1:19:01
- Ah.
- That did it.
1:19:03
I've gotta go home pretty soon.
1:19:11
- Hello, Erica.
- Hi, Edward.
1:19:14
Nice to see you.
1:19:16
- These are my friends.
This is Elaine Liebowitz.
- How do you do?
1:19:19
- Edward Thoreaux. And Sue Miller.
- How do you do?
1:19:23
- And Jeannette Lewin.
- Nice to meet you.
1:19:25
- Hi, Erica.
- Can I take your coats?
1:19:27
- You look wonderful!
- Thanks.
1:19:29
I'm Jean Starret.
Erica has told me about your, uh, club.
1:19:32
This is Jeannette and Elaine and Sue.
1:19:36
- What club?
- Do you know anything
about consciousness raising?
1:19:40
- Not really.
- Neither do we.
1:19:42
Wejust kind of get together
once a week and complain a lot.
1:19:44
- That's very American.
- Aren't you an American?
1:19:47
I'm from Cleveland,
but I try to forget it.
1:19:49
- I was hoping you'd show up.
- How's your headache?
1:19:53
I had it ever since you left.
1:19:58
How's the party?
1:20:00
Usual.
1:20:04
Well, whenever you put
about 50 artists together in one room...
1:20:07
you get a really
pleasant combination...
1:20:11
of gossip, paranoia,
envy, fear, trembling...
1:20:15
hatred, lust and pretense.
1:20:19
It's, uh, wonderful.
1:20:22
Tell me some good gossip.
1:20:25
Good gossip, eh? Hmm.
1:20:30
Oh. You see the short,
wiry fellow in the corner?
1:20:34
The one with his arm
around Lady MacBeth?
1:20:37
Well, his name is Conrad Zweiback.
He's Hungarian. Very intense. Very ambitious.
1:20:40
- Can't paint for shit.
- Who's the woman?
1:20:44
She's the wife
of Henry Gebhart, the critic.
1:20:49
- Oh, I've never met him.
- Oh, he's a spider.
1:20:51
Sets traps for young artists,
using his wife as bait.
1:20:54
- Is he gay?
- Oh, no. No, not at all.
That would make sense.
1:20:58
No, it appears he likes to watch
his wife make love to other men.
