Mr. Wentworth

But you put art on the same plane as invention. An improved motor car scraps the old model. But you can't improve art!

Joe

No, certainly not. We don't try to. We just do our best. We recover art.

Mr. Wentworth

Recover it?

Silvia

Yes—discover it all over again. It gets lost, lost in hard and fast rules or sentimentality, then a genius comes along and digs down to the buried city—creation. Art isn't like invention. It's more like religion.

Mr. Wentworth

There you are!
