Drink up young man. It'll make the whole seduction part less repugnant.

Clementine Kruczynski

I'm always anxious thinking I'm not living my life to the fullest, y'know? Taking advantage of every possibility? Just making sure that I'm not wasting one second of the little time I have.

Clementine Kruczynski

You can't be ugly - be pretty.

Clementine Kruczynski

I apply my personality in a paste.

Clementine Kruczynski

I'm a vindictive little bitch, truth be told.

Clementine Kruczynski

I'm just a **** up girl trying to find her own peace of mind, I'm not perfect.

Clementine Kruczynski

You look familiar. Ever shop at Barnes & Noble?

Clementine

Hi!

I'm sorry?

Clementine

Why?

Why what?

Clementine

Why are you sorry? I just said 'hi.'

No, I didn't know if you were talking to me, so...

Clementine
(looking around the empty car)

Really?

(embarrassed)

Well, I didn't want to assume.

Clementine

Aw, c'mon, live dangerously. Take the leap and assume someone is talking to you in an otherwise empty car.

Anyway. Sorry. Hi.

Clementine

You're not a stalker or anything, right?

I'm not a stalker. *You're* the one that talked to me, remember?

Clementine

That is the oldest trick in the stalker book.

Really? There's a stalker book? Great, I gotta read that one.

Clementine

Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a **** up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.

I remember that speech really well.

Clementine

I had you pegged, didn't I?

You had the whole human race pegged.

Clementine

Probably.

I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.

Clementine

I know.

Clementine

This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.

I know.

Clementine

What do we do?

Enjoy it.

[In the house on the beach]

I really should go! I've gotta catch my ride.

Clementine

So go.

I did. I thought maybe you were a nut... but you were exciting.

Clementine

I wish you had stayed.

I wish I had stayed too. NOW I wish I had stayed. I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish I had... I wish I had stayed. I do.

Clementine

Well I came back downstairs and you were gone!

I walked out, I walked out the door!

Clementine

Why?

I don't know. I felt like I was a scared little kid, I was like... it was above my head, I don't know.

Clementine

You were scared?

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?

Yeah, you said "so go." With such disdain, you know?

Clementine

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Clementine

You know me, I'm impulsive.

That's what I love about you.

Clementine

Hi!

Excuse me?

Clementine

I just said hi.

Oh! Hi, hello.

Clementine

I'm Clementine … no jokes about my name.

I don't know any jokes about your name.

Clementine

Huckleberry Hound.

I don't know what that is.

Clementine

Huckleberry Hound! [singing] Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine.

I don't know what that means.

Clementine

Are you nuts?

It's been suggested.

I can't see anything I don't like about you.

Clementine

But you will, you will think of things and I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.

Okay.
