Memento

Some memories are best forgotten

"I have this condition."

    --  Leonard Shelby
 

"She's gone and the present is trivia which I scribble on these fucking notes."

    --  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."

    --  Leonard Shelby
 

"I know I can't have her back... but I don't want to wake up in the morning, thinking she's still here. I lie here not knowing... how long I've been alone. So how... how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can't... feel time?"

    --  Leonard Shelby
 

"You don't know who you are anymore."
"Of course I do. I'm Leonard Shelby. I'm from San Francisco."
"No, that's who you were. Maybe it's time you started investigating yourself."

    --  Teddy and Leonard Shelby
 

"Ya know, I've had more rewarding relationships... but at least I can keep telling the same jokes."

    --  Teddy
 

"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
 

"Someone has to pay, Lenny. Somebody always pays."

    --  Teddy
 

"I take it I've told you about my condition."
"Only every time I see ya."

    --  Leonard Shelby and Teddy
 

"Okay, what am I doing?  I'm chasing this guy... nope.  He's chasing me."

    --  Leonard Shelby
 

"Can't I just let myself forget what you've told me? Can't I just let myself forget what you've made me do. You think I just want another puzzle to solve? Another John G. to look for? You're John G. So you can be my John G... Will I lie to myself to be happy? In your case Teddy... yes I will."

    --  Leonard Shelby

"We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different."

    --  Leonard Shelby
 

"Now... where was I?"

    --  Leonard Shelby
