Clementine's Tape Plays, Explained：off the rose
Clementine's tape says the quiet part out loud: "I don't like myself when I'm with him." What starts as Joel begging her not to be angry turns into the fight that explains the whole erasure — and the line that names it, the bloom being off the rose.
あらすじ
Joel calls Clementine again and again, begging her to tell him what he did wrong. Then the tapes surface: Mary's confession that she worked for the erasure company, and Clementine's own recording, where she says Joel changed her for the worse. By the end they are fighting over whether he is screwing with her.

What's really going on
The scene runs like a split screen between what Joel wants and what Clementine actually felt. Joel's messages are pure pleading — "I'll do anything to make you happy" — the voice of someone who thinks love means agreeing to everything. Clementine's tape is the answer he never heard: "I don't like myself when I'm with him. I don't like myself anymore." It isn't that she hates him; it's that she doesn't like who she becomes around him. The fight that follows is small and ugly — "The bloom is certainly fucking off the rose at this point" — the sound of affection running out. Mary's tape sits beside it as another kind of aftermath: she worked for the company that erased people, and is now mailing everyone their files back. Both tapes say one thing in different keys: what you do to a memory doesn't stay inside the memory.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Clementine erase Joel?
Her tape says it plainly: being with him made her dislike herself and feel constantly angry. She erases the relationship to stop being the person she became around him.
Why does Joel keep leaving voicemails?
He doesn't know what he did wrong and is terrified of losing her. The messages — 'I'll do anything to make you happy' — show him trying to bargain his way out of the breakup.
What does 'the bloom is off the rose' mean in this scene?
It means the romance has lost its freshness and the good feelings are gone. Said mid-fight, it marks the point where affection has curdled into irritation.
Who is Mary and why does she send the tapes?
Mary once worked for the memory-erasure company. She has decided the procedure is horrible, so she is mailing everyone their files back, which is how Joel and Clementine end up hearing what they said about each other.
Are Joel and Clementine fighting in the present or in a memory?
It is a remembered fight. The scene cuts between Joel's present-day voicemails and the recorded argument from their relationship, so the tape and the memory overlap.
