A Stolen Life Page #4

SKIP IT.

WHY, KATIE.

THIS IS SO:

UNLIKE YOU.

PAT, DO YOU KNOW BILL?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE

KIND OF THINGS HE LIKES?

THE KIND OF LIFE

HE LIKES,

WHAT HE DREAMS OF DOING?

YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN

ANYBODY LIKE HIM BEFORE.

WHEN BILL'S KIND FALL

IN LOVE, THEY MEAN IT.

KATIE, I KNOW THE

KIND OF PERSON BILL IS.

AND I AM MAD:

ABOUT HIM.

YOU MUST BELIEVE ME.

YOU SAID YOURSELF

ONLY A MINUTE AGO

THAT IT WASN'T ANYONE'S

FAULT, AND IT ISN'T.

IT JUST HAPPENED.

I BELIEVE YOU.

AND I WISH YOU ALL THE

HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD.

GO ON TO BED, PAT.

GO ON, BEFORE I MAKE

A FOOL OF MYSELF.

PLEASE.

DON'T LOOK AT HIM,

PAT. LOOK AT THE CAMERA.

TAKE IT EASY,

BILL. IT'S ONLY YOUR WEDDING!

IT'LL BE OVER

IN A SECOND, KIDS.

YOU MAKE A HANDSOME

COUPLE, MR. AND MRS. EMERSON.

LOOK AT THE BIRDIE.

GET READY.

THAT'S IT.

HOLD IT!

HOLD IT!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND NOW I'D LIKE

TO PROPOSE A TOAST.

MAY I?

HAS EVERYONE CHAMPAGNE?

YES.

WELL...

HERE'S TO THE LOVELIEST BRIDE

OF THE YEAR...

OR ANY YEAR.

PAT.

TO PAT.

THANK YOU.

ANY REGRETS?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

HA HA!

HERE'S TO FREDDIE,

THE LOVELIEST GUARDIAN

OF THE YEAR...

OR ANY YEAR.

THANK YOU, PAT, BUT YOU'VE

GOT A BETTER ONE NOW.

TO FREDDIE.

TO FREDDIE.

DARLING, I'LL MEET YOU IN 20 MINUTES.

OH, SHE'S LEAVING!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

GOOD-BYE, KATIE.

GOOD-BYE, BILL.

I WISH YOU:

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING.

THANKS.

OH, MISS KATE,

IF ONLY YOUR MOTHER COULD

HAVE LIVED TO SEE THIS DAY.

I KNOW, MRS. JOHNSON.

HELLO, FREDDIE.

IS THERE ANYTHING

I CAN DO FOR YOU, KATE?

NO, THANK YOU,

FREDDIE, DARLING.

THAT'S SWEET OF YOU.

DON'T WORRY

ABOUT ME. I JUST...

WANTED TO GET AWAY

FOR A WHILE.

WE BOTH MUSTN'T BE

IN HERE, FREDDIE.

YOU GO ON BACK, AND I'LL-I'LL

BE OUT IN A FEW MINUTES.

FORGET IT-

PATRICIA, BILL,

EVERYTHING.

THERE'S NOTHING

YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

I KNOW THERE ISN' ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

WHAT WILL YOU DO,

KATE?

OH, KEEP BUSY.

PAINT.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING.

THAT'S MY GIRL.

OH, OH, KATE, DEAR?

KATE, THIS IS

SYLVESTER PRINGLE.

MISS BOSWORTH.

HOW DO YOU DO, MR. PRINGLE?

THIS IS A GREAT PLEASURE.

I READ YOUR COLUMN

EVERY DAY.

IN FACT, I'M QUITE

A FAN OF YOURS.

AND I AM NOW A FAN OF

YOURS, MISS BOSWORTH.

YOU HAVE QUITE A FLAIR FOR COLOR.

A TOUCH OF:

ROUSSEAU?

I WISH THA WERE TRUE.

I'M A GREAT ADMIRER

OF ROUSSEAU.

EXCUSE ME FOR:

BREAKING IN HERE,

BUT, KATE, DO YOU KNOW

THAT MAN OVER THERE?

NO.

NOT EXACTLY THE TYPE OF ANYONE

YOU EXPECT TO SEE AT A PLACE LIKE THIS.

I'M GOING TO TELL HIM

TO GET OUT.

NO, FREDDIE. HE'S PROBABLY

SOME YOUNG ART STUDENT.

YES, BUT LOOK AT HIM.

I WAS A STUDENT MYSELF ONCE. LET ME GO.

EXCUSE ME,

MR. PRINGLE.

YOU'RE GOOD

AT THAT.

NECESSITY IS:

THE MOTHER OF INVENTION.

YOU BY ANY CHANCE

AN ARTIST?

ENOUGH OF AN ARTIST TO HAVE MY

OWN OPINIONS OF THIS EXHIBITION.

THEN YOU'RE

A CRITIC AS WELL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A CRITIC

TO RECOGNIZE AN AMATEUR.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE

THAT SHE'S AN AMATEUR?

WHO IS KIDDING WHOM?

MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE DON' SEEM TO SHARE YOUR OPINION.

YOU MEAN THIS COLLECTION

OF FRIENDS?

HAVE YOU HEARD THE GAB

THAT'S FLOATIN' AROUND HERE?

"THEY'RE SO DIVINE.

THEY'RE SO LOVELY."

I THINK I MIGHT AS WELL TELL

YOU I PAINTED THIS COLLECTION.

I WAS WONDERING HOW LONG

IT WOULD TAKE YOU TO SAY SO.

HOW DID YOU GET IN?

I WALKED IN.

I'M SURPRISED

YOU TOOK THE TROUBLE.

I WAS HUNGRY:

AND THIRSTY.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I PAINT.

WELL, THEN,

YOU ARE AN ARTIST.

I'VE NEVER HAD AN EXHIBITION,

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING AT.

I HAVEN'T HAD

THE OPPORTUNITY.

IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

ARE YOU MAKING ME

AN OFFER?

I THINK I'D LIKE TO

SEE SOME OF YOUR WORK

TO FIND OUT WHETHER

YOU'RE A PHONY OR NOT.

COME ON.

I'LL SHOW YOU.

NOW?

NOW OR NEVER.

IS IT FAR?

NOT IF YOU PAY:

FOR THE TAXI.

I'LL GET MY COAT.

MEET YOU OUTSIDE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER,

KNOCKED OUT AFTER 5 FLOORS?

COME IN.

DON'T WORRY. THIS IS STRICTLY

ON AN INTELLECTUAL BASIS.

THERE ARE SOME MORE

ON THE TABLE.

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH.

MIGHT HAVE KNOWN YOU

WOULDN'T GO FOR MY STUFF.

YOUR KIND:

NEVER DOES.

IF YOU'D STOP BEING

CLASS-CONSCIOUS FOR A MINUTE,

I'D LIKE TO

SAY SOMETHING.

GO AHEAD.

I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.

YOU MOST CERTAINLY

ARE NOT A PHONY.

WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

BOW FROM THE WAIST?

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

KARNOCK.

HAVEN'T YOU

ANY OTHER NAME?

ONE'S GOOD ENOUGH.

IF YOU DISLIKE ME

SO INTENSELY,

WHY DID YOU ASK ME TO COME

UP AND LOOK AT YOUR WORK?

YOU ASKED ME.

AND NOW THAT YOU'RE DONE WITH THE

GREAT HONOR OF PRAISING MY WORK,

I SUPPOSE I'LL HAVE TO

START PRAISING YOURS.

WHAT'S WRONG

WITH MY WORK?

EVERYTHING.

CHIEFLY BECAUSE:

YOU'RE WHAT YOU ARE-

STIFF, INGROWN, AFRAID.

I BET YOU'RE

NOT EVEN A WOMAN.

I KNOW YOUR KIND.

SOMEONE WAY BACK

IN YOUR FAMILY:

WAS CLEVER ENOUGH

TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY,

AND THEN HIS SON

MADE SOME MORE.

AND THEN HIS SON HAD THE GREA PROBLEM OF LEARNING HOW TO SPEND IT.

THAT'S PROBABLY BEEN

GOING ON EVER SINCE.

SO HERE YOU ARE, THE

LAST GASP OF THE LINE-

DABBLING AWAY AT BEING AN

ARTIST, WITH A CAPITAL "A."

WHILE SOMEONE LIKE ME,

WHO'S REALLY GOT SOMETHING,

CAN'T EVEN AFFORD A

DECENT PAD OF DRAWING PAPER

OR A PIECE OF CHALK,

OR NOT TO MENTION PAINTS.

WHY DID YOU SAY...

I'M NOT EVEN

A WOMAN?

THAT ALWAYS GETS 'EM.

YOU CAN CRITICIZE

A WOMAN'S WORK,

BUT WHEN YOU SUGGES SHE'S NOT A BALL OF FIRE,

OH, BOY!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

I THINK:

I'D BETTER BE GOING.

OK.

GOOD NIGHT,

MR. KARNOCK.

YOU'RE NOT A HOPELESS CASE, YOU KNOW.

HOW ENCOURAGING.

I'LL BE SEEING YOU.

KEEP:

YOUR FOOT STILL.

GET THE GLARE OFF

YOUR FACE, SQUARE HEAD.

BOY, YOU SURE GOT A NERVE,

COMING IN HERE AND TAKING OVER.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

I'M GETTIN' TIRED OF YOU.

YOU TALK:

TOO MUCH.

KARNOCK, YOU'RE BEING

A BIT ROUGH ON HER.

YEAH. I GOT A RIGH TO MY OWN OPINION.

NOT WITH THAT BRAIN, YOU HAVEN'T.

I WON'T SIT FOR YOU

ANOTHER MINUTE.

HAVE:

A CIGARETTE, DIEDRA.

I THINK WE ALL:

NEED A BREATHER.

I TOLD YOU THIS:

WOULDN'T WORK OUT.

WHO FOOLS AROUND

WITH MODELS, ANYWAY?

WE SHOULD HAVE GONE OU IN THE STREETS.

WE SHOULD HAVE PAINTED

WHAT WE SAW.

IT'S NO GOOD.

WE'LL HAVE TO TRY

SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

THE POSE IS ALL WRONG.

DON'T SAY THAT, KARNOCK.

IT'S SO AWFULLY GOOD.

I WISH I COULD DO

HALF AS WELL.

CUT THE COMPLIMENTS.

LOOK AT THAT.

JUST LOOK AT THAT.

COME HERE.

JUST LOOK:

AT THAT ARM.

IT'S LIKE THE...

LIKE THE TRUNK:

OF A TREE.

THERE IS A BONE:

UNDER THAT FLESH.

YOU'RE NOT JUST DRAWING A

BUNCH OF APPLES ON A PLATTER.

YOU'RE DRAWING

A HUMAN BEING.

IF YOU WANT TO DO A LIVING WOMAN, DO IT.

I'M TRYING.

YOU QUI BULLYING HER!

SHUT UP!

SHE WAS DOING ALL RIGH UNTIL YOU CAME HERE.

I MAY BE PRESUMING TO ASK

THE GREAT GENIUS A QUESTION,

BUT HAVE YOU EVER

SOLD ANYTHING?

SCRAM. BEAT IT.

GO HOME!

I CAN'T GET OUT OF HERE

QUICK ENOUGH TO SUIT ME.

IT AIN'T YOUR FAULT,

MISS BOSWORTH.

KARNOCK, IT'S TIME WE SETTLED

A FEW THINGS BETWEEN US.

YOU'RE MOST WELCOME TO USE
