"[first lines] [Joe is painting a picture of a woman in a negligee; he becomes frustrated, and paints a red slash over the painting] Nora Manning: [his mother, Nora, enters.] Well, it's different...but is it art? Joe Manning: Art? It's not even fit to hang in a barroom. Nora Manning: I wish I looked as good...and I did, once. [looking at the painting more closely.] Nora Manning: What's wrong with it? Joe Manning: I don't know, Nora. I don't know! I can see it in my head, but it doesn't come out on the canvas. I want her to have warmth, and humor, and wisdom...and innocence...a girl you'd want to know. Nora Manning: Have you ever known a girl like that, Joe? [smiles] Nora Manning: No, I didn't think so. She wouldn't be quite human, you know. You're idealizing, Joe. Joe Manning: About women or art? Nora Manning: For you, is there any difference? Everything has to be perfect, or you destroy it. Joe Manning: Aw, Nora, you make me sound like a case. Nora Manning: The army changed you, Joe. You went away a boy, and came back a man. I wish I knew what kind of man. Joe Manning: I think I'll get drunk."
