Woman: My daughter can paint like that.

Gertrude Stein: I look nothing like the person in this painting.
Picasso: No, but you will.

Scene: Picasso's apartment in Nazi-occupied Paris during an unwelcome visit from the Gestapo. An officer notices a picture of Guernica (Picasso's depiction of the destruction of the Basque capital by German planes during the Spanish Civil War) on a table.

Gestapo Officer: Did you do that?
Picasso: No. You did.
