Boy falls in love with girl.

Yeah, I know it’s creepy.

You know it’s creepy.Andrew Lincolnknows it’s creepy.

(There’s a reason whyit’s the sceneSaturday Night Liverecently chose to parody.)

It was more of a… self-preservation thing, you see.

Because after all,there’s nothing worse than the total agony of being in love.

Besides, the scene is a memorable one in a thoroughly crowded film.

Isn’t that enough to cut the character at its center some slack?

At some point, you just have to take one for the team andmove on.

So, no, it wasn’t “enough now” that night.
