Miss me?

   CLEMENTINE'S VOICE
   What took you so long?

   JOEL
   I just walked in.

   CLEMENTINE'S VOICE
   Hmmm.  Do you miss me?

   JOEL
   Oddly enough, I do.

   CLEMENTINE'S VOICE
   Ha Ha!  You said, I do.  I guess that
   means we're married.

   JOEL
   I guess so.

   CLEMENTINE'S VOICE
   Tomorrow night... honeymoon on ice.

I was watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a second time and these set of lines caught my attention.

Did you miss me?" For such a tiny question, it seems pregnant with meaning.

When you hear this question you know the person asking the question usually wants to have been missed.

Sometimes the answer might be no.

No, I didn't miss you; I was busy.

No, I didn't miss you; life is easier when you aren't there.

No, I didn't miss you; I didn't even notice you were gone.

I don't think anyone wants to hear any of those answers.

Maybe one shouldn't ask the question unless one already knows the answer and is prepared for it.

If I ask "Did you miss me", tell me the truth, but only if the truth is that you missed me.
