moisture seeped into a portion
of the altarpiece...

:39:04
and it began to peel...
:39:06
revealing an older painting
underneath.

:39:10
Then the art scholars
had to decide what to do.

:39:13
Should they remove and destroy
a great painting by Daddi...

:39:18
to uncover what appears to be
a crude first draft underneath it?

:39:22
Or should they restore
the original...

:39:26
but never know for sure
what lies beneath it?

:39:30
What would you do?
:39:32
Hold on to it.
:39:37
Beauty should be protected.
:39:39
Good. That is what
the scholars decided to do.

:39:43
Now you have a free lecture,
and you don't have to read the brochure.

:40:09
I wondered if I might...
:40:13
repay you for your lecture...
:40:15
and ask you to dinner somewhere.
:40:20
You don't understand.
:40:24
Dinner can be
a pretty serious affair here.

:40:26
Lunch. I know a place nearby.
:40:32
Signor, I thought it was the Italian men
who picked up the American women.

:40:43
All right. Lunch.
:40:46
But I have to work another
hour and a half before I go.

:40:49
I'll wait.
