Vincent quotes from Beauty and the Beast

I would do anything

Vincent

Then face her. That is what she needs. If that is the only thing that you can do for her, then do it.

It won't do any good.

Vincent

It will give her someone to blame and then? It would give her someone to forgive.

She is never going to forgive me.

Vincent

You've never given her that chance. You think there is nothing you can do for this woman, but there is so much you can do for this woman. You can change her life.

What do I say to her?

I'm not asleep.

Vincent

No?

Mmm...Just in that wonderful place in between.

Vincent

Where everything shimmers and floats.

Am I floating?

Vincent

Yes...A great burden has been lifted.

They both seem finally free. Now maybe the healing can begin.

Vincent

Rest now.

As long as you keep reading.

Who are they?

Vincent

We don't know. Perhaps a family.

Maybe I could do something.

Vincent

No. You must stay away from the tunnels until the danger is past.

What does Father say?

Vincent

He struggles to remain optimistic. I think he still believes these people can be moved by good will and reason.

But you don't think so?

Vincent

No.

You think you know how it will end?

Vincent

We are so vulnerable.

Then let me try to help

Vincent

No! You must stay away from it.

That world, those tunnels are part of my life, too...and so are you.

Vincent

If the worst should happen, you mustn't be anywhere near.

If the worst happens, I want to be by your side, with you.

Vincent

No! Not like that! Never again!

Vincent, wait!

Vincent

You will let me go out to do what must be done? Whatever must be done?

FFather

I pray that won't be necessary.

Vincent

So do I.

FFather

That is not who you are to us.

Vincent

That is who I am...perhaps even my fate. The very part of me that I struggle to overcome gives me the power to protect the people who protect me-who give me life.

FFather

Vincent, that is not your fate.

Vincent

My survival depends on this world. There is no other choice for me. For me there is no other place, Father.

William

This is cowardice!

Vincent

There is no shame in making sacrifices for something you believe in strongly, William.

William

I believe in the children. I believe in the life we have built here.

Mary

So do we.

William

And yet you'd see it destroyed? Changed without a fight?

Vincent

No one will ever destroy this place.

Vincent

I'm here. Always.

Always. Such a father's word, always.

Vincent

What is it? What are you thinking?

Something he did when I was little. He made me laugh, that's all. Whenever I was upset he'd make me laugh. He'd come to the door and I would be...crying on the bed. Already a part of me would start to smile. I would try not to, but I couldn't help it. And he would say in this deep voice, "Don't laugh...Don't laugh." And he would come in and I would try not to look, but I would look anyway...And there he was, with this enormous red clown's nose. I don't even know where he got it.

Vincent

That is a wonderful memory to have.

I wish we'd stayed that close.

Vincent

You've told me before of the growing distance between you.

We got in a...habit. There were things I didn't want to tell him.

Vincent

And...there were things you couldn't tell him...Catherine...There's still time.

[to her father] You see...I haven't been alone. There's been someone in my life. His name is Vincent...When I had the accident, it was Vincent who saved my life. Those days that I was missing, they weren't lost or forgotten. I was with him. Healing. Learning things about myself I might never have known. But Vincent was a secret I couldn't share...not even with you.

Vincent

[to Catherine's father] I realize that to you I am a stranger, and that was not your choice. But what Catherine and I share has taken great courage, especially for Catherine. She sacrificed much in order to live a life of generosity and of love.

Daddy, I've gotten so much back. I had to change. I had to find my own strength and Vincent has helped me to do that.

Vincent

[to Catherine's father] Please know this...That I will protect Catherine, watch over her, and love her...until my last breath.

I'm losing myself! I can't go back there.

Vincent

Catherine ...

There's nothing for me there. I tried. That life isn't mine anymore.

Vincent

Give yourself time to mourn.

Vincent, I need to be with you. I need you...I need you!

Vincent

Come.

Vincent

So sudden a loss.. you had no time to prepare.

The pain goes through me and then subsides.

Vincent

I can feel it in you.

I know you can.

But it wasn't like a dream...he was there talking to me.

Vincent

Giving you his blessing.

He understood about our secret. He understood everything. I could feel his trust. Whatever I do now is ok.

Vincent

You found peace with him but not yet with yourself.

I'm not sure.

Vincent

Don't ever be afraid of the truth.

I don't want to hurt you. I don't ever want to disappoint you.

Vincent

By returning Above?

I feel like I failed.

Vincent

Catherine...every moment that we share is a triumph and a gift. And everyone of those moments is a lifetime complete. There is no failure. It doesn't mean our dream can never be. It just means now is not the right time. You came here to grieve, and begin to heal. But now your destiny is to be in both worlds. You are a woman of both worlds. That is who you are.

[about Lisa] Did she leave the tunnels in order to dance?

Vincent

That is not why she left...though it may have been the reason at the time.
