:07:00
Only small, murky cafés
for Pépé le Moko here.

:07:03
No. No. La Pasionaria. We'll build
barricades and lean against them, singing.

:07:09
- And the people will follow.
- Follow, follow, follow. What is that song?

:07:13
It's our role in history,
and we offer ourselves up to it.

:07:17
It's your role in history, it's not our role.
The Fantasticks.

:07:21
Follow, follow, follow, follow
:07:23
A role in history - to say that so easily.
:07:26
To lead the people. Like Lech Walesa
and the striking shipyard workers.

:07:32
Gorbachev urging on
the striking coal miners.

:07:35
The phrase "striking coal miners" -
:07:37
I always picture these very striking
coal miners modelling the fall fashion.

:07:50
- Why is there a statue of a husky?
- Another drink before we...?

:07:54
Where shall we?
God, the restaurants in New York.

:07:57
It's like Florence in the 16th century -
genius on every corner.

:08:01
- There's good Szechwan. Hunan.

:08:05
The sign painter screwed up the sign.
:08:07
Instead of painting "The Hunan Wok",

:08:13
- We sent it to The Times.
- They have a joke page, and...

:08:17
They send you champagne.
:08:19
We weren't auditioning, but all I could
think was "$2,000,000. $2,000,000".

:08:23
Like when people say "Don't think
about elephants", it's all you think.

:08:27
$2,000,000. $2,000,000.
:08:30
(buzzer)
:08:31
Whatever you do,
don't think about elephants.

:08:34
- Elephants?
- Ouisa is a Dada manifesto.

:08:39
About the Cézanne.
:08:41
Unless we're careful,
it'll be sold and never seen again.

:08:50
Mid period. Landscape
of a dark green forest.

:08:55
In the far distance you see the sunlight.
:08:59
One of his first uses of a pale colour being
forced to carry the weight of the picture.
