Ojos grandes

Ruben: What's that with the big crazy eyes?
Walter Keane: Oh. Well, I believe that you can see things in the eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul.

Walter Keane: Would you rather sell one $500 painting or a million cheaply reproduced posters? See, folks don't care if it's a copy. They just want art that touches them.

Jehovah's Witness #1: We have something to share with you about the wonderful things that God's kingdom will do for mankind.
Margaret Keane: Well, from where I'm standing, I don't see much good anywhere. Just a lot of pride and thievery and people treating each other poorly.
Jehovah's Witness #1: Do you know what it says in Timothy 3:1-5? "In the last days, critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves."
Margaret Keane: Sounds like my ex-husband.

[last lines]
Dick Nolan: [narrating] Two things mattered to Margaret: Her daughter and her paintings. And after all the crazy turns the story took, she came out at the end with both of them.

Closing Title Card: Walter never accepted defeat, insisting he was the true artist for the rest of his life. He died in 2000, bitter and penniless. He never produced another painting.
Closing Title Card: Margaret found personal happiness and remarried. After many years in Hawaii, she moved back to San Francisco and opened a new gallery. She still paints every day.

Margaret Keane: I think people buy art because it touches them.
Walter Keane: Yeah, you're living in fairyland. People don't get to discover anything. They buy art because it's in the right place at the right time.

Walter Keane: For God's sake, you've seen me paint!
Margaret Keane: No, I haven't. I always thought that I had, but it's like a mirage. It's like a mirage. From a distance, you look like a painter, but up close, there's not much there.

Title Card: I think that what Keane has done is just terrific. It has to be good. If it were bad, so many people wouldn't like it. - Andy Warhol

Walter Keane: What are you afraid of! Just because people like my work, that means automatically it's bad?
John Canaday: No, but it doesn't make it art either. Art should elevate, not pander. Particularly in a Hall of Education.
Walter Keane: You have no idea! Why does someone become a critic? Because he cannot create!
John Canaday: Oh, dear. That moldy chestnut.
Walter Keane: Don't interrupt! You don't know what it's like to put your emotions out there, naked for the whole world to see!
John Canaday: What emotions? It's synthetic hack work. Your masterpiece has an infinity of Keanes, which makes it an infinity of kitsch.

[first lines]
Dick Nolan: [narrating] The '50s were a grand time, if you were a man. I'm Dick Nolan. I make things up for a living - I'm a reporter.
[Margaret frantically packing things]
Dick Nolan: It's the strangest goddamn story that I ever covered. It started the day that Margaret Ulbrich walked out on her suffocating husband, long before it became the fashionable thing to do.
Margaret Keane: Come on, Janie.
[they get into the car]

Walter Keane: What is wrong with the lowest common denominator? Huh? That's what this country was built on! I'm gonna sue everybody.

Dee-Ann: Stop that. You're better off. Between us, I never liked Frank.
Margaret Keane: You were a bridesmaid.
Dee-Ann: Exactly. That's why I couldn't say anything, but if I see you wrong off again, I will tell you.

Walter Keane: You have an amazing talent. You can look at someone and capture them on canvas. You can paint people. I can only paint things. Yeah, my street scenes are... charming, but at the end of the day, they're just a collection of buildings and sidewalks.
