:54:01
Glad to know you. It's honest.
:54:04
It owes nothing to anybody. Nothing.
:54:07
Because it has nothing.
No tone, no values...
:54:10
- No color relations.
- Sense of space.
:54:12
The little men are at it again.
My friend, will you join me in a drink?
:54:15
- What about the 112 francs?
- Lady, go back to your kitchen.
:54:19
Get back.
:54:21
You see, down there the sun invades you,
gets into your blood.
:54:25
Not that Martinique was a paradise.
:54:27
Between hunger and fever,
I was lucky to get out alive.
:54:31
But if I could, I'd go back there tomorrow.
:54:35
- How long you been in Paris?
- Over a year.
:54:38
How can you stand it?
I can't work here. It strangles me.
:54:41
- Where would you go?
- Brittany.
:54:43
There's a place up there I can stay.
It's just a hole, but it's all I can afford.
:54:47
Wouldn't you miss your friends in Paris?
:54:49
Friends? A woman or two, maybe.
:54:53
When you start as late as I did,
you find yourself measuring...
:54:56
who and what you give your time to.
:54:58
Friends, comforts, family.
:55:02
If they interfere with your peace to work,
you cut them off...
:55:06
and you spend the rest of your life
wondering if it was worthwhile.
:55:12
If they're mad enough
to buy Impressionist paintings...
:55:15
it only proves that they're savages.
:55:20
I haven't seen the place looking so neat
since Vincent came to stay here.
:55:23
What got into him, cleaning it up like this?
:55:28
I do hope he's out.
:55:30
Never would get any business done
if he's in.
:55:37
What is it?
:55:40
It's from Vincent.
:55:42
"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you,
and endlessly...
:55:45
"grateful for all your kindness.
:55:47
"I've hung a few paintings
to remind you of me."
:55:49
- He's gone?
- He's on his way south to Arles, Provence.
:55:54
"I've thought it over
these past few weeks...
:55:56
"and decided the time has come
to make a change.
:55:59
"I want to see nature under a clearer sky.
