:01:10
We could just fire him.
:01:51
He'll need
three months' notice.
:01:53
Stuff and nonsense.
Leave it to me.
:01:56
I'll talk to the chairman and
insist on Mr Bean's dismissal.
:02:01
Back to the agenda.
:02:03
The Grierson Gallery of
California has recently received
:02:06
a private donation
of fifty million dollars
:02:09
to buy Whistler's
portrait of his mother
:02:12
from the Musée D'Orsay in Paris.
:02:14
It is simply the most
historic purchase
:02:18
made by an American gallery
this century.
:02:26
The greatest painting ever
by an American artist
:02:29
is returning at last to America.
:02:31
From now on Whistler's Mother
lives here in Los Angeles
:02:35
where she belongs!
:02:37
When will we actually see her?
:02:39
The unveiling will be in about
two weeks - you're all invited!
:02:44
They've asked us
to send a scholar
:02:46
of great weight and substance
to preside over the ceremony
:02:50
and stay on for two months
for lectures and seminars.
:02:53
Dr Rosenblum...
:02:55
Dr Cutler...
:02:57
You both hold high claim
on this great honour.
