Six Degrees Of Separation Page #7

- Japanese.

490

00:
32:32,360 -- 00:32:36,717

I've got Japanese looking for a Czanne.

I have a syndicate that'll buy the painting.

491

00:
32:36,840 -- 00:32:41,311

And there's this great Czanne coming

up for sale in a very messy divorce.

492

00:
32:41,440 -- 00:32:43,510

Wife doesn't want hubby to know...

493

00:
32:43,640 -- 00:32:48,668

I needed an extra $2,000,000.

Geoffrey called. We invited him for dinner.

494

00:
32:48,800 -- 00:32:52,713

- Tonight was a nervous, casual, big thing.

- Oh, boy, oh, boy.

495

00:
32:52,840 -- 00:32:55,149

- I couldn't tell.

- All the better.

496

00:
32:55,280 -- 00:32:57,589

I'm glad I helped.

497

00:
32:57,720 -- 00:32:59,392

You were wonderful.

498

00:
32:59,520 -- 00:33:02,353

I'm so pleased I was wonderful.

499

00:
33:02,480 -- 00:33:06,712

- All this and a pink shirt.

- Oh, please, keep it. Look at the time.

500

00:
33:06,840 -- 00:33:09,559

Oh, God. We should say our good-nights.

501

00:
33:09,680 -- 00:33:13,912

Oh, Christ, regretfully.

I want my father to meet you.

502

00:
33:14,040 -- 00:33:17,271

- We'd love to. Bring him up for dinner.

- Could I?

503

00:
33:17,400 -- 00:33:22,076

- See how easy it is?

- Sure. If Paul does the cooking.

504

00:
33:23,120 -- 00:33:25,076

Well, this is it.

505

00:
33:26,640 -- 00:33:29,473

- Good night.

- Oh. Good night.

506

00:
33:29,600 -- 00:33:31,556

Good night.

507

00:
33:35,000 -- 00:33:40,518

I want to get down

on my knees and thank God.

508

00:
33:40,640 -- 00:33:42,835

Money!

509

00:
33:42,960 -- 00:33:45,838

Who said "When artists dream,

they dream of money"?

510

00:
33:45,960 -- 00:33:48,713

God, I must be such an artist.

511

00:
33:48,840 -- 00:33:51,479

Bravo. Bravo!

512

00:
33:51,600 -- 00:33:53,079

Bravo!

513

00:
33:53,200 -- 00:33:55,156

Oh, God!

514

00:
33:56,800 -- 00:34:01,794

I don't want to lose our life here. I don't

want all the debt to pile up and crush us.

515

00:
34:01,920 -- 00:34:04,354

It won't. We're safe.

516

00:
34:05,360 -- 00:34:07,874

For a while.

517

00:
34:08,000 -- 00:34:10,594

We almost lost it, Ouis.

518

00:
34:10,720 -- 00:34:16,352

If I hadn't gotten this money, I would have

lost the Czanne. I had nowhere to find it.

519

00:
34:16,480 -- 00:34:19,677

Why don't you tell me

how much these things mean?

520

00:
34:19,800 -- 00:34:22,758

You wait until the last minute.

521

00:
34:22,880 -- 00:34:26,429

- I don't want to worry you.

- Not worry me?

522

00:
34:26,560 -- 00:34:28,516

I'm your partner.

523

00:
34:29,520 -- 00:34:31,750

- There is a God!

- And his name is?

524

00:
34:31,880 -- 00:34:34,235

- Geoffrey!

- No! Sidney!

525

00:
34:59,960 -- 00:35:04,750

You know, I had the strangest dream.

I dreamt of iCats./i

526

00:
35:04,880 -- 00:35:07,030

i(purring and mewing)/i

527

00:
35:07,160 -- 00:35:09,390

The movie.

528

00:
35:09,520 -- 00:35:12,159

Paul... I'm worried.

529

00:
35:12,280 -- 00:35:15,511

Is it right to make a movie of iCats?/i

530

00:
35:15,640 -- 00:35:20,555

I'll tell you why there has to be a movie

of iCats,/i Ouisa. May I call you Ouisa?

531

00:
35:20,680 -- 00:35:21,795

Yes.

532

00:
35:21,920 -- 00:35:24,514

I have no illusions

about the merits of iCats,/i

533

00:
35:24,640 -- 00:35:27,677

but the world has been

too heavy with the right-to-lifers -

534

00:
35:27,800 -- 00:35:32,237

protect the unborn, constitutional

amendments, when does life begin?

535

00:
35:32,360 -- 00:35:37,070

Or the converse - the end of life, the right

to die. Why is life, at this point in time,

536

00:
35:37,200 -- 00:35:41,796

so focused upon the very beginning of life

and the very end of life?

537

00:
35:41,920 -- 00:35:46,311

What about the 80 years we have to live

between those two inexorable book ends?

538

00:
35:46,440 -- 00:35:49,113

And you can get all that into iCats?/i

539

00:
35:50,680 -- 00:35:52,636

We're going to try.

540

00:
35:52,760 -- 00:35:55,035

Thank you. Thank you.

541

00:
35:55,160 -- 00:35:57,116

You shall.

542

00:
36:00,920 -- 00:36:04,276

This is what I dreamt.

I didn't dream, so much as realise this.

543

00:
36:04,400 -- 00:36:08,757

I feel so close to the paintings.

I'm not just selling, like pieces of meat.

544

00:
36:08,880 -- 00:36:12,759

I remembered why I loved paintings

in the first place, what got me into this.

545

00:
36:12,880 -- 00:36:14,552

I thought...

546

00:
36:14,680 -- 00:36:16,318

dreamt...

547

00:
36:18,080 -- 00:36:20,196

remembered...

548

00:
36:20,320 -- 00:36:22,834

how easy it is for a painter

to lose a painting.

549

00:
36:22,960 -- 00:36:26,350

He paints and paints,

works on a canvas for months,

550

00:
36:26,480 -- 00:36:30,189

and then, one day, he loses it.

551

00:
36:30,320 -- 00:36:34,472

Loses the structure, loses the sense of it.

You lose the painting.

552

00:
36:34,600 -- 00:36:38,912

I remembered asking my kids'

second-grade teacher:

553

00:
36:39,040 -- 00:36:42,350

"Why are all your students geniuses?"

554

00:
36:42,480 -- 00:36:47,110

Look at the first grade - blotches of green

and black. The third grade - camouflage.

555

00:
36:47,240 -- 00:36:50,357

But your grade, the second grade...

556

00:
36:50,480 -- 00:36:52,869

Matisses, every one.

557

00:
36:53,000 -- 00:36:55,958

You've made my child a Matisse.

558

00:
36:59,480 -- 00:37:01,675

Let me study with you.

559

00:
37:01,800 -- 00:37:04,712

Let me into the second grade.

560

00:
37:04,840 -- 00:37:06,956

What is your secret?

561

00:
37:07,080 -- 00:37:12,473

I don't have any secret. I just know when

to take their drawings away from them.

562

00:
37:12,600 -- 00:37:14,670

I dreamt of colour.

563

00:
37:14,800 -- 00:37:17,473

I dreamt of our son's pink shirt.

564

00:
37:17,600 -- 00:37:20,194

I dreamt of pinks and yellows.

565

00:
37:20,320 -- 00:37:23,835

And the new Van Gogh

the Museum of Modern Art got.

566

00:
37:23,960 -- 00:37:27,350

And the irises that sold for $53.9 million.

567

00:
37:27,480 -- 00:37:32,952

And, wishing a Van Gogh was mine,

I looked at my English hand-lasted shoes,

568

00:
37:33,080 -- 00:37:38,279

and thought of Van Gogh's tragic shoes,

and remembered ime/i as I was -

569

00:
37:38,400 -- 00:37:41,039

a painter losing a painting.

570

00:
37:43,240 -- 00:37:44,753

So. This morning.

571

00:
37:45,280 -- 00:37:49,034

iI sat in the kitchen, happily doing/i

ithe crossword puzzle in ink./i

572

00:
37:49,160 -- 00:37:50,878

iEverybody does it in ink./i

573

00:
37:51,000 -- 00:37:54,595

I've never met one person

who didn't say they didn't do it in ink.

574

00:
37:54,720 -- 00:37:58,952

iI sat there happily doing the puzzle./i

iI looked at the time. It was nearly seven./i

575

00:
37:59,080 -- 00:38:03,756

iAnd Paul had to meet his father,/i

iand I didn't want him to be late./i

576

00:
38:04,040 -- 00:38:05,951

i(groaning)/i

577

00:
38:06,080 -- 00:38:07,399

Paul?

578

00:
38:08,480 -- 00:38:10,516
