Response to lizardgirl: Yeah, that's the thing. This ONE idiotic moment where ALL Mike says to Randall's face is "Painted?" is EVERY BIT as irrational as it sounds. It YELLS from the mountaintop how wrapped up Mike is in himself. It's the words of a sniveling coward who is ONLY interested in saving his own skin. Instead of 'taking it like a man'... or 'monster', if you will... the deep psychosis kicks into high gear.
Any real rational thought Mike would have had (on a regular Mike-rational basis, that is) just completely shut down... not unlike Randall's breakdown near the end of the film, where he enters that primitive fight/flight mode. ALL Mike is thinking when he said 'Painted' is stuff along the lines of "Why-why-WHY... are you questioning ME? Why ME? I'm the green ball, here, ya know! Oh, oh, OH! Dang it! Reptilian arms... all your purple hands.... getting physical... no-likey for Mikey! Makes me uncomfortable.... did-did I mention you're making me uncomfortable? Oh, and DID I MENTION YOU'RE MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE? Okay... I'll say WHATEVER it is you want! Regardless of how much of an idiot it makes me sound! Just leave me alone! ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!! Wait..... does Randall actually have a point at all? Does he HAVE feelings? Uh... nah. NO, that's not possible! You know why? Because... HE-HE-HE MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE!!! THAT'S the only thing at stake here, because MIKE is the CENTER OF THE MONSTER SOLAR SYSTEM!" Ask him one minute later what Randall wanted from him, and Mike would be like "Uh.... who are we talking about?". That's how self-centered Mike is!
Sorry to use yet another 'Monk' parable, but if Randall is like Adrian Monk, then Sulley would be like Leland Stottlemeyer, and Mike would be like Jack Monk Jr., from "Mr. Monk's Other Brother" (Episode 10, Season 7). Jack Jr. is a LOT like Mike. He's depicted as being a pathological liar and a sniveling coward, who will say ANYTHING to save his own skin and worm his way out of anything... MUCH like Mike Wazowski. They fit in the same mold... Jack Monk Jr. and Mike are the EXACT same type of person.
Anyway, THAT'S why Mike gave that idiotic answer: "Painted?" to Randall. It's easy to see why Randall got so angry with him.
