Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2003)

by Charlie Kaufman.

INT. PUBLISHING HOUSE RECEPTION AREA - DAY



It's grand and modern.  Random House-Knopf-Taschen is etched

on the wall in large gold letters.  An old woman enters

carrying a tattered manuscript, maybe a thousand pages.  She

seems haunted, hollow-eyed, sickly.  The young receptionist,

dressed in a shiny, stretchy one-piece pantsuit, looks up.

		RECEPTIONIST

	Oh, hi.
		OLD WOMAN

		(apologetically)

Hi, I was in the neighborhood and thought

I'd see --
		RECEPTIONIST

	I think he's in a conference.

Unfortunately.  I'm really sorry.
		OLD WOMAN

	Would you just try him?  You never know.

As long as I'm here.  You never know.
		RECEPTIONIST

	Of course.  Please have a seat.
The old woman smiles and sits, the bulky manuscript on her

lap.  She stares politely straight ahead.
		RECEPTIONIST (CONT'D)
