We've met, but you don't remember me.
I worked for a company you hired to have part of your memory erased.
In order to correct this, I'm sending everyone's fixile back to them.
My name is Clementine Kruczynski.
I'm here to erase Joel Barish.
He's boring. Is that enough reason to erase someone?
I've been thinking lately how I was before and how I am now,
and it's like he changed me.
I feel like I'm always pissy now. I don't like myself when I'm with him.
I don't like myself anymore.
I can't stand to even look at him.
That pathetic, wimpy, apologetic smile.
That sort of wounded puppy shit he does, you know?
What are you doing?
I'm not doing anything!
The bloom is certainly fucking off the rose at this point.
------------------------------
Joel Barish.
Hey, Clementine. Hey.
Really very educated.
I mean, she's smart, I think,
but not educated.
I couldn't really talk to her about books, you know?
She's more of a magazine-reading girl.
Her vocabulary leaves something to be desired.
Sometimes ... I was embarrassed in public ...
Because she would pronounce...
library "libary."
I think if there's a truly seductive quality about Clementine,
it's that her personality promises to take you out of the mundane.
Amazing, burning meteorite...
will carry you to another world where things are exciting.
But what you quickly learn is that...
it's really an elaborate ruse.
So flashy in a kind of obvious way.
But still,
it seduces you.
Where's the real Clementine?
I mean, the whole thing with the hair ... it's all bullshit.
The world's a goddamn mess.
Is it some kind of a revolt? Change your hair color.
No, I don't think her sex is ... motivated.
I saw it clearly the last night we were together.
It wasn't sex. It was just sad.
I thought there was more.
The only way Clem thinks she can get people to like her ...
is to fuck 'em ...
or at least dangle the possibility of getting fucked in front of'em.
And she's so desperate and insecure...
that she'll, sooner or later, go around fucking everybody.
I thought I knew her so well.
What a loss to spend that much time with someone,
only to find out that she's a stranger.
------------------------------
Wait.
What?
I don't know.
Just wait. Just wait.
What do you want, Joel?
I don't know. I want you to wait for ... just a while.
Okay.
Really?
I'm not a concept, Joel.
I'm just a fucked-up girl who's looking for my own peace of mind.
I'm not perfect.
I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Right now you can't.
But you will. But you will.
You know, you will think of things,
and I'll get bored with you and feel trapped...
because that's what happens with me.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.

Look around you
Change your heart
It will astound you
Now, I need your lovin'
Like the sunshine
Everybody's gotta learn sometime.
