One man is consigned to live

entirely within the present with

terrible consequences. Clive

Wearing has the worst case of

amnesia ever known. Twenty

years ago he lost his memory

and now his wife Deborah is the

only person he recognizes.

Clive- Ah ahah, oh yay! Ah ha

ha ha ha

Deborah- Clive really only has

less than 30 seconds memory

and sometimes its perhaps as

little as seven seconds. Its as

little as a sentence.

Deborah- I am going to see

your sister Adele, her daughters

got married recently.

Clive- Oh has she?

Deborah- In New Zealand and

so they are having a party

Clive- Funny how ladies

require a different title when

they get married.

Deborah- Do you know who

I am going to go see

tomorrow?

Clive- Buckingham Palace?

Deborah- No, really guess.

Clive- I dont know.

Deborah- You dont know?

Adele.

Clive- Oh is she?

Deborah- No, Do you know

why I am going?

Clive- No

Deborah- She is having a

party at her house tomorrow.

Clive- It is her birthday is it?

Deborah- No, do you know

why?

Clive- No

Deborah- It is to do with her

daughter

Clive- Who is she?

Deborah -Do you know why

her daughter is having a party?

Clive- No.

Deborah- Guess.

Clive- No idea.

Deborah- She got married.

Clive- Oh! Has she?

Deborah- She just got

married. Do you know what

country she got married in?

Clive- No idea.

Deborah- In New Zealand.

Clive- Oh, has she?

Deborah- Yeah

The sentence he is in he would

have probably forgotten the

sentence before you as him a

question and he will give you

an answer, but while he is

giving the answer hes already

forgotten the question. That

is how short it is.

Deborah- I am going to see

your kids tomorrow.

Clive- Youre going to see my

kids?

Deborah- Yeah, your children.

Clive- What are they up to

now?

Deborah- Do you know what

they are up to now?

Clive- No, no, no.

Deborah- Guess what you

think they are up to?

Clive- I have no idea. I

couldnt guess. I dont know

what theyre O-Levels were,

they hadnt got their O-Levels

last time I was conscious, so

I dont know what possible

thing they could do, do they,

I couldnt possibly guess.

Deborah- What? Where do

you think they are?

Clive- I have no idea. I dont

know where I am.

Deborah- All he has is void

behind him.

Clive- It has been like death.

I have never seen a human

being before that has ever

had a dream or a thought, the

brain has been totally inactive.

Day and night the same, no

thoughts at all. And as far as

I am concerned the doctors

have been totally incompetent.

I have never seen a doctor

the whole time.

OH! Look who has come!

Darling! OHHHHHHH. Youre

home. How wonderful!

Deborah- That was a very

musical kiss. Im dizzy. I dont

know which part of the room

I am standing in anymore.

Clive- Can we dance?
