Mr. Pacino: Mr. Degas isn’t it true that you took lessons from Miss Jane and that she taught YOU everything you know and that you took HER paintings and put your name on them and you took YOUR paintings and put her name on those? Mr. Degas: What?Mr. Pacino: Mr. Degas you are out of order!
Mr. Degas: I'M out of order - YOU'RE out of order - the whole sequence of events is out of order!
First I took MY name off of my paintings and put them on HER paintings then I took HER name off of her paintings and put them on MY paintings.
Mr. Pacino: Huh?
Why did you do it Mr. Degas? Why did you steal her paintings?
Mr. Degas: I told Miss Jane to get with it - it’s the 1890's - people will love beautiful ballerina paintings and she just laughed and said that impressionism would never work. . .the verdict: all profits and proceeds from the sale of all 'Degas' paintings from the 1800's until today should immediately be sent to Miss Jane. 8x10 oil on canvas panel 'little ballerinas' $100 plus shipping and handling or best offer.

Jane, I really like your unusual point of view of young dancers about to go on stage. I can feel their excitement and jitters. Kind of like putting brush to canvas, eh? I'm glad you're inspired to return to pastels. Thank you for telling me so. Mr. Degas and I will be awaiting your new work!
I like the ballerinas.
Good for you putting Mr Degas in his place. \The nerve!
