Pickman's Muse Page #2

ART DEALER:
Sometimes l think you live in a bubble.

You know that, Robert?.

PlCKMAN:
Maybe l do. ljust came by for supplies...

ART DEALER:
Ever since all that horrible business...

ART DEALER:
l've got people coming in here all the time trying

to pass off imitations of Goodie's work...

ART DEALER:
...especially of the church.

ARTDEALER:
This is the best example l've seen .

ART DEALER:
And you 've never seen one of

Goodie's paintings?

PlCKMAN:
ljust don 't know how many times l can tell you -- no.

ART DEALER:
That's simply amazing. Well, l want to show

you something.

PlCKMAN:
Show me what?

ART DEALER:
One of Goodie's works, of course. l've got one

of the last ones.

ART DEALER:
Managed to get one before they locked them all

up as evidence.

ART DEALER:
And l'm going to retire on that sale when

the time's right.

PlCKMAN:
l don 't have time right now. ljust need

the supplies...

ART DEALER:
l'll take care of your supplies. But come on ,

l want to show you this.

ART DEALER:
l'm embarrassed to say it, but those murders

were a real boon for sales.

ART DEALER:
You know what they say: Nothing improves the

price of an artist's work more than death, or insanity.

ART DEALER:
l had a feeling something was not right with

Goodie when he starting signing his paintings differently.

ART DEALER:
Strange little thing, really; he began connecting

the two O's in Goodie like the sign for infinity.

ART DEALER:
Yep. Amazing piece of work, isn 't it?

ART DEALER:
Say what you want about the material, but no

one has a right to deprive the art community of such work.

PlCKMAN:
l've never seen anything like this.

ARTDEALER:
This is one of his last pieces. His most radical

change in style.

ART DEALER:
Don 't stare at it too long; it'll give you one hell of

a headache.

ART DEALER:
Something he does with the angles, the way

they are all wrong like that.

ART DEALER:
You 'll get a pain in your head a handful of

aspirins won 't get rid of -- trust me.

ART DEALER:
Hideous and beautiful all at the

same time -- isn 't it?

PlCKMAN:
l'd give anything to paint like this.

ART DEALER:
He had such an incredible imagination .

ART DEALER:
No matter how horrible the image, you feel as if

you know it, or should know it.

PlCKMAN:
Like a forgotten nightmare...

ART DEALER:
Look at the faces of the victims.

ART DEALER:
The anguish is so real, and every inch of that

strange landscape holds a weight to it, a truth.

ART DEALER:
As if it were drawn from a photograph

and not pulled from his imagination .

ART DEALER:
As if he were there.

ART DEALER:
He would go on and on about anotherworld that

he said he was able to look upon through a secret window.
