6 EXT./INT. NATALIE’S FRONT DOOR – DUSK <> 56 * Leonard pulls up in his Jaguar, gets out, rings the front doorbell. It is opened by Natalie. LEONARD Natalie, right? Natalie nods, wary of Leonard’s barely concealed anger. Leonard thrusts a Polaroid photo in her face. LEONARD (cont’d) Who the fuck is Dodd? The photo is of a MAN who is BOUND, GAGGED, and BLOODY. On the back of the photo: “GET RID OF HIM, ASK NATALIE” Natalie takes the picture and examines it. NATALIE Guess I don’t have to worry about him anymore. LEONARD (snaps) Who is he? What have you got me into? Natalie looks up and down the street. NATALIE Come inside. 57 INT. NATALIE’S LIVING ROOM: COMFORTABLE AND MESSY – NIGHT 57 <> Natalie shows Leonard in. (CONTINUED) MEMENTO Blue Revisions – 8/27/99 37. 57 CONTINUED: 57 NATALIE Calm down. You’re not into anything. It was my problem, you offered no help. It’s got nothing to do with your investigation. LEONARD That’s the problem! How can I find John G. when I don’t know what’s going on?! How did you get me into this?! NATALIE Leonard, you offered to help when you saw what this guy did to me. She gestures at the BRUISING on her face. LEONARD How do I know he did that to you? NATALIE I came to you straight after he did it. I showed you what he’d done and asked for your help. LEONARD So I just take your word? NATALIE Yes. LEONARD (sighs) Something feels wrong. I think someone’s fucking with me. Trying to get me to kill the wrong guy. NATALIE Did you? LEONARD What? NATALIE Kill him. LEONARD Course not. Natalie waves the Polaroid at him. (CONTINUED) 38. 57 CONTINUED: (2) 57 NATALIE This has nothing to do with you. You helped me out, and I’m grateful. She tries to rip the picture. Leonard watches her try. The plastic is too strong. LEONARD You have to burn them. Natalie scrunches it up and throws it down. Leonard and Natalie sit down on the couch. NATALIE You decided to help me. Trust yourself. Trust your own judgment. You can question everything, you can never know anything for sure. LEONARD There are things you know for sure. NATALIE Such as? LEONARD I know the feel of the world. (reaches forward) I know how this wood will sound when I knock. (raps knuckles on coffee table) I know how this glass will feel when I pick it up. (handles glass) Certainties. You think it’s knowledge, but it’s a kind of memory, a kind you take for granted. I can remember so much. (runs hands over objects) I know the feel of the world, (beat) and I know her. NATALIE Your wife? LEONARD She’s gone and the present is trivia, which I can scribble down as notes. Natalie stares at Leonard, thinking. (CONTINUED) 39. 57 CONTINUED: (3) 57 NATALIE Relax a little, okay? Take off your jacket. Leonard takes his jacket off and places it on the back of the couch, patting the pockets as he does so. LEONARD It’s not easy to be calm when — NATALIE Just relax.
