Doesn’t the detective love the mystery or the chase, or the nosey female reporter who is even now being held against her wishes at an empty warehouse on the waterfront? Surely, the serial murder loves his victims, and the spy loves his gadgets, or his country or the exotic counterspy. The ice-trucker is torn between his love for ice and truck and the competing chefs go crazy for scallops, and the pawnshop guys adore their junk. Just as the housewives live for catching glimpses of their own botoxed brows in gilded hall mirrors and the rocked out dude on ‘roids totally wants to shred the ass of the tramp-tatted girl on hookbook. Because this is reality, they are all in love, madly, truly, with the body-mic clipped to their back-buckle and the producer casually suggesting, “Just one more angle.”, “One more jello shot.”. And the robot loves his master. Alien loves his saucer. Superman loves Lois. Lex and Lana. Luke loves Leia, til he finds out she’s his sister. And the exorcist loves the demon, even as he leaps out the window with it, in full soulful embrace. As Leo loves Kate, and they both love the sinking ship. And the shark, god the shark, loves to eat. Which is what the Mafioso loves too, eating and money and Pauly and Omertà. The way the cowboy loves his horse, loves the corseted girl behind the piano bar and sometimes loves the other cowboy. As the vampire loves night and neck. And the zombie, don’t even start with the zombie, sentimental fool, has anyone ever been more love-sick than a zombie, that pale dull metaphor for love, all animal craving and lurching, outstretched arms. His very existence a sonnet about how much he wants those brains. This, too is a love story.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jess Walter" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jess-walter/this-is-a-love-story-michael-dean-says-but-really-what-isn-t-doesn-t/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9a3/jess-walter-2228_love_this-is-a-love-story-michael-dean-says-b_2852761.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9a3/jess-walter-2228_love_this-is-a-love-story-michael-dean-says-b_2852761.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9a3/jess-walter-2228_love_this-is-a-love-story-michael-dean-says-b_2852761.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“This is a love story,” Michael Dean says, ”but really what isn’t?
