ALISON: Caption: I leapt out of the closet and four months later, my father killed himself by stepping in front of a truck... |
| [00:21.525] |
While I was in college... exploding into my new life... you were sitting here, reading a book |
| [00:34.911] |
SMALL ALISON: Daddy, you saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa one time, right? |
| [00:39.046] |
BRUCE: I did... What's that? |
| [00:42.409] |
SMALL ALISON: In school, we're learning maps and globes and Ms. Winsor said draw a map of all the places people in our family have been to. |
| [00:48.205] |
They're for showing in class tomorrow |
| [00:51.750] |
BRUCE: What's this? |
| [00:53.055] |
SMALL ALISON: Okay, so this is a keystone because Pennsylvania is the Keystone State. |
| [00:57.519] |
Inside this square, that's Beech Creek... See? |
| [01:01.450] |
Bridge, Ford Creek, school, Fun Home, our house, uh, Aunt Jean and Uncle Randy's house |
| [01:08.289] |
This is Germany. Oh! John, Christian, me. See? |
| [01:13.506] |
Floating in bubbles because we're not born yet. |
| [01:16.827] |
BRUCE: That is very interesting. Now, let me show you how we could make it better. |
| [01:22.050] |
You have the potential to become a real artist. |
| [01:25.418] |
Do you know that? You do. |
| [01:28.279] |
But, you have to study the forms, you have to learn the rules. |
| [01:32.222] |
Now, let's talk about composition. Now, this is all over the place. Pick one area. |
| [01:37.607] |
SMALL ALISON: Hmm... the Keystone State! |
| [01:39.679] |
BRUCE: No, that's still too much. Here, watch this |
| [01:43.787] |
Okay, I'm going to draw our mountains... |
| [01:47.475] |
See? See that? See how I'm shading them. That gives them dimension |
| [01:55.486] |
(sung) Make this part look rugged, mhmm |
| [01:58.617] |
Allegheny Plateau |
| [02:01.429] |
This dark shaded stripe, bum bum bum |
| [02:05.087] |
Is the front |
| [02:06.659] |
And paint the long ridges and valleys below, mhmm |
| [02:13.487] |
SMALL ALISON: I want the whole state |
| [02:14.531] |
BRUCE: I'm trying to explain to you, you can't do that. |
| [02:17.316] |
SMALL ALISON: But, let me try! |
| [02:17.841] |
BRUCE: No, Allison. This is how it should look. |
| [02:19.395] |
SMALL ALISON: But I like the way mine looks! |
| [02:20.441] |
BRUCE: No you can't do that unless you want to ruin it! |
| [02:22.262] |
I'm trying to teach you something important! |
| [02:24.264] |
HELEN: Bruce, it's a drawing. It doesn't matter |
| [02:28.131] |
BRUCE: It doesn't matter? She's taking it into to school. She's showing it in class... |
| [02:32.682] |
You know what, nevermind. |
| [02:35.047] |
You want to take some half-baked mess into school. You want to embarrass yourself. |
| [02:38.990] |
Doesn't matter to me. Do what you want. I don't care |
| [02:42.363] |
SMALL ALLISON: No, I... I like the one you did Daddy |
