Beautiful
WARREN: Hey. This one.
DEB: Really?
WARREN: Yes, this one.
DEB: This is your pick? Out of all of the paintings we've seen, this is it?
WARREN: Yes.
DEB: Out of hundreds of paintings, your favorite painting is this piece of –
WARREN: Hey, what's wrong with it?
DEB: Well, it's a little bit boring
WARREN: Then you must be ignoring the most important bit.
DEB: I don't see it.
Warren, we've been walking around,
Passing statues of angels and portraits of kings
WARREN: So?
DEB: So, you could choose any one
And we're standing in front of this painting of everyday things
WARREN: It's beautiful, right?
DEB: No, it isn't, it's plain.
WARREN: Well, part of our trip to the Met is I get to explain.
DEB: Here we go.
WARREN: So, this is a painting of what?
DEB: It's a painting of apples.
WARREN: That's right, that's right.
So the artist has us looking at what?
DEB: Boring everyday things.
WARREN: Well, yes.
DEB: And the point?
WARREN: The point is that things aren't beautiful all on their own

DEB: Okay. I like that shade of red right there

It's deep as an ocean but lighter than air
WARREN: It's simple, familiar, and full of feeling
DEB: The color of Saturdays here at the Met
WARREN: The color of shouting from rooftops
DEB: You bet!
WARREN: The color of feeling that life is okay.
DEB: The color of an ordinary day
DEB: Really?
WARREN: Yes, this one.
