"No, not anything. They name a lot of cars or clothes or swimming pools mostly and say how swell! but they all say the same things and nobody says anything different from anybody else. And most of the time in the caves they have the joke boxes on and the same jokes most of the time, or the musical wall lit and all colored patterns running up and down, but its only color and abstract. And at the museums, have you ever been? All abstract. That's all there is now. My uncle says its all different now. A long time back sometimes pictures said things or even showed people."
