Film Noir Bitch

I am an expert at coddling male egos but I’ve decided it’s no longer
worth the effort. Here is my new approach to men, via the screenplay
for The Verdict:

           
           
            LAURA
                       
You thought maybe you’d get
                       
some sympathy.  You came to the
                       
wrong place.

                                   
GALVIN
                       
And what makes you so tough?

                                   
LAURA
                       
Maybe I’ll tell you later.

                                   
GALVIN
                       
Is there going to be a later…?

                                   
LAURA
                       
Not if you don’t grow up…

                                   
GALVIN
                       
If I don’t ‘grow up…’

                                   
LAURA
                       
You’re like a kid, you’re coming
                       
in here like it’s Sunday night,
                       
you want me to say that you’ve got
                       
a fever — you don’t have to go to
                       
school…
