Quotes

Vincent Van Gogh : [Explaining how he sees the world] Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact deep blue. And over there: lighter blue and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars!
[the sky gradually transforms into van Gogh's painting Starry Night]
Vincent Van Gogh : And you see how they roar their light. Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.
-
Vincent Van Gogh : It seems to me there's so much more to the world than the average eye is allowed to see. I believe, if you look hard, there are more wonders in this universe than you could ever have dreamt of.
The Doctor : You don't have to tell me
-
Vincent Van Gogh : [after seeing the TARDIS interior] How come I'm the crazy one, and you two have stayed both sane?
-
The Doctor : I'm going in!
Vincent Van Gogh : I'm coming too.
The Doctor : No! You're Vincent Van Gogh. No.
Vincent Van Gogh : But you're not armed!
The Doctor : I am.
Vincent Van Gogh : What with?
The Doctor : Overconfidence, this
[pats bag]
The Doctor : and a small screwdriver. I'm absolutely sorted. I just have to find the right prozactic setting and stun him with it. Sonic never fails.

[Amy, Vincent, and the Doctor walk to the church where Vincent will have had painted the Krafayis. Amy and Vincent talk while the Doctor listens, following behind]
Amy Pond : I'm sorry you're so sad.
Vincent Van Gogh : But I'm not. Sometimes these moods torture me for weeks, for months, but I'm good now. If Amy Pond can soldier on then so can Vincent Van Gogh.
Amy Pond : I'm not soldiering on, I'm fine.
[Amy giggles]
Vincent Van Gogh : Oh, Amy, I hear the song of your sadness. You've lost someone, I think.
[the Doctor silently notes this insight from behind]
Amy Pond : I'm not sad.
Vincent Van Gogh : [looking away] Then why are you crying?
[Amy reaches up to her right cheek and is surprised to find a tear there]
Vincent Van Gogh : It's all right, I understand.
Amy Pond : I'm not sure I do.
[the Doctor does and steals away their conversation]
The Doctor : Okay. Okay! So, now, we must have a plan. When the creature returns...
Vincent Van Gogh : [slowly turns as the Doctor speaks and interrupts, firmly] Then we shall fight him again!
-
The Doctor : Amy, only one thought, one simple instruction: don't follow me under any circumstances.
[Runs off]
Amy Pond : I won't.
Vincent Van Gogh : Will you follow him?
Amy Pond : Of course.
Vincent Van Gogh : I love you.
-
The Doctor : Come on, we'd better get you home.
Vincent Van Gogh : Where are you staying tonight?
The Doctor : Oh! You're very kind.

Vincent Van Gogh : [of the TARDIS console] What do these things all do?
The Doctor : Oh, a huge variety of things. Uh, this one here, for instance, plays soothing music.
[music plays and the Doctor and Amy dance]
The Doctor : Uh, while this one makes a huge amount of noise?
Amy Pond : [nods, whispers] Yeah.
[pulls the control and a noise is produced]
The Doctor : And this one makes everything go absolutely tonto.
[the console room shakes as the TARDIS takes off, throwing Vincent off balance, and they laugh]
Vincent Van Gogh : [reaching for a control] And this one?
The Doctor : [alarmed] That's the friction contrafibulator!
Vincent Van Gogh : [gesturing to another] And, this?
The Doctor : [pointing out red light] That's ketchup, and that one's mustard.
[Amy does presentator-hands gesture at a tall mustard-yellow button]
