"So? I own it."
"Jane, uh, this isn't from your own creativity."
"I don't care, Mark. I've been called a poseur all my life. Now it's my chance to become a real artist!"
"Envy …"
"What’s that, Mark?"
"Listen, you've been so envious of people with any real talent you couldn't wait."
"I'm leveling up to them."
