There's nothing exactly wrong with it, but in view of this being such a tried and tested formula there's not exactly anything new here either - in fact, much of it is quite old. Unfortunately, whenever women say things like that to me I tend to go red, knock my drink over and shoot myself in the foot with my plasma rifle (which can be very embarrassing in The Starving Peasant on a Friday night.) (It's Ripley, you fool - Ed.) A-Monster, A-Monster, We All Fall Down This is presumably meant to be encouragement. Often, a woman's voice breathes a seductive come on, come on. There is also plenty of moody music, and voices shouting encouragement or contempt.
