Mary:
The quote goes, "How happy, is the blameless vestal's lot? The world forgetting by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. Each prayer accepted and each wish resigned."
Joel Barish:
Why, do I fall in love with every woman I see...who shows me the least bit of attention?
I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly...where I wanna be.
Clementine Kruczynski:
You don't tell me things, Joel. I'm an open book. I tell you everything. Every damn embarrassing thing.
My embarrassing admission 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.
Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign meyours.
I saw you sitting over here...by yourself, and I thought, "Thank God. Someone normal who doesn't know how to interact at these things either."
Joel Barish & Clementine Kruczynski：
- I still thought you were gonna save my life, even after that. It would be different... If we could just give it another go around.
- Remember me. Try your best.
- I wish you'd stayed.
- I wish I'd stayed too. Now I wish I'd stayed. I wish I'd done a lot of things...Oh, God, I wish I had--I wish I'd stayed. I do.
- It's gonna be gone soon.
- I know.
- What dowe do?
- Enjoy it.
- Can I borrow a piece ofyour chicken?
- And then you just took it...without waiting for an answer. It was so intimate, Iike we were already lovers.

You can run but you can't hide.
And adults are like this mess of sadness...and phobias.
You can have him. You did.
