KEVIN (surveying vast piles of supplies): Out of curiosity, how did you fit all this in your studio?

URSULA: Um.

KEVIN: Can you fold space-time? Do you carry a portable pocket universe? Was the closet actually bigger on the outside than the inside?

URSULA: Pact with the devil.

(The sad truth is that the stoffice, at 400+ square feet, is actually larger than my entire apartment in St. Paul, where I lived for at least four years and where I would paint by propping canvases on the couch and kneeling on the floor.  It’s been an absurdly long and productive decade.)
