Henry: My fingers are extra fishy today, if you care to take a whiff...

Lucy: What was that?

Henry: I was petting my walrus all morning and thinking of you the whole time.

Lucy: Ok, pervert. I think that you should leave.

Henry: What? I was joking because of what we talked about yesterday.

Lucy: Yesterday? I've never even met you. Nick, I need help!

Nick: Coming Lucy.

The Storekeeper: Nick, put that down, I'll handle it. You (to Ross), follow me.

Henry: Wait a ...What's going on? (to Lucy) I was kidding around with you! (To the lady) What's happening here? Is she crazy or something?

The Storekeeper: Lucy is a very special person. Very different from other people.

Henry: Ok.

The Storekeeper: About a year ago, Lucy was in a terrible car accident. She and her father went up North Shore to get a pineapple... Her father broke some ribs, but Lucy suffered a serious head injury. She lost her short-term memory.

Henry: So, she can't remember anything?

The Storekeeper: No, no no, she has all of her long-term memory. That's a different part of the brain. Her whole life, up to the night before the accident, she remembers. She just can't retain any new information. It's like her slate gets wiped clean every night while she sleeps 1.

Henry: Hole on. This sounds like something I would tell a psycho girl, so she'd stop calling me. Am I the psycho girl 2?

The Storekeeper: I wish I was making this up! She has no memory that she ever met you.

Henry: What about the pineapple-picking thing?

The Storekeeper: She says that every day, because each morning she wakes up thinking it's October 13th of last year. She comes for breakfast because that's what she did on Sunday, and October 13th was a Sunday. She has no idea it's more that a year later.

Henry: She reads the newspaper.

The Storekeeper: It's a special paper her father puts on their porch every night. It's from the day of her accident. He got hundreds of them printed out. Lucy does the same thing every day.

亨利:今天我的手有多余的鱼腥味儿,如果你想闻闻的话……

露茜:你什么意思?

亨利:今天早晨我照顾我的海象的时候一直在想着你……

露茜:真不正常。我觉得你应该离开这里。

亨利:什么?我这不是在拿昨天咱们聊天的内容跟你开个玩笑吗?

露茜:昨天?我从来没见过你这个人。尼克,我需要你的帮助!

尼克:我来了,露茜。

店主:尼克,把东西放下,让我来处理这个问题。你(指指亨利),跟我来。

亨利:(对露茜)等等,这是怎么搞的?我不就是跟你开个玩笑吗?(对店主)这到底是怎么回事啊?她是疯了还是怎么回事啊?

店主:露茜是个非常特别的女孩。她和其他人完全不同……

亨利:好,你接着说。

店主:大约一年前,露茜遇上了一场严重的车祸。她和她爸爸去北岸去取菠萝。她爸爸断了几根骨头,但露茜的头部受了重伤。她失去了短期的记忆力。

亨利:你的意思是说,她什么都不记得了吗?

店主:不,不。长期的记忆她是有的。那是她大脑中的另外一个部分。也就是说,车祸发生前所有的生活,她是记得的。只是她的大脑中完全不能保存新的信息。就像是在她睡觉时有把刷子,每天都把新发生的事情刷得干干净净的一样。

亨利:等等。你这套说辞我在想方设法摆脱那些对我死缠烂打的姑娘的时候也用过。你是不是把我当成傻子,涮我玩儿呢?

店主:我也希望这是我在编故事,她没有遇到你的那段记忆。

亨利:那取菠萝的事情又是怎么回事?

店主:她每天都这么说,因为她每天醒来都以为是去年10月13号。她来我这里吃早餐,因为出车祸以前她每周日都会来这里吃早餐。她完全不知道都已经过了一年多了……

亨利:可是她读报啊!

店主:这是她爸爸专门做的,每天晚上会放在她家门前。报纸是她出车祸那天的版本,她爸爸印刷了上百份。每天露茜都在重复做同样的事情。

这就难怪这一次亨利和露茜再次相遇碰了一鼻子灰了。有个韩国影片名为《记忆中的橡皮擦》,露茜车祸后得的怪病就好像脑海中有个橡皮擦,每天夜晚记忆便被抹去,重新归零,留不下任何痕迹。这么说来,亨利和露茜的那次咖啡馆邂逅,之于露茜而言,就好像从未发生过。美好的故事似乎才刚刚开始,可是忽然遇上了这样的突发状况,该怎样继续才好呢?

每天重新认识你

露茜的可爱和俏皮让亨利很是念念不忘,思来想去,他决定无论如何不要让这段故事就这样戛然而止。为了俘获露茜的芳心,亨利每天都要绞尽脑汁,设计不同的邂逅方案。爱情三十六计,招招都要试过才能知道,哪套方案能打动我们的女主角。

Waiter:Lucy probably didn't wanna talk to you anyway.

Henry: What does that mean?

Waiter:This ain't a disco. She doesn't want guys hitting on her while she's having her breakfast.

Henry: She does it. It's Henry Ross.

Waiter:Who that?

Henry: Who that? Me that. I bet you 20 bucks I can get her to have breakfast with me again.

Waiter:You're on.

Henry:I love it.

……

Henry: Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, but you look like a person who appreciates fine art... So I wanted your opinion. I drew this. It's a picture of a father and son fishing off a fishing boat. There's a walrus right there.

Lucy:@#$%A^%

Henry: Oh, you don't speak English 3. Okay.

……

Henry: Pardon me, hi, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I noticed we were both eating alone, and I thought perhaps I could sit with you, maybe build a syrup Jacuzzi for your waffle house?

Lucy:Oh, that would be nice, but I have a boyfriend. So, I'm sorry.

Henry: Ahh, you're making a boyfriend to get rid of me?

Lucy:No, I'm not.

Henry: What is his name, then?

Lucy:Ringo 4.

Henry: Is his last name Starr?

服务生:露茜可能不喜欢跟你讲话。

亨利:你什么意思啊!

服务生:这又不是“迪厅”,她可不喜欢在吃早饭的时候有莫明男子跟她套磁。

亨利:她会喜欢的。因为这次套磁的人不是别人,是亨利・罗斯。

服务生:是谁?

亨利:是谁?是我!我跟你打20块钱的赌,我能让她再跟我一起吃早饭。

服务生:好啊!打就打!

亨利:我就喜欢这样。

……

亨利:你好!不好意思打搅你了。不过你看上去真的很像艺术爱好者……我想听听你的意见。我画了这张画。画中画的是父子俩在船上钓鱼的故事。这边有只海象。

露茜:@#$%A^%

亨利:哦,原来你不说英语啊,好吧。

……

亨利:不好意思。你好!抱歉打扰了。我发现咱俩都是单独在这儿吃饭的。我在想,是不是可以和你坐在一起,也许咱们可以一起搭个华芙饼小屋呢!

露茜:哦,这倒是个好主意,不过我已经有男朋友了。所以,不好意思啊!

亨利:啊,原来你是要拿男朋友来赶我走啊!

露茜:不,我可没有。

亨利:那他叫什么名字?

露茜:瑞格。

亨利:起个名字叫彩虹,他是不是姓星星啊?

其实,受苦的又何止亨利一个,露茜的爸爸和哥哥经受的考验可严峻多了。因为露茜的记忆一直停留在去年老爸过生日的那天,为了不让露茜遭受失忆的打击,父子俩每天都要陪露茜一起收看那场已经看过无数次的球赛,看看了无数遍的那盘露茜送给父亲的生日礼物――《第六感生死恋》。为了把露茜彩绘墙壁作为庆祝老爸生日的保留曲目,父子俩必须每天趁她出门时重新刷成白色,再反复看着她用七彩画笔把墙壁布置一新。家中的用品要归为原样,心情的指针要调整回初始值,每一天的状态也要保持原有的温度,因为所有的一切都要重新来过。

一天辛辛苦苦培养起来的感情,第二天起来又得从认识开始,对谁来说都不是件容易事。但亨利可不是个容易被击败的人……

Henry: Excuse me, Lucy Whitmore?

Lucy: Yeah.

Henry: Have a delivery for you.

Lucy: A delivery for me?

Henry: Yes.

Lucy: (looking at the flowers) Oh, they're beautiful. Who are they from?

Henry: That I can't tell you. It's a secret admirer. He also wants you to have this (a video tape).

Lucy's dad: Who's your friend, Lucy?

Lucy: Oh well, I mean, I don't know. We just met, but look. I have a secret admirer.

Lucy's dad: Oh really? What's this?

Lucy: It's a video tape.

Lucy's dad: A video tape of what?

Lucy: I have no idea. But I have to find out...Oh, happy birthday daddy.

Lucy's dad: Thank you sweetie.

Henry: That's right, happy birthday sir. What are you, 200 today?

Lucy's dad: Oh, that's cute. What the hell are you doing?

Henry: I just wanted to try something different. If it doesn't work, we've only wasted one day.

亨利:不好意思,请问你是露茜・维特摩尔吗?

露茜:是的。

亨利:我这有个给你的快递。

露茜:给我的快递?

亨利:是的。

露茜:哇,这花真是太美了。到底是谁送的?

亨利:这我不能告诉你。是个你的神秘爱慕者吧。他还想让我把这盘录像带交给你。

露茜父亲:这位是你的朋友吗,露茜?

露茜:我不知道。我们刚遇到。你看,我有个神秘的爱慕者。

露茜父亲:真的吗?这个是什么?

露茜:是盘录像带。

露茜父亲:干吗的录像带啊?

露茜:我也不知道。不过我会弄明白的。哦,差点忘了说,生日快乐,爸爸。

露茜父亲:谢谢亲爱的。

亨利:对啊,生日快乐,先生。您今天是200岁了吧?

露茜父亲:你这么好什么居心啊?你到底想干什么?

亨利:我只不过想尝试一种不同的解决办法。如果这个办法行不通,我们只不过浪费了一天时间而已。

亨利送来的录像带里记录了自己和露茜的相识过程和两人昔日的生活点滴,同时也透露了露茜车祸的消息。虽说揭开真相对露茜多少有些残酷,但若是没有录像带的帮助,露茜可能永远不能了解亨利对自己的一片苦心……

人家都说爱情有魔力,有时可以化腐朽为神奇,所以好莱坞的童话现如今不需要类似露茜“最终恢复记忆”的完美结局,也一样可以精彩。有亨利的爱心录像带时时提醒,露茜就是想将他遗忘都难……
