Sutherland: It’s art. It’s not personal.
Churchill: Well, you are a lost soul. A narcissist without direction or certainty.
Sutherland: Please, sir. Don’t overreact. Give it time. I showed those sketches to your wife throughout. She remarked on how accurate they were.
Churchill: That is the whole point. It is not a reasonably truthful image of me!
Sutherland: It is, sir.
Churchill: It is not! It is cruel!
Sutherland: Age is cruel! If you see decay, it’s because there’s decay. If you see frailty, it’s because there’s frailty. I can’t be blamed for what is. And I refuse to hide and disguise what I see. If you’re engaged in a fight with something, then it’s not with me. It’s with your own blindness.

Mrs Churchill: Oh, and it’s going to be Graham Sutherland.
Churchill: Who?
Mrs Churchill: The painter. – To paint your portrait.
Churchill: What portrait?
Mrs Churchill: It’s the official portrait commissioned by both Houses. It’s your present.
Churchill: Sutherland? Never heard of him.
Mrs Churchill: He’s got quite the reputation. He’s a modernist.
Churchill: Oh. Not sure I can trust a modernist with an English name. Give me a German modernist. Or an Italian. They’re the ones who have to start all over again. Whatever would an Englishman want to change?
