hire some dudes to "menace" her, and then jump out from behind a parked car and rescue her.
That's brilliant!! Would be even better if they "agreed" to it,took his money,and then kicked his ass right in front of her when he attemted the rescue!! hahaha That situation could work both ways.
1) she could think he was a schmoe and laugh her ass of at him bleeding
2) she could view him a hero for being so brave as to take on two guys(this could result in the very pitiful,but perfectly acceptable, sympathy f$%K)
