"To my Chris.

I've been thinking how I could possibly

tell you how much you mean to me.

I remember when I first started to fall

in love with you like it was last night.

Lying naked beside you

in that tiny apartment...

...it suddenly hit me that I was part

of this whole larger thing.

Just like our parents...

...or our parents' parents.

Before that, I was just living my life

like I knew everything...

...and suddenly this bright light hit me

and woke me up.

That light was you.

I can't believe it's already been

5O years since you married me.

And still to this day, every day...

...you make me feel like the girl I was...

...when you first turned on the lights

and we started this adventure together.

Happy anniversary...

...my love.

My friend till the end.

Loretta."

I love the color,

and I play with it every day."

"What a truly beautiful wedding,

and what a gorgeous bride.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house,

especially mine.

Your aunt and I are so proud of you."

with honor and dignity.

I'm grateful I was able to fight alongside him.

He will live always in my heart."

What are the possibilities?

Element Software is proud to introduce...

...the first artificially intelligent

operating system.

An intuitive entity that listens to you,

understands you, and knows you.

It's not just an operating system.

It's a consciousness.

Introducing OS1.

Mr. Theodore Twombly.

Welcome to the world's first artificially

intelligent operating system, OS1.

We'd like to ask you a few basic questions

before the operating system is initiated.

This will help create an OS

to best fit your needs.

Okay.

Are you social or antisocial?

I guess I haven't really been social in a while.

Mostly because--

In your voice, I sense hesitance.

Would you agree with that?

- Was I sounding hesitant?

- Yes.

I'm sorry if I was sounding hesitant.
