  • “- Alice Keach: The painting, when will we be able to see all of it?
    - Birkin: I don't know. It's a bit like a jigsaw. A face, a shoe, here a bit, there a bit. It comes together very slowly, if it comes together at all. Of course, after... 500 years I can't be sure what I'll find.
    - Alice Keach: But that's the exciting part, isn't it? Not knowing what's around the corner, like, er... like opening a parcel at Christmas. So you must let me see it. I'll haunt you a little until you do.”

    Natasha Richardson - Alice Keach
    Colin Firth - Birkin
