Rick: I can`t see why this is the most expensive painting in the exhibition.
John: Really? I think it`s the best painting in here. It`s certainly much more interesting than some of the other works we`ve seen.
Rick: Maybe, but I like paintings which have a more original subject and are painted in brighter colours than this one. Take, Picasso`s Guernica, for example. Now, that`s a fascinating work of art!
John: Are you kidding? It`s a painting abour war! It`s one of the saddest paintings I`ve ever seen!
