We all know what’s going to happen next
Sam Neill and Laura Dern, two musicologists, stare in wonder at what appears to be Beethoven, Mozart, and Rachmaninoff playing away at their instruments in a natural setting. In the distance, the entire Bach family is playing an arrangement together.
San Neill: How did you do this?
Richard Attenborough: I’ll show you!
They board a Disneyland-style ride that explains how they exhumed the bones of dead composers.
Attenborough: We were able to get 98% of the DNA.
Laura Dern: What did you do to fill in the gaps?
Attenborough. Oh, yes. The gaps. We just used DNA from Serial Killers. It was the cheapest, and we got the idea from a old movie.
Jeff Goldblum: “Abby Normal”
Attenborough: It was the cheapest solution, and I’ve been told that it’s perfectly safe.
