Joelle's Too Much Fun at Molly Notkin's party (p. 238)
She will never again say And Lo and invite people to watch darkness dance on the face of the deep. ‘The Face of the Deep’ had been the title she’d suggested for Jim’s unseen last cartridge, which he’d said would be too pretentious and then used that skull-fragment out of the Hamlet graveyard scene instead, which talk about pretentious she’d laughed. His frightened look when she’d laughed is for the life of her the last facial-expression memory she can remember of the man.
Context
Two deliberate minutes from Too Much Fun, Joelle gives us the naming of Infinite Jest: her rejected title, his Hamlet skull-fragment alternative, and his frightened look when she laughed at it — her last memory of the auteur's face. The filmography's terminal entry gets its title on the same page its performer sets about dying.
