Work Text:
Bridgerton's the complete boxset:
Kate: Everyone in the school yard is going on about the hot dad in R2.
Kate: Apparently he is especially gorgeous
Kate: Has amazing abs
Kate: Is a nice human
Kate: And a great Dad.
Sophie: Benedict was seen as the hot Dad at our school.
Sophie: One Mum asked him out
Sophie: In front of me.
Sophie: If they're in a relationship I feel for their partner.
Benedict: What can I say? The ladies love me.
Violet: Very cocky from the man who wet himself in front of dinner guests while high.
Benedict: The thing I love about this family is that we never brush anything under the rug. It's just so lovely to be reminded of all my worst moments.
Daphne: Is that sarcasm there dear brother?
Kate: Anyway so this Dad...
Kate: He's fitter then Anthony apparently.
Kate: I'm so curious. Everyone is thirsting over him.
Kate: I want to know who it is that has dethroned my husband.
Cressida: Poor man.
Francesca: I love playground gossip.
Anthony: Do we know who he is?
Kate: Nope! But his child's in Thomas' class.
Penelope: I do.
Penelope: I know who he is.
Anthony: And is he better looking than me?
Penelope: Well I'd say so.
Francesca: Oh... I see ;)
Simon: Oh can we please do this face to face? I'd like to see Kate and Anthony react...
Daphne: OH. OH. OH.
Kate: ?
Penelope: it's Colin. Colin is the hot Dad in R2 and it's awful. They keep drooling all over him at pick up.
Penelope: Three married ones slipped him their number.
Penelope: One person asked if we had plans to divorce!
Colin: What can I say I'm too pretty for my own good.
Simon: He's really smug about this isn't he?
Penelope: Yes. I caught him dancing too I'm too sexy yesterday.
Colin: The hot Dad of R2 is a badge of honor.
Colin: And you weren't complaining about my dancing yesterday Pen. ;)
Eloise: Urg.
Eloise: Stop sharing your sex lives!
Francesca: And yet you are not the hot Dad of R1 or R3.
Colin: You're mean.
Hyacinth: What is wrong with people?
Hyacinth: Colin isn't hot.
Hyacinth: He's Colin.
Gregory: Maybe it's time for Uncle Greg to do a school run?
Eloise: Nope. I see where this is going and I'm stopping it right now!
Anthony: Maybe we should get them to vote?
Anthony: They need another stall at the fundraiser.
Anthony: £1 to vote for the hottest B brother.
Gregory: Don't call us that it sounds weirdly dirty.
Francesca: So you want people to pay actual and literal money to boost one of your egos?
Violet: She has a point, three of you will sulk.
Daphne: And what about the sisters? Are we not hot too?
Colin: You want me to answer that?
Colin: Because that's gross.
Benedict: I for one think it's a great idea.
Anthony: Daphne you can't ask your brother if you're hot.
Daphne: I wasn't... I was making a point.
Daphne: Do any of you have a brain cell in those big heads of yours?
Sophie: Ben will win. For sure. Waste of time.
Penelope: Colin is the one they like, so Ben won't beat him. How could he?
Kate: Anthony is the obvious winner here.
Gregory: I need someone to defend me here.
Violet: I will darling.
Gregory: No. Nope. Not a chance. Just no Mum.
Simon: This family is close. Too close.
Francesca: I'm worried you're actually doing this.
Anthony: Of course we are. We need answers.
Eloise: You're partners will just pay obscene amounts to vote.
Eloise: You'll lose money.
Eloise: Gregory will feel like shit cause he's single and no one will vote for him.
Eloise: The rest of you idiots will draw.
Eloise: And then you'll argue about it for the rest of your miserable lives.
Francesca: Sell cakes.
Francesca: Do a car wash.
Francesca: Do sweets in the jar.
Francesca: Anything.
Francesca: Just please be fucking normal.
Kate: Calendar. They should do a Bridgerton calendar. Shirtless obviously.
Francesca: Normal. I said normal.
Simon: Here we go.
Kate: They could pose and people would buy it.
Daphne: Mum would buy it.
Violet: Of course I would.
Eloise: Just me and my radical ideas here but why not do a kids calendar or something?
Benedict: You're lack of parental knowledge is showing.
Cressida: I wouldn't call that an insult.
Daphne: Just write a cheque.
Colin: Not very hands on Daff.
Daphne: Okay then. Do something that isn't allowing people to ogle you just for a nice ego boost cause you're all on the edge of a midlife crisis.
Benedict: Midlife crisis?????
Benedict: I'm far too young for that.
Benedict: You insult me.
Penelope: You're 39 Ben. Anthony is over 40, Colin is 32, Greg is the only one who can say he isn't having a midlife crisis, because he is actually young.
Benedict: Wow.
Benedict: That was uncalled for.
Benedict: I might be 39 on paper but in my heart I am 23.
Sophie: Oddly specific.
Anthony: Over forty??? The insult!!!
Kate: You're 42.
Anthony: Like Benedict I am young at heart.
Anthony: I got ID'd a month ago.
Kate: You were dressed as a strawberry for that fruit party with the kids.
Kate: They couldn't tell your age cause your face was painted.
Kate: Anyway, you're an old man. You have driving shoes.
Anthony: THEY'RE PRACTICAL!
Violet: I have driving shoes. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Benedict: And suddenly I feel young again.
Sophie: You drink Horlkicks every night.
Colin: Well that's old persony.
Penelope: Colin you do not want me jumping in here.
Colin: I'm the hot dad. Nothing old about me.
Penelope: Do not test me.
Daphne: You're all old. Deal with it.
Eloiss: Yeah. You're old. And absolutely not DILFs.
Violet: What is a DILF?
Colin: See what you've done El.
Kate: Anthony is one.
Kate: And Violet if I may so you're a MiLF.
Anthony: UNACCEPTABLE.
Violet: I just googled it and thank you Kate.
Francesca: So the school fair?
Francesca: I won't stop messaging until I'm certain it won't be an ego boost.
Anthony: So I already messaged Melinda. The head of the PTA.
Anthony: She loved it.
Anthony: So we're doing the hot vote thing.
Eloise: Oh God.
Penelope: Her son is in R2.
Colin: Time to cement that six pack.
Hyacinth: What six pack.
Gregory: Rugby bod coming in hot.
Benedict: Just renewed my gym membership.
Sophie: You've never had a gym membership.
Francesca: Some day my birth family are going to come for me and I will escape this hell.
Several weeks later:
Daphne: Well who won your macho stupidity contest?
Penelope: They were mobbed.
Sophie: Someone offered Ben thousands for his number.
Kate: Someone tried to steal Ant's hoodie when he wasn't looking.
Gregory: I won!
Colin: CAUSE YOU RIGGED THE VOTE.
Colin: CHEATING BASTARD.
Violet: COLIN!
Anthony: HE DID CHEAT THOUGH.
Benedict: HE SLIPPED VOTES IN WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKING.
Hyacinth: The all caps is making me feel ill.
Daphne: It's almost like we said this would be a bad idea.
Colin: We need a rematch.
Kate: I might need a divorce. That was hell.
Anthony: Rematch. Yes. Divorce isn't even a threat anymore Kate.
Anthony: We both know you love me too much.
Kate: Sadly.
Francesca: I have no words.
Eloise: I do.
Gregory: And I still win.
Colin: CHEAT!
Anthony: LYING CHEATER!
Benedict: I DEMAND A REMATCH!!!!!
