Addicted Page #3

I'd be lying if I said that.

But my family,

my kids, my husband...

Look, I...

I never want to force you into

something you don't want to do.

Okay.

Thank you.

"Thank you"?

Just like that,

thank you? All right.

Thank you for understanding.

Yeah, yeah.

Just come here.

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

No, no, no. Stop.

Please. I can't.

I'll make you a deal.

Just give me an hour.

What?

I wanna show you something.

I wanna show you

something special.

I bet you do.

I'm not talking about that.

It's just, um, some art.

After that, you can

go home if you want to.

One hour.

Okay, one hour.

Promise.

Just one condition.

Condition?

Turn around for me.

Turn...

Yes, turn around for me.

Come on.

No.

Come on.

Quinton...

Relax.

Quinton...

Just relax.

Where are we going?

Trust me.

Come here.

Watch your head.

Careful.

Quinton, where are we?

I want your first look

to be perfect. Hmm?

My first look at what?

Enough. What is it?

It's beautiful.

I started it when I was 11.

And I've never shown

this to anyone before.

Well, is, um,

that you and your family?

No, no.

That's the family I wanted.

When I was

nine years old, my mom...

She ran off with another man.

We never saw her again.

I'm so sorry.

Broke my father's heart.

He took a gun,

put it in his mouth.

Oh, my God.

I know...

I know things happen

in a marriage,

but for a mother

to just leave her child

and never look back, that's...

I can never get over that.

Oh, Quinton...

I know this is all wrong.

I know I'm not supposed to...

To be with another

man's wife, but...

Zoe, I can't help it.

Thanks, Mr. Crayne.

Balthazar!

Mr. Crayne! Wait!

Wait, wait, wait!

Hi.

I'm Zoe. I am so sorry.

Please don't go.

Look, I would

completely understand

if you were furious with me

for being so rude

and didn't wanna have anything

to do with me,

but please hear me out.

I am always on time.

But my daughter Kayla

was sick tonight

and I took her to the doctor,

and I just lost track of time.

I apologize.

I'm on a red-eye to Paris.

And you

should call my office

to reschedule.

Thank you for understanding.

I hope your daughter

feels better.

Have a safe trip.

I totally lost track of time

when I was with Quinton.

I keep using my kid

as an excuse.

I said my daughter was sick.

God, you don't wanna

put that out in the universe.

This is making me crazy.

I'm... I'm so messed up.

And this obsession...

I know, I know that

it's ruining my life.

It's terrible.

But I keep going back.

So how long have you been

meeting him now?

Oh, months.

Every day, if I can.

Oh, God!

Oh. Well, thank you so much,

uh, but I, uh...

I better hurry.

If I hurry, I can actually

get the kids to bed.

First time since Monday night.

Zoe...

Let's make some time

for next week.

Yeah, it's just that,

you know...

I have to see if I have,

well, the time.

You know, with the kids

and work and Jason...

See, coming here is just one

more thing that I have to hide.

When can I see it?

When it's finished.

When will it be finished?

You don't like waiting

for anything, do you?

I thought that's what

you liked about me.

You know what? Um...

Your chin...

No, no...

Just hold on.

Zoe, Zoe... Come here.

Let me see.

Come here.

There you go. Just hold it.

There. Okay...

Zoe, what are you doing?

You're a model.

Models keep still. Okay?

What are you doing?

You're not helping me here.

I don't like following orders.

Zoe...

Quinton?

That would be cheating.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Who are they?

Some women I used to know.

This one...

It's so disturbing.

Well, I, um...

I paint what I feel.

She's still stunning.

They're all so beautiful.

Are you jealous?

No. I...

I have no right to be.

Zoe, come on.

It's so funny.

It's so funny.

This is crazy.

What the hell am I doing here?

What are you doing here?

I mean...

I think we both know

the answer to that one.

Yeah, do we?

Hmm?

Yeah, we...

We know the answer?

Yeah, we do.

Are you sure I'm not just

another one of your women that

you've lured into your lair?

What's wrong with you?

Zoe, come on.

They're just paintings from

a long time ago, I told you.

Come on.

I better go.

Are you serious?

I don't belong here.

You do...

You belong here, Zoe.

You know that.

Don't say that.

'Cause nobody... Nobody has

ever made me feel this way.

Talk this way. Seen my soul.

Okay, trap it.

First, trap it.

Don't plant your foot too early.

Mommy!

Put it right next

to the ball, look.

Hey, honey!

How'd it go?

They won!

They did?

Oh, you should have seen him!

Saved the day.

Oh, wow! Our star player!

Congratulations!

That's right.

You promised!

Um...

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Peter, I'm sorry.

I had to work.

What happened?

Uh... Client crisis.

Hey, how's my best girl?

Momma's a Smurf! Look!

You've got blue hair!

Hmm.

Oh! How'd

that get there?

Occupational hazard, huh?

Can I get blue hair, too?

Please?

Come on, stop yanking

on your momma.

Come on. Come here,

silly banana.

Have some hot chocolate.

Sit down.

You want some?

Yeah, thank you.

Hey. I'm sorry.

All right?

Careful. Look at you.

Messy Bessie. Here.

I was gonna tell him.

Swear to God.

Good?

I just couldn't.

It would destroy my family,

my life.

I'm sick. I'm really sick.

Zoe, this is an obvious sign

of addiction here.

Addiction?

I'm not on drugs.

No, you can't smoke it,

shoot it, or snort it.

But make no mistake,

sex can be a drug, too.

It's as powerful

as any narcotic.

Oh, come on. That's crazy.

No, sexual addiction,

it's not as common

as alcoholism or drugs.

But it is a very real problem

that thousands of people

are battling each day.

Your first time with a lover

outside of your marriage

is like your

first hit of heroin.

The thrill of the illicit.

Then you keep craving it.

Okay. Well,

then what do I do?

Because I come here to see you,

and we talk and we talk,

and we talk.

But what's the solution?

I need help! What's the plan?

Now, you said that you tried

talking to Jason before.

I think that you should suggest

to him couples counseling.

Then he'll know there's a real

problem in your marriage.

Okay.

I'll give it a shot.

I didn't know

you got a new cell phone.

Oh. Uh...

Crayne, Balthazar Crayne,

you know, that investor guy.

One of his companies sells them

and they gave them out

as promos.

That's pretty snazzy.

Oops.

Oh. Here, I'll take it.

That's okay.

I think that's your new

millionaire boyfriend calling.

Oh, please. Yeah.

That's all I need in my life.

Another man.

You are all the man that I need.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

Mmm.

What's on your mind, baby?

Hmm?

Uh...

Yeah, you know, actually,

there is a problem

that we should talk about.

A problem?

Mmm-hmm.

What's the problem?

Maybe you and I

should talk to somebody.

Talk to who? About what?

Uh, a professional,

about our... Our sex life.

What's wrong... What's wrong

with our sex life?

Wait, hold on. What do

you mean by "a professional"?
