– That’s what I love about music.

– One of the most banal scenes is suddenly invested with so much meaning, you know? All these banalities, they’re suddenly turned into these… these beautiful, effervescent pearls. From music. I’ve got to say, as I’ve gotten older, these pearls are just… becoming increasingly more and more rare to me.
– More string than pearls?
– Yeah. You’ve got to travel over a lot more string to get to the pearls. This moment is a pearl, Gretta.
– It sort of is, isn’t it?
– All this has been a pearl.
