EVERYBODY: (ad lib): Yeah, okay . . . good idea. (They all<br />
think.)<br />
SAGOT: Hmmm. Wh<strong>at</strong>‘s <strong>the</strong> word . . . wh<strong>at</strong>‘s <strong>the</strong> word. I‘ve got it.<br />
M<strong>at</strong>isse.<br />
(Sagot says it a couple of times to check, and his mouth goes into<br />
a smile. All try as <strong>the</strong>y reform in a group.)<br />
SAGOT (gets behind <strong>the</strong> camera): Okay, everyone say ―M<strong>at</strong>isse.‖<br />
One, two, three.<br />
(They all say it and smile, except PICASSO, who frowns.)<br />
SAGOT: Try again, one more time. (They say, ―M<strong>at</strong>isse‖; everyone<br />
smiles but PICASSO.)<br />
SAGOT: <strong>Picasso</strong>, you‘re not smiling!<br />
PICASSO: Well, I just can‘t! Not if you‘re going to say ―M<strong>at</strong>isse‖!<br />
(They all think some more)<br />
EINSTEIN: How about Rubens?<br />
PICASSO: Oh, please.<br />
SAGOT: How about Michelangelo Buonarroti?<br />
GASTON: We haven‘t got <strong>the</strong> time for everyone to say<br />
―Nicholangelo Canelloni‖!<br />
PICASSO: El Greco! We can say ―El Greco.‖<br />
GERMAINE: El Greco doesn‘t make our mouths go in a smile; it<br />
makes it go in an O. We‘ll all look like fish. (In union, <strong>the</strong>y try ―El<br />
Grec-oh.‖ They don‘t like it. They all think some more.)<br />
COUNTESS: I‘ve got one. How about ―twice‖? (Smiles as she<br />
says it)<br />
PICASSO: No! Not ―twice.‖
