don't erase me, don't you never let me go.

CLEMENTINE
Well, isn’t that just another one of Joel’s self-fulfilling prophecies. It’s more important to prove me wrong than to actually --

JOEL
Look, I don’t want to have this discussion right now. Y’know? It didn’t work.

CLEMENTINE
Well, it did work.

JOEL
Fine, but I couldn’t do anything once I was there.

CLEMENTINE
Fine. Then what? I’m listening.

JOEL
I don’t know! (blurting angrily) You did it, too! You erased me first. It’s the only reason I’m doing it.

CLEMENTINE
I’m sorry. You know me. I’m impulsive.

He stares at her a long time, softens.

JOEL
It’s what I love about you.
