JOEL
(calling after her)
I really should go.
I really need to catch my ride.
VOICE-OVER
I didnt want to go. I was too nervous. I thought, maybe you were a nut. But

CLEMENTINE (CONTD)
(flat)
So go.
JOEL
I did. I walked out the door. I felt
like a scared little kid. I thought you
knew that about me. I ran back to the
bonfire, trying to outrun my humiliation.
You said, "so go" with such disdain.
CLEMENTINE
(poking her head downstairs)
What if you stay this time?
JOEL
I walked out the door. Theres no more
memory.
