Revenge

[Cleo]

I need a few ideas for a nice, quiet type of revenge. No hurting, no killings (that's for you Raven ;) ), only a good amount of embarrassment.

Setup - A divorcée and her young son accidentally run into the ex, who mistakenly calls the kid Freddie instead of Teddy, and his young, luscious, perfect figured, every man's dream, new girlfriend.

It doesn't have to be something she does to him, but I would like to have it happen right then as she witnesses. Something that makes her smile.

And yes, to anyone offended by the stereotypes in this thread, feel free to send all complaints to www.ireallydontcareiamwritingascreenplaylearntolau gh.com
you can address them to Cleo ;)

Thanks for the help!!

YOu could always fill his car with packing peanuts.

She could ask him how that rash is doing. Or if those antibiotics helped. Or if the doctor ever figured out the result of his "little problem." :)

Depending on where they are, the husband could be trying to buy something and the place could deny his credit or bring up money he owes them from the past. That's always embarrassing.

Or he could be buying something for his new girlfriend and not have enough money on him. Or pull out a $20 when he needs a $50.

Or a piano could fall on him. ;)

Cleo, have you heard of brainstorming? ;)

[Cleo]

So, User, brads or screws? ;)

:lol

I'll take a screw.

If she and her son have a bag of groceries in their arms,
you could pour some flour down into the gas tank, or sugar even.

You got me, Cleo, that's a hard one.

...the ex's car gets towed or ticketed

...a valet bringing the ex's car smashes into another car because he's checking out the perfect hottie

...the perfect hottie is trailing a four foot piece of toilet paper stuck to her four inch heels

...a bird, flying overhead, takes a dump on the ex, the hottie, or the car...the wife comments, "in some cultures, that's considered good luck"

A friend and I were both hitting on the same chick at a snack bar once. In the midst of our friendly competition, he leaned over to me and quietly said, "Dude, you've got a booger or something hanging from your nose".

I wanted to die. I went racing off to the bathroom to fix my nose. I looked at myself in the mirror --- nothing there!

When I returned to the snack bar, my friend was practically rolling on the floor, laughing so hard. He'd managed to spend about three minutes all alone with this girl. Score one big one for him!

[Fortean]

I have always thought that the best revenge is letting the offender act like a fool, exposing their own character flaws. Women seem to be obsessed with their physical appearance, and men seem to be obsessed with physical control. You needn't be rude nor insulting. A casual remark can usually prick your foe's bubble of pretentious pride. "Have you put on a few pounds?" Or: "Got that flatulence problem under control?" Most probably, she'll be checking out her figure in every mirror that she sees, for the rest of the day; and, his relationship is liable to nosedive, with his next fart.

Cleo...

"Now, honeeey...did you forgot? Little freddie is how we got Teddy." (smirky smile).

[HConn]

The best revenge is living well.

(No, I don't write comedy.)

[Ravenlocks01]

How about some nice quiet hurting or killing?

;)

[Cleo]

:lol Raven, I told you, I can't do that THIS time ;)

[Ravenlocks01]

Okay.

FINE.

she walks up to the dish girlfriend, takes her hand, looks her in the eye, and tears up as she tells her how glad she is he has someone that is sticking by him, considering his condition.

[Pandoraisme]

She could beam, gush about how happy she is to meet her, and tell her she owes her a massive favor. Thank her upside down and backward for stealing her husband... "You're the best thing that ever happen to me."

Or she could extend her hand in greeting, call her by the wrong name... plant the seed that she may not be the one and only.

Best of Luck, and have fun with it!

I agree, Pandora..

When meeting the "trophy" girlfriend, she could be very, very nice and friendly, but slightly puzzled....


"Jim - didn't you tell me your new girlfriend was a redhead????"

[rumely28]

Here are a few comebacks,

"So you're Roger's new step daughter?"

"Are you the waitress or the fight attendent?"

"Roger is so bad with names. He used to call me Honey and Sweet Heart and Peaches. Turned out he couldn't remember who I was."

"Love those shoes ever since I saw them at Payless."

"I see you've adopted."

"You're a cute couple. Like Father Time and Baby New Year."

"Look Freddy, your father found you a girlfriend."

"Testing out the new vascectomy?"

Alternatively:

She could look at the overstuffed trophy girl then look in the background at a vendor selling balloon animals.

She could have just bought her son a pop at the food court. When her ex and his toy leave, she could turn around and shoot the wrapper off the straw into the gal's hair.

Thanks people, I think I will go with simple words vs. an action.

Glad to see only Raven wanted to kill something ;)
