I'm taking a remedial
high school art class...

:48:06
for fuck-ups and retards.
:48:11
Who is this, Enid?
:48:14
It's supposed to be Don Knotts.
:48:15
And what was your reason for
choosing him as your subject?

:48:22
I don't know.
I just like Don Knotts.

:48:26
Interesting.
:48:27
What do we have here, Margaret?
:48:31
It's a tampon in a teacup.
:48:33
I can see that.
:48:35
What can you tell us about it?
:48:37
First of all,
what kind of sculpture is this?

:48:40
It's a found object.
:48:42
That's where an artist
takes an ordinary object...

:48:44
and places it
in an artistic context...

:48:46
and thus, it becomes art.
:48:47
But what can you
tell us about it...

:48:49
in regard
to your artistic intent?

:48:52
Well, I guess I see the teacup
as a symbol for womanhood.

:48:58
Such as tea parties
in the olden days...

:49:01
but instead of tea...
:49:02
I was trying to kind of
confront people with this--

:49:05
This shocking image
of repressed femininity.

:49:09
Right. Exactly.
:49:11
Well, I think it's a really
wonderful piece...

:49:14
and it illustrates perfectly
what I was saying...

:49:17
about not being afraid
to use controversial imagery.

:49:23
Oh. Well, this looks like
the work of Phillip.

:49:33
Hey, you see that guy
over there?

:49:36
-Which one?
-The blond guy over there.

:49:42
He gives me, like,
a total boner.

:49:44
He's, like, the biggest idiot
of all time.

:49:47
You guys
up for some reggae tonight?

:49:50
OK, you're right.
:49:54
Sometimes
I think I'm going crazy...

:49:56
from sexual frustration.
:49:58
And you haven't heard
of the miracle of masturbation?
