noises.

much noise as he holds the door open for him.

and enter Joel’s apartment to find Joel unconscious on the ground.
8. Joel wakes up in his bed to relive the exact moment where he walked into his apartment on
Valentine’s Day eve and has the exact same run-in with his neighbor Frank again, hearing
their whole interaction in a distorted fashion.
9. Three days before Valentine’s Day, Joel is in Rob and Carrie’s house recounting a story in
which he called Clementine to resolve an issue between them, presumably them breaking up,
but reveals that Clementine has changed her number.
10. Earlier in the day, Joel is in Antic Attic picking out a piece of jewelry for Clementine as an
early Valentine’s Day gift to resolve their breakup.
11. Later that night, back in Rob and Carrie’s house, Joel says that once he delivered the early
valentine to Clementine at work, she was there with another guy and she looked as though
she didn’t even recognize him.
12. Earlier in the day, after Joel goes to Antic Attic, he goes to Clementine’s work to deliver his
early valentine, but she doesn’t seem to recognize him, and he sees her kissing another guy
who is out of his line of sight.
13. Joel is back in Rob and Carrie’s house later that night moping over why Clementine would
do such a thing to him while Rob and Carrie get into a marital argument; Rob gives Joel a
letter that was delivered to him and Carrie earlier that day, and the letter states that
Clementine has had Joel erased from her memory, right before Clementine’s name itself
dissolves from the surface of the letter.
14. The next day, Joel walks to the Lacuna office and arranges an appointment with the
receptionist Mary to see Dr. Mierzwiak.

by Stan, her presumed boyfriend, who is unaware of Joel’s presence and is scolded by Mary
after he has scared her.

has been erased from Clementine’s memory by a procedure that Lacuna provides.
17. Later that day, back at Rob and Carrie’s house, Joel recounts what Dr. Mierzwiak told him to
Carrie while Rob makes a birdhouse.
18. That night, Joel is alone crying in his car and slamming the steering wheel in frustration of
Clementine erasing him from her memory.
