Kim is contractually obligated to destroy the flawed plates and when her friend, downtown celebrity performance artist Scarlett, offers to destroy them onstage, Kim agrees. When Kim, then Mr. Arreau, discover that Scarlett has recycled a flawed plate into a mosaic table, Arreau destroys the table in what turns out to be his last work of art. The now extremely valuable pile of rubble ends up doing more good in the world than anyone could have possibly foreseen. Written by Nike See less
