So, Ian, you can help me understand where I went wrong with my new
decorating, ha ha.
TRIP
Grace, oh, no, we don't need to do that.
GRACE
Uhh, this new painting above the couch is something of a -- an
experiment...
TRIP
We just acquired it at an art auction.
IAN
i like the painting
TRIP
Ah, yes, Ian, I knew you'd like it. See, Grace?
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
GRACE
(frustrated sigh) So yeah, I just bought this painting...
GRACE
but, god, you know, it looks like an amateur painted it.
TRIP
well, you're the one who bought it...
IAN
it looks good
GRACE
Uhh!
TRIP
See, Grace, as always, you're the only one unhappy with your
decorating.
GRACE
Well if you hadn't pressured me into go into advertising, I could have
been the one selling that painting instead of buying it!
TRIP
Oh yeah, yeah, uh, that would have been good. Anyhow I'm sure this
painting is an excellent investment.
(Trip shakes the advice ball.)
TRIP
Sounds good.
TRIP
Heh!
GRACE
