Surviving Picasso Page #4

ganas de joder, jode."

Picasso:
Translate it.

Kahnweiler:
Oh, no, no.

Go on.

Well, if you're too coy...

You translate it.

Kahnweiler:
Good-bye,

mademoiselle.

"When you feel

like f***ing, f***."

Why are you wearing this dress

for an engraving lesson, hmm?

Well, one has to dress up

a bit to visit Picasso.

Oh, well...

Yeah.

I want to show you something.

Come with me.

You're a very lazy dog.

You're always sleeping.

Maybe he's dead.

I'll come up behind,

catch you if you fall.

Don't let anyone in.

Well...

Here.

Go on.

Picasso:
Nice view, huh?

Would you like to stay here?

Up here?

Yes.

Alone?

Yes.

I'd bring you food

twice a day and...

At night we'd go out together

in disguise

like the Arabian nights,

and, uh, you'd be my secret.

My secret captive.

I'd like to be alone

and paint all day.

I wouldn't mind losing

my liberty for that.

But then you'd have to

lose some of yours, too.

And I'm not so sure

you'd like that.

I thought you would

be rather androgynous

under all those clothes

you always wear.

But you're not.

You're definitely not a boy.

Thank God who made you.

For once he got it

absolutely right.

Yes.

It's ridiculous the 2 of us

living in different places.

True.

You should be with him

in the grands-augustins.

Mm-mmm.

Give me a good reason why not.

She's young.

You've got to give her time.

I don't have much time.

That's true, too.

What do you mean by that?

I...

You can tell

your grandmother today

that you're moving out and coming

to live with me, or I'll tell her.

Please, don't say anything.

Why not?

What, is she

some sort of an ogre?

Anyway, I'm not scared

of anyone's grandmother.

He's had 100 lives already.

And the whole world knows how

many women he's destroyed.

I couldn't bear it

for you, darling.

Do you really think

I'd let myself be destroyed by

a man, even if he is Picasso?

Well, I... I don't

understand you.

Uh, it's going against nature.

You are so young.

And he's old.

It's as if you've taken

a wrong turning.

No.

For the first time,

I feel that everything

is right,

that I'm turned

in the right direction.

I'm sure. I'm so sure.

I've never been so sure of

anything in my whole life.

Ohh.

Then it doesn't matter

what I say.

Except...

I love you.

And whatever happens...

I love you.

Good night.

Don't go and live

with him, francoise.

Remember these years

won't come back again.

If you waste them...

They're gone.

It's perverse for...

A young girl to live with

her grandmother as you do.

I suppose she's warned

you against me, eh?

Who needs to be warned?

Your life is

not exactly a secret.

Well, there have been a few

women in my life, yes.
