1 nq240403_msg0001 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ah, you're back!
I was in an agony of waiting!
2 nq240403_msg0002 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Tell me...have you any news to report?
3 nq240403_msg0003 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Well...
4 nq240403_msg0004 se1 0x8101 0x4081 0x430 126 200,000G?!
5 nq240403_msg0005 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, we couldn't believe it either.
All that dosh for one little picture.
6 nq240403_msg0006 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 How can I possibly thank you?!
7 nq240403_msg0007 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What price, faith in oneself? How can
one value the knowledge that other
people appreciate one's art?!
8 nq240403_msg0008 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So what do you want to do with the
portrait? You could sell it, or keep it.
9 nq240403_msg0009 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I know exactly what I shall do!
10 nq240403_msg0010 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I shall gift it to you!
11 nq240403_msg0011 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Are you sure about that, mate?
12 nq240403_msg0012 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 'Tis but a small token of my gratitude for
resolving the problem that had been
gnawing at my heart!
13 nq240403_msg0013 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What problem?
14 nq240403_msg0014 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The problem of passion!
15 nq240403_msg0015 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The passion inspired by a work of art
is the most important aspect of culture!
16 nq240403_msg0016 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I used to have K to opine upon my work
and feed my passion for the arts.
17 nq240403_msg0017 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 After his untimely passing, there was none
left to confront the true meaning of my
work. I was half-resigned to obscurity...
18 nq240403_msg0018 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 However! You hand me this judgment of
abundant value! The passion I had lost
returns tenfold, overflowing my heart!
19 nq240403_msg0019 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm getting about one word in ten.
20 nq240403_msg0020 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You model your portraits
on real people, don't you?
21 nq240403_msg0021 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Who will you paint next?
22 nq240403_msg0022 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmmm... This will be my first comeback
work, so I should take someone brimming
with personality to be my model...
23 nq240403_msg0023 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Wait, are you going to paint us?
24 nq240403_msg0024 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Mmm, no, you're too fierce
of spirit, too bestial to be the
subject of my portrait.
25 nq240403_msg0025 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What I want to paint is someone who...
who appears weak at first glance, but
has a core of strength within!
26 nq240403_msg0026 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeaaah, that rules out us six then.
27 nq240403_msg0027 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Then why don't we get one of the
commanders involved, or one of the
others who've agreed to help us?
28 nq240403_msg0028 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 That would be wonderful!
I am in your debt!
29 nq240403_msg0029 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We'll see if we can find anyone who looks
promising, and bring them back here.
30 nq240403_msg0030 se1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I shall await your return!
