- Morf Vandewalt: A bad review is better than sinking into the great glut of anonymity.
- German Woman #2: Was that a joke?
- Morf Vandewalt: Not that I'm aware of.
- German Woman #2: Ricky got drunk and crashed his car last night. He's in coma.
- German Woman #1: I heard he was crushed.
- Morf Vandewalt: By the car?
- German Woman #2: Your review.
- Josephina: Nothing is ever good enough for you.
- Morf Vandewalt: Well, it's my job. I'm selective. What are you even saying? Toss out taste and standards? Whisper the truth? What a tragic world that would be.
- Josephina: I make you hard, huh?
- Morf Vandewalt: You make me confused.
- Josephina: Tough headspace for a critic.
- Jon Dondon: [Talking about the piles of garbage bags on the floor] This is remarkable.
- Piers: It's not art.
- Voice: [Morf hearing voices] Undoubtedly one of the worst exhibits of contemporary art history. Piece for piece, it's the biggest waste of steel since the Titanic.
- Young Gallery Man: Is it contemporary?
- Young Gallery Woman: It cuts through the bullshit and gives form to true emotion.
- Older Gallery Man: What does it say?
- Older Gallery Woman: What do you feel?
- Morf Vandewalt: These deaths.The disappearance.Everything that is now happening,it's all connected to his art.Imbued with some spirit created out of some vital ideal.
- Rhodora Haze: It's a bit Baroque, don't you think?
- Piers: I am fighting to get back to creation, to revelation, the billion years of energy sparking through our brain.
- Morf Vandewalt: Critique is so limiting and emotionally draining.I've always wanted to do something long-form, beyond opinion.Dip my toe into an exploration of origin and essence.A metamorphosis of spirit into reality.
- Piers: Dependency murders creativity.Creativity plays with the unknown.No strategies exist that can enclose the endless realm of the new. Only trust in yourself can carry you past your fears and the already known.
- Rhodora Haze: That's Polly Anna, 1983.
