Overrated?

[Carvill, John]

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?

   
                   
- How about Norman Mailer?
- I think those people are all terrific.

   
                   
- Who was that guy you had?
- I didn't. It was yours. Heinrich Bol.

   
                   
- Overrated?
- Don't wanna leave out Heinrich.

   
                   
Gee, what about Mozart?
You guys don't wanna leave out Mozart. While you're trashing people.

   
                   
- 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.

   
                   
- She's really a cr...
- 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.
- 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... OK?
