The Best Offer Page #4

I don't like to appear. I

prefer to remain in shadow.

We're much the same that way.

That doesn't mean we'll agree.

My secretary's been

looking for you.

How do you know that a painter

will become collectable?

Intuition, which also makes

me doubt your intentions.

Sorry for that impression but I've

entrusted you with my belongings.

That's not how it works.

There must be a signed

contract before the inventory.

It takes time, and unless

you stop fooling around

and decide to come out it

will never get started.

Go ahead with the inventory.

I'll meet you at the villa.

We'll reach an agreement.

You have my word.

- Take these.

- Yes.

Be careful!

I'm not sure but it

looks German to me.

Austrian. Careful with that.

It's 11:
00 The

appointment was 8:30.

She's not answering. She said

she'll come. She'll be here.

The piano doesn't

need restoration.

Quite so.

We have to check it

but there's no key.

But here it is.

Last time there was no key.

Looks good.

Mr. Oldman!

Would you help me

with the bookcase?

Italian bookcase, wood.

First half of...

Who smashed this?

Nobody, Mr. Oldman, it

was already broken.

Is this part of the

house inhabited?

Why?

There have been some changes.

No, no, Mr...

I'm sorry, I'm not

sure of your name.

I thought you were...

It doesn't matter who I am.

Nobody lives here.

Be that as it may, if your

mistress is not here by midday

I will have no option but

to suspend operations.

Mr. Oldman!

Miss lbbetson.

Hello, Mr. Oldman?

Mr. Oldman, can you hear me?

Mr. Oldman, I apologise.

What must you think of me?

Spare me the self-serving

justifications.

Let me speak.

I cannot touch your things without

a contract. Is that clear?

Would you leave it on the

table in the hallway?

I'll sign it. I accept

all your conditions.

Yes, but I do not accept yours.

I will not do business with a

silly, superficial phantom.

Be careful!

I understand your exasperation.

But please believe me I

didn't mean anything by it.

It's been a series of unfortunate,

unintentional mishaps.

So what exactly happened today?

My car was stolen and I had to

go to the police to report it.

Which police station

did you go to?

- The one in the city.

- Whereabouts?

- On the main square.

- Which square?

No more interrogation!

No more! Who do you

think you are?

Are you here, Miss lbbetson?

What kind of question is that?

Are you here?

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

- If you're here, come out now.

- Stop it!

Explain the meaning of this game

which I do not find amusing.

Call me tonight. I'll explain.

It's the same material

and the same workmanship too.

These belong to the same system.
