Continuity mistake: When Brenda and Nate are arguing (on the verge of breaking up), the top of Brenda's sweater goes from folded over to laying flat a few times during the scene.
Answer: Nate actually say "You can't take a picture of this, it's already gone." It's kinda hard to explain, but he's referring to the fact that the moment Claire wants to take a picture of is over already, and she can't take a photo of it, just a different, lesser moment.
