527
00:22:38,879 --> 00:22:40,837
I am?

528
00:22:40,924 --> 00:22:42,796
Yes, you are, okay?

529
00:22:44,406 --> 00:22:46,756
Mr. Corbett, I have dealt with

530
00:22:46,843 --> 00:22:48,671
many people in my career

531
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:50,978
including belligerent artists

532
00:22:51,065 --> 00:22:52,632
avaricious merchants

533
00:22:52,719 --> 00:22:55,199
and TV stars.

534
00:22:55,286 --> 00:22:56,679
But I have never--

535
00:22:56,766 --> 00:22:59,247
Now you have.

536
00:22:59,334 --> 00:23:02,337
You can't bring me all the way
up here and then send me away.

[Tom] <i>Well, uh, actually, he didn't.</i>

538
00:23:04,078 --> 00:23:06,297
I did, and, I'm-I'm very sorry

539
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,169
for having inconvenienced you

540
00:23:08,256 --> 00:23:09,648
but...

541
00:23:09,736 --> 00:23:11,607
I'm-I'm afraid I can send you away.

542
00:23:11,694 --> 00:23:13,522
But you'll never know the
value of your painting.

543
00:23:13,609 --> 00:23:16,220
I do know the value of the painting.

544
00:23:16,307 --> 00:23:18,179
- You do?
- Mm-hmm.

545
00:23:19,484 --> 00:23:21,095
It's priceless.

546
00:23:27,797 --> 00:23:29,146

00:23:34,761 --> 00:23:36,632
Gee, thanks... for everything.

00:23:42,116 --> 00:23:44,465
Do you really like it, Mr. Corbett?

550
00:23:44,553 --> 00:23:46,119
Yes, I really do.

551
00:23:46,207 --> 00:23:47,513
So do I.

552
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,992
You know, every time I look at it

553
