[Sighs]
What are you gonna do
with an art history degree?
With an engineering degree,
your dad could get you a job
right after college.
I mean, you wanted that, right?
I don't know.
You sound stupid.
Like already in college,
just decide.
You've changed.
Well, it's been five months.
So, yeah...
But it's still me.
Five months ago,
you wouldn't have
wanted anything to do
with somebody like Gerald,
or Miranda...
Come on. He's just trying to
get a reaction out of us.
And if we run away, he wins.
We can't let that a**hole win.
Right?
I don't care.
I don't know him. I don't even
know what we're doing here.
Come on...
We could still
go get dinner in town.
Maine clams, lobster...
Let's get out of here
for a while.
No. No. No.
I'm not hungry, I'm exhausted.
[Miranda]
How ls Elizabeth?
Oh, she's all right.
We were just...
Wondering what to do
about dinner tonight.
[Gerald]
Well!
we planned for this evening?
It's lovely to see that you
haven't gone to bed yet.
- [Laughs]
- I was about to...
Not before we've consumed vast
quantities of alcohol, right?
We've been drinking
all day, and yesterday.
Oh...
We've hardly
even started, Lucian.
Oh, some for me.
Here we go.
Here you go.
That right.
There you go, my dear.
Who... well...
I propose a game of cards.
Oh, I don't know, I...
Huh?
What?
I guess I can play
for a few minutes, yeah.
That's right.
That's good.
So...
What should we play for?
Hmm?
I didn't realize
we were playing for anything.
[Miranda]
Of course you are.
But I warn you,
all Gerald will play is poker.
He doesn't do anything
unless he can make money at it.
What about his art'?
Well, his reason for painting me
is that it turns him on.
You see, it also turns
other people on
and they pay him
large amounts of money
for the erotica that I pose for.
Look at her.
She's posing now.
[Miranda laughs]
- [Laughs]
- It's quite
a convenient arrangement,
really.
Well, I am the only inspiration
for his art.
It annoys him, though,
because he hates not being given
complete credit for his work.
- That's not true.
- Of course it is!
- No, it's not...
- You're wandering around
with your head
in self-generated clouds
of hot air,
until someone says to you,
"well, if it wasn't for Miranda,
would you be
as good a painter?"
Whatever makes you happy,
my dear.
Why don't you just try
painting someone else?
Or something other than nudes?
Well, he has.
But as I said...
I'm the only inspiration
for his art.
