Chapter 22 (cont'd)
J.P. called out with command, "All right, we're doing the forward backward algorithm of filming today. Let's film the gentlemen out on the deck. Weather is 'king' in our industry. We have been given the gift of a beautiful evening. Let's capitalize on it and shoot that scene.
Calvin and Bart had already set up their cameras and were ready to film. The Crew had all done a smashing job of setting the scene and J.P. stepped into a charmed position.
Carl and Richard are reclining and relaxing on the outdoor deck of this humble 1940's home in this scene.
"Ahh, how did the two of us ever come into friendship, Carl?"
"Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is, to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason," Richard quoted.
"True! Good scientific approach. Is this a new wisdom quote for you Richard?"
"My friend, you give me credit for a masterful artistic disguise. No, no, Leonardo da Vinci said that."
"Da Vinci? You are in a very agreeable mood indeed when you quote a polymath. Of course, you have already found the connecting thread in our relationship with that example. No, we will have no debates tonight. You have found the balance. This is the measure of our relationship, my friend. An architect and a physicist- a Vitruvian symmetry. I shall not even try to match your example." Carl lifted his glass and toasted his colleague, "To Da Vinci! I applaud you, my friend."
"To the man who understood that art and science were a foregone conclusion," Richard toned.
"And," Carl continued the weighty measures interchange, "painted his way to heaven."
