hall ever since I was that high

experience

I think I'm crazy is that it ladies and

thank you

I thought I didn't do too much good did

it

if you want to wash your hands at the

whole thing no I didn't say that but

none of those guys in there thought that

painting was a funny or hot and most of

them are experts and they're pedigrees

you mean the provenance

yeah it's all in the catalog oh except

the name of the cellar

well I guess I could ask

why don't you wait for me outside and

I'll ask and see if it is

foreign

English way he said that he wasn't at

Liberty to reveal the identity of the

vendor

but that pedigree provenance provenance

that's straight

so you don't believe me

father would never sell that painting

never

but there's no need for money

would he turn against me

after all these years without any

explanation

I think you better see for yourself

blame me father gives the orders but why

me I know it doesn't make sense but he

won't have you near him and once he's

made up his mind but why

I have a right to know Jane you don't

help yourself or anyone else by making

scenes either here or yes

but you may as well face afterwards he's

sick he's old and he's not himself

surely you can indulge him a little you

indulge him

he refuses to see his own daughter I

don't want to upset you

or anyone else but at his age

I'm sorry Jane there isn't any more to

say

foreign

scene was Jane she's making things very

difficult now look here father

crown jewels

one of the first times I've ever seen a

Rolls Royce turned away from any place

near to my father's heart

my brother and I will convey your

feelings to him

Mr Gray

Mr Gray oh

oh

time passes so slowly yeah Mr Gray you

are on

you don't mean yes this afternoon he

passed away in his sleep

hello I'm not ready

I'm not really my mustache I don't need

at this moment Mr Gray I mustn't

disappoint audience and a long full life

and devoted to the boards I have never

yet Mr Q I'm fully aware of your

distinguished theatrical career Mr Gray

what worries me is whether you're

prepared for this particular role

every actor worth his salt Mr father

needs time times are time to perfect a

gesture here trying to perfect an

intonation there you're too damn lazy

everyone's so born idle these days not

now Mr Craig please

yeah lucky right

all the world's a stage

and all the men and women merely players

they have their exits and their

entrances and one man in his time plays

many parts Mr Gray

the last

scene of all that ends this train

eventful history is second childishness

and mere Oblivion

science teeth Sans eyes

Sans taste

Sands everything

oh thank you please use this one

so you are McGill that's me I didn't

know we were having company makes a nice

surprise for you then Gerald fasten

Jane's brother I thought you saw me when

your car broke down oh yeah it's all

coming back now uh what can we do to

help you Scott's on the Rocks please

don't make the large I'm with you

ever since she was at rhodine my

sister's been prone to exaggerate so are

you paying him to keep her out

have you known any old men Mr McGill

really old they're changeable

unpredictable

well I don't know that depends anyway

Jane believes that you and your brother

are trying to keep her out

should we want to do a thing like that

or whatever he leaves who too how much

no Mr McGill

we've all had our shares all three of us

years ago father gave us six million

between us in equal shares Jane's a

millionaires

yeah she mentioned the fact that she had

a little piece of this date so where is

the Deep laid plot has to do with that

painting she believes it's

her father's she believes it came from

the house and since when did Jane

blossom into an art expert

or are you one bad no oh once the sound

looks very like another Mr McGill

perhaps not to words he painted several

similar studies

I actually have been properly

brainwashed

well even if he won't see her he might

at least see you or you him

well what are we waiting for

foreign

of course

there are certainly not more than three

probably not more than two Better

Private collections in Europe really

uh can you put some light on that

scissors

foreign

take an expert to tell the difference

wouldn't it which obviously you are not

otherwise you would have noticed the

brush work you saw the question of being

passed out

now if you want me by father I think we

better hurry

he regards people are keeping waiting

not only as fools but enemies

okay

foreign

if he's rude

father

huh

I brought Mr McGill to see you a girl

yes he's a close friend of James

well why did you bring him

he's a guest father

I don't seem to be making myself clear

since when have you been the Arbiter of

whom I should see huh you look here I'm

a gill if you come here as a plead for

my daughter they're wasting your time to

be much more profitably employed playing

snooker or something or looking at my

collections since you are here yeah your

son said you had one of the best

collections in Europe oh oh did he says

when have you set yourself up as a

connoisseur are you listen to me Gerald

and the time comes to realize this

collection I don't want you relying on

your own full judgment you'll leave it

in the hands of someone who knows what

he's doing we are not thinking of

selling father it has a sentimental

value sentimental fiddlestick only one

reason to buy a painting that's an

investment the best investment there is

there's proof against takeovers and

devaluation

Revolution all I'm saying is I don't

want you to be tempted into trying your

own arm you wouldn't know a Suzanne from

a handsaw

you're not as interested in the Suzanne

like the one you have in the hall

brought about a hundred and ten thousand

pounds at an auction did she buy it no

she was uh I'm more full huh 110 000

pounds

since you know mine will be worth twice

as much as that's in five years well

that's why she was so upset she thought

that was yours

typical dead Petra slapped that oil

making unnecessary scenes she got that

from her mother father please

is that you're a close friend of Jason

my own friend I'm not a close friend

Fred

lovers

hospitals flower people it's all the

same these days

are you looking at young man tell my

daughter I don't want to see her

precious little sympathy I've ever had

from her or from her mother

I don't think Mr McGill's interested in

our family Affairs father

if you don't mind Mr McGill

I'll see you later Mr Parsons glad to

met you huh ah give my daughter my

message Miguel and you give it to her

straight

where's McGill

I'm sorry about that it was unpleasant

washing ones family living in public at

least you've seen the situation for

yourself

yeah I think I have something to tell

Jane now look lesser down as likely as

you can honey it's all in his mind his

age you know

you do understand that don't you

well you uh you know your way out Logan

will see you to your car if you don't

mind I better get back he's a trifle

over excited thank you very much

oh Mr Parson well uh how was I superb oh

too kind and you went a bit over the top

about Suzanne though I do know something

about archana

well uh nothing personal at all Mr

Parson uh it's all part of the

characterization you see I I believe

that conflict is the essence of all true

drama

but if there should be a Repeat

Performance and I sincerely hope it

won't be necessary just to bring it down

a bit hey suddenly

uh uh Mr Parson yeah uh after the uh the

first night as it were uh I wonder if we

could indulge in a little uh a

celebration the key to that drinks

cabinet appears to be missing I will

celebrate Mr Gray

once the performance is over

I don't know

well

listen I saw that painting is still in

your father's house that Suzanne at the

auction was my father's your brother

told me that that painting was very much

like it but they weren't the same

how much do you know about painting Jane

don't look at me like some rotten

psychiatrist

it's not me that's mixed up

well that's your son is still hanging in

your father's house and he thinks the

value is going to double in about five

years so he's not interested in getting

rid of it

you've seen them both well is there any

difference

well I'm no expert and I don't have your

photographic memory

I think you're just wasting your money

seems to me he just has some sort of

block against you nothing I can do about

that why me why not Gerald and Charles I

don't think he cares about any of you

too much

that's just his manner

if he was so much against me why leave

me a fortune that's a good question

McGill all I'm asking

if he's as ill as he seems I ought to be

there

offered you more money I appreciate it

but there's no more job there's nothing

left for me to do yes there is

what there are two things you can take

my father a letter and you can get me a

color photo that's his own in the hall

oh he really loves her on you anyway

don't you might as well throw a little

to me

mind if I use your phone

Logan loves playing the horses I think I

can catch up with him

Miguel

today the book is of doped all my horses

hard cheese

uh boss man's not an earned today I

really wouldn't be founded in a dump

like this he's anti-gambling anyway

now uh I make no challenge for last time

my contacts introduction oh wow thank

you very much so uh

what do you want me to do for you now

well I'd like to take another look at

those pictures

you never get in McGill the burger alarm

system is foolproof I've checked it

myself

that is valuable information that's

valuable paper yeah

that's all that information's worth

listening

I'm not trying to hijack the place I

just want to get in there and take

another look at those pictures which

you've already seen them I want to see

them again and I'd like to see them

tonight uh nine o'clock

nine o'clock you said

hey we should be having some grilled

salmon ripe Camembert a bottle of all

burgundy that's what they should be

giving me

ah child my dear boy what what oh no

Gerald isn't it yeah not Gerald look you

take all that stuff away you tell cook

I'm not interested in slops you've been

drinking before where'd you get that I

will not be dictated to by my own son oh

you're gonna have to sip yourself it

might make you a little more human now

look here Mr Gray now you'll look how

gelled one more thing Gerald another man

who changes my own mind but uh well I

have been thinking this evening about

things I said to Mcgill and after all

Gerald the quality of Mercy is not

strained I said some pretty hard things

about my daughter

but a man does yawn after his own flesh

and blood devil

I want to see my daughter Gerald

I want to see her

foreign

foreign

once you're inside or on your own come

on

now close it put the cans back on

Joe

you know something

I think we've got an intruder

bonuses all around in the morning

how you got in

you're obviously a man who who gets what

he wants

I think you're probably as much in need

of a brandy as I have it's over there I

hid it in that cabinet

oh God

whiffer Snappers they treat me as if I'm

in my second childhood

yeah that's it

yeah

um

I brought a letter for you from Jane

well I uh I I can't promise to read it

she's still upset

she's pretty hurt you know

she just doesn't understand why you

won't see her

well she will in time it's just

something that's not open to discussion

you're from America there Mr Miguel have

you ever been to Los Angeles

oh that's some of my happiest months in

Los Angeles and my most lucrative really

well everybody makes it to La sometime

another

where are you from then Texas Texas

brings back happy memories

hit one of my greatest successes in

Texas and big springs dick spring

oh what kind of success is a business

deal business success I think you're the

most successes ah well Jane didn't

mention the fact he'd been to the states

well my daughter Mr Miguel knows even

less about me than my sons and they know

little enough you married again

no I don't know you'll learn some

marriages just don't work out that's not

something you raised before the children

but we went through a bad patch

ER hello put the lighthouse map you can

get out through the window

is it okay if I bring Jane to see you

tomorrow no uh

but tell her

her father never lost his love for her

foreign

thank you

that's what you get for playing the

field

Logan

foreign

it's identical I'm sure it is you don't

sound so sure about it to me

where's the thing

well it's been a long time since I've

been to paint

don't be so Superior Mr McGill

yourself it was a strange setup well it

is it's sort of like a museum around

there with its own police force within

that collection of your father's is

worth a farting that has been collecting

for 30 years

never hired protection yet

it's not that

there's only one reason for those guards

keep me out

I wouldn't take that in any way

listen he didn't read your letter while

I was there but he told me to tell you

you never lost his love for you

love

I'll tell you something McGill that's a

word he never used in his life well he

used it last night in fact he seemed

quite a bit changed he was more mellow

unless it was just the Brandy

Brandy

he never touches the stuff

listen he keeps his own private Supply

hidden away in that cabinet

must be losing his mind no he isn't but

I can't speak for anyone else around

here he was very friendly he was

sociable he seemed interested in

everything mercenary self-centered

generous at times

sociable never he would have talked all

night long about his visit to the states

if we hadn't been interrupted never been

to the states he talked about Big

Springs Texas honey and L.A please

Miguel allow me to know my own father

right before he had me out he told me

that uh

you knew him less than his sons Miguel I

have got to see my father

he's living very strangely

I don't know what Gerald and Charles are

up to but this whole thing stinks can

you fix it you must look I couldn't very

well just get my own private police

force and bust in there and do battle

with him could I you just have to

improvise won't you

that money just burns a hole in your

pocket didn't it

do you have any friends that do any

visiting up there you're joking it's

easy to get in there as broad more one

more that's an asylum isn't it oh wait a

minute there is someone a doctor Dr

Vance Dr Vance well where's he uh hang

out

he's done the evening actually think

he's at his Club

so James is in my dining room but he'll

come down ladies Annex Miss Fasteners

along the passage on the right will it

be better if we waited out on the

sidewalk I'm sorry sir outstanding

orders ladies not admitted except to the

annex and that's what's wrong with this

place oh think about

Jane my dear

I just had a phone from Gerald father's

had a relapse a relapse yes you must

come right away

I'm in the middle of my Grouse come on

Doctor we need your help

who is this individual I'm a girl's my

name

oh look if we are going up on what we'll

probably end up as a wild goose chase I

insist upon himself

thank you

well let's finish Logan opens those

Gates you just drive straight to the

house this is outrageous

it's touch and going Mr Boston in his

present condition I gave strict

instructions he was not to be disturbed

by anyone okay don't mess around now

just do what I said let's keep going

Logan I need your help

there's a couple of patients for you doc

foreign

foreign

get me something to stand on

yes sir

how's this

lock brain and take the key right

I knew it it's a copy

as Jane very clever of you

now and you better come down

Mr gravy

if that's a copy then the painting at

the auction was the original there's a

very good explanation Jane what is it

you've no right to sell I didn't sell it

my father wouldn't

you knew it had gone you've just

admitted that

where is father he's in no condition to

see you now but I will write to him

Gerald Gerald I must speak to you

can't be Father's paralyzed

you're not my father well whoever he is

he needs help

you have forgotten my child

what age can do to a man performances

ever Mr Gray nobody wants an encore

I could have done it could have brought

that off

and daughter

well you fool me oh yeah but you'd never

met Mr Farson that's true but you never

should have been asked to play this part

it's a fast time McGill first time I've

ever let our audience

I think I need a brandy

no no no I'm quite all right

hello unless perhaps you'd care to join

me in a class

okay but let's make it later

where's father what have you done to him

hey well

come with me

no Gerald no don't be ridiculous Charles

that would use violent against my own

brother

McGill you're used to this sort of thing

uh oh you left the safety armor no

and there we go

foreign

perhaps you'd like to open a chart

I'm sorry I don't think I can

oh he died naturally

and we're not murderers it was all his

own idea

you know what father thought about this

government all governments and all taxes

especially death duties and so he

decided to give us our legacies in

advance but he meant he had to stay

alive for five years otherwise he'd have

clobbered us for death duties a cool 2

million you as well as us well I'll be

we did all we could of course to keep

him going but why didn't you tell me

could have saved us all a lot of trouble

what'd you mean

actually we did consider letting you in

on it personally I was in favor but

father thought you'd be too squeamish

squeamish

like father to let us down

didn't die on schedule

it's all taken care of the death

certificate will be post-dated in the

circumstances I may have to record the

actual date of decease

I run more risks than the rest of you

put together and you've been more than

handsomely rewarded for your pains but

you have broken the agreement

no one else has to know

this is uh exactly

you're a fool to get rid of it so

quickly James I was free to do with it

what I wanted

your father's parting gift to me for

post-mortem services

you're certainly not going to Welsh on

this now James

I don't think we need to worry about

McGill

well take your pick McGill

ah no thanks I've already been paid it's

easy money Miguel

easier than yours

well I'll tell you what fella since

you're being so generous

I can take my pick any one they're all

valuable

how they get it wrong Miguel there isn't

a painting in the Hall worth less than

in your terms fifty thousand dollars

foreign

my favorite modaliani should fetch at

least a hundred thousand dollars

we're going take it down a joke

okay

uh if you don't mind leaving as we go we

have some dirty family business to

discuss with our sister

how about that Brandy

about your painting

uh just leave this here

foreign

I mean what sort of security is that so

what do you propose I've met a funeral

service for two there's another body in

there now another not gray I think it

was a natural death doctor but you

better check

Miguel you must help us

please

honey I don't have an ice box big enough

to help you

foreign
