Addicted to Love (1997)

Plot
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.

Quotes:

Sam: So what is your plan? What do you want to do?::Maggie: I just want his dignity, that's all. I want him hopeless, loveless, finished off! I just wish him ill, very very ill.::Sam: How ill are we talking here?::Maggie: I'm not saying I want him dead. But, should that occur... people die every day, why should he be any different? I'm just thinking on my feet, though. I don't have to decide the death part right now, I can just wait and see how I feel once his dignity's a thing of the past.

Maggie: You know Sam, French men are very small.::Sam: Yeah?::Maggie: But not this guy. It's like Godzilla's tail! He could take down Tokyo with that thing!

Maggie: What's your name?::Sam: Mike.::Maggie: What's your name, Mike?::Sam: Sam.

Sam: I'm the Milky Way Man, and I know everything!

[watching Anton and Linda on the camera obscura, without sound, Sam and Maggie ad-lib their conversation with French accents]::Sam: Look, my darling, I wanted to show you how well my hands fit on top of my knees, and also to give you a little...::Maggie: Get away from me. Get away from me, please. You are rude.::Sam: Oh, but I love you, my little lamb. I must have you. My love is throbbing at quite a fevered cadence.::Maggie: But you cannot have me. My love is reserved for another.::Sam: You cannot mean...?::Maggie: Yes! The Milky Way Man!::[on the screen, Anton turns away from Linda]::Sam: No, no, no! Anyone but him! No, this is a man who can predict Alpha Cluster emissions. Next to him, I am nothing. I'm a worm, I'm a little...::Maggie: Yes, I love his emissions. Not every man...::[they crack up laughing]::Maggie: ...can be the Milky Way Man.::Sam: No.::[on the screen, Anton sulks]::Maggie: What will you do now?::Sam: Forlorn, I will wander the earth by myself - thinking of you and pausing occasionally to have the sex with the skullses. Heh-heh.::Maggie: That's good. Now be quiet about that, or I will make you...::[Linda stuffs a pecan into Anton's mouth, and then licks her fingers]::Maggie: Eat another one of these pecans!::Sam: I like! Oh, this is very good.::Maggie: Look how I'm licking my fingers. You like that?::Sam: I like everything, I am French.

Sam: Oh my God! Oh my God he's killing her!::Maggie: Yeah, he's killin' her all right, and she's loving every minute of it!

[hearing Anton and Linda screaming with ecstasy]::Sam: No, she's not like that! She likes to make love quiet and slow and gentle...::Maggie: Are you kidding? That girl of yours is a carnival ride!

Sam: Say what you want, Linda and I are in love.::Maggie: Yeah, except for her boning my boyfriend, you two are the perfect couple.::Sam: Listen, Catwoman. At the end of the day, she is coming back to me, and we're gonna be happy! And where are you gonna be? All alone somewhere, plotting some little revenge scheme, that's where!::Maggie: Let me tell you something, Sam. Listen to me very carefully. Are you listening?::Sam: Yes.::Maggie: The only way that girl is coming back to you is if a blast of semen catapults her across the street and through the window.

[last lines]::Sam: 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.::Maggie: Uh-oh. How's Lassie going to get out of this one?::Sam: Well, the little boy told Lassie that she had to go away, far away.::Maggie: For her own good.::Sam: Yes, but you see, Lassie couldn't leave. Lassie just couldn't leave the boy.::Maggie: What did he do?::Sam: He told her he never liked her. He said, "I hate you, Lassie. I hate you. You're a bad dog."::Maggie: That must have made Lassie sad.::Sam: Yes, it did. Lassie trotted off, very sadly. But you know what happened? Lassie came home, Maggie.::Maggie: Did the little boy make it with Lassie?::Sam: Yes. Yes he did.

Maggie: I sleep naked. It's the only way I'm comfortable, so don't think of it as a come-on, because if you so much as breathe in my direction I will nail your willy to that beam.

Quotes:

Damien Thorn: Nazarene, you have won... nothing...

Damien Thorn: Nazarene, charlatan, what can you offer humanity? Since the hour you vomited forth from the gaping wound of a woman, you have done nothing but drown man's soaring desires in a deluge of sanctimonious morality. You've inflamed the pubertal mind of youth with your repellent dogma of original sin. And now you absolve in denying them the ultimate joy beyond death by destroying me ? But you will fail, Nazarene, as you have always failed. We were both created in man's image, but while you were born of an impotent god, I was concieved of a jackal. Born of Satan, the desolate one. Your pain on the cross was but a splinter compared to the agony of my father. Cast out of heaven, the fallen angel, banished, reviled. I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass, you profaner of vices. Cursed Nazarene. Satan, I will avenge thy torment, by destroying the Christ forever.

Damien Thorn: Suffer the little children to come unto me. Your words, Nazarene. Not mine.

Damien Thorn: If Abraham was ready to slay his own son for the love of his God, why won't you do the same for the love of mine?

Damien Thorn: You, my disciples will truly inherit this Earth!

Damien Thorn: Disciples of the Watch; I stand before you; in the name of the one who was cast out from Heaven, but is alive in me.

Damien Thorn: "And it shall come to pass that in the end days the beast shall reign 100 score and 30 days and nights. And the faithful shall cry unto the Lord, 'Wherefore art thou in the day of evil?' And the Lord shall hear their prayers. And out of the Angel Isle he shall bring forth the Deliverer; the holy Lamb of God who shall do battle with the beast. And shall destroy him." Only it won't be the beast that is destroyed, it'll be the Nazarene.

Damien Thorn: Oh my Father, Lord of Silence, Supreme God of Desolation, though mankind reviles yet aches to embrace, strengthen my purpose to save the world from a second ordeal of Jesus Christ and his grubby mundane creed. Show man instead the raptures of Thy kingdom. Infuse in him the grandeur of melancholy, the divinity of loneliness, the purity of evil, the paradise of pain.

Damien Thorn: He was born last night... I feel his presence. Like a virus, a parasite feeding on my energy; trying to drain me of power. For everyday that he lives and grows, my force will weaken.

Damien Thorn: I now command you to seek out and destroy the Nazarene child. Slay the Nazarene... and I shall reign forever. Fail... and I perish.

Astronomer (Spitzer Science Center)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 3:28
Updated: 13 Jun 2013

WHAT YOU DO: An astronomer collects data about planets, stars, and galaxies and presents it to other astronomers, then analyzes the astronomical data to make discoveries about space and how it works. EDUCATION: Extensive knowledge of physics and math, plus an understanding of astronomical research and the equipment necessary for it. You'll have difficulty finding a job with anything less than a PhD in astronomy and astrophysics, or physics. USEFUL SKILLS: Research skills, computer skills, analytical skills, writing skills (for grants), teaching skills, the ability to work well with others, creativity, and concentration. Astronomers need to be able to not only collect information, but also share it with others and work together to figure out what it means. HOW TO GET IN: Get involved with research projects run by professors at your school as an undergrad. CAREER PATH: Stay involved with research projects throughout the years you're in college. After you graduate with a PhD, you look for a "postdoc" position, where you can keep conducting research. Postdocs usually last around two years, so you may have to go through a few before you've done enough research to be a recognized astronomer. Then you can find a job at a university, where you'll run your own research projects, publish them, and share your discoveries with others. Alternatively, you could support an independent telescope or astronomy-based mission, doing your own research while also helping run the mission. Here, you might be an expert on a particular astronomical instrument, a software designer who writes the code for controlling the telescope, an outreach worker who interprets data and distributes it to the public, or any number of other specialized jobs. PAYBACK: Median annual salary: $95,500. DOWNSIDES: You'll need many years of education and experience to find a job. NETWORKING: NASA's astrophysics website has information about astronomical research: http://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/ Video produced by students at LACES (Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies) working with Gigniks' career media program.

Galileo: THE GREATEST ASTRONOMER (AMAZING SCIENCE ASTRONOMY HISTORY DOCUMENTARY) In this two-hour special, this incredible documentary celebrates the story of the father of modern science and his struggle to get Church authorities to accept the truth of his astonishing discoveries. The program is based on Dava Sobel's bestselling book, Galileo's Daughter, which reveals a new side to the famously stubborn scientist—that his closest confidante was his illegitimate daughter, Sister Maria Celeste, a cloistered nun. The actor Simon Callow plays Galileo in dramatic reenactments of key moments from his life: his pioneering telescopic observations of the Moon and planets, his revolutionary experiments with falling objects, and his fateful trial before the Inquisition for heresy.
