She's cute.

You want to try this?

Who's the photographer?

Oh, I took that.

It's a great picture.

Thanks.

The composition is so skillful,

but it seems really spontaneous,

almost like a snapshot.

I think it was a snapshot.

Yeah? [Laughs]

That's what's so great about it.

It has this amazing

symmetry to it.

It's really old.

It's really great.

It still seems

really contemporary.

Did you take

all these pictures?

Um, I think so.

Mostly.

Did you take the ones

in the other room?

Yeah. Over the years.

Do you ever publish them

or show?

Is that, like,

what you do?

No. I did a long time ago,

but not anymore.

Who is this woman?

She seems really intense.

Her name's Greta.

[Sniffs]

Luce, who's your friend?

Um, sorry.

What's your name?

[Laughs] Syd.

Right.

Syd.

Uh, Arnie, Joan, Greta.

Syd.

Hey.

- Did you get that leak fixed?

- I tried.

We'll have to see what happens.

- Let us know.

- Okay. I will.

[Joan]

Okay. See ya later.

Yeah.

See ya later.

See you.

That woman upstairs

is a photographer.

Yeah?

What kind

of photographer?

Portraits mostly.

Really. What's, uh...

What's her name?

Lucy.

Lucy?

Yeah. Lucy.

[Chattering]

Good morning.

Hey.

Do you have any aspirin?

Uh, I think so.

They were out of scones.

That would help.

Thanks for the tea.

Sure.

Harry, I was wondering

if I could ask you something.

Is it personal?

[Laughs] No. Um, look,

if this is a bad time...

I can talk to you

about it later.

You're here now. What is it?

Well, it's just that I met... I mean

I know this amazing photographer,

and I just thought

that...

What's his name?

Lucy Krauss or Berli,

or something.

Never heard of her.

Who's she with?

Uh, I'm not sure exactly.

- Does she show?

- Oh, yeah, she's definitely shown.

She does excellent work, Harry.

It's mostly portraiture,

but it's almost documentary.

It's... No, it's more

intimate than that.

And her lighting has this

ethereal quality to it.

It's kind of like

a subverted realism.

Okay, well, let me know

when she shows.

Okay. I think you'd really

like her work, Harry. I mean,

you may want to consider her...

I wouldn't consider her for anything

without knowing who she is.

I wasn't saying that you

would want to consider her

without knowing who she is.

Bring something in.

Has she done a book?

I think so.

Okay.

Bring her book.

Okay. I'll definitely

bring her book for you.

Brilliant. Can't wait.

I need you to call these people.

[Woman]

It's delicious.

Did you make it?

No, I bought it.

Delicious.

Ma, your American Express bill is huge.

What did you buy at Bendel's?

It's over there in the bag.

And I think

they're in your size.

Ma, you didn't spend
