Well, none, but-- GEORGE. None! And I don't wonder. Who the devil is going to buy pictures with triangular clouds and square sheep? (BRIAN, _annoyed, moves up_ R.C.) And they call that Art nowadays! Good God, man (_moving up to the windows_), go outside and look at the clouds! OLIVIA (_busy stitching rings on curtains_). If he draws round clouds in future, George, will you let him marry Dinah? (GEORGE _looks round, annoyed._ BRIAN _is hopeful and comes down towards_ DINAH.) GEORGE (_upset by this, coming down to head of_ L.C. _table_). What-- what? Yes, of course, you would be on his side--all this Futuristic nonsense. (OLIVIA _commences to sew_.) I'm just taking these clouds as an example. (_Crossing to_ BRIAN.)
