Christopher Nolan 01. Memento (2000)
Leonard Shelby: The world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it? Natalie: Is that what your little note says? It must be hard living your life off a couple of scraps of paper. You mix your laundry list with your grocery list you'll end up eating your underwear for breakfast. Natalie: You sad, sad freak. I can say whatever the fuck I want, and you won't remember. We'll still be best friends. Or maybe even lovers. Leonard Shelby: [looking at a near-empty bottle of alcohol in his hand] Hmmm. I don't feel drunk. Leonard Shelby: Who did this to you? Dodd: You did. Leonard Shelby: Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts. [while talking to the phone, reads another tatto: NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE] Leonard: That's Sammy, not me. I told you about Sammy. Teddy: Yeah, right. Like you tell yourself over and over again. Conditioning yourself to remember. Learning through repetition. Leonard Shelby: I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there. Is it still out there?... Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different. Leonard Shelby: Now... where was I?
