GREGORY (Pulling a sagging board off the window) We don't have to leave.
(Music starts: The Blue Rose Gallery, Inc., pg.)
MIKEY No? Why the hell not, Newman?
GREGORY We could open a gallery.
MIKEY This God forsaken dump? A gallery? What, a cockroach gallery?
GREGORY REPAINT THE WALLS.
TEAR UP THE FLOOR.
MIKEY SAY WHAT?
GREGORY SPACKLE THE HOLES.
PUT WINDOWS THERE,
SO TALL THAT YOU CAN SEE FOREVER.
JULIE I THINK HE'S ON TO SOMETHING.
GREGORY HARDWOOD, CEMENT,
OR STEEL AND GLASS.
GAZLAY WHAT THE—?
GREGORY TRACK LIGHTS AND PLANTS;
UPDATE THE PLACE.
WE'LL GIVE EACH FLAT A WHOLE MAKEOVER.
OTTO IT'S SO SIMPLE.

MIKEY US? OPEN UP OUR OWN FREAKIN' GALLERY?
YOU REALLY ARE A DREAMER.
OTTO COME ON, MIKEY.
JULIE CAN'T YOU SEE IT?

(Music continues under the following:)
OTTO But wait a moment, whose work will we show?
GREGORY We're artists. We'll show our work.
MIKEY We're artists? Whose we? You mean Otto and me?
GREGORY And (a beat) me.
MIKEY Hang on, Newman. We haven't even seen your stuff yet. You're a novice.
What makes you think we want to exhibit your so-called art?
(GREGORY walks over to one of the huge canvasses and removes the blanket. They all gasp.)
OTTO Jesus, Newman.
MIKEY What, did you sell your soul?
GREGROY You like it?
JULIE Where did you learn to paint like that?
GREGORY I guess I just like to paint.
GAZLAY Hey, look. It's good work, but it doesn't matter. Right? The gallery's just a front.
OTTO No! We could make it work.
WHEN I WAS YOUNG IN GERMANY,
I DREAMED OF PAINTING IN NEW YORK,
BUT THIS IS LIKE MY WILDEST DREAM.
MIKEY SOMEBODY PINCH HIM!
OTTO HEY DON'T PINCH ME!
MIKEY THANK GOD THEY KICKED ME OUT OF PRATT.
I'M GONNA SHOW 'EM ALL—
GAZLAY WAIT, GUYS! A GALLERY WILL BE EXPENSIVE.
JULIE I'LL COVER IT.
