You’re a very naughty boy!

She is, she is! I mean, he is!
(Yay, finally I solved one on time! :slight_smile: )

A raptor falls off a boat. When she wakes up in hospital, she can’t remember anything, and then she eats a tasty guy who said he was her husband. A little later, she also eats his children.

ā€œTwo families of raptors, both alike in ferocity,
In fair ORGS, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil claws unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents’ strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our rampage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.ā€

I don’t think my presence will be required to confirm when someone knows it. :smiley:

If this isn’t Romeo And Juliet.

A lady, employed as a ā€œprofessional companionā€ (@BHydden I’m doing my best to avoid advisories) has a scholar admirer, who tries to make her embrace the glory of the antiquity. She also has an honest protector and an enemy. She is influenced by all of them and in the end chooses to do her own thing and eats everyone, like a proper raptor.

Edit: Everyone please assume I like all riddles and answers, this thread has me seriously out of daily likes lately. :woman_shrugging:

Do we have a limited amount of likes?

P.S. I’m really glad you guys appreciate.

P.P.S. : I sort of feel a Moulin Rouge vibe, but I don’t really remember the movie.

Yeah everyone has a daily limit of likes to give… forget the exact number, it depends on your forum participation level

Thanks. Looks like I still had one for you.

It sounds a lot like the plot summary of Moulin Rouge that I just read on Wikipedia, and that choice makes sense if @Gia was inspired by thinking of the Baz Luhrmann version of Romeo and Juliet.

Too good.

After a young girl’s family is murdered by a corrupt officer, either by fate or coincidence, an older raptor takes her under his wing, forms a unique relationship with her, and teachers her his trade.

Woops, I got excited and posted before I realized I cut in line. I almost said Rushmore… but I don’t think that’s it…

Memoirs of a Geisha? Which now that it has popped into my mind with a raptor I can’t think of anything else.

Parts of this description remind me of Der Blaue Engel with Marlene Dietrich.

The lady’s profession is not the only clue, the info about the gentleman is important.

It also reminds me of the Steppenwolf, but the trope of a gentleman who takes care of a ā€œfallen girlā€ is ubiquitous. What I really don’t get is the advisor and the enemy.
