Excuse me, I found this lying around. Where should I leave it?
Right here.
Cool. Thanks.
No, thank you.
Could you put it with the rest of the things?
What's with the stuff that gets lost in this museum?
Who do you think owns this?
I have no idea.
It sure belongs to some hipster ***.
Oh, look at me, I listen to indie rock and I drink champagne.
That's awful.
Or this. I'm sure it's from a *** businessman.
I'm so very important. I take care of my health. I use an umbrella, even during summer.
No, that doesn't make sense. I bet it belongs to someone like...
Hello, good day.
Good day.
It seems I have lost my umbrella. Do you happen to have it?
Is it this one by any chance?
Precisely. I cannot thank you enough.
Thank you. Have a good day.
No, thank you.
You have a good eye.
It's all about the experience.
How long have you been cloakrooming?
Long enough.
I get that anyone can lose a hat, or an umbrella, but don't you think this is a bit too much?
It was lost last Wednesday, and nobody has claimed it.
Nobody? Since last Wednesday?
I think the owner doesn't even know he lost it.
That or the things inside are not important and he doesn't care about losing them.
What are you doing?
I dropped it. Who do you think owns this stuff?
Duh. It's obviously a girl.
Well, almost obvious. There's weird people going around.
One with plenty of style.
With an inclination towards the arts.
A bit shortsighted.
And...
Playful.
Creative.
Smart.
What's wrong?
The girl you just described...
Sounds like the perfect girl.
Are you kidding me?
Whatever.
Wait!
I'm going to look for her.
Look for who?
The owner of the bag.
You can't be serious.
Why not?
OK. So you're just going to ask people in the streets
Hey, have you seen a girl wearing a scarf?
No. But I have this.
What is it?
A receipt for an annual museum membership, bought the same day the bag was lost.
Too bad she paid in cash and you can't use it to find out who she is.
You think she's coming back.
Yes.
The girl with the scarf?
Yes.
And you're going to find her.
That's right. And you are going to help me.
No way.
The first thing you should do is check the security cameras.
You know what? I'm going to check the cameras.
Right. And you know how long it will take you to check all the recordings?
Anything for the prize. Plus, we know which day she lost the bag.
Found anything yet?
Nope. Nothing.
Come here. Look at this.
Hold on. Where have I seen these paintings?
They are all paintings from the contemporary room.
I swear, Sometimes it feels like...
You didn't even work here.
Bingo!
So that's your perfect woman? Your Mona Lisa? Your superstar?
Either help me, or shut up.
Let me see.
Look. She loves that painting.
I don't get what she finds so special about it.
Neither do I. She has terrible taste.
What do you know about art?
The same as anybody who looks after clothes in a museum.
If she likes this painting so much, she will probably come back to see it.
So all your hopes rest on a single painting?
Yes.
How long have you been here?
Half an hour, give or take.
Stop wasting your time. Go back to work. You'll never find her like this.
And what do you suggest me do to find her?
First of all, get up, go to the entrance...
Hi. Can I ask you a question?
Sure.
About a week ago, I was here and I lost my bag.
I just wanted to know if, by any chance you had it around, in lost and found, or something.
What was it like?
It's somewhat red, and it had lots of things. A scarf, my glasses... Some university stuff...
Give me one second.
Is it this one?
That one! Yes, that one! I can't believe you found it!
Thank you!
Have a good day.
Thank you so much!
Bye.
***. So close.
Shouldn't you be inside?
Who cares? Nobody comes to museums anymore.
What's wrong?
I give up.
It's about time.
Come on, cheer up. There's loads of women out there.
You're right.
Where are you going?
Wait, you forgot this!
Look, I did it! It took me many days but I finally finished it!
What are you doing?
It doesn't matter who the real owner of this stuff is.
They fit you just right.
