"I couldn't believe how powerful an influence the potion had over me." "I would've done anything to make Marisa happy." "It was like I had joined some kind of cult." "You sold all of it, the whole bottle?" "Yes." "The person who bought this, what did they look like?" "Tall, very handsome, dark eyes, dark hair." "Did he wear a ring?" "Yes." "A gold snake with rubies for eyes." "Hello?" "Diane, I just got back from Madame Ruth's." "Gary is using the potion on you." "I'm in love with him." "No, you're not." "Go away for four hours and see if you're still in love with him." "Paul, this is ridiculous." "Why does he make you take the telephone everywhere?" "Does he call you every four hours?" "He thinks you're using the love potion on me." "Don't tell him!" "He's the enemy!" "[Gary] Just hang up the phone, Diane." "He must have found out about it." "Did you write it down?" "I have to go." "[Gary] Hang up the phone." "He must have read your journal and..." "[Click]" "Diane." "I'm not listening to you." "I am not using it." "He is." "It'll wear off someday, and you'll be pregnant, and you'll be married, and you'll have that asshole's children." "It'll wear off." "You'll be married to a man you hate with a bunch of little assholes running around!" "I kept calling her, but she wouldn't take my calls." "I wrote her letters, but they came back unanswered." "I tried confronting Gary." "That didn't work." "There was only one stone left unturned." "Do you have an antidote or something more powerful or..." "Sit down." "Years ago there was a plague." "It affected many people." "It did not in any way make them feel ill." "They lived long lives, but... something inside of them died..." "The capacity to love forever." "This is the cure." "Love Potion Number Nine does not create emotion." "It purifýes it." "Love is often obscured by doubt, prejudice, suspicion." "With number nine, all that is eliminated." "It becomes pure." "The greatest tragedy in life is when love fades." "With Love Potion Number Nine, it never fades." "So if you ever loved each other and you both take this potion, you will love each other again, as much as you ever loved each other... forever." "Are you absolutely sure she was in love with you?" "Uh... mm-hmm." "Why?" "If you both take this potion and you were in love with her but she really never was in love with you, you will love her for the rest of your life, and she will hate you for the rest of hers." "Great." "How does it work?" "She said drink from the same cup, then kiss." "Five minutes later, it will take effect." "If your heart is willing and can be pleased, wait and listen, and you'll hear a song from the breeze." "So if you're willing to fall in love, and fýve minutes after the big smooch, you'll hear this wind musical thing, and whoosh, you're in love forever." "If your heart is stubborn like the heart of a fool, you will taste the sweat of a mule." "So if you're an asshole and not willing to commit, then fýve minutes after the kiss, you'll taste mule sweat, which, I imagine, is terrible." "So if I take this potion with Diane," "I kiss her, fýve minutes later... assuming that she's still in love with me... number nine will override number eight, no matter how much Gary takes number eight." "That's assuming she's in love with me." "Paul..." "And this is the reason why you guys are here..." "Diane's not talking to me, so she's not going to willingly take the potion." "I'm going to need your help." "The plan is very simple." "We go to her house, I knock on the door..." "You guys wait on the foyer..." "If she answers, I burst in." "You guys follow." "If she doesn't, we knock down the door, grab her, hold her down, I tickle her knee, and her mouth will open." "I force the potion in, get her to swallow it." "I kiss her." "Then we wait for fýve minutes." "Of course, getting her to swallow is going to be the toughest part 'cause, hey, you know, women don't want to swallow." "Sorry." "Uh..." "Oh, also, if Gary is there, it's going to get physical, 'cause, uh..." "But there are four of us, and I think we can take him... unless he has a gun, but chances are pretty remote." "You guys have any questions?" "What?" "What?" "What's with that look?" "You don't believe me?" "It's not a matter of not believing you." "It's just..." "I think it is a matter of not believing you." "Not only that, but you're asking us to break a number of laws... breaking and entering, assault, battery." "Ron, do you believe me?" "I'd sooner believe the Single Bullet Theory." "[Knock On Door]" "Hold on." "I'm running kind of low, sweetheart." "This Gary guy has the rest of the potion, right?" "Yeah, that's right." "Great." "Bye-bye, now." "Bye-bye." " Bye." " Bye-bye." "[Laughing]" "[Coughing]" "My God." "She's an angel." "That bitch." "She took my Rolex and my wallet." "Yes." "Yes, that's right." "I'd like to report a stolen Visa Card." "Thank you." "What am I going to tellJudy?" "Tell her you're a schmuck." "You guys going to help me now or what?" "Remember." "What do you do if Marisa shows up?" "Beat the living shit out of her." "Cover your ears." "Yell and scream." "Don't listen to her." "What if Gary shows up?" "Beat the living shit out of him." "Good." "Shh." "Hi." "Hello." "Are you Diane's friend?" " Yeah." "Who are you?" " Paul." "You're the Paul she works with?" "Yeah." "The one she hit it off with?" "She told me not to talk to you." "There's something strange going on here, isn't there?" "Yes, there is." "Suddenly she's dating the prince of England, then she's crazy about you, now she's marrying the schmuck." "Marrying?" "She's marrying him?" " Yes." " When?" "In about an hour." "Oh, Jesus." "She forgot this in all the excitement." "Uh, hi." "What's happening here?" "Would you like me to tell you?" "You get her to drink from the glass, then bring the glass back to me." "I'll sip from it, come in, and kiss her." "So this guy Gary, is he big?" "Yeah." "Now, you said that she was crazy about me." "Is that the word she used, crazy?" "Yes." "Did she ever say that she was in love with me?" "Did she use that word?" "No." "She said crazy." "[Cork Pops]" "[Madame Ruth] If your heart is decisive and your heart can be pleased, wait and listen." "You will hear a song from the breeze." "Oh, great." "This is great." "Oh, O. K." "Now, it is a tradition for the bride and the matron of honor to drink champagne out of each other's glasses." "It is?" "It is." "It's sort of an Irish thing." "Did you know that?" "No." "Well, uh, pour." "Grandma." "O. K." "Um..." "Here." "O. K. Now, hold your glass up really nice and high." "O. K." "And... to Diane and... whoever." "Gary." "Right." "You look beautiful." "Mmm." "Gary, get out of here!" "It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding." "Well, then, here's to bad luck." "[Madame Ruth] There is something you can do." "You must drink from the same glass, then kiss her." "Drink from the same glass, then kiss her?" "She will fall in love with the man she loved most and hate the other forever, but if you wait too long, it won't work." "Hmm..." "No..." "Whoa..." "No..." "Aah!" "Back up." "Oh!" "Just get out." "No!" "O. K., move." "I'll crack this..." "Put it down!" "Just step aside." "Diane..." "Oh, God!" "Diane." "Diane." "Mmm!" "Look, fellas, I..." "I..." "I..." "I'm not crazy, O. K.?" "I'm not insane." "Mmm, oh, no!" "Hello, Gary." "Now, listen." "I know you're in a hurry to get married, so let's skip the small talk." "You've got something I want." "Oh." "It's so... thick." "You're supposed to dilute it." "Completely pure?" "[Madame Ruth] If your heart is stubborn like the heart of a fool, you'll wait, hear nothing, but taste the sweat of the mule." "What?" "What are you doing?" "[Spitting]" "Stop!" "Gary." "Let me do this." "Gary, don't!" "Stop!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Come on." "If any present knows any reason why they may not lawfully be joined in marriage, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." "Yecchh!" "[Coughing]" "Do you, Diane Farrow, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" "I do." "The ring." "[Cough Cough Cough]" "Excuse me." "What's going on?" "You bitch!" "You god damn whore!" "Ow!" "Tramp!" "You bitch!" "Jesus Christ!" "Uh, guys, we got a major code 29 right outside." "Everybody out!" "Get with it, guys!" "Move!" "Go, go!" "Everybody move!" "[Waltz Of The Flowers Plays]" "Help!" "[Singing]" "Help!"

"Grab your nipples like this, real hard." "You like that, don't you?" "Ooh." "[All] Ooh." "Now I think it's time for a little magic." "Well, I'd like to tell you that five minutes after I kissed Diane, she came running out into my arms and that we fell in love forever, but that's not what happened." "It took six minutes." "I'm sorry." "It's all right." "Let's get out of here." "O. K." "[Madame Ruth] Ahh, that's nice."
