SKY: Donna13… Here, let me get them.

«Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind» (2004) Michel Gondry

– Hi.

– I’m sorry?

– I just said hi.

– Hi. Hello. Hi.

– Okay if I sit closer14? How far15 are you going?

– Uh, Rockville Center.

– Get out! Me too!

– Really?

– What are the odds16? Do I know you? Do you ever shop at Barnes & Noble?

– Sure. Sure.

– That’s it!

– Yeah?

– I’ve seen you, man! Book slave17 there for, like, five years now. Jesus! Is it five years?

– Ah. I would have thought I would’ve remembered you.

– It might be the hair.

– What might?

– It changes a lot. The color. That’s why you might not recognize18 me. It’s called Blue Ruin19, the color.

– Right. Yeah.

– Snappy20 name, huh?

– I like it.

– Yeah. Anyway, this company makes a whole line of colors with equally snappy names. Red… Red Menace21, Yellow Fever22, Green Revolution. That’d be a job, coming up23 with those names.

– You think there could possibly be a job like that? I mean, how many hair colors could there be? Fifty, maybe.

– Someone’s got that job. Agent Orange! I came up with that one. I apply my personality24 in a paste25.

– Oh, I doubt26 that very much.

– Well, you don’t know me, so… you don’t know, do you?

– Sorry. I was just… I’m trying to be nice.

– Yeah. I got it. My name’s Clementine27, by the way.

– I’m Joel28.

– Hi, Joel.

– Hey.

– No jokes about my name. Oh, no, you wouldn’t do that. You’re trying to be nice.

– I don’t know any jokes about your name.

– Huckleberry29 Hound30.

– I don’t know what that means.

– Huckleberry Hound? What are you, nuts?

– It’s been suggested.

– No?

– I’m sorry. Just… It’s a pretty name, though. It really is nice. It’s, uh… It means «merciful31». Right? Clemency?

– Although it hardly32 fits33. I’m a vindictive34 little bitch, truth be told.

– Gee, I – I wouldn’t think that about you.

– Why wouldn’t you think that about me?

– I don’t know. I just… I don’t know. I just, uh… You seem nice, so…

– Oh, now I’m nice? Oh, God. Don’t you know any other adjectives35? I don’t need «nice». I don’t need myself to be it, and I don’t need anybody else to be it at me.

– Okay.

– Joel? It’s Joel, right?

– Yes.

– I’m sorry I yelled36 at you. I’m a little out of sorts37 today. My embarrassing38 admission39 is, I really like that you’re nice right now. I mean, I can’t tell from one moment to the next what I’m gonna like, but right now… I’m glad you are.

– I have so much stuff40 that, uh, I probably should, uh…

– Oh! I’m sorry. Okay.

– I – I’m writing, and… No, no. I just…
