Morning.

She's closed.

Morrell's open.

Why don't you go there?

They'll take your word.

But only on commission if it sells.

That's no use to me.

No re-needs the money?

As always.

Don't you?

Oh, that's why I never argue with Madame

de La Grue.

Oh, those kittens.

They were so cute.

Hmph.

I can't see any price tag, Martha.

English spoken?

Mm-hmm.

Well, look.

Genuine workmanship.

hand-painted on high-quality canvas by great

French artists for reasonable prices.

Oh, Edward, those kittens.

Can't you just see them peeking across our

living room?

No.

No, I can't, Martha.

I swear, you got no soul.

No soul at all.

She's here.

Who's first?

It's open now, dear.

And we do have time.

You're too proud, Henri.

Can't afford that.

Old La Grue nose.

Falls in your court, baby.

No.

I shall not sell my soul today.

I refuse.

Absolutely.

All right.

Starve.

Yeah.

No.

Two thousand francs, madam.

How much?

Oh, yes.

Four hundred and seventy-five dollars.

It's a gift.

Oh, Edward.

I sell at no profit at all.

Shall I say what I paid for it?

Eighteen hundred francs.

And with the overhead, Zerri Montmartre.

But you know, with this artist, you cannot

bargain.

He dictates to me.

One's always a slave of genius.

Yeah, well, I don't know.

You make a good investment.

And also you encourage the artist.

One moment.

Thank you very much.

And thank you.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Oh, thank you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Come in.

Upstairs.

Your kittens don't sell.

But they do.

Those American, they're just my ones.

Only because I gave your picture away to

make room for more popular subjects.

Now, I'm ready.

Are you?

Mm-hmm.

But remember, if you ask one franc more

than I've written here, I shall not buy

your picture.

Looks to me you dashed it off in

half an hour.

Oh, look, you must be joking.

You really enjoy this, don't you?

Naturally.

It's my living.

And yours.

But you artists have such inflated ideas about

your own worth.

I know what I'm prepared to pay.

It's here.

Ask for too much, no deal.

Oh, come on.

Ask for too little, and I'll buy the

price you have named.

I know that.

I like everything to be quite clear.

The ball is in your court, my dear.

Well...

Let's say...

400 and...

No, wait.

300 and...

300 francs?

No.

You overpriced yourself.

100 francs?

That's all it's worth to me.

Good morning.

He's drunk already?

I won't ask much this time.

200 francs, OK?

Done.

In the end, everyone learns.

Right.

Thanks for nothing.

You don't want to know what I would

have paid for the clown?

No.

Yes, you do.

Everyone does.

1,000 francs.

Cash.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Thank you.

Look at you.

Look at your death.

Sounds good.

When did you last eat?

I had a big lunch.

Liar.

Hey, hey, hey.

You despise yourself, don't you?

It is my drink.

I've watched you there today, night after night,

killing yourself with this stuff.

How old are you?

What's the idea?

You've sold out to Madame Legrue, haven't you?

Who's the Pope Catholic?

Thick.

It's quite good.

No, I meant you.

Stupid.

I should go home soon.

Hello, Graham.

Graham.

Can't you see it yet?

No.

Graham.

Graham.

No, Graham.

Graham.

No, Graham.

you stop painting nudes.

I never buy nudes, and I never sell

them.

I load dirty pictures.

Don't forget, never bring me a nude.

No, no, no, it's another landscape, madam.

All right.

Upstairs.

No, before we go up to the office,

I'd just like to say, uh, I've been

taking my paintings for two years now, and

what with inflation, cost of living...

Don't you imagine you'll get more money because

you're living with that...

what does she call herself?

A mother?

What's that got to do with it?

Remember, Mackenzie, the ball is in your court.

Madam McGrew, I would like 800 francs for

this painting, 800.

Uh, it's a lovely piece of work.

Uh, in fact, it can even be improved.

I'll show you where it really belongs.

Yay!

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money,

money, money, money, money, money, money...

Oh, lights are on.

Someone's home.

There she is.

Now, if you are going to paint garbage

for money, you've got to get the money.

And you've got to get double the money,

double the money, you know.

Thank you.

Of course.

Mrs. LeGrew gave me so much.

I don't even have to do this stuff

anymore.

I mean, real, real landscapes.

Liar!

Of course I'm a liar.

What do you expect, huh?

Here, this, this, get rid of this.

Get rid of this.

Get out.

Get out.

Stop!

Hey!

Don't do anything.

Listen.

Come here.

Oh.

Listen.

I am pregnant.

Oh.

What?

And you are an imbecile.

I'm not arguing.

I'm going to have this baby, okay?

We both are.

Oh, right, you want a baby?

You have a baby.

I'm telling you!

It's yours!

Your child!

My child?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You're having a baby.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Oh, that's nice.

There's no money.

Listen, we must get married.

Because no child of mine is going to

grow up without a father and a mother

and a nice house to grow up in

and live in.

Besides, I love you.

A house.

Yes.

But not here, back where I come from.

In Algeria.

Yeah.

Where he will get a son and have

relations like my uncle and aunt.

You know, they run a cafe, they'd give

anything for me to go back there.

You're dreaming.

No, no, no.

Meanwhile, you can paint.

Yes, I'll paint and we'll make millions of

dollars and we'll be famous.

Simple.

Look, Le Gru does not buy nudes.

She'll buy this one.

She hates them.

She absolutely hates them.

It's an obsession with her.

Faint.

All right, Countess.

Here you are.

Count paint.

You know, when I feel free.

You will be.

What are you doing that for?

You look gorgeous.

Thank you, Green.

How dare

you?

Get out.

I don't do business with your kind.

You'll do business with me.

I'm doing you a favour, Le Gru.

I could have taken this to Forel.

This is a masterpiece.

And I know you can't refuse it.

A masterpiece.

Yes.

You are an outrage.

Only a whore would have posed for a

picture like this.

Yes, madame.

Anyone can do that.

Get out of that chair.

I will.

When you have bought that picture.

Buy it.

I will not.

Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

Don't you imagine I'm going to buy this

obscenity.

If you don't, Forel will buy it.

And he will put it in the middle

of his window.

So everyone in Montmartre can see it.

Then everyone in Paris.

Then all the American tourists.

Because I will instruct Forel not to sell

for at least a year.

Take it over, Le Gru.

Think very carefully.

This is blackmail.

That's what it is.

Plain blackmail.

Yes.

When you have bought it, you can destroy

it.

If you wish.

How much do you intend to steal from

me?

That's up to you.

The ball is in your court.

I've done what you do.

I've written it here.

You get just one chance in this game.

As you know.

After all, you invented it, didn't you?

Everyone knows the way you destroy artists.

Take your grave, Mackenzie.

Bury yourself.

But now he's painted this.

And it's your turn to know how it

feels.

So.

What do you bid for my body or

face?

How much are you after?

I'll give you a broad idea, okay?

My man and I are moving to Algeria.

We will need travel money.

Suitcases.

Trunks.

A moped.

We want to buy a small house there.

A house?

I certainly will not.

But so I'll display your picture.

Everyone will hear about you.

And know what a greedy hypocrite you have

been all your life.

Your business will suffer.

And you will be a laughing stock.

So now.

We'll need a little extra to put in

the bank, like respectable people do.

And so that Mackenzie never has to sell

himself cheap again.

Just add it up.

It won't take you long.

A hundred thousand francs.

For the house.

With a studio for Mackenzie.

A hundred and fifty thousand francs for the

house and the studio.

Keep digging, Lagrue.

It's to save your business.

And your face.

All right.

Fifty thousand more to put in the bank.

Oh, come on, Lagrue.

You made millions of francs in your time

in just this way.

You can afford it and not even notice.

Oh, this picture is disgusting.

Come on.

Hurry.

Three hundred thousand francs.

Come on.

Four hundred thousand francs.

That's our last word.

Absolutely.

I'll come with you to the bank.

Ah, the boy's in pain.

Drive on.

One moment.

Madame Lagrue.

What is?

You've got the cash.

Drive on.

This is for you.

So you can see what we would have

accepted.

Ah!
