- You jealous?
- Don't be ridiculous.

:59:05
- You like him too, don't you?
- We didn't speak when he untied me.

:59:09
- You didn't need to.
- You're really shocking.

:59:50
Your characters all seem so ravenous.
Can't love ever be gentle?

:59:55
Yes, of course it can,
but I'm not painting love scenes.

:59:58
Sorry, yes - "lust scenes."
1:00:00
But there is a fierceness in desire,
isn't there? In lovemaking?

1:00:04
One of life's great conundrums.
1:00:06
The only one,
according to your paintings.

1:00:08
I admit that the human universe
1:00:10
is infinitely richer
than my meagre palette.

1:00:14
For instance,
I do absolutely no justice at all

1:00:17
to the nervous Nellies and
the shrinking violets, the saints...

1:00:21
You're very contemptuous
of shrinking violets.

1:00:24
Dear Estella,
I'm a shrinking violet myself.

1:00:28
I choose to live
not in the real world but in here.

1:00:31
I flee from the real world
into my little studio

1:00:34
and there before me is the
unlimited canvas of my imagination.

1:00:38
But your paintings,
they do go out into the real world.

1:00:42
While you have a wonderful
imagination, most are stunted

1:00:45
and you have no idea what effect
they'll have on people

1:00:48
or what they might
incite them to. Rape?

1:00:50
Mr Campion, in my opinion,
1:00:53
the female body is the most
beautiful thing in the world

1:00:56
and if it turns you into a ravenous
maniac I'd suggest it's a good idea
