The image of the woman hidden beneath all that acrylic paint.

"Oh Jeff, I love you, too...But..."

Play it again.

"Oh Jeff, I love you, too...But..."

Goddamn, that's creepy. What or who do you think it is?

Hell if I know. Somehow her voice is trapped in the painting, just like the image of the woman hidden beneath all that acrylic paint.

I read once about a tribe in Brazil that won't let anyone take photos of them.

Why not?

They believe it will steal their souls.

Do you think that....

Don't be absurd.

What do we tell the owner? He paid $210K for that thing.

WE don't tell him anything.
