderstood personality!
You're actually a really great artist, Mordecai.
Thanks.
Yes, yes. I love it too, but I'm sorry.
This abstract, unconventional piece just isn't appropriate for a hall setting.
Well, you have to commission a new portrait.
You're not even gonna use Mordecai's cool one?
That's okay. I know just the place for it.
Why did I have Mordecai and Rigby hang it?
