The Marquis de Hoffstein
- Karen: bc!
- it's a portrait!
- who gets a portrait of themselves??
- Husband: but does it look legit?
- should i get one for the house?
- i can start selling these
- at a handsome markup
- everyone is saying it has a mona lisa smile
- Karen: babe
- i do not want that thing in my house
- Husband: your house?
- Karen: ha
- our house
- Husband: do you think my mom would like one?
- Karen: no!
- Husband: seriously?
- i think it's a great portrait
- Karen: babe
- no one needs a portrait
- Husband: i can't figure out whether you just hate the idea of a portrait or hate this actual portrait
- Karen: the idea
- Husband: ok well that's just your personal hangup
- before photography, people had oil paintings done all the time
- it's a classic gift
- Karen: babe, maybe of the family or something
- but not of just yourself
- Husband: you are saying that people never had portraits done of themselves?
- there are no portraits of teddy roosevelt?
- Karen: ha!
- you're not teddy roosevelt
- Husband: i'm only 34
- how do you know what's going to happen
- he wasn't president until 42
- anyhow, i'm going to simply step aside and let your dark energy fly past
- Karen: haha
- ok dear
- Husband: and we can either put one of these in our bedroom or the library
- your choice
- maybe ted's room
- Karen: oh dear lord
- Husband: when i'm gone this is going to be something that you treasure
