:15:00
- That's very American.
- Aren't you an American?
:15:03
I'm from Cleveland,
but I try to forget it.
:15:05
- I was hoping you'd show up.
- How's your headache?
:15:09
I had it ever since you left.
:15:14
How's the party?
:15:16
Usual.
:15:20
Well, whenever you put
about 50 artists together in one room...
:15:24
you get a really
pleasant combination...
:15:27
of gossip, paranoia,
envy, fear, trembling...
:15:31
hatred, lust and pretense.
:15:36
It's, uh, wonderful.
:15:38
Tell me some good gossip.
:15:41
Good gossip, eh? Hmm.
:15:46
Oh. You see the short,
wiry fellow in the corner?
:15:50
The one with his arm
around Lady MacBeth?
:15:53
Well, his name is Conrad Zweiback.
He's Hungarian. Very intense. Very ambitious.
:15:56
- Can't paint for shit.
- Who's the woman?
:16:00
She's the wife
of Henry Gebhart, the critic.
:16:05
- Oh, I've never met him.
- Oh, he's a spider.
:16:07
Sets traps for young artists,
using his wife as bait.
:16:11
- Is he gay?
- Oh, no. No, not at all.
That would make sense.
:16:15
No, it appears he likes to watch
his wife make love to other men.
:16:19
Now, if the other man
is pleasing to Lady MacBeth...
:16:22
he becomes the new
discovery of Gebhart.
:16:25
- How do you know all this?
- I was discovered by Henry Gebhart.
:16:28
I'm kidding.
:16:31
No, but it's true.
The story's true.
:16:34
- You're very beautiful tonight.
- You look very good yourself.
:16:39
Shall we dance?
:16:41
You're full of surprises.
:16:43
Remember, we don't
really know each other.
:16:46
- Tanya!
- Erica!
:16:48
- How great to see you here.
- What are you doing here?
:16:50
- I'm an old friend ofJean Starret's.
- Ohh.
:16:53
And I'd like to have you meet
my friend, Sophie Windham.
:16:56
- Hello.
- Erica Benton.
:16:58
Uh, this is Saul Kaplan.
Tanya Berkel.
