Paul – C’est vrai que je ne connais personne qui ait tenté de se suicider en se tranchant l’oreille... Vincent – Il a peut-être essayé de se trancher la gorge, il a raté son coup, et c’est l’oreille qui a tout pris.

Paul - It's true that I don't know anyone who has attempted suicide by cutting off their ear . . .  
Vincent - Maybe he tried to cut his throat, missed, and got his ear instead.
