really dry in the text,

but when I'm looking at your pictures,

I really feel like I understand it.

I don't know.

Do you know what I mean?

I think so.

Am I going off?

[Laughs]

No. No, not at all.

I haven't been deconstructed

in a long time.

- Yeah, I bet you hate that.

- I don't hate it at all.

What about you, Syd?

Are you a photographer?

[Laughs]

No, I'm not a photographer.

Just a connoisseur.

Well, no, I'm an editor.

I mean,

I'm an assistant editor at Frame.

Go into the bedroom.

Why?

The neighbor girl's here.

That's exciting.

Hey.

You remember Syd.

Of course.

How could I forget Syd?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Excuse me.

Sit down.

Get you a beer.

I'm Greta.

I live for Lucy.

I mean,

I live here with Lucy.

Syd.

[Laughs]

You want one?

Sure.

That's a great picture.

Thanks.

All these pictures are great.

- Do you have a book?

- What kind of book?

Of your work... like a monograph

or a catalog or something.

- Nothing recent.

- You've never seen her book?

No.

That book's really old.

Really.

This is a great reproduction.

Yeah, you know,

actually we've been trying to

get her out of retirement.

Haven't we, liebchen?

[Door Opens, Closes]

Hey.

[Arnie]

Hey, man.

- Greta around?

- She's in the bedroom.

Do you think I could

borrow this book?

You can have it.

No, no.

I'll definitely return it.

No, you take it.

Seriously, I don't need it.

[Harry]

We really love these.

They're modern, sexy, classic...

Um...

I don't think they're classic, really.

Transcendent, not classic.

Same thing, really.

[Exhales]

Sorry to interrupt.

- Just brought you your sandwiches.

- Thanks. We're starved.

- I think we spoke. I'm Dieter.

- Hey. Um, Syd.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you two had met.

- What did she get?

- Um, tuna, some kind of veggie...

- What's the book?

- Oh, this is Lucy Berliner.

I just brought it in

for Harry to look at.

- I love Lucy Berliner.

- Where did you get this book?

- She gave it to me.

- She gave it to you?

Well, I borrowed it from her.

What's the book?

It's Lucy Berliner,

the photographer

I was talking to you about.

You don't know

Lucy Berliner?

Oh, right.

Of course,

Lucy Berliner.

I thought

she was living in Berlin.

No, she's definitely here.

- Is she working again?

- She never stopped working.

I can't believe that.

She was so belligerent

when she left New York.

Right. I remember that.

I mean, the real "f*** you"

to everyone who helped her come up.

You know, that was it.

No explanations, nothing.

How do you know her?

We're neighbors.

When did she get back?

Uh, recently,

I think.

Why didn't

we know about this?

We should have

been on top of this.

Who else knows?
