"Dorian Gray"
:20:03
is the most wonderful book
I've ever read!
:20:06
And the end,
when the servants break in,
:20:08
and they find him
wizened, old and dead
:20:11
and the picture young again.
:20:14
I fainted!
:20:15
My family say
it's dull and wicked.
:20:18
Dull!
:20:26
Oh!
:20:28
It's sublime!
:20:30
It's about the masks
we wear as faces.
:20:35
And the faces we wear as masks.
:20:40
That my son should have
written a work of such...
:20:43
People say it's full
of dangerous paradoxes.
:20:46
Hardly anyone will speak
to us any more.
:20:50
We're ceasing
to be respectable.
:20:56
Artists care nothing
about respectability!
:21:01
Oh, it's only jealousy.
:21:03
It's the spite of the untalented
:21:05
for the man of genius.
:21:10
Where is Oscar?
:21:11
He's in the Lake District.
:21:13
Writing a play.
:21:14
A drama?
:21:16
A comedy.
:21:17
Oh!
:21:18
Robbie Ross has gone
to keep him company.
:21:22
I do like Robbie.
:21:25
And they both love you.
:21:28
It'll be a great success.
:21:30
Oscar's made for the stage.
:21:48
- Author!
- Author!
:21:58
Oscar, please.
