  Mr. Smith : He's mythic.

• Mr. Smith : It's a great privilege to enter this room.

  Gil Hurn : It's studio, pal, it's not a shrine.

• Mr. Smith : [about an old series]  In many ways it was the height of televisual art.

• Van Conway : Who are you, Smith?

  Mr. Smith : I'm your greatest fan. And I will not let you fail me.

• Mr. Smith : It's... perfect.

  Gil Hurn : Well, it works.

  Mr. Smith : More than works, Mr. Hern. Much more. It's... mythic. The wanderer remembers his past. Brother slays brother. Very symmetrical. Very pleasing.

• Mr. Smith : But have faith, gentlemen. Your work will be seen and loved by millions. Your art will not be wasted.
