Tom Ripley : I keep a place in Venice. You?

Reeves Minot : I know. I'm an art dealer. Yes, that's it. You? The articles never say your profession, only "loyal friend to the fugitive."
Tom Ripley : I'm an art dealer too.
Reeves Minot : I thought you would be. I can usually tell.
Tom Ripley : So can I.
[They both smile]
Reeves Minot : Well, if you would ever like to discuss, say... art... give me a call.
[He gives Tom his card]
Reeves Minot : Now, I must mingle. The price of the wine. Pleasure to meet you, Tom.
