A man of very few words, The Artist doesn't want to be bothered with speaking. He leaves this inconvenience to his muse, his inspiration, the fiery Paisley. He licks his fingers, dresses like the maâtre d' at Medieval Times and blurts out meaningless words like "red," "sage" and "velvet." Some people backstage think The Artist might be crazy but, when they see that he has earned the adoration of the luscious Paisley, even his most ardent critics starts praying for similar institutionalization.
