:20:01
And the tie--
:20:04
we'll call it an even 10.
:20:26
- Why put a gallery in an ironworks?
- You know what they used to make here?
:20:30
Locomotives.
:20:31
And now they're recovering the iron and steel
and selling it as scrap.
:20:34
Beating swords
into ploughshares?
:20:36
That wouldn't be
a bad lead.
:20:37
No, no, that's too soft,
that's too pacifistic.
:20:39
- Not subversive enough.
- Subversive?
:20:41
Yes, subversive.
l mean, Jesus God,
:20:44
what a giant piece of kitsch
theater this last war was.
:20:48
lt was all fought on rail
and yet the Kaiser went on horse
:20:52
surrounded by the princes with
the regiments and the banners
:20:55
snapping in the breeze
like it was Agincourt.
:20:57
But it wasn't Agincourt,
was it?
:20:59
But you're
an ex-cavalry man.
:21:01
So I know exactly
of which I speak.
:21:03
And from now on we must make art
with the same unsentimentality,
:21:06
the same principles that we would
the manufacture of bayonets.
:21:08
Bayonets?
:21:09
Yes, or maybe wash bins would work.
- No, we'll stick with bayonets.
:21:13
- Bayonets is a lot sharper.
- Yes it is. Yes.
:21:16
Mind if we take
a look around?
:21:20
Be my guest.
:21:23
Ah, Corporal Hitler.
:21:24
"Hit-ler."
:21:27
Not living in
the barracks anymore?
:21:29
lt's not like there's a lot
of cheap housing
:21:31
around for vets, is there?
:21:33
No, I suppose there isn't.
:21:36
- Can I offer you some coffee?
- No, I never touch it.
:21:39
No caffeine, no alcohol,
no nicotine, no meat.
:21:42
- You're an ascetic.
- Not at all, l'm a man of the people.
:21:46
l see you brought
your goods.
:21:49
Don't expect
anything abstract.
:21:53
l'm a great believer
in Schopenhauer's dictum
:21:55
that art should proclaim,
:21:57
"Yes by God,
this is how it really is."
