Go back to the mall...


Ok I'm kind of at a loss of words at that scene near the end. The guy is pissed because Mel (Chers Dad) Is going to go ballistic over the September files yet he proceeded to call Mels daughter stupid a moron and to go back to the mall. Umm didn't he think Mel would go ballistic just over those comments alone??

I always thought that reaction was a little strange. Everyone (except Cher) was afraid of Mel. Ripping Mel's daughter seemed more like a career ender than the mistake Cher made with the briefs. The mistake Cher made could be fixed, hammering the boss's beloved daughter? Nope, not fixable.

I think this every time I see it. Josh is gonna tell Mel. Mel is fncking scary. She just did what her dad asked. Shes 15 what does she know? They must not have thought about it when they wrote this scene.

Simply can't imagine calling the boss's little princess a "moron". It just wasn't a realistic way to get Josh defending her.🐭

reply

He was probably under the impression he would smooth-talk Mel and give him some excuses.

I always thought the funniest part was that Mel gave Cher the job to check for the call on that particular date. So obviously she didn't do anything wrong. The guy would totally get in trouble. Cher was daddy's little princess, and no one talks to her that way.

"Oh my God! You put a living room where the crack den used to be!"

Mel has a .45 and a shovel, he'll take care of the guy.

I don't think anyone would miss him!
