Lanvin knows love isn't an action verb.

"I don't think I was attached to anything of significant in that relationship but my own addictions."

"I'm not even sure I asked you about it."

"I was addicted to things in it. I didn't know what a relationship was so I assume it has something to do with using addictions to keep it together. My need to be accepted, my desire distraction from the pain and agony of my thoughts. What else will keep you there?"

"Pancakes."

"So then you agree."

"Your saying that at the heart of most relationships is an addiction?"

"Yeah, don't you agree? It is an opportunity for escape. On top of that I can face outward and create dramatic moments between my mate to further keep me adrift from examining my mind."

"There is a love right? Love is the common denominator."

"Come on with that."

"What?"

"Love to what?"

"Love for the other person. You care about the bastard, that's what sinks you into this fucked up existence."

"How can you be way off? I'm saying that what you think is love is addiction."

"How do you know that?"

"Because just like a lot of other people we don't know what love is. You say it in this discussion as if it is going to shut me the hell up. But it remains to be unexamined and continues to be this big foot in the hills, and we parade under its banner and never see."

"I know what love is."

"Listen, my point is can you tell me the difference between love in a relationship and addiction in a relationship?"

"I'm tired."

"Right. We all are."
