Beta. We've been touching this problem all the time.
Kappa. Actually, we got on track many times, but were interrupted.
Alpha. Don't blame me.
Kappa. It was not you... not you only. We interrupted our discussion to proceed with the list.
Alpha. Aha! Thus goal can be disruptive!
Delta. Maybe there could be different goals?
Alpha. Look, like I said: suppose you go out to make a picture of your friend, OK? Then you see a beautiful flower, OK? And you pass it by, because you have another goal and you miss...
Beta. I believe that picture you are going to take can be as beautiful...
Gamma. And that one of the flower can be spoiled as well?
Kappa. Alpha is right, a creator has to be ready...
Beta. Actually, yes, you don't know for sure what happens in the end, because it wouldn't be creation otherwise.
Gamma. But this equally applies to both pictures! You aren't just "taking a picture" if you want it to turn out well.
Delta. Thus, there has to be a goal of some sort.
Kappa. OK, suppose you know what you want, I mean a picture... OK, you have a goal... You even have two goals...
Delta. I know: the goal number one -- to get something special on film, the goal number two -- to make it beautiful...
Alpha. Here we go! The goal number three -- to make it quick!
Beta. Of course -- to catch a moment when one and two meet.
Kappa. Let me finish, guys... Actually you helped a lot. Let me finish now.
Delta. Go ahead.
Kappa. What if you realize all the three goals, but cannot make it? You click, click, click... and nothing good comes out. What then?
Alpha. What then? You are a bad photographer then. That's it.
Beta. I got it. You can know, what you want,.. you know how you want it, you try to be quick... and you miss, because do not have skills. Is that, where you were heading, Kappa?
Kappa. Maybe... I'm not sure. Just asked, because it's kind of an obvious question to ask.
Delta. I remember, it was Beta's assumption in the very beginning, that a talented author can achieve what he wants, right?
Alpha. What if he wants something stupid?
Gamma. "Stupid" is not an issue here. Stupid can be beautiful.
Alpha. Have an example?
Gamma. All right, have you watched "Chicago?"
Alpha. I did, so?
Kappa. Ha, Roxie is stupid and beautiful! That's right!
Alpha. She is not that stupid.
Beta. Hey, let's return one step back, it was interesting. Alpha said, it could happen, I mean a picture get spoiled, if the photographer could have a trivial aesthetic goal, or what?
Teacher. It is correct.
Alpha. I didn't know I am that smart!
Gamma. Remember that movie "The Majestic?" -- when the producer suggested changes to the movie scenario? -- in the beginning and in the end?
Kappa. Yea, yea! He said such stupid things!
Delta. And he could have them all done!
