That would have to involve a very bad case of suppressed memory on my part.

Movie script
Hey! Can't find a funny translation for what comes next.
This is a conversation between a smart/cynical 35 years old Alpha male and a 20 years old obnoxious spoiled-little-rich-girl that he is body-guarding, basically. They've met no so long ago.
She says : I have a feeling I know you from somewhere.
He replies : "That would have to involve a very bad case of suppressed memory on my part. Which, considering the fact how much you’re getting on my nerves, may be entirely plausible."
Many many thanks!

Je crois qu'on peut se permettre d'étoffer (MAUVAIS souvenirs, qui est justifié par ce qui suit)

: But I don't think there's anything of 'tendance' about it: the person is saying: "I'd really have had to deliberately try and forget about you"

cela risque d'impliquer un cas sérieux de souvenirs refoulés de ma part
Une idée mais il ya peut-être mieux
Peut-être "je vais invoquer un cas sérieux/grave ..."
