Excellent, I assume the plan is for Arnie to unknowingly disrupt the funeral and cause disturbingly twisted results?

I had a bizarre visual play out in my head overnight that I really don't exactly know how to implement. Essentially, Arnie disrupts DK's ROTMK-style funeral, runs off with DK's corpse, and then the movie incorporates a brief parody of the Donkey Kong Jr. arcade game. Arnie is in place of Mario, and DK Jr. has to get to the top to retrieve his father's body. Arnie is obviously completely unstable with the enemies he deploys, resulting in...I'm not sure if DK Jr. should simply give up, or if he should die, or what exactly.

But if I don't know if that concept would actually work, if attempted to be made. The whole point of Arnie is that he's brain damaged, so how would he knowingly steal the corpse and do the entire DK Jr. bit? I mean, maybe he thinks DK's corpse is a doll or something? Maybe it can be established throughout the entirety of the movie that Arnie thinks DK is his friend?

Then again, maybe the DK Jr. scene is just overkill, and you should stick with only doing a quick gag where Arnie disrupts DK's funeral to end the movie right there.
