Quoting Richard Oldenburg, of the Museum of Modern Art in New York,
in the catalogue of my Dad, William S. Paley’s, collection of paintings, about working with Dad.

Mr. Allen, ‘substantial’ would be the value of my Dad’s paintings on view at the De Young in San Francisco, wouldn’t you say? Just so we’re clear on the terms. For a man worth $14 billion dollars who is not afraid to boast about it, and goes out of his way to show off his knickknacks, I’m sure you can agree that that would be a ‘substantial’ amount. In that case, we do have a deal.
The trial should be very interesting if it goes forward. All of you have demonstrated, as you have just kept trying to strong arm Kate Paley unrelentingly for going on 5 years, expressing your contempt, exceptionably notable in the 3 days of grueling deposition you put her through, that you go through life without a thought or care for anybody but yourselves, and that you truly believe no one has any worth or value except yourselves. Its been quite remarkable to witness this up close and personal as it were. To be the direct recipient, etc. Who would have thunk it?
