GUEST: I wanted to get a painting for my dressing room when I got into the Broadway show "Chicago," and I was looking for a New York scene. I went to the flea market on 25th Street and I just loved the energy of it, and I bought it.
APPRAISER: It's got great energy, as it should.
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: I mean, here we are in the crossroads of the world. You must have known this, these streets pretty well.
GUEST: Yes, I've, I've been in about nine Broadway shows...
APPRAISER: Okay.
GUEST: So I know this area very well.
APPRAISER: I think it may fall into that territory that... I use an expression probably a little too often on the ROADSHOW, the "gifted amateur."
GUEST: Oh.
APPRAISER: You know, it may not be an academically trained artist.
GUEST (laughs): That doesn't sound good, Alasdair.
APPRAISER (laughs): Well, van Gogh wasn't an academically trained artist. So you, you know, it's not a diss or anything like that. What did you pay for it?
GUEST: It might have been a little too much. Now I'm a little embarrassed about it. About $1,100.
APPRAISER: That's exactly the right number.
GUEST: (laughs)
APPRAISER: (chuckles)
GUEST: I'm glad you came, Alasdair.
