Clifford Irving:
I've known Elmyr for about eight years. We met when I was broke. When I was writing fiction. I wasn't selling it very well.
Orson Welles:
His fiction didn't sell. Elmyr's biographer's a highly gifted writer. Does it say something for this age of ours that he could only make it big by fakery?
Elmyr de Hory:
Le grande surprise!
Orson Welles:
Cliff Irving's caper may well be the hoax of the century, but, really, this is not, you know, in any way the century of the hoax. We hanky-panky men have always been with you.
Elmyr de Hory:
That's a fact.
Orson Welles:
What's new?
Clifford Irving:
The experts.
Elmyr de Hory:
The so-called experts...
Orson Welles:
Experts are the new oracles.
Elmyr de Hory:
- are greatly pretentious...
Orson Welles:
They speak to us with the absolute authority of the computer.
Elmyr de Hory:
- pretend to know something what they only know very superficially.
Orson Welles:
And we bow down before them. They're God's own gift to the faker.
Clifford Irving:
All the world loves to see the experts and the establishment made a fool of.
