Joelle's walk and the U.H.I.D. card — "She’s had her last fling with…"

quote

She’s had her last fling with film cartridges. Jim had used her several times. Jim at the end had filmed her at prodigious and multi-lensed length, and refused to share what he’d made of it, and died w/o a note. Her mental name for the man had been ‘Infinite Jim.’

Context

The Jim memory suite opens at the F.A.O. Schwartz anti-ad: Joelle's memory of being filmed is intact, but its object — what Jim made of it — was withheld and died with him. A memory of the Entertainment's making, held by its star, with the crucial frame missing; "Infinite Jim" is her memory's own filing label for the man.
