Doc Martin2004
[last night, while drunk, Martin Ellingham told Louisa Glasson that he loved her - and then he passed out]
Dr. Martin Ellingham:
I embarrassed myself.
Louisa Glasson:
No you didn't embarrass yourself. And I'm really glad that you said what you said. I just wish I'd had chance to say that I do too. I love you too.
[Martin stares at her]
Louisa Glasson:
What?
Dr. Martin Ellingham:
Love is...
Louisa Glasson:
What?
Dr. Martin Ellingham:
It's a difficult word when you think that we don't actually know each other that well.
Louisa Glasson:
Martin, we've known each other quite a while now.
Dr. Martin Ellingham:
Strictly speaking, for you to say you love me when you can't possibly know that you do is... potentially... delusional.
Louisa Glasson:
Oh!
Dr. Martin Ellingham:
There are certain quite well-known disorders where a person falls, without good reason, for someone else and believes that they love them.
Louisa Glasson:
[gobsmacked] Pardon?
Dr. Martin Ellingham:
De Clerambault's Syndrome, for instance. Also known as erotomania. More common in women. They fall for a man of higher social standing.
[the camera starts to track back to an aerial shot of the bay]
Louisa Glasson:
Martin! What the hell are you talking about?
Dr. Martin Ellingham:
Delusional romantic attachments. Often associated with an excessive intrusiveness into the life of the object of the irrational affection. Stalking, if you like.
[Louisa slaps Martin's face. The credits roll]
