| [00:10.336] | 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 |
