[Alma thinks the stars at night look really pretty, but he knows they're not real. He bets the real ones look even prettier.]
Yeah I can do that! [Alma moves over and starts to make another ball like the one that he just made, only smaller.]
So...if you copy nature, but it's not real, then it's art? How close can art get to being real?
[It's not as completely off-hand a question as it sounds, if only because thinking about not-real things and copies makes Alma think of what Road said earlier.]
