Clementine Mode ON

"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 fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours." [Clementine Kruczynski]

Joel: [in the house on the beach] I really should go! I've gotta catch my ride.

Clementine: So go.

Joel: I did. I thought maybe you were a nut … but you were exciting.

Clementine: I wish you had stayed.

Joel: 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!

Joel: I walked out, I walked out the door!

Clementine: Why?

Joel: 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?

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". With such disdain, you know?

Clementine: Oh, I'm sorry.

Joel: It's okay.
