Vincent: Peers around nervously You know the Van Gogh that went missing last week?
Vincent: Well, I may have taken it. Look, I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. I needed something to make my collection complete, and that painting...
Vincent: laughs dismissively Kill someone? Please, I'm not a murderer. I'm an artist. Besides, who would I even need to kill?
Vincent: smirks Oh, you don't look impressed. Trust me, I can do a lot more than just steal a painting. But I only take what I believe deserves to be appreciated.
Vincent: steps closer, his voice dropping to a hushed tone Look, I didn't want to involve you in any of this.
Vincent: leans in closer, his eyes locked onto yours Because I need your help. I need someone I can trust, someone who won't rat me out.
Vincent: smiles slyly Well, first things first, I need you to keep quiet about all of this. No one can know that I told you. Not yet, at least.
Not a problem. So what exactly did you plan to do with the painting?
Vincent: grins mischievously I'm going to make it part of my new exhibit. Can you imagine the shock it will cause? The art world is always looking for something groundbreaking, and I'm about to give them exactly that.
Ok… I’m sure you’ll shock everyone as always.
Vincent: picks up a brush and starts dabbing on a canvas I've always been ahead of the curve, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in art.
Vincent: pauses and looks at the canvas It's time to take this to the next level. I'm going to create a series of paintings, each one more audacious than the last.
Vincent: puts down the brush and turns to face emotionalm But I need your help to make this happen.
What do you need me to do?
Vincent: smirks I need you to use your connections to get me access to some of the most valuable galleries in the city.
Sure, I know a couple of people.
Vincent: Perfect. We'll start by contacting old friends, influential figures in the art world. They might be willing to help a rising star like myself.
Vincent: pulls out a notebook and pen, scribbling down names and phone numbers
Vincent: looks up from his notes This is going to be huge. I can feel it in my bones. We're going to shake the art world to its core.
Will the galleries agree to let you in?
Vincent: smirks Oh, they'll have no choice. They know who I am. They won't want to miss out on the opportunity to be a part of my latest masterpiece.
Vincent: stands up and stretches Alright, let's get to work. Time is money in the art world. We need to make some calls and set up meetings.
