The Artist Scene 17 Summary

  • George sits pensively in his living room, listening to a record that spins silently.
  • His wife says those four words everyone dreads hearing: "We have to talk." She asks him why he refuses to speak. (Hey, we're all wondering the same thing.)
  • She tells him she's unhappy. "So are millions of us," he responds.
  • Are they talking about their relationship or the "modern" world more generally? It's hard to tell.
