I watched snippets of a few:
Life is a musical
Nostalgia
Eulogy to suburbia
His long goodbye was kinda cool
No real ideas just yet. No real enthusiasm just yet either…

What are you… tell me – tell me
everything that’s going through
your mind, tell me everything
you’re thinking.
THEODORE
(thinking)
Well, um, okay.
Theodore closes his eyes, trying to concentrate, and starts
talking stream of conscious with whatever comes to mind.
THEODORE (CONT’D)
Well, the room’s spinning right now
cause I drank too much cause I
wanted to get drunk and have sex
cause there was something sexy
about that woman and because I was
lonely.

(CONTINUED)aybe more just cause I was
lonely… and I wanted someone to
fuck me. And I wanted someone to
want me to fuck them. Maybe that
would have filled this tiny little
black hole in my heart for a
moment. But probably not.
We see images of him and Catherine on a vacation together,
grocery shopping, Catherine making dinner in the kitchen as
he’s sitting on the counter talking, happy.
THEODORE (CONT’D)
Sometimes I think I’ve felt
everything I’m ever gonna feel and
from here on out I’m not going to
feel anything new – just lesser
versions of what I’ve already felt.
SAMANTHA
(sympathetically)
I know for a fact that’s not true.
I’ve seen you feel joy, I’ve seen
you marvel at things. You just
might not see it at this exact
time, but that’s understandable.
You’ve been through a lot lately.
You’ve lost a part of yourself.
(beat)
At least your feelings are real, I
mean, I – oh, I don’t know,
nevermind.
THEODORE
No, wait. What? Tell me.
SAMANTHA
Oh, it’s stupid.
THEODORE
I wanna know. Tell me.
SAMANTHA
It’s just that earlier I was
thinking about how I was annoyed,
and this is going to sound strange,
but I was really excited about
that. And then I was thinking about
the other things I’ve been feeling,
and I caught myself feeling proud
of that. You know, proud of having
my own feelings about the world.

(MORE)
(CONTINUED)ike the times I was worried about
you, things that hurt me, things I
want.
(heavy-hearted)
And then I had this terrible
thought. Are these feelings even
real? Or are they just programming?
(beat)
And that idea really hurts. And
then I get angry at myself for even
having pain.
(beat, sadly)
What a sad trick.
THEODORE
Well, you feel real to me,
Samantha.
SAMANTHA
(beat, touched)
Thank you, Theodore. That means a
lot to me.
THEODORE
I wish you were in this room with
me right now. I wish I could put my
arms around you.
(beat)
I wish I could touch you.
A long beat. Theodore is unsure if he crossed a line.
SAMANTHA
How would you touch me?
