:11:04
Papa, what have you done?
:11:06
The room doesn't look
the same without her.
:11:23
What have l done?
:11:24
l'm giving the world an opportunity
of studying and viewing the Cellini Venus.
:11:29
Which is not by Cellini.
:11:31
Labels! lt's working with the Americans...
:11:34
that's given you this obsession
with labels and brand names.
:11:37
l wish you'd give up that ridiculous job.
:11:39
Don't you know you can't fake
sculpture anymore? lt's not like painting.
:11:43
l know about their so-called tests.
:11:47
Papa, they are not so-called. They are!
:11:52
One quick whiff of something
called potassium argon...
:11:55
and they can tell the age of the stone,
where it was quarried, when it was cut...
:12:01
and the name and address
of the man who did it.
:12:03
Why do you suppose l haven't sold it?
:12:05
l was offered recently....
lt gives me a twinge when l think of it.
:12:09
l was offered $1,000,000.
But l won't sell it.
:12:12
l don't even charge rent.
So, why should they test it?
:12:16
Did you hear Grammont say
100,000 souvenir postcards!
:12:20
They'll be mailed all over the world.
Our Venus!
:12:23
Don't you feel
a kind of thrilling glow in that?
:12:26
Chills run up and down my spine.
:12:29
The basic trouble with you
is that you're honest.
:12:32
l don't say that to hurt your feelings.
:12:35
l get dizzy spells
when we have these conversations, Papa.
:12:39
What you need is a brandy.
:12:43
My darling, what you must understand
is that l am pleased and proud...
:12:47
that our Cellini Venus is a forgery.
lf it were genuine, what would it be?
:12:51
A piece of sculpture made
centuries ago by some over-sexed ltalian.
:12:56
But our Cellini Venus is really our own.
So, be proud of it.
:12:59
Your own grandfather made it,
and your own grandmother posed for it.
