Good.

He still working at Replacements Ltd?

Still there. Back living here.

It's good you come down here.

I want to know everything

there is to know about you.

I want you to tell us

every little thing.

God. That would be so boring.

Not to me.

What makes you tick?

All we got is dry cereal for you.

That's fine, Pat.

Can I do anything to help?

No. Nobody messes in my kitchen.

Oh, OK. Pat, your little ceramic thing.

It wasn't...

Are you wearing make-up?

'Cause, you could wear more

if you wanted to.

You're so tall. I'm fair.

But, I like to experiment

with a lot of different looks.

Were you born in Chicago?

I was born right here.

I've lived here all my whole life.

My favorite animal is the meerkat.

Do you know what they are?

They're so cute.

I've got this little charm bracelet

with meerkats on it.

Did you have lots of boyfriends?

I bet you did.

Did you ever try out

for cheerleading or anything?

I tried out, but I didn't make it.

I was born in Japan.

You were not.

My father was in the diplomatic service.

And then we moved to Africa.

And then to Washington, DC

for a short while

and then back to Africa

and then to Chicago.

Wow. What kind of things did you like

to do when you were a little girl?

What type of things?

Reading and horseback riding.

At the same time?

No. I never tried it at the same time.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

I have a half-brother now

but he's gone now.

So that's why

this is pretty much my family.

And children

are the most important thing.

They're so important.

Can you still have kids?

Ashley!

George wrote that you own

a art museum or something?

Yes. An outsider gallery.

Self-taught artists.

That's my cellphone.

Don't worry, I'll just call back.

And that's why we're here really.

We drove down to meet-have you heard

of this artist from Pinnacle... David Wark?

Wark?

He lives about half an hour away.

Most people haven't heard of him yet.

Anyway we drove down to meet him.

For the gallery.

I wouldn't think you'd have to come all

the way down here from Chicago

to find a good artist.

And I insisted to George...

I said if we're this near anyway,

let's come here.

You drove all that way?

We stayed one night.

We had sort of a little honeymoon.

And then last night

we stayed in Asheville.

- You stayed in Asheville last night?

- Yes. Last night.

Well.

And then we work up early this morning

to see David Wark.

And that's so exciting.

He paints mostly his conceptions

of the Confederate War.

It's extraordinary.

He's not schooled or trained.

If you get him talking

he goes off on these ideas,

and it's strange

because he sort of gets confused

with his own personal history
