Hi.
- I'm sorry? - I just said hi.
Hi. Hello. Hi.
Okay if I sit closer?
How far are you going? Uh, Rockville Center.
Get out! Me too.
Really? What are the odds?
Do I know you?
Do you ever shop at Barnes & Noble?
Sure. Hmm. That's it!
Yeah? I've seen you, man!
Book slave there for, like, five years now.
Ah. I would have thought I would've remembered you. Jesus!
Is it five years? It might be the hair.
What might? It changes a lot.
The color. That's why you might not recognize me.
It's called Blue Ruin. Right.
The color.
Snappy name, huh? I like it.
Yeah.
Anyway, this company makes a whole line of colors with equally snappy names.
Red-- Red Menace, Yellow Fever, Green Revolution.
That'd be a job, coming up with those names.
You think there could possibly be a job like that?
I mean, how many hair colors could there be?
- Fifty, maybe. - Someone's got that job.
Agent Orange! I came up with that one.
I apply my personality in a paste.
Oh, I doubt that very much.
Well, you don't know me, so...
you don't know, do you?
Sorry. I was just-- I'm trying to be nice.
Yeah. Yeah. I got it.

[ Sighs ]
My name is Clementine, by the way.
I'm Joel. Hi, Joel.
Hey.
No jokes about my name.
Oh, no, you wouldn't do that. You're trying to be nice.
I don't know any jokes about your name.
Huckleberry Hound.
I don't know what that means.
Huckleberry Hound? What are you, nuts?
It's been suggested. [ Chuckles ]
♪ Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' Oh, my darlin' Clementine ♪
♪ You are lost and gone forever ♪
♪ Dreadful sorry, Clementine ♪♪
[ Laughing ] No?
I'm sorry. Just-- It's a pretty name though. It really is nice.
It's, uh-- It means "merciful."
Right? Clemency?
Although it hardly fits.
I'm a vindictive little bitch, truth be told.
Gee, I-I wouldn't think that about you.
Why wouldn't you think that about me?
I don't know. I just--
I don't know. I just, uh--
You seem nice, so--
Oh, now I'm nice?
Oh, God. Don't you know any other adjectives?
I don't need "nice."
I don't need myself to be it, and I don't need anybody else to be it at me.
Okay.
[ Clementine ] Joel?
It's Joel, right?
Yes.
I'm sorry I yelled at you.
I'm a little out of sorts today.
[ Exhales ]
My embarrassing admission is,
I really like that you're nice right now.
I mean, I can't tell from one moment to the next what I'm gonna like,
but right now...
I'm glad you are.
[ Giggles ]
I have some stuff that, uh, I probably should, uh--
Oh! I'm sorry. Okay. I-I'm writing, and--
No, no. I just-- Sure. No. That's okay.
I just have-- You know, this is-- Okay.
- Oh! Hey! - Take care then.
Jesus!
