Brush with Danger Page #2

Thanks.

Alright.

[crowd applauses]

For you madam.

Thank you, young man.

Woo!

More, everyone?

Come on, Alice!

Let's give them a show.

Come on!

Come on, get up!

Alice, come on.

They want to see

you do something.

Ken, no!

Come on, they want to

see you do something!

Yeah!

[crowd applauses]

That's what I'm talking about.

Alice Qiang,

ladies and gentlemen.

[crowd applauses]

Woo!

Yeah!

[crowd applauses]

- Good job.

- Thanks.

Good job, Alice.

I saw her the other day too.

She's awesome.

What's her name?

Her name is Alice.

And, she is awesome.

Good job.

Thanks.

More money.

Thank you.

More money, please.

Thank you.

More money, please.

Yeah.

We're rich!

You're so crazy.

Do you like the acrobatics?

Cause, we can do more.

I like this.

This is beautiful.

Did you do this?

I'm interested in

meeting the painter.

You like my work?

Very much.

East Asian, am I right?

What's happening?

The usual.

The police are checking

for market permits.

But sometimes, that's just

their way of finding illegals.

But of course, you have

market permit, right?

Come.

My gallery is

right up the street.

Your what?

My art gallery.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Do these all belong to you?

Well, these are all my painters.

People whose work I

love and try to sell.

Is this your first

time in a gallery?

I've seen them on TV before.

Our dad has a shop

where we sell paintings.

Copies of paintings.

Not like these.

Originals.

Wait a minute.

Do you mind?

I'd like to see all

of them if that's okay.

Oh, this one.

And this one.

You want to buy them?

How much?

Four, six, zero, zero.

- Ken.

- US dollars.

[laughs] Really?

I think that's a little high.

I think I would

try for a thousand.

Maybe, a little more.

You mean one

thousand US dollars?

What is your name?

Alice.

And this is my brother.

Ken.

Alice, I would like to

try to sell your work.

What do you think?

I...

I'll take three.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

Oh, no, that's just a copy.

Yes, I know.

Cezanne.

Not the same size, of course.

You did this?

In my country, people

only want European art.

No one wants originals.

- Originals.

Hmm, I like here.

And here.

You got it exactly right.

Well, no more of this.

From now on, only originals.

Come.

Sit.

My name is Justus Sullivan.

I invest in people I think

have potential like you.

Here is what we can do.

You loan me those

three paintings to hang

here in the gallery.

And in exchange I give you a

small fee for the privilege of

selling your work.

Now, should we get lucky,

the gallery's commission

is 50 percent.

How much fee?

500 dollars.

Deducted of course, from

the proceeds of the sale.
