:34:02
Do you always blow hot
and cold like this? Say!
:34:06
Listen. l have something
very important to say to you.
:34:09
Now don't go away.
:34:23
Well, finally!
:34:25
l waited at the Ritz for you last night.
l thought you'd been caught.
:34:28
-No.
-What happened?
:34:30
l'm only a part-time burglar,
and it's hard work.
:34:32
Did you find the van Gogh?
:34:34
-Easily.
-And?
:34:40
lt disturbs you, doesn't it?
:34:43
Not a bit.
:34:45
lt's a great van Gogh.
:34:47
Of course it is, but who painted it?
:34:50
My dear Bernard, Bonnet has
a Cellini sculpture on exhibition...
:34:54
right now which is worth $1,000,000.
He doesn't need to forge paintings.
:34:59
-Unless you think that's a forgery too.
-No, not that!
:35:02
For one thing, it was first exhibited in 1910
when Bonnet was eight years old.
:35:06
Besides, Bonnet never studied sculpture.
But he did study painting.
:35:12
lf he has $1,000,000 lying around loose...
:35:14
why does he forge paintings?
What's his motive?
:35:17
Ego, vanity,
hoodwinking the whole world...
:35:20
and having a wonderful time doing it.
:35:22
Simon, imagine Bonnet
as a young painter.
:35:25
Like many others he copies
the masters to learn their secrets.
:35:29
lt is his hobby.
:35:30
But over the years,
it becomes an obsession.
:35:32
He learned every nuance of light,
of color, of shade, of form.
:35:37
He identifies with them completely.
:35:39
When he paints a van Gogh,
he is van Gogh.
:35:42
He's Lautrec, Cézanne, he's any painter
he chooses to be, and that is his motive...
:35:47
and also his profit.
:35:50
-What about Bonnet's daughter?
-Nicole? What about her?
:35:54
-Do you think she's in it with him?
-ln what?
:35:57
According to you, there is nothing.
:35:59
-That's right.
-You're wrong. And you'll see.
