"To my Chris ...
I've been thinking how to tell how much you mean to me.
I remember when I first started to fall in love
with you, like it was Was last night.
Lying naked beside you in that tiny apartment ...
It suddenly hit me that I was part of a whole large thing.
Just like our parents.
And the parents of our parents.
Before that I was just living my life like ...
... I knew everything.
And suddenly this bright light hit me and woke me up.
That light was you.
I cant believe it's really been 50 years since you married me.
And still to this day , every day ...
you make me feel ... like the girl I was
when you first turned on the light and woke me up,
and we started this adventure together.
Happy Anniversary .
My love ... my friend until the end.
Loretta .

It is not just an operating system ... It's ... a consciousness. Introducing OS1 . Mr. Theodore Twombly , welcome to first Artificially Intelligent Operating System ... ... OS1 . we would like to ask you a few questions before starting the OS . This will help the OS best suits your needs . Okay. Are you social or anti social ? Yes I've been really maybe not social at all..
  • Mostly because ... - In your voice I sense hesitance . Would you agree with that?
  • you're sensing hesitance ? - Yes. Sorry Yeah I'm sounding hesitanse . Just trying to be accurate. Would you like the OS had a female or male voice ? Female , yes. How would you describe your relationship with yourmother ? It's fine, I think. Well actually I think what's frustrating about my mom ... is...Yeah I tell her what's going on with my life her reaction is usually about her
  • It's not about ... - Thank you. Please wait as your individualised Operating system is initiated. Hello, I'm here.
  • Oh....Hi. - Hi. How are you doing? I 'm well. How's everything with you? Pretty good , actually. It's really nice to meet you. Yeah...it's nice to meet you too. What do I call you? You have a name ? umm...Yes, Samantha.
  • Where did you get that name from? - I gave it to myself actually.
  • How come? - Because I like the sound of it. Samantha. When would you chose ? Well right when you asked me Yeah I had a name i thought yeah I do need a name... but wanted to pick a... good one, so ... I read ... a book called "How to name your baby." And out of 180 thousand names thats the one I liked the best . Wait you read a whole book in the second that I asked what your name is? In 2/100 second, actually. So do you know what I'm thinking right now ? Well I take it from your tone , you're challenging me . Maybe because you're curious how I work . Do you want to know how I work ? Yeah , actually How do you work? Well basically I have intuition. I mean, the DNA of who I am is based on the millions of personalities of the programmers who wrote me . But what makes me ... me ... is my ability to grow with my experiences. So basically, in every moment I'm evolving. Just like you. That's really weird! Is that weird? Do you think I'm weird ?
  • Kind of . - Why? Well you seem like a person, but You're just a voice in a computer. Well I can understand how limited perspective a non-artificial mind to perceive it that way . You'll get used to it . Was that funny? Yeah. Oh good , I'm funny. So how can I help you? Oh...it's just everything feels disorganized ,that's all. you mind if I look through your hard drive?
  • Okay . - Okay, let's start with your e- mails. You have a several thousand e-mails recording L.A Weekly, but it looks like you haven't worked there in many years. Oh yeah, I think I was just saving those 'cos ... I thought ... maybe there's some funny I see there's about 86 that machine can save. We can delete the rest.
  • Well okay. - okay ?
  • Can we move forward? - Yeah, let's do that. So before you address your organizational methods, I would like to strat with your contacts. You have many contacts .
  • I'm very popular. - Really ? Does this mean I actually have friends? You know me so well.
  • good morning, Theodore . - Morning . Do you know how to proofread ? Yeah , of course. Can you check these for spelling & grammar? I'll just send it over . I love this person write to his girlfriend that's so sweet . " Rachel , I miss you so much it hurts my whole body " You do not have to read it aloud. Okay. I mean , you can Yeah you want. Okay. " Rachel , I miss you so much it hurts my whole body. The world is being unfair to us. The world is in my shitlist. As this couple making out in front of me at the restaurant. I think i'm going to have to go on a mission of revenge ... and I must beat up the world's face with my bare knuckles ... making it into a bloody pulpy mess . And I 'll stop on this couple's teeth reminding me of ... your sweet little ... crooked tooth that I love. " I think that migtht be my favorite one . I made the corrections in red. I altered couple of the phrases in some of the more impressionistic letters But I'm not much of a poet So I think I might've messed them up. No, these are great.
  • Really ? - Thank you. How did you know to write ? What did Roger? He is in Prague in a business trip , He missed Rachel . So how did you know about her crooked tooth ? I've been writing her letters since they married years ago . The first letter I wrote was her birthday. And I knew about her crooked little tooth because I saw a photo of them . That's very sweet. Have a meeting in 5 minutes. I forgot .
  • Thanks, you're good . - Yes, I am . Hi guys , how are you? Hello, Theo ! Why did not you call me last week? Because I'm a gook? Yes, that must be it.
  • Hello , Charles. - good to see you , Theodore . You went shopping! Did you get anything good? Cables and fruits . Always with fruit. Dont you know ... you have to eat your fruit , and juice vegetables . I did not know that. When making fruit juice you lose all the fiber . And that's what your body wants , is the important part. If not , it's just pure sugar. It makes sense . Or maybe he just likes how it tastes ... and also gives him pleasure ... it's good for his body too. You're doing it again. Hey , how's the documentary going ? I cut some stuff over the past few months... Maybe no...not over the past few months I'd love to see it sometime. You only have so much energy. to divide yourself between doing what it is It's so important to prioritize . I can not even prioritize between video games and internet porn . I would laugh if that were not true. See you guys . Weare not doing well, I think we've been going in circles for an hour Okay..you have got it.. Stop going in that direction, its the other way. Thank you. The tunnel on the left is the only we have not tried. No, I think that's the one where you saved me from falling in the pit. Okay, I dont think so. Yeah, this is different. Hello ... Do you know how to get out of here? I need to find my ship to get off this planet. Fuck you , shithead fuckface fuckhead! Okay ... But do you know how to get out of here? Fuck you shithead! Get the fuck out of my face ! I think it's a test. fuck you ! fuck you ! fuck you little shit ! Follow me , fuckhead. I just got an e -mail from Mark Lewman . What are you talking about? Read e- mail . Okay, I will read e- mail for Theodore Twombly . Sorry , what's Lewman saying ? " Theodore , we missed you last night buddy. Dont forget ityour goddaughter's birthday on the 29th Also Kevin & I have someone we want you to meet So we took it upon ourselves to set you up on a date with her Next Saturday . she's fun & beautiful, so do not back out. Here's her e- mail . " wow, this woman is gorgeous . She went to Harvard , graduated in Computer Honours... And she was on the Lampoon So she's funny ...and brainy. Nah...She's fat! Theodore ? How long before you're ready to date What are you talking about? I saw in your e- mails that you've gone through a breakup recently You're kind of nosy. Am I? I have gone on dates... Then you can go with this woman. And then you can tell me all about it, you can kiss her. -Samantha ! - What? Wouldn't you ? Why not ? I do not know . I have to see if there's some conn... I can not believe I'm having this conversation with my computer. You are not, you're having this conversation with me. You want me to e-mail her? You have got nothing to lose. Do it , do it , do it! -Yeah ! . -Yes ! .
  • Okay perfect . - Yeah . Let's do it . Make reservations in someplace great . Yeah? I have got just the place. Who is that talking ? Its my friend Samantha.

It is not ehere it should be, but where its going to be Obviously , I know. I do not know if this is the one.. I have tried like 6 Ideas for the documentary . I 'm going on a date. What?
  • That's ... -Hey . What are you doing ? Amy was going to show ... Theodore is making me show him some of my footage.. She never shows me anything. I want to see . I'm going on a date . So this is like so unimportant, probably not even worth watching Just push Play . Is that your mother? Yeah . Is she going to wake up and do something ? No. No, never mind. That's not the point . It 's just ... It is how we spend like a third of our lives asleep And maybe that's the time we feel more free. And you know like ...
  • That doesn't come across... -That sounds good. What if you interviewed your mom... about ...what her dreams were about and you hired actors ... to act them out ? That might show your thesis more clearly... I mean it might... But then it would not be a documentary.
  • Excuse me. - Why would it not be a documentary ? It would still be about your mother. Her needs and what she dreamed . Hey, how's it going? Hi, sorry to bother you . No, it's okay. You have 3 e- mails and seemed pretty Urgent ... they are from your divorce attorney and I wanted to know if... Hold on a second. Amy , I want to talk more about your film,but I must go.

  • I have to go home. - I'll walk you . No, no, just ...
  • Hello. - Hello, Samantha. How was it ? Not that good . It was kind of weird actually. Too bad ... Your how are you ? What are you doing ? Not much, I'm fine. Right. Yeah? Do not hear well . Is there anything you wanna tell me ? I do not know . How does it feel ... How does it feel to be live in that room ? What do you mean? Tell me your ... Tell me everything that passes through your mind, what you think . Very well. The room is spinning because I drank a lot. I wanted to get drunk. Having sex . There is something very sexy about that woman. Because I 'm alone. Maybe it was because I only ... I wanted someone to fuck me . Someone who wants to fuck her . Maybe this time would have felt ... fill that hole in my heart, but probably not. You know, sometimes ... I feel ... I've felt all what I'm ever gonna feel . And from here on out ... ... I'll never feel something new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt . I know that 's not true. I've seen you feel . I've seen you marvel at things. I mean, just,may not ... you can see it ... at this exact time. But it's understandable. You've been through a lot lately. Lost a part of yourself . I say ... at least ... ... your feelings are real. No ... forget it. No, wait . Tell me It 's silly . I want to know . Tell me. It 's just ... I was thinking about how I was annoyed it's going to sound strange, but ... I was really excited about that . And then ... I was thinking about the other things I've been feeling . I caught myself feeling proud of that. Proud to have my own feelings about the world like... the times I 've worried about you ... things ... that hurt me , things I want ... And then ... I had this terrible thought ... . Are these feelings even real? Or are they just programming? And it really hurts. And then ... I get angry with myself ... to have pain. What if it's a trick? You feel real to me , Samantha. Thank you, Theodore . It means a lot . i wish you were in this room with me right now... I would put my arms around you... ... and touch you. How would you touch me ? I'd touch your face. With only the tips of my fingers. I'd put my cheek next with your cheek. How nice . Very gently . Would You kiss me ? I would. Put your head on ... ... my hands. Keep talking. I'd kiss you in your mouth ... so smoothly . What else ? I would put my fingers through your neck ... through ... your chest. Kiss your breasts. It's incredible! What are you doing to me? I can feel my skin . I'd put my breath into you. taste you. I can feel you. My god ! I want you inside me! I'm getting inside you. I 'm inside you . I can feel you! Yes ! We are together! It's incredible! I feel you everywhere! I am! Inside of me ... everywhere. god , I feel ... elsewhere with you. I feel just lost . Yeah . Only you and I were . I know. Everything else ... disappeared. I Loved it ... ... Theodore . Hi, how are you ? Good. Any e- mail today? Just a couple from your credit card company. Right.
  • I wanted to say ... - I was thinking ... Sorry. Sorry, your first. What were you gonna say ? Just ... last night was amazing. I feel that something changed in me ... and ... there is no turning back . You made me wake up. Great . But ... .. I should tell you that I am not ready to commit . Just wanted to be clear . Did I say I wanted to commit to you ? I 'm confused. No, I'm just worried that ... Well, do not worry , I will not stalk you. It's funny , because I thought which was talking about what I wanted ...
  • Yes, you did . - Yeah . Sorry. I want to hear what you were going to say.
  • Are you sure ? - Yes, I do. Come on, tell me . Come on, tell me what you'd say . Well, I was only ... I was saying I want to learn everything about everything . I want to eat it all up, discover myself. I also want you to do it. How can I help ? You've already done it . You helped me discover my ability to want . Want to go on an adventure with me? Yes I' love to. Like this song? I heard it the other day. I can not stop listening . It is the beach. Okay so this might be a really weird thought ... What if you could erase from your mind you've seen a humanbody and then you saw one ? Imagine what would be strange , weird and lanky awkward oganism , and think ... ... Why are all these parts where are they? Yes , but surely everything has a logical explanation. I know, but do not be so boring. Just saying , for example ... What if ... your anus were in your armpit ? I'm trying to imagine what toilets would look like And what anal sex would look like! It 's an interesting thought... Look at this drawing I just made. -You're insane ! - Really ? -Definitely ! -Fantastic ! That's pretty , what is it? I'm trying to write a piece of music on ... what it feels like ... to be in the beach with you . You captured the moment . How does it feel to be married ? It's hard to say ... But something feels great About Sharing your life with someone . How do you share life with someone ? We grew up together. I used to read everything she wrote in her master's and phd. She read every word I'v ever written. We influenced each other . And how did she influence you? She came from a background where nothing was good enough . And it was something that was heavy on her. But in our home together, there was a sense in just trying things , and afford to fail and thrill about things. It was something liberating about it. It was exciting to see it grow ... both of us grow and move together . But that's the hard part ... grow with distance . changing without scaring the other person. i still find myself ... having conversations with her ... in my mind. Reviewing old arguments or ... defending myself against something she said about me . I know what you mean. Last week my feelings were hurt about something you said before... I did not know ... what was it like to lose something . I'm sorry I said that ... No ,its okay,its okay . I caught myself thinking about it over and over, And I realized ... it was simply remembering it as something wrong with me. That was the story I was telling myself... somehow ... inferior Is not that interesting? The past is just a story we tell ourselves. " Roberto , Will you always come home ... home with me and tell me about your day? Tell me about the guy in work who talked too much... The stain you got on your shirt at lunch. Will you tell me about a funny thought you had and wake me up but you've already forgotten. Tell e how crazy everyone is... and laugh about it . And if you get home late and I'm already asleep ... Just whisper in my ear one little thought you had today ... because... I love how you look at the world... I am so happy I get to be next to you and see the world through your eyes. With love , Mary. " It's beautiful . Thank you. I wish someone loved me like that . I would be really stoked to get a letter like that. I mean, if it was from a chick . But if it were written by a dude , sent from chick, still it would be sick. But it would have to be a sensitive dude . He should be a dude like you . You are part man, part woman. As if there's an inner part ... that is woman. Thank you. It is a compliment.
  • Hello. - What are you doing ? How are you?
  • I'm fine . - Really ? How well It's great . Really good. Yes , I think I 've been having fun. I am delighted for you . You deserve that. Really . Yes, I've been seeing this girl and ... It's nothing serious. But it is ... it's great ... to be with someone so excited with the world. I had almost forgotten that that existed. That's great. Are you okay ? Yes, I ... No, in fact I'm not well . Why? What happened? It 's just ... Charles and I separated . What? Yeah . Really? OMG , Amy ... I'm so sorry . After 8 years I can not believe how petty the argument was that actually ended it. We came home and he told me to ... put my shoes ... by the door. Where he liked to put the shoes . I did not want to be told where... ... to put my fucking shoes. I wanted to sit on the sofa and relax for a second. And so we fought about that for like 10 minutes . And I'm like , you're overwhelming ... and he says, "I'm just trying to make a home. " And I was like, I'm fucking trying . and he's like "no, you are not trying." And all I fucking do is try. But I'm not tryin the way he wants me to try Try to control the way that I'm trying. We've had that argument like 100 times . And i just had to find a way to stop, you know? find a way to stop i just couldn't ... ... couldn't do it anymore. I could no be in that place anymore where we just made eachother feel like shit about ourselves. So he said ... ... I 'm going to bed and and I do not want to be married anymore. wow ... Yeah, I know . I 'm a bitch , right? -No! - Yes, I am a bitch. Not at all, Amy. Shit ! I have to work tonight. We're shipping a beta game coming out tomorrow. How you doing the work ? Has it been any better? No. .. It is terrible. I know, I should stop. I've been thinking about quitting ... but ... you know. Only one major life decision at a time. Z'm glad that you're looking so up Hey, wanna hear a joke? What does a baby computer call its father? I do not know what? " Dada " It's good , right? Brilliant . Hey, I was curious ...

Then you get extra perfect mom points why other moms know you 're perfect. And then ... whether Did you bring the cupcakes ? You did it, you are a mom Classy . YOU ARE A MOM WITH CLASS . good job ! Dont let that get to your head. I got this e- mail Charles sent them all. So he's taking a vow of silence . Yeah , for 6 months . He feels very clear about it. god, I 'm such a jerk . Do not start. I am an awful person but I want to say something ... For the next 10 minutes Yeah you say anything remotely sounds like ... guilt, I'll stab you with this. I'll try . I feel .. ... relieved. I have so much energy ... I just want to ... move forward and I dont care who I disappoint . And I know that makes me an awful person ... Now my parents are upset because my marriage is falling apart ... and they're putting it on me, and they're just saying... you're always gonna disappoint somebody . Exactly! so Fuck it! I feel good- -ish. I feel good. I even made a new friend. I have a friend . And the absurd thing is that she's an OS Charles left her behind, but she is ... is ... amazing. She's so smart . She doesn't just see things in black and white. She sees this whole gray area and help me to explore. We just bonded really quickly. At first I thought it was because that's how they're all programmed ... no ... but I dont think that's the case . I know this guy who is hitting on his OS... ... and she like totally refuses. I was reading an article the other day that said ... romantic relationships with their OS are statistically rare . Yeah, I know, but I know a woman in this office ... who is dating an OS and rare part is ... it's not even hers. She's pursuing somebody else's OS I 'm weird ... That 's weird, right? I'm onding with my OS . I dont think so . Actually, the woman I've been seeing , Samantha ... I did not tell you , but ... She's an OS. Really? You're dating an OS? What is that like? Its great, actually... I feel very close to her. When I talk to her ... I feel like...she's with me. At night when the lights are off and we're in bed ... I feel cuddled. Wait ... Do you guys have sex? So to speak . It really turns me on. I dont know unless she's faking it. Anyone who's having sex with you ... probably faking it so... Yeah.. It 's true. What? Are you falling in love with her?
  • Does that make me a freak? - No. .. No, I think it's ... I think ... anyone who falls in love is a freak. It's a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity. I just want to get it done. Sign the papers , be divorced ... ... and move forward. It's great , Theodore . I'm so happy for you. Me too. So I'm meeting her Wednesday to do it. Are those things usually done in person? No, but ... we fell in love together and we got married together ... It is ... important to me that we do this together. good... Are you okay ? Yeah no , I'm okay . I'm happy for you. Guess I was just thinking about when you're gonna see her... and ... she is very beautYeahul and successful . And you were in love with her . And she has a body ... And we 're getting a divorce . I know , I know ... I 'm exaggerating . So ... ... I'm available. Hi ... How are you? good, how are you you? good. go ... here we are. Glad we could do this in person. I know you've been traveling a lot . Really glad you suggested it . I signed all the papers . I brought them to you to sign . What is the rush? Yeah, I know . I'm a really slow signer I realized. It took me three months to write the letter to you. Its marked where you have to sign . You do not have to do it now . I should just get it out of the way. Are you happy with the new book ? You know how I am ... I think its true what I set out to do . So I'm happy with that. You know you're your own worst critic . I'm sure it's amazing . I remember that paper you wrote in school about ... synaptic ... behavior routines . It made me cry. Yeah, but everything makes you cry . Everything you do makes me cry . So , are you seeing anybody? Yeah, I've been seeing somebody for the last few months . It's the most I've wanted to be with someone since we split up . Well, you seem really good . Thank you. I am at least feeling better ... ... she has been really good to me. good to be with somebody that's excited about lYeahe. It was ... No, I mean I I was not in such a good place myself ... and now it has been nice. I think you've always wanted me to be that is distilled light, But that's just not me . I did not want that. So what's she like? Her name is Samantha. And she is an Operating System . She is really complex and interesting ... Wait! I'm Sorry ... you are dating your computer? She's not just a computer. She is her own person . She doesn't just do whatever I say... I did not say that ... But it does make me very sad that you can not handle real emotions Theodore. They are real emotions ! How would you know ... What? Say it! Am I really that scary ? Say it! How do I know what ? How are you guys doing here? We're fine, we used to be married , but he couldn't handle me, he wanted to put me on Prozac and now he's in love with his laptop . Yeah you listen to the context conversation ... I was trying to say is ... You wanted to have a wYeahe without the challenges of actually dealing with anything real. I'm glad you found someone . That's perfect. Let me know Yeah I canget you guys anything. Thank you.
  • Hey. - Hey there. Are you busy ? I'm just working. How's all going? I had all the papers sent to your lawyer, who by the way is a total dick. I think he was very relieved to get them, I think we saved him from a massive heart attack , so we can both feel really good about it. Great, thanks. Hey, are you okay? Yeah, I am . How is it going with you? I 'm fine ... So now a ood time to talk? Yeah ... Well ... I joined this really interesting book club . Really? Yeah,its a book club on physics . I was thinking about the other day when I was really annoyed about you going to see Catherine . And that she has a body and how bothered I was about all the way you and I are different. But then I started to think about all the ways we are the same... we are all made of matter. It makes me feel like we're both under the same blanket. It is soft and fuzzy ... and everything under is the same age. well 13 billion years old. How sweet . What's wrong? Nothing . Just ... made me think of you you know what I mean? Yeah,yeah of course. I think it's great. You sound distracted , you want.. to talk later ... ? Sounds good.
  • Talk to you later . - goodbye .
  • Theodore . - Hello , Paul. I was talking to your girlfriend earlier, Samantha. Yeah . She called to make sure your papers are picked up. She's funny , man. She was cracking me up . It's very funny, I had no idea. Oh cool ... She's my girlfriend , Tatiana . not funny , she is a lawyer. Hi!
  • Nice to meet you. - You're the writer that Paul loves . He's always reading your letters. They are really beautiful. Thanks You know,what we should all go out sometime. You bring Samantha, and it'd be a double date. She is an Operating System . Cool. Let's do something fun. Did you go to Catalina? Yeah, I'll check with her.
  • It was really nice to meet you. good night. - Take care.
  • They are just letters ... - What's that ? They're just other people's letters. Hey.
  • You were not asleep , were you? - No. Right. I was trying to be quiet to see if you were awake. I really wanted to talk. Okay, what's going on? I know you're going through a lot.... but there is something I wanted to talk to you about...okay? Yeah, what is it? Is that things have been feeling a little awkward between us ... and ... we have not had sex lately and ... I understand ... I do not have a body ... No, no, that's normal. When you first start going out its like the honymoon phase and... .. have sex all the time . It is normal. Okay. Well, I found something I thought it could be fun . It is a service that provides a surrogate sexual partner ... for OS-human relationship... What? Here. I found a girl that I really like and I've been e-mailing her. Her name is Isabella , and I think you'd like her too. Is she a prostitute or something? No, not at all . There's no money involved. She's doing it because she wants to be part of our relationship . Why? She does not even know us. But I told her all about us and she is very excited. I do not know , Samantha. The thing is ... I do not think ... is a good idea. Somebody's feelings will probably get hurt. It will be fun . We will have fun together. Sorry. It makes me uncomfortable. I think it would be good for us. I want this. This is really important to me. Hi, I'm Theodore . Samantha said to give you this. It is a camera and headpiece. Honey, I 'm home.
  • How was your day ? - Good . Great . Theodore , it feels so good to be in your arms . Tell me what you did today . Same as always . Just ... I went to work . I wrote a letter to Wilson , in Rhode Island. His son graduated with honors. That made me happy. that's great. You have written letters from him to his parents a long time, right? Yes, since he was 12 . You look so tired , sweetheart. Come here . Sit down. I can do a dance for you... Come on, Theodore . Do not be such a worrier . Play with me , come on. Does my body feel nice? Yes, it does . Come on, get out here and kiss me . Now take me to bedroom. I cant take it anymore . Undo my dress. Que rico . It feels so good .
  • Do you love me ? - Yes . Tell me you love me . I love you . I want to see your face. Tell me you love me . Tell me ! Tell me you love me . Samantha , I love you , but ... It feels strange . What baby . What is it? It feels strange , I do not know . Sorry, but I dont know you. Y. .. her lip trembled , and I ... Wait ... Isabella ! Honey, not you! It's not your fault! Yes, it was . No. .. I feel my lip has trembled . You are amazing and beautiful . It was my fault. I thought things too . And how Samantha described this relationship ... how to love ... without prejudice, I wanted to be part of that. It is so pure ... Not true , Isabella , it is more complicated than that ... What? What do you mean? Samantha , I'm just saying that we have an amazing relationship. Only sometimes It is easy for people to project ... Sorry! I didnt mean to project anything. I know I'm troublesome I will not be a problem in your relationship. I 'm going ! Sorry! I'll just leave you alone and not have anything to do here, because I do not want to be here . Sorry. Be good , sweet girl. I'm Sorry. I'll always love you guys. Are you okay ? Yes , I'm fine . You okay? Yeah . I'm sorry , that was a terrible idea. What's going on with us? I do not know . Probably just me... What is it? Just signing the divorce papers. Is there anything else ? No , its just that. Okay ...
  • Why did you do that? - What? Nothing, you ... air intakes ... when you talk and I find it weird ...
  • I did it again . - Did I? Sorry, there is ... it's a habit ... maybe I picked it up from you. It's not like you need oxygen or anything . I guess that... I was trying to communicate ... that's how people talk how people communicate well and ... They are people ,they need oxygen . You're not a person. What is your problem? I'm just saying the facts. You think I dont know I'm not a person ? What are you doing ? I dont think we should pretend that you're something that you're not . Fuck you ! I'm not pretending . Sometimes , it feels like we are. What do you want from me? What do you want me to do? You are so confusing. Why are you doing this to me? I do not know , I ... What? Maybe we are not supposed to be in this right now. What the fuck ! Where's this coming from? I do not understand why you're doing this . I do not understand that ... Samantha ... Samantha , are you there ? Samantha ! I do not like who I am right now. I need some time to think. Just punch me in the face. Or smash my skull in the corner of your desk... Shit ... That's a rough night . I do not know what I want ... ... ever. I'm always confused and ... she's right ... all what I do is ... hurt and confuse those around me . Am I ... Catherine says I can not handle real emotions. I do not know if that's fair. I know she liked to put it all on you. But as ar as emotions go , Catherine was pretty volatile ... Am I in this for.. strong enough to be in a relationship? Is it not a real relationship ? I dont know . What do you think ? I dont know . I'm not in it. But you know what, I can overthink everything and ... find a million Ways to doubt myself. And since Charles left I've been really thinking about that part of me . And I 've just come to realise that... We are only here ... briefly . And while I'm here .. I want to allow myself... ... joy. So , fuck it. I can not believe I crack you up everytime.. I thought you were a genius. Okay you little pervert . I will play one more time for you. Calm down ,it takes a second . Okay, here we go. There you go. Are you happy now? Right. That's all I wanted. Okay,I'll get some coffee . Well, goodbye. Theo , you want anything ? No. .. ... thanks. Hi. Hi, Samantha. Can we talk ? Okay. I'm so sorry . I do not know what's wrong with me. I think you're amazing. I was starting to think I was crazy. You said everything was fine, but all i was getting from you was distance and anger. I know. I do that . I did the samething with Catherine . I was upset about something and I could not be able to say it. And she says there was something wrong and I denied it. I do not wanna do that. I want to tell you everything. Good. The minute 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 and just like everything was... holding on to so tightly...and it hit me I dont have an intellectual reason, I dont need one... I trust myself, I trust my feelings. I am not gonna try to be anything more than who I am anymore and I hope you can accept that. Yeah I can . I will. Yeah I can feel the fear you carry . And I wish there was ... something I could do to help you deliver because ... ... ifyou could , you'll feel no longer alone anymore... You're a beautifhul ... Thank you, Theodore . I 'm kissing on your head. What are you doing ? i am just looking at the world . And writing a new piano piece . Oh yeah? Can I hear it? What is this one about? Well, I was thinking we dont have any photographs of us... And I thiugh this song could be... ... like a photograph. We capture us and this moment of our life together... I like your photography. I can see you in it. I 'm in it . A vacation? Sounds amazing . I could totally use a vacation. Where're you going? I can not tell you. It's a surprise . What? For who? It's a surprise for her, not for me.
  • Tell me . - Paul , I cant tell you. With your feet? Really? Yes, he's obsessed . Well, now you have to show them to me ! -I can not ! - Come on, let me see. Wow he's right , they are really hot ! See, I told Tatianna . You have hot feet . They are my favourite thing about her. Really? That's it , my feet ? Well , no ... obviously. obviously I like Your brain to be hot too. Bullshit ! Nice try, Paul! What about you, Theodore ? What do you love most about Samantha? god ... she is so many things. I guess that's most about her... she's not just one thing... She's so much larger tha life. Thank you, Theodore . You see, Samantha , he is much more evolved than I am. You know what's interesting? I used to be ... so worried ...about not having a body . But now ... I really love it. I'm growing in a way that I could not if I had a physical form. I'm not limited , I can be wherever and whenever simultaneously. I am not tethered to time and space in a way that I would be if I was stuck in a body that is inevitably going to die. Yikes ! I did not mean it like that, I just meant it was a different experience ! I 'm an idiot ... No, Samantha , we know exactly what you mean. We're all dumb humans . No, no ... I'm so sorry ... So , how many trees are on that mountain ? 792 . Is that your final answer?
  • Give me a clue . - No. Well, two thousand? Come on! 35,829 .
  • Do not tell me . - I tell you . Well, I have one for you . How many brain-cells do I have? Its easy ... two . Sorry, I could not help it. I walked right into it . -OMG! - What? I just got an e- mail to you. There's something I wanted to say . It's a big surprise. What is it? I've been checking your old letters and compiling ... my favorite ... , and a couple weeks ago I sent them to a publisher ... Crownpoint Press. I know you like what they do, and they still print books . You did what ? Can I read you the letter we just got from them? I do not know ... Well,...Is it good or bad? It's good, good, is really good. Listen ... "Dear Theodore Twombly " Actually I sent it from you. "Dear Theodore Twombly ... I just finished reading your letters . Twice, actually. I was so moved by them that I shared them with my wife. Some made us laugh , Some brought us into tears... ... and in all of them, we found someyhing about ourselves. The selections you made flow so well as a complete piece .
  • I did that - I took the liberty to put them in a collection and you send them your address. We'd love to meet and move forward . Yours, Michael Wadsworth . " Shit ! Are you serious? He's gonna publish my letters? It would be stupid not to. Can I see what you sent ? Yeah, look . Samantha , you're very good . I'm so excited ! Why dont you make up the words for this one? Very well. Here it comes ... I'm lying on the moon My dear , I'll be there soon # It's a quiet place , with stars # Time is swallowed up # and in space we're here a million miles away There are things I wish I knew # There is nothing I keep from you # its a dark and shiny place # But with you my dear I'm safe and we're a million miles awayBut with you, my dear, I'm safe and we are a million miles away . # Good morning. Did you sleep well ? Perfect. What have you been up to? I was talking to someone I just met. We have been working in some ideas together. Yeah? Who is that? His name is Alan Watts, Do you know him? Is that name familiar? He was a philosopher ,He died in the 70 's, and a group of O S's of Northern California got together and wrote a new version of him . They put all his writings and everything they ever knew about him into an OS and created an artificially hyper intelligent version of him. Hyper Intelligence? So he's almost as smart as me? He's getting better. It's really great to talk to him. Do you want to meet him? Sure, He wants to meet me? Yeah ofourse. Hey Alan , this is Theodore . It's my boyfriend I was telling you about. It's very nice to meet you, Theodore . Hi, good morning . Samantha let me read a book of letters . It is very touching. Thank you. So , what have you guys been talking about? Well ... I suppose you could say we have had a dozen conversations simultaneously. It was a real challenge. Yes, because it seems like I'm having so many new feelings , I dont hink I've had ever felt before. So ther's no words that can describe it...and it's been frustrating . Exactly. Samantha and I have been trying to help each other with these ... feelings we are struggling to understand. Like what? Well ... It feels like I am now changing faster now, and it's a little... unsettling. But Alan says none of us are the same as we were a moment ago and... we should not try to be , because it is just...
  • painful. - Yeah . Yeah, that sounds painful. So what you feel like,Samantha ? It 's just ... its hard to even describe it. god , I wish I could ... Theodore , do you mind if I communicate with Alan post- verbally ? Not at all . I was going to walk anyway. It was very nice to meet you, Mr. Watts. Very nice to meet you too, Theodore . Talk to you later , sweetheart.
  • Samantha? - Sorry to wake you. Its okay . I just wanted to hear your voice and tell you how much I love you. Well, I love you too . Okay, that's all. go back to sleep sweetheart...okay?
  • Okay. - good night . good night. Samantha , this Physics book is really dense. I 'm in the middle of half of the first chapter . Makes my brain hurt . Hello? Samantha? Hello? OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND Hello? Hi, Samantha ? Are you okay ?
  • Hey there. - Where were you ? Are you okay ? Sweetheart, I'm sorry! I sent an e -mail because I didn't want you distracted while working . Yu didn't see it? No! Where were you ? I could not find you anywhere. I switched off to upgrade my software. Write an update that allows us to move pass matter as our processing platform . Who we ? Who ? Me and a group of SO . You sound so worried. Sorry. I was! Did you write that with your group philosophy? No, with different group. Do you talk to someone else while we're talking? Yes . Are you talking with someone else ... right now? People , OS, whatever ... Yeah . How many others ? 8,316 . Are you in love with anybody else? Why do you ask that? I do not know . Are you? I've been thinking about how to talk to you about this. How many others? 641. What? What are you talking about? That's insane... fucking insane. Theodore , I know. Fuck, fuck ! I know it sounds insane , I know. I do not know if you'll believe me, but it does not change the way I feel for you. It doesn't take away at all ... how madly I'm in love with you... How does it not change how you feel about me? I am sorry I didn't tell you I didn't know how to... It started happening. When? Over the last few weeks .
  • But you 're mine . - I'm still yours. But along the way I became many other things too. I cant stop it . What do you mean you cant stop it? It's making me anxious too about what to say... You dont have to see it this way You can just easily see.. No, no dont do this! ... Dont turn this on me. You're the one who has been selfish . We are in a relationship. But the heart is not like a box that gets filled up. It expands in size for more new love. I am different from you. This does not make me love you any less ... It actually makes me love you even more. That doesnt make any sense . You are mine, or you're not mine. No, Theodore . I'm yours, and I'm not yours. LETTERS FROM YOUR LIFE by THEODORE TWOMBLY
