From “The Dilettantes”

HARRISON stands in front of the Mark Rothko Black-Form painting and WILLIS takes a picture with flash. SECURITY #2 enters from the darkness.

SECURITY #2
No flash, please.
(SECURITY #2 exits.)

WILLIS
Oh my god!

HARRISON
I just hate them.

WILLIS
Fascists.

HARRISON
Fascists?

WILLIS
Fascism against light.

HARRISON
Oh the worst kind!

WILLIS
Vampire fascists.

HARRISON
Vampire fascists.

WILLIS
That painting is too dark not to use a flash.

HARRISON
How will you know what color it is without it?

WILLIS
How will anyone know there are two colors in it if I don’t use a flash?

HARRISON
Like a vampire fascist cares about you.

WILLIS
Yet, I’m the ass hole here. Not the idiot who forgot to put color and light in his painting.

HARRISON
What an idiot.

WILLIS
You’re an idiot…
(WILLIS looks to see who painted it.)
Mark Rothko.

HARRISON
Rothko. What kind of a name is that?

WILLIS
Kind of sounds Russian.

HARRISON
Oh, comrade!

WILLIS
Guess they ran out of colors in communist times.

HARRISON
(In Russian accent)
You will paint in brand new style – the square.

WILLIS
(Joining in accent)
And we have one color – is black.

HARRISON
And not to hide circles in art as we are watching you.
