“How will you remember?”
“That I love you?”
“Yes.”
“That’s easy. I can’t help it.”
Heaven Sent (2015) / Eurydice (2003)
Detailed image descriptions below cut.
First image description:
Twelve and Clara’s hands holding the neuro-block together. Yellow text reads “ORPHEUS: How will you remember?” There’s fragments of the Doctor Who episode script edited into the images: “CLARA (Eyes starting to fill): I don’t think I could ever forget you.” “THE DOCTOR: Clara. I don’t think you’re ever going to have to.” “CLARA: Doctor! Oh God, please, I’m sorry, Doctor!”
The Doctor looks at Clara, fending off an expression of hurt. He’s vulnerable, on the ground, looking up at her. Yellow text reads: “EURYDICE: That I love you?”
Clara’s crying. Yellow text reads: “ORPHEUS: Yes.”
Second image description:
The Doctor’s side profile as he speaks. Yellow text reads: “EURYDICE: That’s easy.” Fragment of script reads: “CLARA: What Clara told you in the Cloisters…” “THE DOCTOR: I don’t remember a thing about it.”
Clara’s turn to fend off the grief in her expression. She looks down to avoid the Doctor’s gaze, purses her lips. Script fragment reads: “THE DOCTOR: There’s one thing I know about her. Just one thing. If I met her again, I would absolutely know.”
Another fragment reads: “On Clara’s face – a look of such pain. No, he doesn’t know. Not at all.” Clara’s in focus in the background of the frame now, about to sneak away in the diner. But in the blurry foreground—the Doctor. He’s playing his guitar. Script fragment reads: “CLARA: You said memories become stories when we forget them. Maybe some of them become songs.” Yellow text reads: “EURYDICE: I can’t help it.”

Sarah Ruhl, from Eurydice
[Text ID: She walks towards the audience and opens her mouth,
trying to speak.
There is a great humming noise.
She opens her mouth for the second time,
attempting to tell her story to the audience.
There is a great humming noise.
She closes her mouth – the humming noise stops.
She has a tantrum of despair.
STONES. Eurydice wants to speak to you.
But she can't speak your language anymore.
She talks in the language of dead people now.]

when Sarah Ruhr said, “when I met Ana I knew: / I loved her to the point of invention,” and when Jonathan Safran Foer said, “being with him made my brain quiet; I didn’t have to invent a thing”
hmm
