of the day.

You and Picasso

compete together.

Yes, me and Picasso.

You said something

about a show?

lt's not much of a show.

lt's more of a favor.

Pablo has offered to hang one of

your paintings in his exhibition.

A favor?

Pablo Picasso is doing

Modigliani a favor?

- What's the matter with you?

- You have to care now.

lt is your family

with Jeanne.

You wanna do me a favor?

- l need money for a doctor.

- No, Modi, please.

l need money

for a doctor.

Promise me you'll not

drink it all away.

Okay, take your picture.

What if the doctor drinks?

Am l dying?

You said you had tuberculosis

as a child.

But l feel much better now.

lt never left you.

You can dress now.

Your lungs are working with

less than half their capacity.

If you continue to use

drugs and alcohol...

You will not live

past this year.

This medicine will help

your cough.

- Maybe you shouldn't go there.

- F*** them.

Put on some horns.

Come on.

- Why are you so nervous?

- Nothing.

- What did the doctor say?

- She said l should find a new agent.

Good.

Let's get out of here.

I'm fed up with them.

- There he is.

- Good evening, gentlemen.

Modi, what do you have

to say for yourself?

- Hello, Gertrude.

- Don't Gertrude me.

Four days i've waited.

For days!

Am l not good enough to paint?

Not pretty enough perhaps?

These eyes are not so good to paint

something so sophisticated.

Bold.

Horse sh*t!

Tomorrow morning, my apartment,

ten o'clock sharp.

Sharp, you hear me?

Do not worry. l promise you.

He will be there.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Ladies and gentlemen, may l have

your attention please?

Welcome to the 10th exhibition

of work of the artist Picasso.

And Modigliani, a**hole!

And the distinct works

of Modigliani.

Ladies and gentlemen,

l give you Picasso...

to work your progress.

Oh, no.

Modi, wait.

Wait!

I did it for you.

To help you.

- l don't need that kind of help.

- Fine. Do it for your baby.

You know what she needs?

She needs you.

Yes, she needs you.

Yes, it's papa.

- He should go.

- Why?

Your father will be home soon.

He can't be here.

Can l come with him?

Then what? Let him

abuse you again? Destroy you?

I don't wanna hear.

l don't wanna hear that.

Modi, let's go.

l told him.

I warned you. if you choose

to be with that Jew...

I would have no alternative but

to inform the authorities...

That you are an unfit mother.

After which, they'll take your child

and you'll never see her again.

See how beautiful she is?

Look at her.

Look at her.

Granpapa...

I'll be watching you.

Hello, Madame Stein.

So?

What?

Jeanne, you dummy.

That was a clever stroke

she played there last night.
