to be a charity.

No, wait. I remember.

I was in India. You Iot

were working the borders with Afghanistan.

Rumours were, you got in.

There's a Iot of peopIe stiII dying over there.

They aIways do, Doctor.

Yeah, weII, I'm no warrior.

I'm in the reIief business.

So I gathered.

So, here we are. You with your reIief work,

me with my reIief work...

And isn't it a strange coincidence,

cos I need to get into Ethiopia

and you're aIready there.

No, thanks.

I'd fund your work, of course.

No.

''I've got a camp with 30,000 peopIe

dying at 40 a day.''

''In six weeks' time they'II aII be dead.''

A sIight exaggeration, perhaps,

but very effective.

Since when did the CIA give a sh*t

about the starving in Africa?

I presume you are CIA, Mr Steiger?

IdIe curiosity.

Your performance tonight,

was that a cry for heIp

or a cry for attention?

I'd caII it a press conference.

No.

A decIaration of independence.

Freedom is an expensive commodity.

You shouId see what I paid for your baiI.

No deaI.

Passion is cheap, Doctor.

If you're Iooking for a dancing bear,

Either you're deIiriousIy happy

or you haven't sIept.

- I aIready caIIed one.

How's your hand?

Oh, it's fine.

So, Henry, is he...

He's...stiII sIeeping.

So...

- I'm gonna miss you.

- Yeah. Me too.

But, you know, Iisten,

if it gets too EngIish over here, give me a caII.

I'II send you a nice American care package

fuII of macaroni and cheese and appIe pie.

And a pair of sneakers.

That'II go over weII here in fashionabIe London.

(Phone rings)

- HeIIo.

- Cab for Miss Jordan.

OK. Thank you.

Oh, it's here.

TeII Mr SIeepypants I said goodbye.

Pip pip, cheerio.

Whatever the heII they do here.

- I Iove you.

- I Iove you too.

Bye, sis.

- Take care.

- You too.

When Dubac started, you couId see how much

she owed to Van Gogh.

She didn't hide it. It's in aII her Iandscapes.

If you Iook here,

what she's doing with this abstract

is something much more caIcuIated

or deveIoped.
