Dear Stranger

but I’m working on a new drawing

is a great line… that whole scene kind of pulls at the heart strings. I’m the kind of person who looks back a lot, I burn bridges with people in the heat of the moment, because it’s easier for me to live with nothing than to have reminders of something I’ve lost. But there’s always a point where you stop being angry and scared, and you just want to go back to that last moment and pretend there was a real goodbye…

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 good-bye at least. Let’s pretend we had one.
[Joel comes back]
Clementine: Bye Joel.
Joel: I love you…
