Waiting for...ever
I.: I think the problem is: you only have a finite amount of hours in this life that you can be patient while waiting for something only to figure out you're not gonna get it. You stand in line, they run out of tickets. You wait for a phone call, it doesn't come. You watch fifteen minutes of the show before your favorite show's cliffhanger-solving episode, and the President decides to make a special announcement.
W.: What're you saying?
I.: I'm saying: I give up. I will not want anything else in my life. Complacency just doesn't seem so bad right now.
W.: Someone will buy your paintings one day, I.
I.: I don't care. I quit.
W.: So now it's basically a long wait until you die so your paintings will be worth something.
I.: (sigh) Yeah.
W.:
I.: Wait.
W.: See? You can't get away from it.
