And if she goes, I'm going with her.
- She will too.
Like hell you will.
- Whatever happened to beautiful?
- Well, it certainly isn't here.
That is tragic. Absolutely tragic.
You really think so?
Yes, I think it's really tragic
that this is the kind of junk...
...that's passing for art these days.
That's a completely
different conversation.
- Don't you think it's a hype?
- I don't understand...
Hype, hustle, rip-off.
Are you a critic?
Do you know the artist?
What's her name?
Laura Mars.
I know her fairly well.
Well, if you see her,
will you point her out to me?
I'd be interested to find out...
...what kind of frustrated
voyeur type this chick is.
She's nothing like that at all.
She's very old-fashioned.
Sort of like Grandma Moses.
Laura.
Excuse me. Could I
steal you away for a moment?
Are you her?
Her stuff is really disgraceful,
don't you think?
Doris Spenser's
been horribly murdered.
There's a detective here,
and he's asking people questions.
Oh, shit!
Everything happens to me.
Murdered.
Something about her eyes.
What did you say about her eyes?
Something sharp.
Let's get you a drink.
Laura?
Come on, darling.
It's all right, Billy.
Tonight at the
E laine Cassell Gallery in Soho...
...fans awaited
the famous and wealthy...
...for the opening
of Laura Mars' Photo Exhibit.
But the glamour was disrupted...
...by news of the brutal murder
of Doris Spenser...
...editor of the soon-to-be-published
book The Eyes of Mars.
Miss Mars left
the gathering immediately.
But as word
of the murder circulated...
...it had the effect of increasing
sales of the photographs.
More after this message.
Elaine.
I'm all right. Are you?
We're all over the goddamn news.
The gallery, the murder, you, me.
I don't think I'll be able to shoot.
Of course you're going to shoot.
Life has to go on.
Elaine...
...do you believe in...
...psychic...
...psychic experience?
I believe in a good night's sleep.
I'm gonna take something
that'll knock me out for hours.
I suggest you do the same.
All right.
The opening was beautiful.
That's very sweet of you.
Sleep tight.
She's still beautiful, isn't she?
That's the problem.
- Come on.
- Let go of me!
Let go of me, you pig!
Don't push me!
Morning, Wendy.
You like?
Good. Michele.
For Lulu.
I think she'd like it, right?
Good morning.
Robert, the fan
will be on the left...
...so let's get the hair on the right.
Fine, there's plenty of volume here.
It's very nice hair.
- Mighty tired eyes.
- I'll be all right.
Everything under control?
Who wants coffee?
- Tea, tea!
- Forget it. Fifteen minutes.
Joey, the same colour on the nails.
Joey.
I'd like her mouth more fuchsia,
her eyes more intense.
I'd like them to pop.
I want to see the mouth
and the eyes from a mile away.
- Bert, how's this look?
- It's good. They're all good.
- Which one are we gonna use?
- So choose.
Now this one.
This one is really beautiful.
- It's beautiful. We'll just...
- Crop it there.
That's right. I'm very pleased.
These are really wonderful.
What are we gonna start with?
Coats and lingerie.
Okay, but on this one
I gotta see lace, right?
Don't worry.
You can do anything you want to do,
just show me the lace.
- Here, check the layout.
- I don't need to, Bert.
Every photographer's
got to look at layouts.
She doesn't have to look at layouts.
Nickey.
- Move the main light lower.
- This is your idea, Laura.
Don't forget why
we're shooting it this way.
You want lace?
Today is lace day here.
We'll have lace on Columbus.
We'll have lace on the cherub.
Bert, enjoy yourself. Relax.
You hired this woman,
let her do her work.
She's beautiful. Watch.
God, Lulu!
You don't have to pull that hard.
Girls, I love it!
Michele, Lulu, look more this way.
Broader action.
Michele, see the lens.
Ready?
Check that.
- Hey, we gonna work or what?
-
