There's lines everybody knows and some you wish you never knew. Lines that are being trotted out in nightspots all over your city tonight. A virtual encyclopedia about the art of scoring big... and striking out ! - a night on the town will never be the same again. "Love is the drug and I need to score!"" [1]
