Doodle

SQUIRREL: If this is just a doodle, it's incredible.

SQUIRREL: But if you put a lot of time into this... it's pretty pathetic.

All I Want

BIRD: ((All I want is for people to like my art.))

BIRD: ((And to not have to work too hard to make it.))

BIRD: ((And to get vast sums of money, fame, and fortune for it.))

BIRD: ((Is that so much to ask?))

Progress

Writing Process

SHELKEY: I am a writer.
SHELKEY: And I have a PROCESS.

SHELKEY: I pick a quiet spot. I clean the space. I make oolong tea.
SHELKEY: Then, I sit... and I WRITE.

A pause.

SHELKEY: Lastly, I quit writing forever and hurl my typewriter into the sea.

Great Art

A pause.

Checks watch.

SHELKEY: So maybe I'll just go for "OK" art.

Your Only Hobby

ROONIE: Is painting your only hobby?
SHELKEY: "Hobby"? "HOBBY"?

SHELKEY: Painting is not my "HOBBY". It's my LIFE! I EAT painting! I BREATHE painting! I sleep, I... I DREAM painting!

A pause.

SHELKEY: I also like mystery novels.
ROONIE: OOO... Me too...

Hope They Like This Song

SHELKEY: I hope they like this song. I need them to like me.
