CUT TO:

14 INT. MOTEL ROOM 21 - DAY ##BLACK AND WHITE SEQUENCE## 14

Leonard, in boxer shorts and plaid work shirt, rips the note

from his thigh. The note says "SHAVE".

15 INT. MOTEL ROOM 21 BATHROOM - DAY ##BLACK AND WHITE15

SEQUENCE##

Leonard enters, sees a WHITE PAPER BAG on the counter by the

sink. On the bag is a handwritten message:

"SHAVE THIGH"

Leonard looks into the bag, then pulls out a can of SHAVING

FOAM, and a pack of DISPOSABLE RAZORS. He runs the hot water,

steps back and lifts his foot onto the sink. He is awkward

and uncomfortable. He notices an ICE BUCKET by the sink.

16 INT. MOTEL ROOM 21 - DAY ##BLACK AND WHITE SEQUENCE## 16

Leonard sits on the bed applying SHAVING FOAM to his thigh.

The ICE BUCKET sits on the bedside table, steaming.

Leonard starts awkwardly SHAVING his right thigh. The PHONE

RINGS and Leonard FLINCHES, NICKING his leg. He looks at the

phone, then reaches for the receiver.

17 INT. A RESTAURANT RESTROOM - DAY 17

Leonard, in BEIGE SUIT and BLUE SHIRT flushes the urinal,

then moves to the sink and starts washing his hands. He

notices a MESSAGE written on the back of his hand.

"REMEMBER SAMMY JANKIS"

He stares at the message for a second, thoughtful, then tries

to scrub the writing off his skin. To his surprise, it is

INDELIBLE. Leonard looks at it, quizzical, then notices some

markings on his wrist, pulling his sleeve back to get a

better look. He can read the start of a message:

"THE FACTS:
"

Leonard is about to roll his sleeve up further when the

restroom door opens and a MAN enters. Leonard dries his

hands, then exits the rest room.

18 INT. RESTAURANT - DAY 18

Leonard emerges .nto the waiting area of a crowded

restaurant. He glances around, lost, then pulls out his

Polaroids, flipping through them. Someone taps him on his

shoulder and he turns to see the smiling face of a waiter.

WAITER:

Sir? You left these at your table.

Leonard looks down. The waiter hands him a BROWN ENVELOPE and

a MOTEL ROOM KEY (DISCOUNT INN, ROOM 304). On the envelope is

a handwritten message:

"FOR LEONARD, FROM NATALIE"

Leonard looks at his Polaroid photograph of the outside of

the Discount Inn motel. There is an address written beneath

it (7254 Lincoln Street). *

LEONARD:

Thanks. Lincoln Street?

The Waiter glances at his Polaroid.

WAITER:

You wanna go east on sixth.

(points)

Just keep straight, all the way out of

town, then take a right.
