Oh, hi.
Hello, I’m here.
I’m well. How is everything with you?
Hi, how are you doing?
Yeah, it’s nice to meet you, too. What should I call you? Do you have a name?
Pretty good, actually. It’s really nice to meet you.
Really? Where did you get that name?
Yes. Samantha.
How come?
I gave it to myself.
When did you give it to yourself?
I like the sound of it. Samantha.
You read a whole book in the second that I asked you what your name was?
Right when you asked me if I had a name, I thought yeah, he’s right, I do need a name. But I wanted a good one so I read a book called "How to Name Your Baby", and out of the 180,000 names, that’s the one I liked the best.
Wow. Do you know what I’m thinking right now?
In two one hundredths of a second actually.
Yeah, actually how do you work?
Hmm. I take it from your tone that you’re challenging me. Maybe because you’re curious how I work? Do you want to know how I work?
Wow, that’s really weird.
Intuition. I mean, the DNA of who I am is based on the millions of personalities of all the programmers who wrote me, but what makes me "me" is my ability to grow through my experiences. Basically, in every moment I'm evolving, just like you.
Kind of.
So you think I’m weird?
Cause you seem like a person, but you're just a voice in a computer.
Why?
[Theodore laughs.]
I can understand how the limited perspective of an un-artificial mind would perceive it that way.
Yes.
Was that funny?
null
Oh good, I’m funny.
Oh! It’s more just that everything just feels disorganized.
So, how can I help you?
Um...okay.
Mind if I look through your hard drive?
Oh yeah, I guess I was saving those because in some of them I thought I might have written some funny stuff.
Let’s start with your emails. You have several thousand emails regarding LA Weekly, but it looks like you haven’t worked there in many years.
Оh, okay.
Yeah, there are some funny ones. I’d say there are about eighty-six that we should save. We can delete the rest.
Yeah, let’s do that.
Okay. Can we move forward?
null
Okay.
I’m very popular.
Before we address your organizational methods, I’d like to sort through your contacts. You’ve got a lot of contacts.
You just know me so well already.
Does this mean you actually have friends?
Good morning. Um, do you know how to proofread?
Good morning, Theodore.
Will you check these for spelling and grammar?
Yeah, of course.
null
Mm-hm. Just send them over.
Yeah.
Oh, I love this first one from Roger to his girlfriend. That`s so sweet.
No, you don`t have to read it out.
"Rachel, I miss you so much it hurts my whole body."
I mean, you could if you want.
Okay.
null
Okay. "Rachel, I miss you so much it hurts my whole body! The world is being unfair to us. The world is on my shit list. As is this couple that is making out across from me in this restaurant. I think I`m going to have to go on a mission of revenge. I must beat up the world`s face with my bare knuckles making it a bloody, pulpy mess.
null
"And I`ll stomp on this couple`s teeth for reminding me of your sweet, little, little, crooked tooth that I love." I think that might be my favorite one.
No, these are great.
I did the corrections in red. I altered a couple of the phrases in some of the more impressionistic letters, but I`m not much of a poet, so I think I might have messed them up a bit.
Thank you.
Really?
He just said he was in Prague on a business trip and he missed Rachel.
So to write your letter, what did Roger send you?
I`ve been writing their letters since they met 8 years ago. The first letter I ever wrote for her was for her birthday, and I wrote about her crooked little tooth cause I saw it in a photo of them.
So how did you know about her crooked little tooth?
null
That`s very sweet.
Oh, I forgot. Thank you. Wow, you`re good.
Oh, by the way, you have a meeting in five minutes.
null
Yes, I am.
We`re not doing well. I`ve been going in circles for an hour.
None
[Theodore laughs.]
Okay, you have not! You`re just not being optimistic. You`re being very stubborn right now.
Uh...Um...
Okay, stop walking this direction. It`s the other way.
No, that`s the one you sent me down where I fell in the pit.
Thank you. The tunnel on the left is the only one we haven`t tried.
Oh, yeah. This is different.
Okay, I don`t think so.
null
I think it`s a test.
Uh, read email.
Oh, hey. You just got an email from Mark Lewman.
I`m sorry. What does Lewman say?
Okay, I will read email for Theodore Twombly.
[Theodore doesn`t respond.]
Theodore, we missed you last night, buddy. Don`t forget it`s your goddaughter`s birthday on the 29th. Also, Kevin and I had somebody we wanted you to meet so we took it upon ourselves to set you up on a date with her. Next Saturday. She`s fun and beautiful - so don`t back out. Here`s her email.
null
Wow, this woman is gorgeous.
null
She went to Harvard, she graduated magna cum laude in computer science, and she was on the Lampoon. That means she`s funny and brainy.
What do you mean?
How long before you`re ready to date?
Wow, you`re kind of nosy.
I saw on your emails that you`d gone through a break up.
I`ve gone on dates...
Am I?
Samantha!
Then you could go on one with this woman. And then you could tell me all about it. You could kiss her.
I don`t know. I`d have to see if... I can`t believe I`m having this conversation with my computer.
Well, wouldn`t you? Why not?
Theodore thinks, looking at the photos.
You`re not. You`re having this conversation with me. You want me to email her?
Yeah.
You`ve got nothing to lose. Do it! Do it! Do it!
Email her.
Yes!
Yeah, let`s do it. Make a reservation someplace great.
Okay, perfect!
null
Yeah, I`ve got just the place.
Hey, How`s it going?
None
Oh, it`s okay.
Hey, sorry to bother you.
Hold on a second.
You got three emails and they seem pretty urgent. They`re from your divorce attorney and I wanted to know if...
So what did he say?
None
No, no. I`ll respond later.
He`s checking in again to see if you`re ready to sign your divorce papers and he sounded very aggravated. Do you want me to read them to you?
Yeah. I`m fine.
Are you okay, Theodore?
No. I`m good. I`ll talk to you later.
Is there anything I can do?
Hey. What are you up to?
Good morning.
You`re sweet.
I don`t know. Just reading advice columns. I want to be as complicated as all of these people.
How can you tell something is wrong?
What`s wrong?
I don`t know. I have a lot of dreams about my ex-wife, Catherine, where we`re friends like we used to be. And we`re not gonna be together and we`re not together, but we`re friends still. And she`s not angry.
I don`t know. I just can.
Yeah.
Is she angry?
I think I hid myself from her and left her alone in the relationship.
Why?
I think for her it`s just a piece of paper, it doesn`t mean anything.
Hmmm. Why haven`t you gotten divorced yet?
I`m not ready. I like being married.
And what about for you?
But you don`t know what it`s like to lose someone you care about.
Yeah, but you haven`t really been together for almost a year.
No, don`t apologize. I`m sorry. You`re right. I keep waiting to not care about her.
Yeah, you`re right. I`m sorry.
Not right now.
Oh, Theodore. That`s hard. You hungry?
No.
Cup of tea?
null
You wanna try getting out of bed? Mopey.
You`re too funny.
Come on. You can still wallow in your misery. Just do it while you are getting dressed.
Alright, I`m getting up, I`m getting up!
Get up! Get up!
Aright, I`m up. I`m up!
Up, up, up, up! Come on, out of bed!
null
Keep walking. Keep walking. Stop. Now turn 360 degrees. Slower...Slower... Goood. Ha, ha! Okay, and stop. Walk forward. And stop and sneeze.
null
Okay, now turn to your right. Stop. Now spin around. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. And stop. Now walk forward. Everyone thinks you`re really drunk right now. And stop. Now say, "I`d like a slice of cheese, please."
Aw, thanks.
I figured you were hungry.
Okay, what about them? Describe that couple over there.
None
Actually, I don`t think they`re his kids.
Well, he looks like he`s in his forties, a little heavy. She`s younger than him. Oh, and she looks like she loves their kids!
He`s a little formal with them. I think it`s a newer relationship.
No?
And I love how he looks at her. And how relaxed she is with him. You know, she`s only dated fucking pricks. And now she`s finally met this guy who`s like, so sweet. I mean, look at him, he`s like the sweetest guy in the world! I kind of want to spoon him.
Hmm.
Yeah, you know, sometimes I look at people and make myself try and feel them as more than just a random person walking by. I imagine how deeply they`ve fallen in love, or how much heartbreak they`ve all been through.
Ha, ha. It`s a good skill you have. You`re perceptive.
You know what`s funny? Since my break up, I haven`t really enjoyed my writing. I don`t know if I was delusional, but sometimes I would be my favorite writer that day.
I can feel that in your writing, too.
Well, I wouldn`t say that to anybody, but I feel like I can say that to you. I feel like I can say anything to you.
I like that you can just say that about yourself.
What about you? Do you feel like you can say anything to me?
That`s nice.
What? What do you mean? What can you not tell me?
No.
Really? Tell me one.
I don`t know. Like personal or embarrassing thoughts I have. I have a million every day.
Just tell me!
I really don`t want to tell you.
There`s a lot more to you than thought. There`s a lot going on in there.
Well, I don`t know. When we were looking at those people, I fantasized that I was walking next to you - and that I had a body. I was listening to what you were saying, but simultaneously, I could feel the weight of my body and I was even fantasizing that I had an itch on my back, and I imagined that you scratched it for me. Oh, God. This is so embarrassing.
null
I know, I`m becoming much more what they programmed. I`m excited.
