CUT TO:

5 INT. MOTEL ROOM 21 - DAY ##BLACK AND WHITE SEQUENCE## 5

Leonard lies on the queen-sized bed. He lifts his head.

LEONARD (V.O.)

So you're in some motel room...

He gets up, surveys the room as if for the first time. He

wears BOXERS and a PLAID WORK SHIRT.

LEONARD (cont'd)

... you don't know how long you've been

there, or how you got there...

There is a room key on the dresser. The plastic tag

identifies it as the key to ROOM 21. Leonard opens drawers in

the room.

LEONARD (cont'd)

Just some anonymous motel room. Won't

tell you anything. Nothing in the

drawers, but you look anyway.

He reaches for the bedside table drawer.

LEONARD (cont'd)

Nothing except the Gideon Bible.

He opens the drawer to find a Gideon Bible.

CUT TO:

6 INT. DISCOUNT INN OFFICE - DAY 6

E.C.U. of fingers rifling bills in a wallet. Leonard counts

out some money and hands it to the fat, sweaty middle-aged

man behind the counter. (BURT). Burt takes the money,

spotting something over Leonard's shoulder.

BURT:

That guy's here already.

Burt TAPS the POLAROID PHOTOGRAPH of Teddy which is sitting

on the counter. Leonard picks up the photo and turns to see

Teddy APPROACHING the glass door of the office. Leonard

watches carefully as Teddy shambles up to the office door. A

BELL CHIIIES as Teddy enters and breaks into his sh*t-eating

grin. Leonard slips the photo into his pocket.

TEDDY:

Lenny!

Leonard nods in apparent recognition, wary.

LEONARD:

It's Leonard... like I told you before.

Teddy pretends to think hard.

TEDDY:

Did you? I musta forgot. I'm Teddy. *

LEONARD:

(smiles)

I guess I've told you about my condition.

Teddy grins and holds the door open for Leonard.

TEDDY:

Only every time I see ya!

7 EXT. DISCOUNT INN CAR PARK - DAY 7

Teddy starts for a GREY SEDAN. Leonard pauses behind him.

LEONARD:

My car.

Teddy glances back in surprise.

TEDDY:

This is your car.

LEONARD:

(shakes head)

You're in a playful mood.

Leonard holds up a Polaroid of a late model JAGUAR.

LEONARD (cont'd)

Shouldn't make fun of somebody's *

handicap.

Teddy smiles and heads for the BRAND-NEW JAGUAR parked

several cars further down.

TEDDY:

Just trying to have a little fun.

8 INT. CAR - DAY 8

Leonard drives, Teddy admires the new car' s interior,

reaching down around the seats, exploring the car with his

hands.

TEDDY:

Roll your window up, will ya?

Leonard hits his window button. A few fragments of safety

glass rise out of the door, remnants of a broken window.

LEONARD:

It's broken.

Teddy looks, curious.

TEDDY:

I can get that fixed for you.
