:39:02
praying away to some painting
of a murderer or something.
:39:06
What are you laughing at?
:39:08
Oh, nothing.
:39:11
I was just thinking about
what lasts, you know,
:39:13
and who gets the benefit.
:39:15
I mean, your man who painted this
:39:16
he never saw any of the money
it's supposed to be worth, right?
:39:19
But he gets the reputation though
:39:21
I mean, people remember who he is.
:39:23
And that's the thing, isn't it?
:39:26
You're afraid no-one'll
remember you after you're dead?
:39:29
I think
you should take up painting.
:39:31
Why? So I'll be remembered?
:39:33
Nah. So you could do the kitchen.
:39:53
Hello, yeah?
:39:54
Father Grogan?
:39:55
Paul Grogan, yes, that's me.
:39:57
My name's Christine.
:39:59
I phoned you about the Caravaggio.
:40:00
Oh, yes, of course.
:40:02
Come in, you're welcome.
:40:04
Oh, the painting was hanging
right down here for years
:40:08
looking down at everyone
having their supper
:40:11
and no-one took any notice of it.
:40:14
Getting dirtier and dirtier.
:40:17
Then one day I was celebrating Mass
in our little chapel upstairs
:40:23
remind me to show it to you
before you go.
:40:25
Anyway, this morning
it was Luke's wonderfully moving
:40:30
account of Veronica
washing the face of Jesus.
:40:33
And I thought, we must have
that beautiful painting cleaned.
:40:37
No idea
what was about to be uncovered
:40:40
a Caravaggio...
:40:42
I mean, a priceless original.
:40:43
It was a pity for us in a way,
of course,
:40:45
because it was lovely to
have it there.
:40:48
But, well...
as soon as we knew its value
:40:51
we knew it couldn't stay here.
:40:53
I mean any half decent thief
could just walk in.
:40:57
The gallery made us
that very fine copy though.
:40:59
Same size and all?
