:49:00
Once you accept the phenomenon of
the duration of light in the human retina...

:49:04
Excuse me. But this is a sunlit exterior.
:49:06
Now, why do you paint it indoors
by gaslight?

:49:09
- I mean, how can you judge your colors?
- Why not?

:49:12
Come on, Seurat,
put him out of his misery.

:49:15
- I've tried, but he's still in darkness.
- All right, Bernard. Come here.

:49:20
Everything I do is worked out in advance...
:49:24
with mathematical accuracy,
through precise scientific methods.

:49:27
I know exactly
what colors I'm going to use...

:49:30
before I pick up my brushes.
:49:31
And my palette is methodically prepared
in the order of the spectrum.

:49:35
As you see, blue, blue-violet,
violet, violet-red...

:49:38
red, red-orange, orange-yellow...
:50:07
Theo.
:50:12
- Can't it wait till morning?
- No, please, I need your help.

:50:15
Here.
:50:19
- What is it this time?
- Look at this.

:50:26
Yes, it's coming along.
:50:29
It's got a very good sense of light.
:50:33
- What's the matter? You look terrible.
- Will you be able to sell it?

:50:39
I'll try.
:50:42
It's hard to sell any of the new painters,
even the ones with some sort of name.

:50:46
You know how Goupil's begrudges me...
:50:47
the little space I can get for them
in the back room.

:50:50
Then why don't you leave Goupil's?
Set up for yourself.

:50:52
- Why waste time with idiots like that?
- Vincent, don't tell me how to run my life!

:50:57
It's taken me a long time
to get where I am.

:50:59
It may not be ideal, but, to me,
what I'm doing seems worthwhile.
