Lust for Life evaluation action

Theo Van Gogh: Vincent, I've just spoken with Dr. Rey. He says you're doing very well, and quite soon you'll be able to travel. Johanna and I want you to...
Vincent Van Gogh: Theo, I want to have myself committed. I'm going to go to an asylum.
Theo Van Gogh: What?
Vincent Van Gogh: I have to, Theo. More of these attacks could leave me helpless, like a crab on its back, unable even to do away with myself.
Theo Van Gogh: Vincent, come live with us in Paris. You could have a reasonable life. You'll see that none of this ever happens again.
Vincent Van Gogh: How, Theo? Will you and Johanna take turns watching me? Make sure the symptoms aren't coming back? When your baby's born... I'm a danger to others. I'm a danger to myself. Believe me, I'll be better off in an asylum.
Theo Van Gogh: Vincent, please, you mustn't think like that.

Vincent Van Gogh: I don't care to be respected! I'm trying to live like a *true* Christian. I'm not going to worry about how I sleep. Look at the fresh graves of the children in the cemetery. Scrub floors and pick coal with the women. Get those fine clothes dirty with the blood and sweat of dying miners. Then come here and lecture me about Christianity! Hypocrites. Hypocrites!
