Dear Friend;
"Now, the first thing we need you to do Mr. Barish is go home, and collect everything you own that has some association with Clementine; anything. We'll use these items to create a map of Clementine in your brain, okay? So, we'll need photos, clothing, gifts. Books she might have bought you. Cd's you may have bought together, journal entries. You'll want to empty your home, you'll want to empty your life of Clementine, and after the mapping is done our technicians will do the erasing in your home tonight. That way when you awake in the morning you'll find yourself in your own bed, as if nothing has happened. A new life awaiting you."
"My name is Joel Barish, and I am here to erase Clementine Kruczynski.
Very good, now tell me about Clementine.
I was living with this woman, Naomi, a couple of years ago, and my friends Rob and Carey invited us to this party at the beach; I don't like parties. Naomi couldn't go, but I went, and I met Clementine."
"We'll start with you most recent memories, and walk backwards from there. There's an emotional core to each or our memories, and when you eradicate that core, it starts it's degradation process. By the time you wake up in the morning, all of the memories that are targeted will wither and disappear, as in a dream upon waking.
Is there any risk in brain damage?
Well, uh...technically speaking the procedure is brain damage it's on a par with a night of heavy drinking. Nothing you'll miss."
Love always,
Brett
