: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

: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.

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.
:13:03
For months she stood
without moving a muscle...
:13:05
while your grandfather
perpetuated her in marble.
:13:08
That was, naturally, before she
started eating those enormous lunches.
