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.

:36:03
Come in.
:36:07
-Hello, Papa.
-Good evening, my dear.

:36:09
Marcel tells me you're dining out.
:36:11
With an American tycoon l met today.
:36:14
-He makes computers.
-What?

:36:17
Well, that might be the basis
of an enduring friendship.

:36:23
And there he is.
Right on the executive button.

:36:26
An enormous Cadillac.
Does that sound right?

:36:29
-What's his name?
-Davis Leland.

:36:34
-Are you sure?
-Do you know him?

:36:36
No, but l'd very much like to meet him.
:36:38
Yes, he is one of the most open-handed
art collectors in the whole of America.

:36:42
l'll go and keep him company.
:36:44
He didn't say a word about a collection.
:36:46
Didn't he tell you that
he's got the great Toulouse-Lautrec...

:36:49
from the Bonnet collection?
:36:52
Your Lautrec or Lautrec's Lautrec?
:36:55
Mine, naturally.
:36:57
Oh, no.
