Maria Altmann: If I'm going back, I might as well do it in style.
Gustav Bloch-Bauer: And now... as you go... I ask you only one thing... my liebling.
Young Maria Altmann: What is it, papa?
Gustav Bloch-Bauer: Remember us.
Maria Altmann: When people see the famous portrait, they see a masterpiece by one of Austria's finest artist. But, I see a picture of my Aunt. A woman who talked to me about life, while I brushed her hair in her bedroom.
Maria Altmann: My sister finally moves in with me. The problem is, she finally decides to do it when she's dead.
Randol Schoenberg: We recommend opening the can and exacting the little worm with a pair of tweezers and shutting the can as quickly as possible.
Maria Altmann: I don't know if I have the strength to deal with these people, and I've only been here a day.
Randol Schoenberg: It's hard to believe Hitler once applied to be an art student here.
Maria Altmann: I wish they'd have accepted him.
Maria Altmann: Restitution-the return of something to its original state... At the very least, we should be reunited with what is rightfully ours.
Woman in Crowd: I would like to return to my original state.
Maria Altmann: They'll never admit to what they did, because if they admit to one thing, they'll have to admit to it all.
Maria Altmann: A week ago you weren't even interested and now you're all over me like a rash. What happened?
Randol Schoenberg: Well, against my better judgment, I think I like you.
Hubertus Czernin: It wasn't enough to rob your family and destroy it. No, your family had to be eradicated.
Hubertus Czernin: She is the Mona Lisa of Austria-you think they will just let her go?
Randol Schoenberg: You could buy a new bungalow... buy anything you want.
Maria Altmann: I'd like a new dishwasher.
Maria Altmann: We didn't come here to eat cake.
Maria Altmann: My sister, Louise-I truly loved her, but truth is, we were always competitive. If life is a race, you beat me to the finish. But if life is a boxing match, I'm the last one standing.
Maria Altmann: We did everything we could and that's what matters. The past is the past and now we must let it go.
Maria Altmann: I have decided to allow the paintings to remain on display... if you agree to admit they were obtained illegally.
Adele Bloch Bauer: I see you Maria. Come closer. Why don't you help your aunt? Put on my favorite necklace. Your little fingers are perfect for th job. One day, you'll have to stop being so timid. Life will demand it of you. Your only enemy is fear.
Maria Altmann: Randy, can't you drive a little faster. Look, the chocolate on your donut is melting.
Randol Schoenberg: It's almost press time, how do I look?
Maria Altmann: Sexy and victorious.
Randol Schoenberg: Oh yeah?
Maria Altmann: How do I look?
Randol Schoenberg: You look sexy - and victorious.
