The Forger Page #3

People need to figure out...

how to find their success.

And don't believe

that success is a luxury.

It's a necessity. Trust me.

You must be new

on the charity event circuit.

Oh, yeah.

This is a very poor

use of canvas.

Unless it's yours,

in which case it's...

in which case? Oh...

Everly will be disappointed in

your analysis of his new work.

- Anne-Marie, how nice to see you.

- Hello, Everly.

I see you've met our

young artist-In-Residence?

We chatted.

- Anne-Marie, Joshua mason.

- Hello, josh.

So, what were you talking about?

Me, I hope.

Oh, actually, we were.

Yes, Joshua was just giving a very

astute analysis of your new work.

Well, he is very bright.

And I feel a lot of this work

is very strong.

I mean, I think Im entering

a special phase in my career.

- Special is the word.

- Thank you.

Oh, Ive just seen the mayor,

will you excuse me?

Well... it was nice

meeting you, Anne-Marie.

Likewise.

Ryan.

- Joshua.

- Nice to meet you, josh.

My sister told me

the whole story.

I jumped in the other day without

knowing what was really going on.

Man, you got a mean left hook.

Ooh. Sorry about that.

Hey, you know, your shots were

pretty good, too.

I was feeling that the next day.

Hey, thanks for

backing up my sister.

It means a lot.

No problem.

So, what are you doing here?

I just... I love hanging

out with old people.

Or... two great minds...

think alike.

I saw you talking to Anne-Marie.

What was that all about?

Nothing.

She's just some crazy old lady.

This town's, like, full of them.

She's actually one

of the pretty cool ones.

- For how famous she is.

- Really?

Yeah. She's crazy rich.

The word is,

she keeps tons of cash.

That little art studio

by the beach,

- It's like a little cottage down there.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Huh.

II don't really remember

what I was looking for.

IMaybe it was the money.

IAt least that would've gotten

me out of that crazy place.

What are you doing here?

Nothing...

what have you got there?

His name was George.

He brought art into this town.

But he didn't have the strength

to stay alive in it.

Why do you have

a picture of him?

Well, he was

very close to my family.

Very talented and very lost.

- Oh, your ride's here.

- Is it the police?

Everly.

You live with him, right?

Not by choice.

Oh...

Im so sorry about this,

Anne-Marie.

Oh, not to worry.

I appreciate your understanding.

Come on.

Why is he living with you?

Oh, Ive taken him on as

a kind of live-In art student.

It's an alternative

work program.

I had no idea you'd

become so philanthropic.

Well, you know,

we all try to do...

...whenever we can.

Hey, Vanessa?

Um, a Ms. Cole
