Miranda, was left-handed.

These brush strokes

are from right to left.

They are?

But then, I've forgotten.

And after all, how many

artists are left-handed?

Ha ha. Well, I don't know.

Mr. Chadwick, Blue Dawn is one

of the world's real treasures.

Yes, and a darn good

investment too.

Oh, it's wonderful

when you're lucky enough

to get an authentic original.

Oh, yes. Well, a fellow's

gotta be pretty careful too.

Yes. Reproductions are

so clever these days

'even museums aren't sure

when they have the real thing.'

(Ace)

'I take Blue Dawn.'

How many know of the artist's

inscription on the back?

"To my beloved wife, Katushka."

- It has?

- Yes.

Well, I didn't know that.

Excuse me.

Hey, I don't see anything.

It isn't here.

Oh, it isn't?

Oh, just look

in the lower left-hand corner.

Oh, the lower left hand.

'Hey!'

There's nothing on the back

of this at all.

Why, this is just one

of those, those reproductions.

- But a very fine one.

- Oh, that isn't the point.

She was going to have..

Say, I bet all these are fakes.

At least, you haven't

bought them.

Well, I would've bought them

if you hadn't..

Thank you very much.

Young lady, I want you to know

that I could have you..

Oh, this is a lesson to me.

Oil paintings and..

...oil wells.

Thank you very much.

I think I'll stick

to Magna Cola.

Young lady, misrepresentation

is a practice...

I'm sorry that

you're just leaving.

Yeah, well, I don't

feel very well.

- Ah, no dinner then?

- No. I have no appetite.

It's a practice that

shouldn't be practiced.

- Good night.

- And that goes for you too.

I know exactly how you feel.

How about dinner?

Thanks, but I seem to have

lost my appetite too.

Oh, that's too bad.

Well..

...goodbye.

Oh.

[sighs]

Fairfield, 82240.

Freddy.

Why didn't you tell me

the artist

who painted Blue Dawn

was left-handed?

No. I'm not crazy.

Let me tell you just

how perfect it is.

Didn't you know it was supposed

to have an inscription

from the painter

to his beloved wife, Katushka?

Oh, he was?

And he never even had a wife?

Stick him up.

Aye. Oh, hi, Mr. Connors.

Telegram, sir.

- What does it say?

- Didn't you know? I can't read.

- For a higher education.

- Thank you, sir.

Come in, Fly.

Don't stand out there

in the draft.

(Ace)

'Come in. Close the door.'

Don't worry. It's the house

detective's night off.

Pretty nice layout

you've got here.

So glad you like it.

Won't you sit down?

No. Thank you.

(Ace)

'Do you want a drink?'

I want my share, Connors.

Half of 500 grand.

Let's understand this,

Mr. Feletti.

You had something on hook

that was too big to land

so you came to me and were happy

to sell out for $10,000
