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.

Yeah. I used her.

I used her terribly.

But I didn't think it mattered...

...because I was...

...sure that I would grow to love her.

I thought if I could just love her, then...

...it would be all right.

The shame would go away.

You can't choose who you love, Mike...

...or whoever the hell you are...

...and I love Linda.

I love Linda.

More than anything!

Who the hell do you think|you are to judge?

Who the hell do you think you are?

I'm nobody, Anton.

I'm nobody.

Nobody to nobody.

Linda, we need to talk.

Hello? Yes, please.

I need to be scratched on my face,|my chest, and my back.

Please. Hello?

It is an emergency call. I swear.

Hello, mister?

Say we're even.

- What?|- Just say it.

Yes, we are even.

Good.

So how ya been?

Here! I'm here, Linda!

Oh, baby! Look at you!

Oh, God!

Oh, honey!

I love you.

You're everything to me.

Bad dog! Go away!

So I saw this episode of Lassie today...

...and Lassie was accused|of a crime she didn't commit...

...and the ranger was coming|to put her to sleep.

How's Lassie going to get out of this one?

Well, the little boy found out|that the ranger was coming...

...and he told Lassie that...

...that she had to go away, far away.

For her own good.

But Lassie wouldn't leave.

See, Lassie just couldn't leave the boy.

What did he do?

He told her that he never liked her.

He said, "I hate you.

"I hate you, Lassie. You're a bad dog.

"I hope I never see you again. "

That must have made Lassie sad.

Yes, it did.

Lassie trotted off...

...very sadly.

But you know what happened?

Lassie came home, Maggie.

Did the little boy make it with Lassie?

Yes, he did.

You can hear them?

Are they talking?

- What about?|- You wouldn't be interested.

I just want to hear her sweet voice.

Oh, my her, all right.

He's killing yours is a carnival ride.

This is worse than I'd imagined.
