:46:01
l'm just keeping
my hand in it.
:46:03
- Keeping your hand in what?
- The army is paying my expenses.
:46:08
So you don't actually
believe that rubbish.
:46:11
Don't tell me you're happy
with the "peace."
:46:14
- Hello, Max.
- Hello, Esther.
:46:16
How are you, sweetheart?
:46:20
l think the "peace"
is a travesty.
:46:22
But I don't think I can be
bothered to pick up
:46:24
the German banner from the mud
with my left arm.
:46:27
l gave at the office,
you know.
:46:30
Yes...
:46:31
yes, yes, you did.
:46:34
l'm thinking about writing
a book on politics, you know?.
:46:38
You're a man
of many talents.
:46:40
Where do you find
time to paint?
:46:43
Mensch, use your head.
l'm still in the army.
:46:46
l'm folding laundry.
l'm cleaning out the shithouses.
:46:49
Painting costs money.
l don't have a pot to piss in.
:46:53
Here's what
l'd like to do.
:46:58
l'd like to take some
of your work off consignment.
:47:01
Here's an advance against
your future sales.
:47:03
Spend it any way you like.
:47:05
Find yourself a nice girl.
Get drunk.
:47:11
Get out of politics.
:47:17
Rothman, you--
:47:19
you've saved my life.
:47:22
Maybe you're right.
:47:25
Maybe l've yet to find
my authentic voice.
:47:29
Maybe I should
get more modern.
:47:31
lf l'm to be completely
honest with myself,
:47:35
l've always admired some
of the ideas behind Cubism.
:47:39
Seems to me you have a great
affinity for ideas.
:47:41
ls that some clever way of
saying I have poor technique?
:47:44
Try not to be one of those
people who finds a slight
:47:46
in any compliment.
