Really mired in Thirties radicalism.
- What do you do, Tracy?
- I go to high school.
Oh, really. Really. Somewhere Nabokov
is smiling, if you know what I mean.
LeWitt is overrated. In fact,
he may be a candidate for the academy.
Right!
Mary and I have invented the Academy
of the Overrated for such notables as...
...Gustav Mahler...
- Isak Dinesen and Carl Jung.
- ...Scott Fitzgerald.
- Lenny Bruce. Can't forget him, can we?
- I think those people are all terrific.
- Who was that guy you had?
- I didn't. It was yours. Heinrich Boll.
- Overrated?
- Don't wanna leave out Heinrich.
Gee, what about Mozart?
You guys don't wanna leave out Mozart.
- Well, how about Vincent Van Goch?
- She said "Van Goch"?!
- Or Ingmar Bergman?
- You'll get in trouble.
Bergman? Bergman's the only genius
in cinema today, I think.
He's a big Bergman fan.
God, you're so the opposite.
You write that fabulous television show.
It's so funny and
his view is so Scandinavian.
It's bleak, my god.
I mean, all that Kierkegaard, right?
Real adolescent, fashionable pessimism.
I mean, the silence. God's silence.
OK, OK, OK. I mean,
I loved it when I was at Radcliffe,
but, all right, you outgrow it.
Get her away from me. I don't think
I can take too much more of her.
No. Don't you guys see?
It is the dignifying of one's
psychological and sexual hang-ups...
...by attaching them to these
grandiose, philosophical issues?
Here we are.
Uh, listen,
it was very nice meeting you.
It was a pleasure
and a sincere sensation...
...but we have to go.
We gotta do some shopping. I forgot.
Hey, listen, I don't even
wanna have this conversation.
I'm just from Philadelphia, you know.
I mean, we believe in god so, uh... OK?
What the hell does that mean?
What do you mean?
Well, that...
"I'm from Philadelphia.
I believe in god."
Does this make any sense to you?
What a creep. Could you believe her?
- I mean, she was really...
- She seemed nervous.
Nervous? She was overbearing.
She was, you know, terrible!
She was all cerebral.
Where the hell
does a little Radcliffe tootsie
come off rating Scott
Fitzgerald...
...Gustav Mahler and Heinrich Bll?
- Why are you getting so mad?
Because I don't like that
pseudo-intellectual garbage.
"Van Goch!" Did you hear that? She said
Van Goch. Like an Arab she spoke.
One more remark about Bergman, and I'd
have knocked her other contact lens out.
- Is she Yale's mistress?
- That will never cease to mystify me.
I mean, he's got a wonderful wife and
he prefers to... to diddle this yo-yo.
But he was always a sucker
for those kind of women.
