Quotes
-
Bruce Murphy : Would you remove it from the wall?
Whitley Gilbert : Oh, we haven't really set a price yet, Mr. Murphy, but I'm sure we can work something out after the exhibit.
Bruce Murphy : You misunderstand me. I want it removed from the gallery. It's obscene!

Whitley Gilbert : Mr. Murphy, art should challenge our assumptions about ourselves and the world, like the Impressionists did with their daring use of color and light. They were labeled obscene for painting women in petticoats. And Goya, with his Naked Maja, was persecuted by the Spanish Inquisition.
Dwayne Wayne : That's right and in "Do The Right Thing," when Mookie was rubbing the ice all over Tina? It was 125 degrees!
Whitley Gilbert : DWAYNE!
[to Bruce Murphy]
Whitley Gilbert : Mr. Murphy, when you silence the artist, society suffers, culture dies and Man is reduced to the state of brutishness from which he emerged.
Dwayne Wayne : That's what I was gonna say, Bunny.
