[first lines] Leonard Shelby: [voiceover] So where are you? You're in some motel room. You just - you just wake up and you're in - in a motel room. There's the key. It feels like maybe it's just the first time you've been there, but perhaps you've been there for a week, three months. It's - it's kind of hard to say. I don't - I don't know.

So where are you? You're in some motel room. You just wake up, and you're in a motel room. There's the key. It feels like maybe it's just the first time you've been there... but... perhaps you've been there for a week... three months. It's kind of hard to say. I don't know. It's just an anonymous room. This guy. He's here already. Lenny! It's Leonard... like I told you before. Did you? I must have forgot. I guess I've already told you about my condition. Only every time I see you. - My car. - This is your car. You're in a playful mood. It's not good to make fun of someone's handicap. Just trying to have a little fun.
