Addicted to Love Page #6

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 haven't done this in years.

How is it in English?

"Our Father, who art in heaven... "

"Our Father, who art in heaven... "|I miss my father.

"Hallowed be Thy name... "

"Hollow... hollow... "

"Hallowed be Thy name... "

Stay out of my business.

After you, Abner... and Evelyn.

Marching good. We're being a snake.

A snake. We're looking good.

Now be an elephant.

And marching and two and...

Oh, my God!

Sam, it is you.

You're here because of me?

God, Sam, I can't believe|you're actually here with me.

I can't, either.

If only you knew|What I've been going through...

...the last couple of days.

Listen to me, feeling sorry for myself.

You know what I miss?

I miss noon.

Me, too.

Sometimes I look up and wave at the sky.

- The kids think I'm nuts.|- I know.

Of course you do.

You've been watching me|through your telescope...

...all the way from Archer's Bluff.

Sam, you're the best.

How could I ever leave you?|What was I thinking?

Why did you?

I don't know. I'm nuts.

That's what my father says.

That's not a real answer.

I know.

Why did I ever leave you, Sam?

You're so generous and kind and honest.

Linda,|you don't know everything about me.

Of course I do.

You're my Milky way man.

You're in love with that man?

You're breaking my heart!

Get him off! Come on!

Kiss me, Sam, please.

I got a stud.

That I didn't know.

Linda, let's go!

I got to go.

Come to my hotel tonight.

The Evangeline, eight o'clock?

Eight o'clock. I'll be there.

Let's give that man a hand.

Thank you, thank you.

Go to hell! Take anything you want.

Don't forget the TV!

And don't forget the sofa also!

Voleurs! Fascistes!

How dare you?

I'll rape your skull, you salopard!

Look out.

Anton, what's going on?

Credit card bastards!

They say I owe them thousands.

I never used the card.

Help me find my other shoe...

...because if I find my other shoe,|I will be just fine.

I have a nice little|modeling job waiting for me...

...With a nice little agency...

...and after I get my money,|I'm going to go down...

...and wipe it in their disgusting|credit card faces!

You can't keep Anton Depeux down...

...because Anton Depeux|is going to be just fine!

Look at me now, you credit card bastards!

What, a pimple?

Tell me it's not a pimple.

Is it a rash or an allergy?

It's called a chronic allergy.

It's from food or mold,|like shellfish, strawberries-

Strawberries?

I haven't touched any of...

...of those... for years.

Well, can I get you some ice or heat?|Ointment?

Look! Look! Look!

I am... look...

There you go.

There you go, lover.

That's what I want to hear.

Hold it! Stop!

We need to talk.

So how was your date with Linda?

You looked cozy. I'm happy it worked out.

You were there?

I miss you, Sam.

We were like girlfriends.

This isn't about him anymore, is it?

Who, him?

You know, call me a hopeless romantic.

I just hate to let him out of my sight.

Where are you going?

Nothing worse can happen to me.

I have to see Linda.

This is very painful.

Maybe now isn't a good time.

You don't look your best.

What if she's seeing another man, Mike?

Another man touching her hair, her hips...

...her pink panties.

Oh, God, her pink panties.

The one with the little...

You think me pathetic, don't you?

Yes, I do.

With Linda,|the worst moments of my life...

...Were the happiest I've ever known.

Even as the world was crashing|around my shoulders...

...I had the most extraordinary|times with her.

Yet I only knew her a brief time.

Your woman, how long do you know her?

A few weeks.

A few weeks? Love comes swift and hard.

Not a few weeks. Since we were kids.

You just said a few weeks.

I did. I said that.

I didn't say you didn't.

But I did. I said that.

How did you two meet?

Common interests.

When will I meet her?

We're actually not together anymore.

You didn't get along?

No. We had a great time together.

And what drove you apart?

Another guy.

She loves another man?

No, she hates him.

She hates his guts.

Anton, I'm sorry. I have to go.

You're not coming with me to see her?

You're on your own, sport.

What in the world are you doing?|I didn't even come close to him!

I'm so sorry, Anton.

I'm so sorry.

Linda. Where is Linda?

It's all right. I'm here.

Linda Green!

Nice and slow.

I got you.

Go back.

I almost killed him, Maggie.

I was trying to protect him|from somebody...

...Who I thought was you,|and I almost killed him.

I broke his arms and his ribs.

For what?

I was going to ask you about that, Sam.

Not that I'm ungrateful.

Stop it, Maggie. Just stop it.

I was just curious about that.

This isn't about him anymore.|This is about us.

You and me.

I love you, Maggie.

Oh, God, don't do this.

I love you.

- What are you doing?|- And I know you love me.

Why are you saying that?

- I know you love me.|- Don't do this, Sam.

You're crazy about me.

You should go home.|Just get on a plane and go.

I won't hurt you, Maggie, I swear.

Look, I am trying to be nice, and you...

I don't love you, Sam.

I don't have one iota of feeling|for you whatsoever.

Then what were you doing this morning|Watching me and Linda?

He wasn't there.

Why were you there?

It's none of your business|anymore what I do or why.

You were there watching me...

...because you care about me,|because you have feelings for me.

You want to know why I was there, Sam?|You really want to know?

Pictures.

Pictures of you and Linda.

I told you I want him finished off.

It doesn't have anything to do|With you and me.

I told you, stay out of my way.

That's it?

If that's what you want,|that's what it's going to take.

Fine. Let's get it the hell over with, then.

Thank God, Mike. Thank God you're back.

Scratch me, Mike, please.

Scratch my chest, my face, quickly.

Why?

Please, I'm not kidding. I can't stand it.

Why should I help you?

For the love of God, Mike!

What did you do, Anton?

You must've done something|terrible to deserve all this.

What did you do?

I don't understand|What you're talking about.

Confess, Anton!

Have you gone mad?

I'm begging you.

Just for a moment.

Just one scratch.

Look at you.|You've lost everything you have.

Your money, your love, your self-respect.

You're broken, Anton.

You're repulsive!

Is this what you want? Is this enough?

No, huh? You want more?

All right.

Do it, Anton. Confess.

Confess what?

That you hurt people!

Who, Linda? Yes, I cheated on Linda.

I admit it, but why should you care?

You were using her, weren't you?

What are you talking about?

Just admit it!

That you were using her|to stay in this country...

...just the way you used Maggie!

I never told you anything about Maggie.

Who the hell are you?

I'm the Milky way man...

...and I know everything.

You're going to hurt yourself.

You're killing yourself.

Here. Let me help you.

How's this? You enjoying the show?

Maggie was my angel.

She brought me here, in America.

I was nothing before I met her.

Just a waiter in a little caf in Paris.
