It's not every day

a Caravaggio changes hands.

There's

no rush, is there?

Of course not. We both have to

be satisfied with the results.

The X-ray team were asking for

another ten thousand euros.

They're sending their best

people over from New York.

Bob, let me split

the fee with you.

Absolutely not.

I wouldn't hear of it.

Just give me an invitation

once it's on your wall.

I won't keep it

at home.

It will have a pride

of place at my museum.

Once we know

it's real.

Maria?

What is this nonsense?

MARIA:
It's not

going to work, madam.

Your friends, the Bernards. They have been

here before, they would have seen her.

They haven't seen her.

Nobody looks at a maid.

Now come on out here,

Maria, right this minute.

They will recognize me, madam.

Well, if they find

your face familiar,

they'll just think they

saw you at a fashion show.

Madam, you know

it's a sin to lie?

You're not lying,

you're not hurting anybody.

It's like a part in

our own little play.

It's fun. It's like

being in a movie.

Except you're changing your life

from ABC to HBO, you get it?

Not really.

(GROANS) I'll make it

simple, avoid them.

You're at the far end

of the table anyway.

What about Jacques? Jacques would

make a perfect guest, madam.

Steven, you have

a dress I can wear?

No, no, no.

Forget it. Okay.

This is Bob's fault and

I want him to suffer.

Now, Maria let me

look at you.

Oh my God.

She's not even dressed.

Will you get her pulled together, please.

And listen to me.

Don't speak to much.

Don't smile too much

and don't eat too much.

Yes, madam.

Don't drink too much either.

Nobody likes that. Trust me.

How do I rate amongst

your students?

You're definitely not

the most disciplined one.

You're the most studious.

You're the most studious one.

- The most studious one?

- Yes.

I wish I could think of something

to say now in French but

now I'm baffled.

You're always baffled.

Anne! Not always.

You remember

my French teacher?

Ah! Yes, Melanie.

Fanny. I'm Fanny.

Of course.

How silly of me.

Don't worry about it. I'll

answer to almost anything.

Ah. (SIGHS)

Don't speak to much.

Don't eat too much.

Don't smile to much.

(MUTTERING IN FRENCH)

Who is that?

What's her name.

Who is she really?

What are you

talking about?

She'll claim she's Maria

Escalante but the truth is she's

Maria Immaculata

of the Two Sicilies.

You're not serious?

Countess of Asturias,

the House of Bourbon,

second cousin of

Juan Carlos.

She'll deny it.

And I never told you.

Are you a fan

of Caravaggio?

(STAMMERS)

I love the holy family.

Oh. Good for you.

I keep a portrait of the

baby Jesus by my bed.

Oh, by whom? I'm a big
