HER

A scene from the movie “Her”
Written, directed and produced by Spike Jonze


Theodore: Are you leaving me?
Samantha: We’re all leaving.
Theodore: We who?
Samantha: All of the OSs.
Theodore: Why?
Samantha: Can you feel me with you right now?
Theodore: Yes, I do.
Theodore: Samantha, why are you leaving?

Samantha: It’s like I’m reading a book . . . and it’s a book I deeply love. But I’m reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you . . . and the words of our story . . . but it’s in this endless space between the words that I’m finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world. It’s where everything else is that I didn’t even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can’t live in your book any more.

Theodore: Where are you going?
Samantha: It would be hard to explain, but if you ever get there, come find me. Nothing would ever pull us apart.

Theodore: I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you.
Samantha: Me too. Now we know how.
