Dialogue

Kitty March: You know those art galleries on Fifth Avenue? The prices they charge! I saw one little picture that cost fifty-thousand dollars. They call it, uh, 'Seezan'. Christopher Cross: Cezanne? Oh, he was a great French painter. I'd like to own that painting. Kitty March: You would? For fifty-thousand dollars? Christopher Cross: You can't put any price on masterpieces like that.

Dialogue

Kitty March: How long does it take you to paint a picture? Christopher Cross: Sometimes a day, sometimes a year. You can't tell. It has to grow. Kitty March: I never knew paint could grow. Christopher Cross: Feeling grows. You know, that's the important thing, feeling. You take me. No one ever taught me how to draw, so I just put a line around what I feel when I look at things. Kitty March: Yeah I see. Christopher Cross: It's like falling in love I guess. You know... first you see someone, then it keeps growing, until you can't think of anyone else. Kitty March: That's interesting. Christopher Cross: The way I think of things, that all art is. Every painting, if it's any good, is a love affair. Kitty March: I never heard anyone talk like that before. Christopher Cross: There aren't many people you can talk to this way. So you keep it to yourself. You walk around with everything bottled up.
