OUTTAKES: The Kew Money Guy, The British Documentary Filmmaker, and The Loud Americans

Ever so slightly dramatized.

KMG: “Marianne North’s oil painting is preserved by the acidic paper.”
TLA: “That’s fascinating.  I mean, I’m just shocked that she’s so technically skilled.  Did she know about the acidic paper?”

BDF: “So if we make the movie – and we’re crossing our fingers – we’re gonna want to film this, so, can we film this, and what’s the format of this image, exactly?  Can we light it?”
KMG: “Well—”
TLA: “We know the paper’s acidic, right?  Here’s a question – would Marianne North have known the paper she was painting on was acidic?
KMG: “Well—”

KMG: “The Reading Room is open for use by anyone who needs to be here.”
TLA: “What’s the criteria for needs to be here? Who decides?”
BDF: *nods*
KMG: “Well, if someone came in and said, ‘I want to look at pictures of roses,’ we might suggest they may be better-suited elsewhere.”
TLA: “Good, good.  Gosh, these are some pretty flowers.  She definitely must have known about the acidic paper.”
