B What is?

A Beauty.

B So?

B Why what?

A What?

B No, why what … that’s probably why…?

B We don’t linger in front of the same pieces in an art gallery because you have weird taste.

A Taste can’t be weird. It’s just taste. Tastes differ. Chacun a son goût.

A Each to his own. It’s French for ‘each to his own’.

B Well say that then.

A It’s a beautiful language, French.

B If you like that kind of thing.

A A thing of beauty. A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

B I thought that was a dirty mind.

A I’m leaving you.

A Irreconcilable differences.

B You won’t get a penny!

A Beauty is worth paying for.
