cuts and eternal sunshine

Do you ever get those little cuts that you have no idea where they came from, and they dont ever hurt untill about an hour after you notice them. I have one of those on my finger and it's really annoying...
I've been looking through Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind quotes and i honestly love almost every second and line of that movie.
Joel: Hi.
Clementine: Hi. Didn't figure you'd show your face around me again. I guess I thought you were... humiliated. You did run away, after all.
Joel: I just needed to see you.
Clementine: Yeah?
Joel: I'd like to, um... take you out, or something.
Clementine: You're married.
Joel: Not yet, not married. No, I'm not married.
Clementine: Look man, I'm telling you right off the bat, I'm high-maintainance, so... I'm not gonna tip-toe around your marriage, or whatever it is you've got goin' there. If you wanna be with me, you're with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.
Joel: I remember that speech really well.
Clementine: I had you pegged, didn't I?
Joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
Clementine: Hmm. Probably.
Joel: I still thought you were gonna save my life... even after that.
Clementine: Ohhh... I know.
Joel: It would be different, if we could just give it another go-round.
Clementine: Remember me. Try your best; maybe we can.

Clementine: My embarrassing admission is I really like that you're nice, right now.

________________

it's all so beautifully written, each character with their own flaws and heartbreak individually playing its own part in the big picture of the idea.

Clementine, the spontaneous quirky who's relationship plummets and gets Joel erased from her mind
Joel, the boring guy stuck in a rut, who doesn't get out much, and falls for Clementine, but doesn't realize how much he actually loved her untill he can't stop the procedure
Rob and Carrie, a developed couple, friends with Joel, they fight alot.
Mary, secretly in love with her boss, but doesnt remember being in an affair with him, and is dating her co-worker, Stan
Stan, head over heels for mary but can tell that she has secret feelings for their boss
Patrick, who takes advantage of Clementines situation and disreguards Joel
Dr. Mierzwiak who is their boss who wipes the memories of Joel and Clementine

its just a beautiful spectacular movie.
go buy a copy, dont rent it or borrow it, buy a copy. its worth it.
