To me it was very textural.
You know what I mean?

:14:03
It was perfectly integrated and it had a...
a marvellous kind of negative capability.

:14:08
The rest of the stuff was bullshit.
:14:14
- You wanna see the Sol Lewitt?
- Sure. That'd be fun.

:14:16
You wanna see that?
:14:18
He opens at the Modern soon. I was
gonna do a piece on Sol for Insights.

:14:21
Do you know that magazine?
It's a little magazine.

:14:24
They're such schmucks up there.
Really mired in Thirties radicalism.

:14:28
- What do you do, Tracy?
- I go to high school.

:14:31
Oh, really. Really. Somewhere Nabokov
is smiling, if you know what I mean.

:14:37
LeWitt is overrated. In fact,
he may be a candidate for the academy.

:14:40
Right!
:14:42
Mary and I have invented the Academy
of the Overrated for such notables as

:14:46
- Gustav Mahler,
- Isak Dinesen and Carl Jung.

:14:49
- Scott Fitzgerald.
- Lenny Bruce. Can't forget him, can we?

:14:52
- How about Norman Mailer?
- I think those people are all terrific.

:14:56
- Who was that guy you had?
- I didn't. It was yours. Heinrich B?I.

:15:00
- Overrated?
- Don't wanna leave out Heinrich.

:15:03
Gee, what about Mozart?
You guys don't wanna leave out Mozart.

:15:06
- Well, how about Vincent Van Goch?
- She said "Van Goch"?!

:15:10
- Or Ingmar Bergman?
- You'll get in trouble.

:15:12
Bergman? Bergman's the only genius
in cinema today, I think.

:15:15
He's a big Bergman fan.
:15:17
God, you're so the opposite.
You write that fabulous television show.

:15:21
It's so funny and
his view is so Scandinavian.

:15:24
It's bleak, my God.
I mean, all that Kierkegaard, right?

:15:27
Real adolescent, fashionable pessimism.
I mean, the silence. God's silence.

:15:32
OK, OK, OK. I mean, I loved it when I was
at Radcliffe, but, all right, you outgrow it.

:15:37
Get her away from me. I don't think
I can take too much more of her.

:15:40
- She's really a cr...
- No. Don't you guys see?

:15:43
It is the dignifying of one's
psychological and sexual hang-ups

:15:47
by attaching them to these
grandiose, philosophical issues?

:15:50
- Here we are.
- Listen, it was very nice meeting you.

:15:54
It was a pleasure
and a sincere sensation,

:15:57
but we have to go.
We gotta do some shopping. I forgot.

:15:59
Hey, listen, I don't even
wanna have this conversation.
