Jim Carrey as Joel Barish: A bookish introvert who enters a two-year relationship with Clementine Kruczynski.

They are shocked by the bitter memories they had of each other, but agree to try again. Joel and Clementine receive their Lacuna records and listen to their tapes. Joel drives Clementine home and Patrick sees them, realizing they have found each other again. They are drawn to each other and go on a date to the frozen Charles River in Boston. He impulsively goes to Montauk and meets Clementine again on the train home. Joel wakes up, his memories of Clementine erased. Disgusted, Mary steals the Lacuna records and mails them to the patients, including Joel and Clementine. Furious, she tells Howard to tell Mary the truth: that Mary and Howard previously had an affair, and that Mary had her memories erased. Howard's wife arrives, and, from the street, sees them through the window. In Joel's apartment, while Stan is outside, Mary tells Howard she is in love with him and they kiss. As the memory crumbles around them, Clementine tells Joel to meet her in Montauk. Joel comes to his last remaining memory of Clementine: the day they first met, on a beach in Montauk. This halts the procedure, but Stan calls the Lacuna boss, Howard, who arrives and restarts it. His mental projection of Clementine suggests that Joel hid her in memories that do not involve her. As he reaches earlier, happier memories, he realizes that he does not want to forget her. Joel re-experiences his memories of Clementine as they are erased, starting with their last fight. While the procedure runs on Joel's brain, technician Stan and secretary Mary party and have sex. One employee, Patrick, leaves to see Clementine since her procedure, he has been using Joel's and Clementine's memories as a guide for seducing her.

The Lacuna employees work on Joel's brain as he sleeps in his apartment so that he will wake up with no memory of the procedure. In preparation, he records a tape for Lacuna, recounting his memories of their volatile relationship.
