[Rome, circa 1512 A.D. Michelangelo, a caricature of Kirk Douglas, angrily kicks two painters out of The Sistine Chapel]
Out! Out, you incompetent FOOLS! You call yourselves artists?! [puts a "Painters wanted" sign on the door] You just can't get good help these days. [goes back inside. The camera trucks in on the "Painters wanted" sign. High-angle shot of Michelangelo walking over to three peasants] And you! How can I work with all you peasants kneeling and mumbling?!
But, Michelangelo, this is a church.
Oh, that explains that infernal bell ringing.
[The bell rings periodically]
Sanctuary! Sanctuary!
QUIET! [slams the door. Quasimodo shrugs. Michelangelo goes up the ladder] I must be finished with my great masterpiece tonight, before His Eminence arrives. But I fired all my assistants. I'm alone! ALL ALONE! [sobs intensely] Oh, heavenly muse, send me some help!
[Yakko kicks the door open, destroying the scaffold Michelangelo is on, causing him to fall into a can of red paint]
It's Yakko and Wakko, and our sister, Dot!
