Clementine : My name's Clementine, by the way.
Joel : I'm Joel.
Clementine : Hi, Joel. No jokes about my name. Oh no.
You wouldn't do that. You're trying to be nice.
Joel : I don't know any jokes about your name.
Clementine : Huckleberry Hound.
Joel : I don't know what that means.
Clementine : Huckleberry Hound? What are you,
nuts?
Joel : It's been
suggested.
Clementine : Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my
darling Clementine. You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry, Clementine. No?
Joel : Sorry. It's just, a pretty name, though. It
really is nice. It, uh, means merciful, right?
Clemency?
Clementine : Although it hardly fits. I'm a
vindictive little bitch,
truth be told.
Joel : Gee. I wouldn't think that about you.
Clementine : Why wouldn't you think that about me?
Joel : I don't know. I just… uh. I don’t know. I
just… You seemed nice. So…
Clementine : Oh. Now I'm nice? God. Don't you know
any other adjectives? I don't need nice. I don't
need myself to be it and I don’t need anybody to be
it at me.
Joel : Okay.
Clementine : Joel. It's Joel, right?
Joel : Yes.
Clementine : I'm sorry I
yelled at you. I'm a little
out of sorts
today. 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 going to like,
but right now I'm glad you are.
Joel : I have some stuff that, uh, that I probably
should...
Clementine : Oh!
Joel : I’m writing.
Clementine : I'm sorry. |
