Hey. This one.
Really?
WARREN
Yes, this one.
This is your pick? Out of all of the paintings we've seen, this is it?
WARREN
Out of hundreds of paintings, your favorite painting is this piece of –
WARREN
Hey, what's wrong with it?
Well, it's a little bit boring
WARREN
Then you must be ignoring the most important bit.
I don't see it.
Warren, we've been walking around,
Passing statues of angels and portraits of kings
WARREN
So, you could choose any one
And we're standing in front of this painting of everyday things
WARREN
It's beautiful, right?
No, it isn't, it's plain.
WARREN
Well, part of our trip to the Met is I get to explain.
Here we go.
WARREN
So, this is a painting of what?
It's a painting of apples.
WARREN
That's right, that's right.
So the artist has us looking at what?
Boring everyday things.
WARREN
Well, yes.
And the point?
WARREN
The point is that things aren't beautiful all on their own
Beautiful comes from reflection
Beautiful takes a person who makes a connection
You know what I mean?
For beautiful to happen, the beautiful has got to be seen
Okay. I like that shade of red right there
The spot where the apple is peeling
It's deep as an ocean but lighter than air
WARREN
It's simple, familiar, and full of feeling
The color of Saturdays here at the Met
WARREN
The color of shouting from rooftops
You bet!
WARREN
The color of feeling that life is okay.
The color of an ordinary day
