Big Eyes Page #4
MAN'S VOICE
Monet? "Monet"?! Whew -- that's a
hell of a compliment. Though, if I
may respectfully disagree, I'm more in
the tradition of Pissarro.
Margaret looks up, distracted. She resumes her work.
MAN'S VOICE
C'mon, get closer. Closer! Look at
that sunlight coming through the
mottled leaves. That's a bold yellow!
Curious, Margaret casually peers over...
HER POV:
Holding court in another booth is WALTER KEANE, 40. Walter is
astonishing:
Hugely confident. Charming. Waggishlyhandsome. And dressed like an "Artist" -- striped turtleneck,
with hands full of brushes.
Walter's stall is filled with oils of Paris street scenes. He
casually flirts with TWO YOUNG COEDS. They admire a painting.
WALTER:
You wanna touch it? Do it! I lay it
on thick -- you're not gonna break it!
(UNWAVERING)
I poured myself into that painting.
It's thirty-five dollars.
7.
Walter glances over -- and notices Margaret watching him.
Shy, she quickly turns away, back to her portrait.
Walter smiles rakishly. He's found a new interest.
WALTER:
Excuse me, Ladies.
WIDE:
Walter strides up to Margaret. She peers nervously... trying
to ignore him. She sketches faster. Shading...
Walter watches. Admiring... and discreetly smelling her hair.
Margaret pays no attention. Done, she blows into a can of Fix-
It. Poosh! A fine mist sprays, setting the portrait.
Without fanfare, she humbly turns the picture.
MARGARET:
All finished.
Her customers gape, impressed. She smiles. The guy counts
out four quarters, then happily leaves.
MARGARET AND WALTER
are left together. An unspoken frisson, until --
WALTER:
You're better than spare change. You
shouldn't sell yourself so cheap.
MARGARET:
I'm just glad they liked it.
WALTER:
Ahhh! You're past that point! Your
heart is in your work...
