Addicted to Love Page #3

Synopsis: Good-natured astronomer Sam is devastated when the love of his life, Linda, leaves him for a suave Frenchman named Anton. He therefore does what every other normal dumpee would do; go to New York and set up home in the abandoned building opposite his ex-girlfriend's apartment, intent on winning her back and waiting until she decides to leave her current lover. What Sam does not count on is being joined several weeks later by ultra hip tomboy Maggie, a photographer and motor-cyclist who is determined to get revenge on Anton, her ex-fiance. Hostile at first, the two of them eventually join forces in an attempt to separate the couple, and ruin Anton's life. However, complications ensue when Sam and Maggie start falling for each other.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Why not?

You paid for it.

You stole my money.

You took everything I had to buy this crap?

That was everything you had?

What the hell is that for, anyway?

It's pretty, Sam.

There we go.

You can hear them?

Are they talking?

What about?

You wouldn't be interested.

Let me hear.

It's wrong, Sam.

Just for a second.

I just want to hear her sweet voice.

Beg me.

Please.

Excuse me. Did you say something?

Please let me hear.

Oh, my God.

He's killing her.

He's killing her, all right...

...and she's loving every minute of it.

She's not like that.

She likes to make love quiet|and slow and gentle.

That girl of yours is a carnival ride.

This is horrible.

This is worse than I'd imagined.

Want me to turn it off?

No. I need to hear it.

How very brave.

He's making love to her in French.

You know, Sam,|French men are very small.

But not this guy.

It's like Godzilla's tail.

He could take down Tokyo with that thing.

This has got to be|the longest orgasm I've heard.

You want your charts?

You enjoy making me suffer.

Help me get him, Sam.

Take the road less traveled.

It'll make all the difference.

Forget it.

I will not get sucked into your nightmare.

Whatever.

I think I can get this in stereo.

Welcome to New York, spy-boy.

Slim Jim?

Let's see what Ken and Barbie|are having tonight.

Squab.

He marinates it for half a day|in a lemon-wine sauce...

...and he braises it with sugar.

Please be quiet. I have to concentrate.

It's happening tonight.

Smells delicious.

I'll tell you a secret.

It's not my recipe.

I met an old man, and he said...

...only prepare it for the woman you love.

Later I found out he made it|for a party he catered.

Five hundred people.|He's just bursting with love.

You should go to his restaurant sometime.

Good food, good people.

Wait. Take the spoon like this.

Just let her eat it, you maggot!

It's the best thing I've ever eaten.

Will you shut up?

I love to watch you eat.

She hates having people watch her eat.

He's going down in flames.

Here it comes.

Oh, you know,|I heard the most amusing story.

There is this... What are they called?

Sheep.

Yeah. A breed of goats.

And when they hear a sharp sound,|they fall over.

A sharp sound?

Yeah. Anything.

You clap your hands, and they fall over.

That's my story.

They pass out|When they hear a sharp sound.

It's true.

They just fall over on the ground.

That's my kiss.

That's my...

Oh, not the food.

I'll do it.

I'll do whatever you want.

This has to stop.

I don't care about right or wrong anymore.

This must stop.

All you gotta do is nudge him.

Just graze him like that.

Sorry.
