:17:02
- If there's a piece you had in mind...
- Indeed. They're very nice.
:17:05
- How are you, Momina?
- This is Clelia, a friend from Rome.
:17:10
She's in Turin to open a salon,
not to buy paintings.
:17:19
Here it is.
:17:20
I can't say you improved on her looks...
:17:22
but for a modern painter,
you did better than I expected.
:17:25
- Do you recognize her?
- Of course. It's Rosetta.
:17:33
- What is it?
- Have you seen her recently?
:17:36
A few days ago.
:17:37
You know she tried to kill herself
and almost succeeded?
:17:41
No! Why?
:17:43
- Are you sure you don't know?
- Me?
:17:47
Fortunately this woman
is a witness.
:17:51
Before she did what she did...
:17:53
Rosetta tried desperately to reach you
on the phone. Isn't that right?
:17:56
- Reach me?
- What was going on between you two?
:18:01
I painted her picture, that's all.
:18:04
And her parents haven't even
paid for it yet!
:18:06
Perhaps Rosetta thought
you were painting it as a gift.
:18:08
A gift?
Why would she think that?
:18:12
But who can tell with her?
I knew her like I knew other women.
:18:15
Less, 'cause she's not easy to get to know.
It wasn't easy painting her portrait.
:18:18
Besides, when she came to sit,
Nene was always here.
:18:21
What is it, dear?
:18:23
Rosetta tried to commit suicide.
:18:28
And apparently she did it
on my account.
:18:33
She's just the type to believe it.
:18:36
I'd like to know
what you're up to!
:18:38
You have to admit the circumstances
are very unusual.
:18:41
If I were going to kill myself,
I'd want to speak to anybody...
:18:45
but certainly not you.
:18:46
- To each his own.
- Exactly.
:18:49
I'm not here
to criticize Rosetta's taste.
:18:51
I'd just like to know why.
There has to be some reason!
:18:55
It wasn't me, all right?
