Baroque exhibition at the V&A
R: It says here the word "baroque" might come from the portuguese "barroca" which was used to refer to these misshapen pearls. So, your family name means misshapen pearls! That's you, a misshapen pearl!
C: Thanks a lot!
R: Well, you're precious but a little bit weird.
C: .... actually, I like that.

R: So this exhibition is about the history of cheesiness?

R: Hmmmm. How can you tell the difference between bad baroque art and good baroque art?
