1:25:01
Sam, what I wanna know is where'd
you paint it and who is it.
1:25:04
First of all, it's not a painting,
it's a drawing.
1:25:07
Matter of fact, it's a pastel and...
as for the model...
1:25:12
- It just came to me out of the blue.
- You don't say.
1:25:15
Why are you acting
like a deputy sheriff?
1:25:17
That tramp I picked up,
the one with the stolen shoes?
1:25:20
Said he got 'em off a dead man?
1:25:23
He described him very carefully. The
description fits the picture exactly.
1:25:27
A tramp who probably can't keep
his job and drinks too much.
1:25:30
I wouldn't think his word
was very reliable.
1:25:33
Got him locked up
in the schoolhouse.
1:25:36
- I took the painting to show him -
- Drawing, if you don't mind.
1:25:38
I took the drawing to show him.
1:25:41
He almost fainted.
Said it was the same face.
1:25:43
Where'd you paint it, Sam?
1:25:47
From my vast subconscious.
1:25:49
Sam, I hate to say this,
but I don't believe you.
1:25:53
With all this talk,
I've lost interest in the game.
1:25:55
If you'll forgive me,
I'll just run along home.
1:25:58
I'll see you all tomorrow.
1:26:03
What do you mean,
you don't believe me?
1:26:05
What I mean, Sam...
I ain't educated in fancy art...
1:26:10
but I do know the face of a dead
man when I see one, and this is it.
1:26:14
Calvin, perhaps I can
educate you to, um, 'fancy art.'
1:26:18
See this -
Portrait of a sleeping face.
1:26:22
A man, relaxed,
far removed from earthly cares.
1:26:27
It was conceived out of memory
and half-forgotten impulse,
1:26:31
and it emerged from the shadows
of abstract emotions,
1:26:33
until it was born full-grown from...
1:26:36
the mechanical realities
of my fingertips.
1:26:38
- Oh, now Sam, don't -
- I don't need a model to draw from.
1:26:41
Instead of creating a sleeping face,
I could have...
1:26:44
chosen an entirely different set
of artistic stimuli.
1:26:47
My subconscious is peopled
with enough faces to cover the Earth.
1:26:51
And the construction of the human
anatomy is so infinitely variable
1:26:55
as to lie beyond the wildest powers
of calculation.
1:26:58
Now, a raised eyelid, perhaps.
