George Dyer
You actually make money out of painting?
Francis Bacon
Mmm.
George Dyer
Not something I ever really thought about. I mean, there were some pictures of my mum's but they weren't really for looking at, they were just... just sort of there.
Francis Bacon
Yes. That is interesting, George.
George Dyer
Nothing like your's, obviously.
Francis Bacon
Obviously.
Francis Bacon
Our time together has given me a whole new energy. Not just for the work, but moment's like these. You may well become a subject for a painting.
George Dyer
That would be fantastic. I always wanted a picture of me.
Francis Bacon
A man being measured for a suit is not the similar to his being measured for the old wooden box.
George Dyer
It feels like a bloody coffin. It's **** hot in here, Francis.
Francis Bacon
Yes it is hot, George. Mr Dyer will arrange to collect the suit and I think we're going to have some shirts and some appropriate ties.
George Dyer
Hold on! Hold on! Don't go over board. I mean, I feel so...
Francis Bacon
So clothed?
George Dyer
You just don't care what people think, do you?
Francis Bacon
Come on, I want you to meet my friends. Now, we can have a drink. God knows I need one.
George Dyer
What? You're mates?
Francis Bacon
The Colony is a refuge for lost souls, no longer in possession of living bodies.
George Dyer
Can't we just go to the pub?
Francis Bacon
No.
Francis Bacon
Everybody, this is George. This is Muriel, Isabel, the beautiful Henrietta, and Deakin. Introduce yourselves. George is a little shy.
George Dyer
Hello...
John Deakin
So... who's Arthur and who's Martha?
Oh, piss off, Deakin! I'm really sick of it!
John Deakin
I'll talk to you after you've had a shave...
George Dyer
You knew it was me, but you made me stand there in the pouring **** rain!
John Deakin
We've missed you, George. What have you been up to? Still posing?
George Dyer
Don't start on me, Deakin. I'm really not in the mood. You have no idea what goes on with me and Francis. You're the **** ponce, not me. At least I don't try to make a career out of someone else's life.
John Deakin
No good deed goes unpunished.
George Dyer
What about Paris?! Am I still coming?!
Francis Bacon
A man that killed the thing he loved and so he had to Dyer! Of course you're coming! You are the exhibition!
Francis Bacon
Look, why don't you just go, George. I got to get on with this.
George Dyer
I'm going, I... I'm going. Anyway, when you gave me the keys, it was meant to mean I could live here.
Francis Bacon
What's past is past.
George Dyer
You call yesterday the past?
Francis Bacon
George, I am a painter! This is a studio! That is a painting! You are in the way!
George Dyer
But it's a painting of me! Or anyone would bloody well notice.
Francis Bacon
Oh, well thank you for the critique, George! I feel much better! Now I know where I stand! Now, after that enlightening discussion, will you just piss off!
