page GORDON What are you suggesting? PAULA He’s a very popular teacher. GORDON I’m not that shallow. PAULA She’s a very fetching girl. GORDON What am I hearing? PAULA Is there part of you that feels the need to get even? GORDON Let me be clear, nothing about this is about vengeance. PAULA Vengeance? See, that’s a surprise. The word I would have used was “revenge.” GORDON Is there a substantive difference? PAULA Not that I’m aware of. Except for the fact the one you chose is traditionally the domain of The Lord. GORDON The Lord? PAULA That’s right. GORDON We’re talking about The Lord now? PAULA In this climate, we’d be fools not to. GORDON So, what’s your point? Are you making some point with that old, “Vengeance is Mine” isthat what you’re doing? PAULA Yes. “Sayeth The Lord.” You have some kind of God complex going on I’m not aware of? GORDON So, okay, Revenge, then. “A meal best served cold.” PAULA A dish. |
