Robert Ryan: Scott
Quotes
-
Scott : You know, when they let me out of the hospital, they said Lieutenant your wounds are all healed - you're sound in body and mind. But, my head is - ! Well, let's face it, I'm not well!
-
Scott : [Admiring the paintings] These must be worth a fortune now that you're...
[Scott hesitates to say 'blind.']
Tod : Since you're convinced I'm blind, go ahead... say it, but you're right. Now that I can't paint anymore, this stuff of mine gets more valuable every day. There's an old saying in my trade: a man never gets rich until he's dead. I assure you a blind painter's just the same as a dead man.

Scott : You know, you people are all trying to take care of me, but nobody tries to understand what - Well, you think I'm sick? That's it, isn't it?
-
Tod : You know, I never really started to paint well until just before the lights went out. But, I think this is one of my best. There's something about the effects of the hair and the skin texture. Of course, nudes were never my strong suit; but, here I had a particularly beautiful subject. As you can see, this is a portrait of Peggy.
Scott : Why, excuse me Tod, I-I think you have the wrong painting. This is a picture of some roses and a newspaper.
