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

1:01:01
if your wife takes the greatest care
to get undressed behind a screen.

1:01:06
Estella's seen the pictures too.
Are we in danger from her?

1:01:10
You're so patronizing, Mr Campion.
Everyone has a rich imagination.

1:01:14
What stunts it
is capitalist exploitation.

1:01:16
Go to Soviet Russia
where they've been liberated,

1:01:19
there's an explosion of creativity.
1:01:21
Have you been to Soviet Russia, Pru?
Have you?

1:01:24
I thought for a moment someone knew
what they were talking about.

1:01:29
Communism has exploded every value,
leaving a vacuum of moral anarchy.

1:01:33
- Anarchy is freedom!
- Balls! Sorry. Sorry.

1:01:38
Freedom for the strong
to dominate the weak.

1:01:41
It's exactly as before,
just a different set of bullies.

1:01:44
Speaking of bullies, where's Giddy?
