"[For the sequel] they pitched me the main character falling in love and eventually marrying at the end, and I just plainly hated the idea. I do not know if that’s my European cynical side. They said that ‘We will try it out with the marriage and once we get the marriage working, we will try to find other ways to do it without having a marriage,’ so they did make the effort of doing it our way—Chris and mine—of trying to not have the marriage and not to have this very corny ending."
