(Phillip:
) Hey.Hi.
What do you think?
(Whitney):
It's...It's very nice, that's...
That's a cow in there,
huh?
It's very nice.
It's angst.
Sorry.
- Phillip Lemley.
- Whitney Taylor.
Enchanted.
Likewise.
Aren't you a little old
for comics, Whitney?
Aren't you a little young
to be a critic, Phillip?
You're right.
I'm sorry.
So I guess we have
something in common, huh?
Really?
What's that?
A great big thorn
in our side:
Mrs. Briggs.She doesn't think
much of me, either.
Why not?
Because I'm brilliant.
But alas, my lady,:
I am just a mere
child and a
pawn of the cruel trappings
of our Mrs. Briggs.
- Come on.
- Where?
To my opening.
- Your opening?
- Yes.
Every evening
a group of us gather
to critique each
other's work.
It's the one time we're supposed
to share what we're doing.
And I'm sure you'll find the
comments most enlightening.
(Mrs. Briggs):
The excessof flamboyance of the
coloration of your
painting detracts
from the power
of the narrative
and the true glory
of the painting.
Could you repeat
that in English?
It's elegant.
Powerful.
And deceptively simple.
It has this
amazing otherness.
Alright, give me the paintings
or the broad gets it.
I'm flattered; you really think
they're that valuable?
(gunshot)
(screams)
What on earth
are you doing?!
Can it, lad?!
Now hand them over.
I really mean business.
Jesus, Phillip,
give him the paintings!
Nu.
No, he's bluffing.
Don't count on it, lady.
You're not going
to shoot her.
You want to take that chance?
That gun you're so proud
of is a .357 Magnum.
Give the lady a cigar.
- Sn whit?
-...
The cylinder
holds six bullets.
You just fired one.
The rest of the
cells are empty.
That gun isn't even loaded.
You are very observant.
Very.
I want to thank
you all very much.
I can continue with
my scene now.
You've been very,
very helpful.
- Thank you.
- Oh, Norman, you fool!
(Mrs. Briggs):
You'vedestroyed a work of...
- Lisa, what is that-
- That's Norman Michelsky.
Ex-private eye and
tomorrow's Raymond Chandler.
(laughter)
Sometimes he gets
blocked and he says
so we humor him.
(giggling)
I just treat it as an exercise.
(whirring)
Well, Whitney Taylor,
it's been a long time.
Not nearly long enough,
Amanda.
Still drawing the funnies?
Some people never
outgrow certain things.
Some things get
better with age, Amanda.
I've stuck with the drawing.
Of course you have.
I always knew you would.
You had such
a knack for kitsch.
I see you've changed
directions again.
When our paths
first crossed
you were, what, the reigning
queen of the sculpture world?
