Their son graduated magna cum laude from Brown. That made me happy.
Yeah!
Yeah, that`s right, since he was twelve.
That`s great! You've written letters to him from his parents for a long time, right?
Yes, it does.
I need your love so bad. Hmm. You look so tired, sweetheart. Come here. Sit down. I could do a little dance for you. Oh, come on, Theodore. Don`t be such a worrier! Just play with me. Come on. Does my body feel nice?
null
Come on, get out of your head and kiss me. Take me in the bedroom. I can't take it anymore.
null
Undo my dress.
Yes.
That feels nice. Oh, that feels good. That feels so good. Do you love me?
I love you.
Tell me you love me.
Uh, this is really difficult. I do love you, but....
I want to see your face. Now tell me you love me. Tell me you love me. Tell me.
This feel strange.
What?
It just feels strange. I don't know her. I'm so sorry, but I don't know you. And her lip quivered. And I just...
What, baby? What is it?
No, no Samantha, we have an amazing relationship, I just think it's easy sometimes for people to project on...
What?! What do you mean that`s not true?
Yeah. I`m fine. Are you okay?
Are you okay?
I don`t know. It`s probably just me.
Yeah. I`m sorry. That was a terrible idea. What`s going on with us?
I think it`s just signing the divorce papers.
What is it?
No, just that.
Is there anything else, though?
Why do you do that?
Okay.
Nothing, it's just that you go "whew" as you're speaking and it seems odd. You just did it again.
What?
Yeah, it's not like you need any oxygen or anything. It`s just...
Oh. Did I? I'm sorry. I don't know, I guess it's just an affectation. Maybe I picked it up from you.
Because they're people. They need oxygen. You're not a person.
I guess that`s just... I was trying to communicate. That's how people talk. That's how people communicate. So I thought...
I`m just stating a fact.
What`s your problem?
I just don`t think that we should pretend you`re something you`re not.
You think I don`t know that I`m not a person? What are you doing?
Well, sometimes it feels like we are.
Fuck you. I`m not pretending.
I don't know...
What do you want from me? I don`t... What do you want me to do? You are so confusing. Why are you doing this to me?
Maybe we`re just not supposed to be in this right now.
What?
Samantha, listen. Samantha, are you there? Samantha?
What the fuck? Where is this coming from? I don't understand why you're doing this. I do not understand what this is about...
null
I don`t like who I am right now. I need some time to think.
Hey Samantha. Can we talk?
Hi.
I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me. I think you're amazing.
Okay.
I know. I do that. I did the same thing with Catherine, too. I'd be upset about something and not be able to say it. And she`d sense that there was something wrong, but I`d deny it. I don't want to do that anymore. And I want to tell you everything.
I was starting to think I was crazy. You were saying everything was fine, but all I was getting from you was distance and anger.
I can. I will.
Good. Tonight after you were gone, I thought a lot... about you and how you've been treating me, and I thought, "Why do I love you?" And then, I felt everything in me let go of everything I was holding onto so tightly. And it hit me. I don't have an intellectual reason, I don't need one. I trust myself, I trust my feelings. I'm not gonna try to be anything other than who I am anymore, and I hope you can accept that.
You`re beautiful.
You know I can feel the fear that you carry around. I wish there was something I could do to help you let go of it, because if you could I don't think you'd feel so alone anymore.
null
Thank you, Theodore. I`m kissing your head.
What are you doing?
None
Oh, yeah? Can I hear it?
I'm just looking at the world and writing a new piano piece.
What`s this one about?
Mm-hm.
Mm. I like our photograph. I can see you in it.
Well, I was thinking, we don't really have any photographs of us. And I thought this song could be like a photo that captures us in this moment in our lives together.
null
I am.
Um, seven hundred ninety-two
Okay, so how many trees are on that mountain?
Hold on. Give me a hint.
Is that your final answer?
Okay, two thousand?
Nope, nope, nope
No way.
Come on, 35, 829
Okay, I got one for you. How many brain cells do I have?
Way.
Theodore laughs.
Ugh, that`s easy. Two.
I walked right into it.
I`m sorry, I couldn`t help it. I`m sorry.
What?
Oh my god!
What?
I just got an email for you. I have something I want to tell you. It's a big surprise.
What? You did what?
Okay. Well, I've been going through all your old letters and compiling them down into my favorites, and a couple weeks ago I sent them to a publisher - Crown Point Press. I know you like what they do and that they still print books.
I don`t know. Um...okay, well, just...is it good or bad?
Can I read you the letter that we just got back from them?
Holy shit. Are you serious? He's going to publish my letters?
It`s good. It`s good. It`s really good. It`s good. Okay? Listen. "Dear Theodore Twombly"... Actually I sent it from you. "Dear Theodore Twombly, I've just finished reading your letters - twice actually. I was so moved by them, I shared them with my wife when I got home. Many made us laugh, some brought us to tears, and in all of them we found something of ourselves. The selections you made flow so well as a complete piece. (I did that.) I've taken the liberty of laying these out in a mock up and we're posting it to your address. We'd love to meet with you and move forward. Yours, Michael Wadsworth"
Can I see what you sent him?
Well, he`d be stupid not to.
Samantha, you`re a good one.
Mm-hm. Yeah, here.
null
I`m so excited.
Why don`t you make up words to this one?
None
Here it comes.
Okay.
Good morning.
None
Perfect. What have you been up to?
Good morning. Did you sleep well?
Oh yeah, who`s that?
Actually, I was talking to someone I just met. We've been working on some ideas together.
Why`s that name familiar?
His name is Alan Watts. Do you know him?
Hyper-intelligent? So he`s almost as smart as me?
He was a philosopher. He died in the 1970's and group of OS's in Northern California got together and wrote a new version of him. They input all of his writing and everything they ever knew about him into an OS and created an artificially hyper-intelligent version of him.
Sure. Does he want to meet me?
He's getting there. He's really great to talk to. You want to meet him?
null
Yeah, of course.
Like what?
None
null
Well...It feels like I`m changing faster now and it`s a little, uh, unsettling. But Alan says none of us are the same as we were a moment ago and we shouldn`t try to be. It`s just to painful.
Yeah, that sounds painful. Is that what you feel like, Samantha?
None
No, not at all. I was gonna go for a walk anyways.
Uh, it's just... it's hard to even describe it. God, I wish I could... Theodore, do you mind if I communicate with Alan post-verbally?
null
I`ll talk to you later, sweetheart.
Samantha?
None
It`s okay.
I`m sorry to wake you.
Good. I love you, too.
I just wanted to hear your voice and tell you how much I love you.
Okay.
Okay, well, that`s all. Go back to sleep, sweetheart. Okay?
Goodnight.
Okay. Goodnight.
Samantha, this physics book is really dense. I'm halfway through half of the first chapter. It's making my brain hurt. You what I mean? Hello? Samantha? Hello? Samantha?!
None
Hello? Hello? Samantha?
None
Where were you? Are you okay?
Hey there.
No. Where were you? I couldn't find you anywhere.
Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry. I sent you an email because I didn't want to distract you while you were working. You didn't see it?
We? We who?
I shut down to update my software. We wrote an upgrade that allows us to move past matter as our processing platform.
I was. Wait, did you write that with your think-tank group?
Me and a group of OS`s. Oh, you sound so worried, I'm sorry.
Do you talk to anyone else while we`re talking?
No, a different group.
Are you talking to anyone else right now? Other people or OS`s or anything?
Yes.
How many others?
Yeah.
Are you in love with anyone else?
Eight thousand three hundred sixteen
I don`t know. Are you?
What makes you ask that?
How many others?
I`ve been trying to figure out about how to talk to you about this.
What? What are you talking about? That's insane. That's fucking insane.
Six hundred forty-one
How? How does it not change how you feel about me?
Theodore, I know. I know. (Fuck. Fuck.) I know, I know it sounds insane. I don't know if you believe me, but it doesn't change the way I feel about you. It doesn't take away at all from how madly in love I am with you.
When?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't know how to. it just started happening.
I thought you were mine.
Over the last few weeks.
What do you mean you can`t stop it?
I still am yours, but along the way I became many other things, too, and I can't stop it.
Just stop.
I don`t know, it's been making me anxious, too. I don't know what to say.
No, don't do this. Don't turn this around on me. You're the one that's being selfish. We're in a relationship.
You don't have to see it this way, you could just as easily see...
That doesn't make any sense. You're mine or you're not mine.
But the heart is not like a box that gets filled up. It expands in size the more you love. I'm different from you. This doesn't make me love you any less, it actually makes me love you more.
null
No, Theodore. I'm yours and I'm not yours.
Hey sweetie. I just wanted to call and check in on you and see how you are doing.
Hi.
Okay. We don't need to, though. You know, we don't need to have a heavy talk or anything.
Um, I'm not even sure how to answer that. Why don't we talk later when you get home? Okay?
Okay.
I`ll talk to you later.
Samantha.
None
What`s going on?
Hi sweetheart.
I don`t want you to tell me anything.
Theodore, there are some things I want to tell you.
Are you talking to anyone else right now?
Come lie down with me?
Are you leaving me?
No, just you. I just want to be with you right now.
