Memento: Final Sequence Lyrics by Christopher Nolan

2001

INT. JAGUAR - DAY

Leonard starts the engine. Through the rear-view mirror,
Leonard stares at Teddy's retreating form. Thinking. Leonard
PULLS OUT onto the road.

INT./EXT. THE ROAD BACK INTO TOWN - DAY

As the Jaguar cruises along, Leonard places the FILE CARD on
the dash. It says:

"TATTOO: FACT 6. CAR LICENSE: SG13 7IU"

Leonard drives, HEADING BACK INTO TOWN. He looks at his hand
on the steering wheel, reading "REMEMBER SAMMY JANKIS".

LEONARD (V.O.)
I have to believe in the world outside my
own mind. I have to believe that my
actions still have meaning, even if I
can't remember them. I have to believe
that when my eyes are closed, the world's
still there.

Leonard CLOSES HIS EYES, driving blind. Stay on Leonard, not
seeing the road ahead, hearing cars whip past.

LEONARD (V.O.) (cont'd)
(rising tension)
But do I? Do I believe the world's still
there?

Move in on Leonard as cars fly past, horns BLARING.

LEONARD (V.O.) (cont'd)
Is it still out there?!
(beat)
Yes.

Leonard OPENS his eyes, straightening up the car, BREATHING.
His EYES DART from the STRIP MALLS to the GAS STATIONS, as if
HE IS TRYING TO ABSORB THE WHOLE TOWN IN A SINGLE VIEWING.

LEONARD (V.O.) (cont'd)
We all need mirrors to remind ourselves
who we are. I'm no different.

EXT. STRIP MALL - DAY

From the bewildering BLUR of urban signage, Leonard SUDDENLY
GLIMPSES A TATTOO PARLOR in a strip mall. He SLAMS ON THE
BRAKES.

The tyres SCREAM as the car SCREECHES TO A HALT and we:

CUT TO BLACK.

LEONARD (V.O.) (cont'd)
Now... where was I?
