Rememory Page #6

He told me about Jane.

How he blamed himself, and...

how much he missed her...

that she wanted

to go to Scotland

to see the real castles,

and you were planning

on taking her.

You were going to surprise

her for her tenth birthday.

That he loved you more than

anything, and he just...

He couldn't go on without you,

but there were times when you

reminded him so much of Jane

that he just couldn't bear it,

that he was working on

something revolutionary

that would allow him

to be with her again.

I need your help, Carolyn.

There was a woman, part of

the test group, Wendy Polk.

That's her.

She lied to me.

I know now that she was the last

person to see Gordon alive.

We need to get her

on this machine.

We need to see what she saw.

I'm gonna need your

help to do that.

I want to try it.

-You ready?

-Mm. No.

[both laughing]

My beauty.

[laughing]

-You have made a commitment to me.

-It will free us up.

You have made a

commitment to me.

[laughing]

Can I put the star

on top of the tree?

Look, Mommy!

[Carolyn chuckles]

Beautiful.

[gasping]

I know you were the

last one who saw him.

-And I know you killed him.

-No.

I loved him.

Oh, is that right?

I hated him the day he died,

but I was in love with him.

All you were to him

was a distraction.

I know more than you think.

I know a part of his

life that you don't.

I still believed in him.

I also know memories he had

that you don't know about,

that he only shared with me.

I know a whole man you didn't.

[chuckles] Wow.

You're quite a confident

little sh*t, aren't you?

But he chose you, so...

We can't even share our stories,

and now I am left with nothing.

Well, we're both

left with nothing.

I just... I want all

this to be over.

I want my memories back.

Well, if you want

your memories back...

I'd like you to do

something for me.

Gordon? Oh, Jesus Christ!

[running footsteps]

[panting]

Gordon? Gordon, wake up!

Please wake up!

Please wake up. Please,

please, please wake up.

Wake up.

What have you done?

What did you do?

[sobbing] Okay.

Okay. Okay.

[sobbing]

Oh...

So he was already dead

when you arrived.

I'm so sorry.

These are yours.

Thank you.

You should have this.

It's time.

Ah, it's good to

be home, brother.

It's good to have

you home, Dash.

-No, no, no, no, no.

-What, I'm driving!

No, no! This is my sweet ride.

Man, I'm driving

your sweet ride.

Okay. Okay.

[laughing]

You're driving, ah!

[doors close]

[engine starts]

- Showered and blue-blazered...

-That's great, though.

You get mistaken for strangers

by your own friends

When you pass in the night

Under the silvery,

silvery Citibank lights

Arm in arm and arm and

eyes and eyes glazing over

-Under. Under!

-Over!

-Under! Surprise.

-I don't--

Whatever it was.

Another un-innocent,

elegant fall

Into the un-magnificent

lives of adults

[imitates drumming]

Yeah, come on! Come on, rock star!

You take it!

Something to believe in

your heart of hearts

When you've something to wear

on your sleeve of sleeves

So you swear you just

saw a feathery woman

Carry a blindfolded

man through the trees

Showered and blue-blazered

Fill yourself with quarters

Showered and blue...

[crashing]

[Dash muttering]

Come here, Dash. You're pinned!

I'm just gonna turn you--

[grunts in exertion]

Come on, Dash!

Sh*t!

Wait. Hey, hey. Easy.

[muttering]

I-I can't understand

what you're saying.

Another... another

un-innocent, elegant fall

Into the un-magnificent

lives of adults

[sobbing]

You were just singing the song.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Help me!

Somebody help me!

Please!

Oh, my God.

Dash, I got you. Come here.

I'm gonna have to

leave you here, man.

Okay? You stay here.

[sobbing, panting]

[Todd] You ruined my life,

and now you're gonna

make a bunch of money?

-Jesus, Todd. -You don't

give a sh*t about anyone!

Todd, listen to me.

The moment I fall, and

my eyes roll back,

blood splattered everywhere,

you'll have to live with that,

and it'll be worse

than any memory

that was brought back for you.

[gunshot]

Oh...

It's better... than

what you've done to me.

Todd...

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

What have I done?

What have I done?

Oh, God.

-Here she comes.

-Here she comes.

Let's take a picture.

-Is it picture time?

-Get together.

Okay, we're together,

we're together.

-Say cheese.

-Cheese!

Perfect.

Let's go build a sandcastle.

Build a sandcastle.

I can't think of a

time in my life

when I've been happier.

Carolyn.

Me neither.

Everything in its right place.

Right place.

...star on top of the tree?

Cheese!

Oh, my God!

Dad, I love you.

That was a beautiful

day, sweetie.

It was a beautiful day, but

there were so many days.

There were so many memories.

Mm...

The machine killed him.

When I met Gordon

at the hotel...

I knew who he was.

I wanted to apologize, but...

there were no words...

just like there are

no words right now.

I wanted to tell you

everything, but I-I-I...

I just, I couldn't.

If you watch this, you'll

understand who I am...

who I really am.

I'm truly sorry, Carolyn.

I'm so sorry.

Goodbye.

Sam...

Sam, James, Rafferty...

[scoffs]

Whoever you really

are, thank you.

[Gordon] We define our

lives by our memories.

Who we are on a particular day

is the result of memories

from every day before.

But memories are

elastic, malleable,

often mercurial things.

I think of my own life,

the sum of my memories.

Like any man, I've done many

things that I feel guilt for.

I feel pain from

so many things...

for the damndest of things.

Memories of true happiness are

what make life worth living,

but they're so often lost

in the sea of bad ones.

We are nothing more than

the memories we keep...

memories of overwhelming joy...

profound sadness...

gratitude...

pride...

grief...

despair...

remorse...

passion...

regret...

Regret.

Regret.

But the strongest

memories we carry with us

are ones of love.

Afternoon, Oliver.

Afternoon.

It's Sam.

My name is Sam.

Well, then, afternoon, Sam.

And finally, hope.

Now, I want you to

think of a memory,

first thing that comes to mind.

Go ahead, close your eyes.

I could walk out

But I won't

In my mind I am

In your arms

I wish someone

Would take my place

Can't face heaven

or the hell I face

No one's cared

for all the time

If you lose me I'm gonna die

How completely

High was I

I was off by a

thousand miles

Hit the ceiling

Then you fall

Things are tougher

than we are

I could walk out

But I won't

In my mind I'm in your arms

I wish someone

Would take my place

Can't face heaven

or heaven face

Let's go wait out

in the fields

With the ones we love

Let's go wait out in fields

With the ones we love

Let's go wait out in fields

With the ones we love

Let's go wait out in fields

With the ones we love

She's a griever

Not a believer

It's not a fever

It's a freezer

I believe her

And I'm a griever now

She's a griever
