Addicted to Love Page #7

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.

In my mind, he was like a god.

Now what do you think?

Well, it's not like he's God God anymore.

He's more like a volcano god or a sea god.

One of those sub-gods.

Maggie, I think he likes me.

One thing, though.

He said something|about having sex with my skull.

He says that to everybody.

Don't worry about it.

Sorry.

I don't like the sound of it.

I don't like the image that it conjures.

I can't honestly say I blame you, Sam.

So I let go with my hands...

...and I fell off the top|of the junglegym face-first...

...and I broke this tooth in half.

I'm laying on my back,|blood all over my face...

...the kids are yelling,|the teachers are freaking out...

...and I look up, and there she is.

She's just looking down at me...

...With this worried little smile on her face.

I swear to God, when I saw her,|the pain just went away.

Once I took pictures|of a bunch of ducklings...

...Who imprinted on a gardener.

They thought he was Mama...

...and they used to chase him around|all day...

...While he drove around|on his lawn mower.

That's exactly what it feels like.

It's like she's branded on my brain.

What happened to this guy...

...is that one day he forgot|the ducks were there.

He put the mower in reverse,|chewed them to pieces.

Don't you know any happy stories?

There he is.

That's him!

Let's get him!

Our work is done.

Midgets coming out of the blue.

I had to protect myself with one of them.

Midgets coming out of the blue?

Yeah.|Little children shooting perfume at me.

From their guns.

Perfume from their guns?

Yeah. Water guns?

Squirt guns?

Yeah, I think. Squirt guns.

Spooky, huh?

Wait, the loaf, I think it's burning.

Look at him trying|to weasel his way out of it.

He didn't do anything, Sam.

Anton,|don't you think it's a little peculiar...

...that little children would be shooting|perfume at you?

I thought it was something|American kids do.

A fad, I don't know.|We should have some salad.

It's very expensive perfume, Anton.

I used to wear that perfume.

Good call, Sam!

Last week you had lipstick on your collar.

From the monkey.

And now perfume...

...from squirt guns|from rich New York kids.

What are the odds...

...of something like that|happening to one person?

I don't know. Ask a mathematician.

Ask your old boyfriend,|the Milky way man.

That's you, Sam.

What are you getting at?

You're driving me crazy.

Anton,|I want you to promise me something.

Just promise that if you were|ever doing anything...

...that you would tell me.

Why are you even thinking of such a thing?

Maybe we could work it out.

I just couldn't take it|if you were lying to me.

Sweetie,|Why would I have sex with a hamburger...
