There's No Place Like HOME

#29 - Nurse Ratched Challenge

Who's the scariest Bitch in film history?


Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched of course!
That chick had problems!
How could you not love her?



The Challenge...

So, Buffy had her asylum episode. And frankly...it was kinda lame. I say we can do better!
I say Giles needs a little trip to the nut barn. And said barn needs Nurse Ratchet.
Now, it's up to you whether this is real, or all in his head. But I want Giles in an asylum,
and I want Nurse Ratched large and in charge. God that bitch was evil. I liked her. J

Put our poor watcher through hell. Torture him, strap him down, dope him up, juice him...whatever! But, please let Ripper out to play from time to time...he'd like it there.
And, why is our pretty watcher in this place anyway? Split personality?
Mistaken identity? Big bad Demon? Just plain loopy? Inquiring minds want to know.



Oh, the possiblities...

Visits from "personalities" such as James, Oliver, Frank, Adam, etc... are welcome.
As long as it's still Giles/Ripper who is the main man. No stories about an actor who happens to be named "Tony" "Anthony" or "ASH" please.

This does not have to be set in the same place, or have the same characters
as Cuckoo's Nest. Ratched and her evil ways are all I'm askin' for.



A Little FYI...

Louise Fletcher also played Mrs. Bloom (Sydney's mother) in VR.5.
Nurse Ratched's first name is Mildred.
Nurse Ratched was named AFI's #5 villian in their 100 Years...100 Heros & Villans.
You go girl!!




Requirements:
*Nurse Ratched.
*That horrible record player.
*A "Quiet Room". (Basically? A padded cell)
*Giles in a straitjacket.


Wish List:
*BIG Ol' (fake) Bonus Points if you find a way to fit in my bizarre obsession with Alice Cooper. He's big on asylums, straitjackets, quiet rooms, etc, and it would make for a VERY happy Dusty.
*I still miss Ethan!!! J
*Someone kill that damn record player already!
*The horrid rationing of cigarettes. (Ripper wouldn't like J)


Please Don't:
*Sex abuse in hospitals/asylums creeps me out. Let's avoid that if possible.


If you don't know who the heck this Nurse Ratched is, but still want to write the story, go for it! (But shame on you anyway...great movie...great bookJ)
The wish list and little 'please don't' note are the same.

Requirements would be:
At lease one nurse or orderly that Giles/Ripper hates.
One little thing about the place (ie- smell, sounds, etc) that really irritates Giles/Ripper
A Quiet Room/Padded cell.
Giles in a straitjacket.
