Quotes 

• Christine : Vincent, I won't be there when you get back.

  Christine : You'll forget about us once you get home. It won't be hard.

  Vincent Van Gogh : Where will you go? How will you live?

• Vincent Van Gogh : You all right?

  Christine : I'm sick. I'm tired. Just leave me alone. Everything's rotten. Now I understand why people drown themselves.

  Vincent Van Gogh : Don't say things like that.

  Christine : Why not?

  Vincent Van Gogh : Suicide's a terrible thing.

  Christine : What do you know about it?

• Christine : Got any oil or butter in this cockroach trap?

• Christine : I'm a laundress, when I have the strength to scrub. And when I haven't, I look for easier work.
