“Art” · Season 1, Episode 15

In this episode: Dan (5), Chris (2)

[Dan and Chris arrive at an art museum]

I can't believe she thinks I have bad taste. Well, when I get back from this museum, I'll be the most educated, refined art lover that ever lived. She'll see. I mean, it's just art. How complicated could it be? What's this supposed to be, a steering wheel? This isn't helping at all. How am I supposed to tell the good art from the bad?

It's all bad. All right, back to basics. [he gets ready to light up a painting but a old security guard takes it away from him] Huh?

OSOld Security Guard

No open flames in the museum. [walks away with Dan's lighter]

Hey, that's my favorite lighter. You think I won't hurt an old man? I'll hurt an old man. [the security guard picks him up] Unhand me! He's getting away.

[Chris is staring at a picture of a flower, then, Dan and Chris are sitting at an museum's bench]

[while eating a fake burger] Museum food tastes like plastic.

Another reason why art must suffer.

OSOld Security Guard

[walks up to Dan and Chris] You can't touch the art.

Um, neither of us are touching any art, grandpa.

SGSecurity Guard

First of all, that's my grandpa, not yours, and second, you're sitting on a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

The bench? The bench is art now?

SGSecurity Guard

And the sandwich.

[gasps] Oh. Sorry.

SGSecurity Guard

Wasn't there also an apple pie?

[when Chris' stomach gumbles, the security guard kick Dan and Chris out of the museum]

This whole art thing is just so frustrating. It's giving me a stomachache. I think some of that exhibit was toxic.

[reads the poster] That's him. That's the guy I should be after, the so-called "artist" who ruined my car. Come on, Chris.

I don't know. I should probably go to the hospital. I ate a whole plastic pie.

No time. We have a mission. To make Art Artstein art history. Let's go. [he bumps himself to the street painting]

OMOffice manager

I don't understand. Are you trying to apply to the academy of art school?

Attend art school? Do I look like a joke to you? Just give me the files.

OMOffice manager

I'm not giving you our private records!

[Dan and Chris are having a split-screen phone chat]

What now?

There's no way to ruin art.

What do you mean? We ruined it.

I thought we did, but somehow we made it better.

Wait. People liked our pointless squiggles? But if that's art and benches are art and sunflowers are sometimes art and then some art can be eaten even though it shouldn't be, then-- but-- I am never going to figure this out.

If there's no way to ruin art that already exists, I'll have to cut it off at its source. Art Artstein, prepare for a close encounter of the Dan kind.

I guess if anyone could explain art to me, it'd be someone named Art.

[after the place was destroyed] Now that's what I call a work of art.

[after he heard everyone complained about his statue] Seriously? You sheep wouldn't know real art if it ruined your car! [screams as a bulldozer destroyed his car] Aw, come on!
