Popular Dialogues

"Steve: [to classmates] Well, my work is my mirror, really. [then to George] Steve: Aren't you going to comment on my work? George: I don't really care about your art. I'm on acid."

"George: Nice place. Tom: A friend of mine did those paintings. He believes that corpses dream. Imagine that each work is the dream of a murdered child. George: [nervously laughs] I'm kind of stone. Tom: Poor kid. School hasn't done you much good, has it? George: Nope. Tom: But you don't need to know anything, do you? Your beauty is much more profound. George: Um... that's kind of a weird thing to say."
