White, a blank page or canvas |

The challenge: To bring order to the whole |
| [00:15.40] |
Through design, |
| [00:17.43] |
Composition, |
| [00:19.61] |
Balance, |

Light, |

And harmony. |

"Sunday In The Park With George" by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim. |
| [00:44.90] |
And I got to play George. George Seurat. |
| [00:48.89] |
But, ahm, I knew nothing about painting. |
| [00:51.69] |
So Carol, my wife, and I went off to Paris to the Musée d'Orsay to find his paintings. |
| [00:58.86] |
We turned up at this, eh, amazing building, |
| [01:02.77] |
and, eh, we went in and - |
| [01:05.69] |
Look, if you come from where I come from you would never expect to see these things in a whole lifetime. |
| [01:10.59] |
And there they were, things you'd only ever seen in books. |
| [01:12.90] |
So... Cezannes and... waterlilies... that Monet fellow... |
| [01:18.32] |
And, eh... and Degas... and, eh... Toulouse-Lautrecs and Van Goghs, and, eh... |
| [01:26.45] |
And then there was this one painting... a Seurat... |
| [01:32.63] |
Look, it's made of a sort of dots... |
| [01:37.50] |
Thousands, millions of dots... |
| [01:43.18] |
And then - I got the score! |
| [01:48.79] |
Talk about dots... |
| [01:50.37] |
Oh, so much to learn! |
| [01:52.22] |
And I have to learn to paint |
| [01:53.33] |
Paint sticks, paint dogs... |
| [01:55.35] |
Sorry, darling?... A baby?! |
| [01:59.17] |
When? How long?... |
| [02:01.99] |
But I've gotta paint hats! |
| [02:04.17] |
More red... |
| [02:06.28] |
Me, a father... |
| [02:08.39] |
And a little more red... |
| [02:09.85] |
And I have to improve my articulation |
| [02:12.32] |
Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue |
| [02:14.60] |
Even even... Good... |
| [02:16.59] |
And I have to rehearse my intonation |
| [02:19.73] |
Bumbum bum bumbumbum bumbum bum... |
| [02:23.54] |
And then I have to learn to count the beats |
| [02:25.37] |
(Two three four) |
| [02:26.93] |
More red... What? |
| [02:28.93] |

| [02:36.46] |
I don't care what we call it, I've gotta learn this song! |
| [02:38.41] |
(One two three four five six seven eight) |
| [02:41.40] |
More light! |
| [02:41.95] |
And right down in my guts, looming ever closer... |
| [02:44.84][04:17.59] |

And it's soft inside his eyes |
| [05:06.96] |
And you drown inside his eyes |
| [05:12.30] |
I could look at him forever... |
