Wednesday -- Despicable Me, The Skit Part IV (The End)

On the final night of the skit, Gru and Margo's two story lines converge...at the Creative Arts & Learning Center. Gru's super villain friends arrive there to steal the valuable works of art and Margo and her new cool friends arrive for what they think is a party. Rayo Malo has connived to trick the cool teen group into joining his evil plot. He has also enlisted the services of yet another super villain to help the bad guys blend in with the young people of the City of Children by calling in super teen villain Syndrome.

In control, Rayo Malo breaks in to the Creative Arts & Learning Center only to discover that the valuable art is actually "worthless, unfinished" paintings. He turns his anger on Gru and his family but a misfire of Rayo Malo's Hip-Hop-Dance Ray brings down the leader of the cool teen crew. Without their leader, the teen group dissolves -- some turning around and choosing the right path and others continuing down the way of destruction.  Then, one by one, Gru dispatches the super villains. Magnetic Man is brought down by Iron Man, well, actually, not brought down so much as stuck on Iron Man. Tormenta's attempt to throw snowballs at her attackers is foiled by the Mexican World Cup Goalie Ocha incredible saves. Syndrome is stunned and flees from Gru's fart gun.  El Macho is wrestled to defeat by Captain Mexico -- who is actually Margo's friend Veronika. Veronika has returned because a friend never leaves a friend in need.

As the skit concludes, Gru explains that the unfinished art is actually extremely valuable. It's is priceless, in fact.  He demonstrates its value...by having a child from the City of Children step into each painting and complete it. Gru sums up our week's story by explaining that each of us is an unfinished work of art.  God is still working on us.  And if we stand still and let the Lord complete his work the resulting masterpiece will be beyond what we are able to imagine.

The final reveal of the finished paintings was an emotional message for all of us -- Americans and Mexicans.






Skid and the...ah, elders....
