: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.
:56:04
"Have to work by myself for a while."
:56:06
No offense meant, but you'll be better off
without him around your neck.
:56:10
I think I'm the best judge of that.
:56:12
No, the worst.
You've been pushing his paintings.
:56:14
And every time you do that,
we lose a customer.
:56:17
As your employer,
I tell you for your own good...
:56:19
your love for Vincent has blinded
your judgment. It's affected your work.
:56:22
Please don't let's wrangle again
about that.
:56:24
I'll fight for every good painter
who deserves to be recognized...
:56:27
and Vincent is one of them.
He could be the best of them.
:56:30
What? Well, you're his brother.
:56:33
- You're emotional about him.
- That has nothing to do with it.
:56:36
What is it when you brood about him?
When you agonize over his every failure?
:56:40
When you support him
to the point of denying yourself?
:56:43
You've saved every letter he wrote
as though it were Holy Scripture.
:56:47
Come now, Theo. Don't you really think
you've done enough for him?
:56:52
How much is enough...
:56:55
for a man who's struggling with himself
the way Vincent is?
:56:58
I know he's crude, quarrelsome,
and excitable...
