{In the house on the beach}
Joel: I really need to go. I should catch my ride.
Clementine: So go.
Joel: I did! I walked out the door! I was too nervous. I thought maybe you were a nut. But you were exciting. I felt like... I was scared like a little kid.
Clementine: You were scared?
Joel: Yeah... I thought you knew that about me. I ran back to the bonfire, trying to outrun my humiliation.
Clementine: Was it something I said?
Joel: Yeah, you said "so go". Said it with such disdain, you know?
Clementine: Oh, I'm sorry!
Joel: It's ok.
Clementine: I wish you had stayed...
Joel: I wish I had stayed, too! I swear to god, I wish I had stayed! I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish... I wish I had stayed... [walking out]
Clementine: Joely? What if you stayed this time?
Joel: I walked out the door... there's no memory left.
Clementine: Come back and make up a goodbye at least! Pretend we had one...

How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!
the world forgetting, by the world forgot
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd...
