Pass.
1:06:10
A nickel.
1:06:14
I'll see your nickel...
1:06:16
...and I'll raise you a quarter.
1:06:22
I don't like the look of that smile.
1:06:24
There is a smile of love and
there is a smile of deceit. I'm out.
1:06:28
I'm out.
1:06:30
- Too rich for my blood.
- Two twos.
1:06:34
There is a smile of smiles
in which these two smiles meet.
1:06:38
- William Blake.
- Such a bluffer.
1:06:41
Jackson, did you hear
de Kooning sold to the Modern?
1:06:46
Want me to deal?
1:06:48
"A singular concentration
of passion and technique...
1:06:51
...fierce energy, virtuosity."
1:06:54
It doesn't hurt that his wife
is fucking the critic.
1:06:56
- Who?
- De Kooning.
1:06:58
I don't know if I'd agree with
"virtuosity," but it was a hell of a show.
1:07:03
- Did you see the show?
- We're not in Siberia, Clem.
1:07:07
So you're the critic now.
1:07:09
No one knows I exist.
Who the hell's talking about me?
1:07:12
- I write about every show you have.
- You're the only one.
1:07:15
- What good does your praise do me?
- It's new stuff. Give it time.
1:07:20
We're broke!
1:07:22
I'm digging clams out of the bay.
I don't see de Kooning digging.
1:07:25
Everyone is struggling.
It'll break for you soon.
1:07:28
When?
1:07:29
I just took part in a roundtable
on modern art...
1:07:33
...held by LIFE magazine,
for God's sakes.
1:07:37
America has become the centre
of Western civilization.
1:07:40
You're doing the most original
and vigorous art in the country.
1:07:44
- Other critics will catch on. Keep at it.
- Don't tell me to keep at it.
1:07:50
I'm keeping at it!
1:07:52
- Ante up.
- All right, I'm in.
1:07:57
Did old Clem ruffle your feathers?
