Vincent quotes from Beauty and the Beast

Lisa

You know Father hates me.

Vincent

Father does not hate you.

Lisa

He hates me. Then why does he insult me with his politeness? He blames me.

Vincent

Perhaps a part of him does.

Lisa

Well, let's not talk about it.

Vincent

Nothing has changed since you sent her away.

I didn't send her away

Vincent

You did!

No!

Vincent

How can you deny it?!?!

For God's sake, don't you understand?!?! I was trying to protect you.

Vincent

Protect me?

From her...from disappointment...I watched yougrowing up beside Lisa,watched you growing closer together. Knowing that one day she would leave the tunnels...and you.

I've...I've tried to be fair, Vincent, in...in raising all of you. I made choices that had to be made...Though I don't know anymore which was right and which was wrong. All I do know, Vincent, is that they were made with love.

Vincent

And it is that love that I make the choices I must, now.

Vincent

Because I hurt her...because in my desire I forgot who I was. Who I am. As she moved closer, I wanted to hold her. She was dancing, and...and I felt a pull. It was pulling me to her, and I reached out for her. Suddenly, in her eyes, I saw fear of me. I saw myself. But I couldn't let go of her...And I knew these hands were not meant to give love.

Catherine

These hands are beautiful. These are my hands.

Vincent

Hmmm.

Catherine

Why are you smiling?

Vincent

Kristopher worked in oils.

Catherine

Yes.

Vincent

Oils take months to dry completely, Catherine. Sometimes years. This canvas...

Catherine

Don't say it. I have to hold on to some of my certainties, don't I?

Catherine

Two years ago, tonight...

Vincent

[Looking through the door at the candles]

Catherine

I thought maybe we could go inside...light a fire. It's warm...

Vincent, someone has seen you! If you go to her, he'll see you again!

Vincent

How can I leave her alone? She must be protected!

Is she is in danger, we'll find a way to protect her. There are other ways.

Vincent

This is Catherine. I must protect her.

Of course. And what is she doing to find this man?

Vincent

All she can, but she's alone in this. She refuses to seek help. She's afraid for me, for our secret.

And he probably knows that.

Vincent

And will use it to torment her.

Vincent

Did he contact you?

Catherine

[nods] He sent me flowers.

Vincent

There's more than just flowers.

Catherine

He knows about you...about us...and until we find out what he wants-

Vincent

He wants you, Catherine.

Catherine

Vincent, you have to stay away.

Vincent

I feel your fear. How do I leave you alone with that?

Catherine

Because I can handle fear. But if something happened to you...

Vincent

Come below tonight.

Catherine

I can't. I can't let him do that to me. I can't. We're alone in this.

Vincent

Oh, Catherine...

Catherine

I love you.

Catherine

Someone else could be watching.

Vincent

Perhaps.

Catherine

We can't be afraid, can we? We can't let that stop us.

Vincent

This balcony is our window...our vantage point. And, perhaps, Catherine, someone, behind one of those lights, is watching and smiling on us.

Catherine

Perhaps they are.

Vincent

How do you feel now? You still afraid?

Catherine

No. Just very grateful.

Vincent

We've endured...much.

Catherine

Yes we have. And I know, in the deepest part of who I am, that whatever happens now, Vincent, we will endure. We will.

Vincent

Catherine, I don't know what will happen now.

Catherine

You must promise me one thing; that you'll share it with me. Whatever happens, whatever comes.

Vincent

Whatever happens, whatever comes...know that I love you.
