Surviving Picasso Page #3

to form my character,

to make me like himself...

tough and afraid of nothing.

But when I grew up, I began to

have my own ideas and desires,

and if they

were opposed to his,

he'd go wild and become

completely irrational.

I knew that this would

take all my courage.

What's the matter with you?

Listen...

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to study

painting full time.

You must be mad.

I am responsible for myself.

You will finish your degree in the

humanities and then go on to law school.

I tried all that,

but I found it doesn't suit me.

I'm not going on to law school,

but I shall try

and be a painter!

I'll give you half an hour.

Go to your room

and think it over,

and in half an hour, come back

and tell me you've been a fool.

I don't need to think

anything over.

I'm giving you this one chance.

That's all.

If you don't take it,

I'll make my own decision

for you.

I'll have you committed...

Because you are mad.

Is grandma home?

Don't you dare touch me.

Don't dare?

I dare!

I dare!

Aah! No!

I'll teach you to say no to me!

No one says no to me!

No one says no to me!

No one in this world!

Woman:
Francoise?

Francoise!

From now on,

you beg for your bread

in the streets.

What...

She did it to herself.

He's lying. He did it.

Don't believe her. She's crazy.

I believe her.

It's you who are crazy.

Here, child.

And in my house.

Aren't you ashamed?

Please leave.

Leave.

Leave, leave my house.

Francoise will stay with me.

Let her stay with you.

You're welcome to each other...

Because I've finished with you.

Both of you!

Finished!

There.

Oh.

Now, you didn't paint the war

because you're not

that kind of painter,

but, uh, it is there,

just the same.

People were hungry,

so I painted sausages

and leeks.

Even a casserole can scream.

Do you have an appointment?

Yes.

He told me to come for a lesson

in engraving this afternoon.

Listen...

It will be better

for you to go home.

Why?

I'm doing you a favor.

Thank you...

But I don't want to anger him

by being late for my lesson.

Excuse me.

So, we are agreed

on this and this?

Haven't agreed on anything yet.

Ah, francoise!

This is monsieur kahnweiler.

He's my oldest dealer.

Kahnweiler:
Mademoiselle.

Hello.

That is to say that, uh,

he shamelessly has exploited

me longer than anyone else.

He gets whatever

he wants out of me

by sheer persistence.

He sits there like a big stone

on his German buttocks.

I'd do anything

to be rid of him.

I'll send the packers

this afternoon.

I haven't said yes.

Shall we say at 4:00?

Look, this may interest you.

I did it in 1902.

Read what I wrote

on the bottom there.
