Oh, uh, we decided that this
would just be Walter's show.

Oh, "we" did? Why would "we" do that?

Because Walter is more established.

He's only noteworthy for his appearances
in a certain newspaper's gossip columns.

Maybe, uh... she'd like one
of your street scenes.

they called me... well,
they couldn't pronounce it properly,

- Go! What do I pay you for?
- Yes, Mr. Keane.

and support myself and my daughter.

1175
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:45,946
And he said that nobody would buy
the paintings without his personality.

1176
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,502
Maybe he was right.

1177
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:55,070
You are... very talented
at being charming.

1178
01:30:56,440 --> 01:31:00,500
And you are a genius
at sales and promotion.

1179
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:05,740
Hm! It sounds like you've
described two different men.

1180
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:06,980
Hmm.

1181
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,620
One a sadistic ogre,

1182
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:13,540
and the other one
a delightful bon vivant.

1183
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,540
Well, that's you, Walter.
You're Jekyll and Hyde.

1184
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,340
That's an outrageous statement!

1185
01:31:19,440 --> 01:31:21,980
- I demand we strike it off the record!
- Overruled!

1186
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,620
No, you were outrageous,

1187
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,020
constantly criticizing me,
wearing me down,

1188
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,500
saying that you would have me
knocked off if I told the truth.

1189
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,589
- Well, I am telling the truth.
- Your Honor!

1190
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,420
- I ask for mistrial.
- You're a liar!

1191
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:38,700
You don't even know what the truth is!

1192
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:42,900
You don't even know I'm saying the truth
now, and you cannot shut me up!

1193
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:47,020
Hey, hey, hey!
This is not a domestic squabble!

1194
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:48,460
Or maybe it is.

1195
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,710
But the rest of us have no interest
in watching you two go at it.

1196
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,904
I'm sorry for my emotion.

1197
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:01,830
I'm an artist.

1198
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:04,860
Maybe.

1199
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:09,980
Your Honor, I call as my witness

1200
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:14,185
Mr. Walter Stanley Keane.

1201
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:21,860
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,

1202
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:23,020
- and nothing but the truth...
- Yes.

1203
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,541
- ...so help you God?
- Yes.

1204
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,780
Mr. Keane, there seems
to be a lot of innuendo

1205
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:42,900
and contradictory testimony
about the genesis of the big-eyed waifs.

1206
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,660
Would you mind clarifying to this court

1207
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,750
who spawned these paintings?

1208
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,031
Why, I created these children.

1209
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:01,065
(GAVEL BANGS)

1210
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:04,190
The choreography is not necessary.
Just sit down and testify.

1211
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,460
I had a wonderful life.

1212
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,460
I was an artist,

1213
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,860
a friend of untold celebrities.

1214
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:24,030
Yet, when I look back at it all,

1215
01:33:24,480 --> 01:33:27,060
to define what really mattered,

1216
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:31,902
it was that I was dedicated
to the hungry children of the world.

1217
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,620
It all began in... in Berlin.

1218
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:39,820
After World War II.

1219
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,380
The orphans...

1220
01:33:42,480 --> 01:33:44,900
clutching the barbed wire.

1221
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:49,060
Their bodies lacerated.

1222
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:51,220
Their fingers scrawny,

1223
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:53,741
their eyes big.

1224
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:59,900
- Miss Joan Crawford walked up...
- Mr. Keane. Sit down.

1225
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:01,980
Marilyn Monroe...

1226
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:03,940
Wayne Newton and I...

1227
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:06,740
Jerry Lewis calls me and says,
"I want you to paint me

1228
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:08,500
and my family in clown suits."

1229
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:13,180
Miss Natalie Wood walked up to me
and said,

1230
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:17,020
"This is the greatest single painting

1231
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,740
I've ever seen in my entire life!"

1232
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,940
- You're done!
- I'm not finished.

1233
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:23,220
Actually, you are.

1234
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:26,260
I cannot stomach one more wild tangent
or shaggy dog tale.

1235
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,340
You're not testifying,
you're filibustering.

1236
01:34:28,440 --> 01:34:29,980
Federal courts are overburdened enough

1237
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:32,180
without all your
docket-clogging nonsense.

1238
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,220
We can stay here
until we grow old and die,

1239
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:36,980
but it's obvious that
this case boils down

1240
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,540
to your word versus Mrs. Keane's word.

1241
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,903
- Mistrial.
- No, it's not a mistrial!

1242
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:48,628
In my opinion, there's only one way
to clear this thing up.

1243
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:51,862
You're both going to paint.

1244
01:34:54,480 --> 01:34:58,710
All right, bring those easels down,
set them up on both sides of the bench.

1245
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:15,260
Now, I'm not looking for a masterpiece.
I don't know much about these things.

1246
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:19,380
I'm a jurist, not an art critic.
But is one hour enough?

1247
01:35:19,480 --> 01:35:21,230
Yes, Your Honor.

1248
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:29,300
Okay, then. You've both been provided
with identical supplies.

1249
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:34,028
So, without any further business,
Mrs. Keane, Mr. Keane, the court is yours.

1250
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:42,306
Mr. Keane?

1251
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,110
I'm just setting the mood.

1252
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,544
Waiting for the muse to strike.

1253
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:55,226
Well, your muse has 58 minutes.

1254
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:23,380
(INHALES)

1255
01:37:23,480 --> 01:37:24,900
Ah!

1256
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,220
Mr. Keane? Are you all right?

1257
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:29,700
Oh, shit.

1258
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:33,020
(EXHALES) My old shoulder injury
just flared up.

1259
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:35,940
I have, um, um... bad muscles.

1260
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:40,623
It's... I've been taking medication
for the inflammation.

1261
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:42,945
So...

1262
01:37:45,440 --> 01:37:46,541
(GASPS)

1263
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:59,028
I don't think I'll
be able to paint today.

1264
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,060
The jury found in favor
of Margaret Keane on all points.

1265
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,260
She won on charges of defamation,
emotional distress,

1266
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,060
and damaged reputation.

1267
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:27,100
- MAN: Congratulations!
- WOMAN: Congratulations, Margaret!

1268
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:30,900
- Thank you, thank you very much.
- WOMAN: Congratulations!

1269
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:32,750
Margaret, what are you going
to call the painting?

1270
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:37,949
- Uh... Exhibit 224.
- (LAUGHTER)

1271
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,149
Margaret, can I possibly
have your autograph?

1272
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:47,100
DICK: Two things mattered to Margaret:
her daughter and her paintings.

1273
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,980
And after all the crazy turns
the story took,

1274
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:53,104
she came out at the end
with both of them.

1275
