So, where do you want me?
100
So, will we be engaged
in
flattery[A1]
or reality?
101
Are you going to paint me
as a cherub[A2]
or a bulldog?
102
I imagine there are a great number
of Mr. Churchills.
103
Yes, indeed there are.
104
Well, as you search for him,
105
perhaps I can implore[A3]
you
not to feel the need to be too accurate[A4] .
106
-Why? Accuracy[A5]
is truth.
-No. For accuracy, we have the camera.
107
Painting is the higher art.
I paint a bit myself, you know.
108
Yes, sir, I know.
109
And I never let accuracy get in the way
of truth if I don't want it to.
110
If I see some landscape[A6]
I like, and I wish
there wasn't a factory in the background,
111
I leave the factory out.
112
So, Mr. Sutherland, tell me,
I'm fascinated. What is your process?
113
First, I shall take some photographs,
114
they'll be useful as reference
when I get back to the studio.
115
Then I shall do some charcoal [A7] sketches[A8]
studies of the head, the hands
116
and then I'll work those sketches up[A9] .
117
The actual painting up
will be done in my studio at home.
118
-Is this... Do you mind?
-Perfectly all right. Carry on.
119
Well, what pose are you thinking of?
120
Seated.
121
I could try standing?
It might be more commanding. Dynamic.
122
It might make me look younger.
123
I thought the painting was supposed
to celebrate reaching a certain age?
124
Four score years, Winston.
125
-I think seated is more senatorial[A10] .
-Oh, senatorial.
126
What nonsense.
127
Yes, I agree.
128
Cigar or no cigar?
129
No cigar.
130
-Garter
robes [A11] or no garter robes?
-No finery[A12] .
131
No grandiosity[A13] .
132
Dressed merely as a parliamentarian.
133
How prosaic[A14] .
134
-I liked him.
-Yes, I could tell.
135
You were smitten[A15] ,
blushing[A16] like a little girl.
136
-Well, he is rather a wow[A17] .
-A "wow"?
137
Tall and handsome, saturnine[A18] .
A bit of a Heathcliff[A19] .
138
He wants total control.
139
Well, any artist worth anything
would insist on that.
140
-You don't really want a flatterer.
-Yes, I do.
141
No, you don't.
Besides, it's manifestly[A20] clear he's a fan.
142
Oh, no, don't be silly.
You can smell the socialism on him.
143
Even the socialists
acknowledge you saved the country.
144
Through gritted teeth[A21] .
145
I have the protective instincts
of a loving wife
146
and I can tell you
this one is not an assassin.
147
Oh, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa.
Look.
Look at this.
