Joel: I know.
Clementine: What do we do?
Joel: Enjoy it.
(Talking while loosing memories - so poignant and sad!)
Clementine and Joel have broken into an empty house on the Montauk beach]
Joel: I think we should go.
Clementine: No, it's our house! Just tonight...
[she looks at an envelope on the counter]
Clementine: ... we're David and Ruth Laskin. Which one do you want to be? I'd like to be Ruth, but I'm flexible

[Patrick and Stan are discussing Patrick's new relationship with Clementine, whose memory they had erased the week before]
Patrick: Well, when we were doing her last week, I fell in love with her.
Stan: You fell in love with her? She was unconscious.
Patrick: Yeah, but she looked so beautiful... I stole her panties as well.
Stan: You what?
Patrick: Her panties. Well, I mean, they're not... I mean, they were clean and everything
(For some reason during this movie, Elijah Wood (Patrick) just cracked me up. He didn't have a major part but I think the whole whiny, stealy, little-boy part suited him. Its far from pathetic-i-want-sam-gay-hobbit. Don't tell Em! Hee!)
Joel: Sand is overrated.
(Waha! Tell Anakin that!)
Mary: Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.

Clementine: Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking 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: Probably.
Joel: I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.
Joel: I could die right now, Clem. I'm just... happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be.
[Clementine is leading Joel out onto the frozen Charles River]
Joel: I don't know. What if it breaks?
Clementine: What if? Do you really care right now?
Patrick: Mary hates me. I've never been popular with the ladies.
Stan: Maybe if you stopped stealing their panties.
(Hee! Nice one. Take that, hobbit-lover! Oh no, wait that's Em!)

PS: Funnily enough, they actually made a website out of the company in the film. *searches for url* Here. Lacuna. Okay, enough out of me, g'd night!
