- A random girl Joel saw walking on the beach sees him at a local restaurant, then at the train station, and then on the train. She tries waving to him and being friendly, but Joel is very shy.
- On the train, the girl sits by Joel and introduces herself as Clementine.
- Joel and Clementine talk about hair dye and the "Clementine" song, which Joel insists he has never heard before. We also find out that Clementine doesn't think a whole lot of nice things about herself.
- Joel tries to be nice (he says "nice" a lot), but it backfires, because Clementine doesn't like "nice." But then she decides she does like "nice, "and she apologizes. She is confusing.
