:29:00
This is, uh, Stan Fink,
one of our most experienced
and skilled technicians.
:29:06
He'll be handling
your case tonight.
:29:09
Great to meet you,
:29:12
My name is Joel Barish,
:29:13
And I'm here to erase
Clementine Kruczynski.
:29:18
Very good.
Now, tell me about,
:29:21
Uh, Clementine.
:29:23
Uh, I was...
:29:26
Living with this woman,
:29:28
Naomi,
:29:30
Uh, a couple years ago,
:29:32
And my friends Rob and Carrie
invited us to this party at the beach--
:29:35
I don't like parties.
:29:37
Naomi couldn't go, but
:29:39
I went...
and I, uh,
:29:42
met Clementine.
:29:45
I'm sorry.
:29:46
Let's start with
your most recent memories... and
:29:50
Work backwards from there,
more or less.
:29:53
There's an emotional core...
to each of our memories,
:29:55
And when you eradicate that core
:29:58
It starts its degradation process.
:30:00
By the time you wake up
in the morning,
:30:02
All the memories we've targeted
will have withered and disappeared,
:30:06
As in a dream upon waking.
:30:08
Is there any risk
of brain damage?
:30:11
Well, uh, technically speaking,
:30:14
The procedure is brain damage,
but
:30:16
It's on a par with
a night of heavy drinking.
:30:20
Nothing you'll miss.
:30:22
Comfortable?
:30:24
What we're doing here, Mr. Barish,
:30:26
Is actually creating a map of your brain.
:30:29
Okay, let's get started.
:30:31
If we want to get
this procedure underway tonight,
:30:32
we have some work to do.
:30:34
I want you to react
to these objects, Mr. Barish,
:30:37
If you will.
:30:41
There's a good story
behind this one--
Uh, actually, Mr. Barish,
:30:44
I'll get a much better
emotional readout...
if you refrain from any sort of
:30:48
Verbal description of the items.
:30:50
Just try to focus on the memories.
:30:52
Oh. Sorry. Okay.
:30:56
Healthy activity up there again.
Healthy readouts.
:30:59
Very good.
