LEONARD:

You know him?

NATALIE:

No. But the photo on his license looked

familiar. I think he's been in the bar before

Natalie slides the envelope towards him, but stops short.

NATALIE (cont'd)

This is a copy of his registration,

license, photo and all. Are you sure you

want this?

LEONARD:

Have I told you what this man did?*

NATALIE:

Yes.

LEONARD:

Then you shouldn't have to ask.

NATALIE:

But even if you get your revenge, you

won't remember it. You won't even know

it's happened.

LEONARD:

(annoyed) *

So I'll take a picture, get a tattoo. *

(calms) *

The world doesn't disappear when you *

close your eyes, does it? My actions *

still have meaning, even if I can't *

remember them. My wife deserves *

vengeance, and it doesn't make any*

difference whether I know about it. *

NATALIE:

Tell me about her again.

LEONARD:

Why?

NATALIE:

Because you like to remember her. I want

to see you enjoy yourself.

LEONARD:

She was beautiful. Perfect to me -*

NATALIE:

Don't just recite the words. Close your

eyes, remember her.

Leonard smiles and shuts his eyes.

INSERT FLASHBACK:

25 INT. LEONARD'S APARTMENT - DAY 25

Random images of a woman (30's, black hair, plain). Jump cuts

of details:
a smile, eating, tucking her hair behind her ear,

pulling on a pair of trousers, watching TV, shouting in

anger. Sitting on the edge of the bed in her underwear, she

TURNS as Leonard pinches her thigh.

LEONARD (V.O.)

You can only feel details. Bits and

pieces which you didn't bother to put

into words. And extreme moments you feel

even if you don't want to. Put it

together and you get the feel of the

person, enough to know how much you miss

them, and how much you hate the person

who took them away.

26 INT. CITY GRILL - DAY - 26

Leonard opens his eyes. Natalie is looking at him. She nods

and hands him the BROWN ENVELOPE.

NATALIE:

I wrote an address in there, too. Might

be useful. It's this abandoned place

outside of town. I guy I know used to use

it for his bigger deals.

LEONARD:

Deals?

NATALIE:

It's isolated.

LEONARD:

Sounds perfect? What do I owe you?

NATALIE:

I wasn't helping you for money.

LEONARD:

Sorry.

NATALIE:

It's not your fault. See, you have this

condition...

Leonard smiles. Natalie reaches into her purse and pulls out

a MOTEL ROOM KEY.

NATALIE (cont'd)

Are you still at the Discount Inn? Room*

304? You left this at my place.

Leonard pulls out a Polaroid of the Discount Inn.*

LEONARD:

The Discount Inn, yeah. *

Natalie leaves the key and gets up from the table.
