Van Gogh: You're so kind, Courbet. You always take care of everyone.
Courbet: I'm not kind. I just have to take care of everyone because there's something wrong with the people around me.
Courbet: Are you painting for the exhibition? … Not bad, but I'll take the gold award.
Van Gogh: You really put a lot of effort into this picture this time, Courbet. I'll try my best in my own way, too!
Van Gogh: Hey, Courbet! Let's do a special exhibition called "Exhibition to Make Everyone Smile"!
Courbet: Dismissed, face the facts, how would you do that?
Van Gogh: If you work hard, you can do it! Let's make you smile too!
Courbet: Why are you so prone to dreams? Geez…!
Van Gogh: I have Kuroda-san's class in the afternoon! I'm looking forward to today!
Courbet: The fact that you can look forward to that man's guidance so much is a gift…
["Time of Day" conversation - daytime]
Van Gogh: Many things happened... but they're all precious memories.
Courbet: ... Yeah. We faced ourselves, and each of us grew.
Van Gogh: Yup. I'm sure we'll get through whatever comes next!
Courbet: Heh… Right. There's nothing to fear for us now.
["Parade" conversation]
Van Gogh: Hey, Courbet! Someday we'll be in the Royal Parade together!
Courbet: Hm, someday, maybe. Determine a specific target period of time.
Van Gogh: Huh… Yeah! … Hahaha, you're somehow more determined than I am.
Courbet: Whatever… I just didn't think it was unrealistic.

Van Gogh: How is it that you're always so calm, Da Vinci?
Da Vinci: Well... Maybe it is because I know there is nothing to be gained by making a fuss.
Da Vinci: Did you have a good time running around so energetically?
Van Gogh: Yup! Listen to me, listen!
Van Gogh: Da Vinci! Look, I made a new one!
Da Vinci: It is amazing. It seems to show that you did your best.
Van Gogh: Yeah, I had a haard time getting the right color here!
Da Vinci: It certainly is quite elaborate. Now if you could just fix this area, it would be perfect.
Van Gogh: Okay! I think I can paint a different picture here!
Da Vinci: Fufu, a change of scenery can bring new ideas.

Van Gogh: What are you always doing in town, Renoir-san?
Renoir: Fufu, do you want to hear about it? I think it might be a little too much for you, Van Gogh…
Renoir: You're always in high spirits, Van Gogh. Aren't you tired of being so excited?
Van Gogh: Not at all! I enjoy painting every day!
Van Gogh: Hey Renoir-san, do people absolutely have to sleep?
Renoir: ? Well, I think it's okay if you don't get some sleep, isn't it? Maybe so.
Van Gogh: That's right! Well then, I'll keep working hard all night long today!
Renoir: Fufu, just kidding. If you don't get a good night's sleep, the young lady will be worried, you know?
Van Gogh: Renoir-san, are you free after this? I was wondering if you could give me some advice on my painting.
Renoir: You don't need my advice. Your paintings are good enough.

Rembrandt: Hahaha, thaaanks~ All I can do is laugh.
Rembrandt: There's a deeeeep story behind your love for sunflowers, isn't there, Van Gogh-kun?~
Van Gogh: Yeah, that's right! Sunflowers gave me a lot of light when I was depressed!
Rembrandt: Van Gogh-kun. Why have you been staring at me all this time?
Van Gogh: I feel some kind of familiarity with you! Your pictures are also my favorite.
Rembrandt: If that's the case, keep looking. In return, tell me your story.
Van Gogh: Okay! What shall we talk about theeen?

Van Gogh: Michelangelo, would you like to go outside to paint?
Michelangelo: … Why are you inviting me? You should talk to someone who would feel more comfortable outside.
Michelangelo: … I'm not interested in people with feeble bodies.
Van Gogh: I see! So if I put on some muscle, we'll get along even better!
Michelangelo: … Why are you so positive, Van Gogh?
Van Gogh: Huh…? It's better to be cheerful and have fun, right?
Michelangelo: It ain't better. It's just tiring to be needlessly cheerful.

Van Gogh: Uh… HUUUUH!? F-F-For me to teach you, no way…!
Van Gogh: Amazing! The country that you depict is the one where the sun never sets!
Hokusai: Uh? Ah, maybe it looks that way in pictures.
Van Gogh: That's nice, I'd love to go there someday!
Hokusai: It doesn't feel so bad to hear ya say so! I'll take ya there one day.
Van Gogh: Hokusai-san, it's time for dinner! Why are you trying to go outside?
Hokusai: Huuh? What, I thought the "kitchen"¹ was over there.
["Time of Day" conversation - night]
¹: Hokusai says a lot of foreign words in hiragana instead of katakana, which is why I'm using quotation marks when he does that.

Van Gogh: Come to think of it, why do you like the ocean and sandy beaches that much, Gauguin?
Gauguin: ... Maybe because I want to return to the sea and disappear from civilized society…
Gauguin: I can see... Beautiful sandy beaches and crystal clear waters... The world of nature is calling me.
Van Gogh: Aaah! Gauguin has left for his imaginary world again!
Gauguin: … Van Gogh, you're writing to your brother again…? As expected, there are too many sheets…
Van Gogh: Yup! Because I have so many things to tell him!
Gauguin: … If there are too many, he'll have a hard time reading it. If it's a brief story, I'll listen to it.
Van Gogh: I seeee… Then maybe I'll make you listen to it later, Gauguin!
Van Gogh: What's for breakfast today!? Let's go to the kitchen right away!
Gauguin: No, I'm good... My stomach's been upset since last night... Ugh.
["Time of Day" conversation - morning]
Gauguin: I'm tired today too… I don't even have the strength left to chew my dinner anymore…
Van Gogh: Aah! No, Gauguin, don't eat all the marshmallows just because they're easier to chew!
["Time of Day" conversation - night]
Van Gogh: How was the parade? You didn't feel nauseous or anything, right…?
Gauguin: Yeah, it was fine when it started. But now that it's over… bleargh.
["Parade" conversation]
Van Gogh: L… Listen, Gauguin. I've been through a lot since I came here.
Gauguin: … I'm sure you're right. You look much brighter than you did back then.

Raffaello: Fufu, thank you. I wish I could be like that all the time.
Raffaello: You want me to teach you how to paint? Well... I think that would be a little difficult…
Van Gogh: But Kuroda-san told me to go get a good squeeze from you while holding your brush!
Van Gogh: Raffaello-san, I'd like to draw even more amazing pictures…!
Raffaello: Hmmm, that is a vague request. What exactly do you want to paint?
Van Gogh: Uhm… I guess something that can make everyone feel cheerful.
Raffaello: I am sure that, if you keep thinking about it, it will come true someday. Take it easy.

Van Gogh: I had time, so I drew 500 pictures today! They're all masterpieces!
Van Gogh: Hey, Kuroda-san! If you don't mind, I'd like you to take a look at my painting.
Kuroda: I refuse. I'm not going to look at a picture of a monkey that's not up to par with others, except in class.
Van Gogh: But I listened to your advice and made corrections throughout the night!
Kuroda: … Sigh. Guess I don't have a choice, bring it to me in 20 seconds.

Van Gogh: Delacroix-san! These are Kuroda-san's homework!
Delacroix: Your paintings rock, Van Gogh. They hit ya right in the heart.

Van Gogh: Huh!? How did you know? Actually, I feel the bitter taste of the green pepper I just ate still lingering in my mouth…
Velazquez: … Van Gogh, don't push yourself too hard.

Van Dyck: … Beautiful. Van Gogh, your paintings are so beautiful!
Van Gogh: Thanks! I don't get a lot of compliments on my paintings, so I'm glad to hear that.
