FORKY: What's going on? Where am I? Why is it like that?
How high is that? Who's that? Why do you think?
Is gravity good? Could that be better?
Why are you talking to me? Why is a cloud? Who are you?
(ANNOUNCER READING)
I don't know!
Hey, Forky here! Next question.
What is art?
And to help me with that is someone
who gets all puffy and... (IMITATES CLEARING THROAT)
...when he talks about art,
Mr. Pricklepants.
-(WHOOPING) -(CHUCKLING) Thank you!
-Welcome, welcome! Whoo-hoo! -Thank you! Thank you!
Not sure about puffy.
Perhaps more informed and generous with my criticism. Yeah.
Okay! So, what is art?
Well, Forky,
art is a means through which important feelings and thoughts are conveyed
utilizing creativity, skill, and imagination.
Hmm.
What is art?
You know, sculpture, and painting, and music,
and in my case, acting. Now, repeat that back to me.
(IMITATING MR. PRICKLEPANTS) Scooping and pants and moo-lacta.
Very good, Forky.
You were using mimicry,
one of the cornerstones of acting.
-I was? -Yes. (GASPS SOFTLY)
I know, I could teach you.
Would you like to learn more?
-Yeah! -Huzza!
Basically, an actor pretends to be another.
You inhabit their space, transform yourself,
and transform the audience.
-Question. -Yes!
Are your arms the same length? I'm not quite sure about mine.
Concentrate!
Pretend to be someone else. And give me magic.
-Action! -(FLASHLIGHT CLICKS)
No, thanks. Bye.
But, Forky, your lesson.
Just pretending. Was that good?
(GASPS SOFTLY) It was, Forky.
You fooled a master of the acting arts.
(LAUGHS) I said, "No, thanks. Bye."
But I didn't mean it.
And I fooled a master actor!
And seriously, my left arm is longer,
do you see this? I mean, it really seems like it is.
Oh, Forky, you disappoint me.
Maybe the arts are beyond your grasp.
Hmm.
Well,
Bonnie made me.
I was her art project.
And I love Bonnie, so...
So maybe I was created to make her feel good things like...
Like, love.
(SOBBING) Forky, that was beautiful.
Dear boy, you must use your gift of words
and emotions to move audiences.
(CONTINUES SOBBING)
Oh, dear me!
Pretending?
Yeah. Pretty much!
Tree. Chicken.
Rock. Elephant.
Butterfly. George Washington.
Lion. Wind and rain.
Earth itself. Baloney sandwich.
No, that's gross.
