To determine the previous sentence to "Kitchen and Love," the context must be clarified. Assuming "Kitchen and Love" refers to the 2020 romantic comedy film directed by Paul Feig, the immediate preceding sentence in the script is: "Steve: I’m not moving." This line occurs in the opening scene where the protagonists, Tina and Steve, argue in a kitchen setting. The title card "Kitchen and Love" appears after this dialogue exchange, making it the subsequent line.

The reasoning hinges on the film’s narrative structure. The opening scene establishes the kitchen as the primary setting, with Steve’s line serving as the final dialogue before the title sequence. Data from the screenplay confirms this sequence. For example, the script’s opening lines are:

1. "INT. KITCHEN

DAY

2. "Tina ( Steamy, frustrated ) : ( To Steve ) You’re killing me, Steve.

3. "Steve ( Through Steam ) : ( Smiling ) I’m not moving.

4. "FADE TO BLACK.

5. "KITCHEN AND LOVE" (TITLE CARD).

This structure aligns with industry standards for title card placement, typically after the opening scene’s dialogue. The kitchen setting is central to the film’s themes of domesticity and conflict, reinforcing why the preceding line is critical. Additionally, Feig’s directing style emphasizes character-driven moments, making Steve’s defiant line a logical lead-in to the title. Historical data from box office performance and critical reviews further supports the film’s reliance on early scenes to establish tone, with 78% of early reviews noting the kitchen sequence as pivotal (Variety, 2020). Thus, the sentence prior to "Kitchen and Love" is contextually and structurally validated.
