Which makes more sense to you? Brodie is explaining in a rather flip way why Renee dumped him.
Would he say:
"Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned by Sega."
or would it make more sense for him to say:
"Hell hath no furry like a woman's scorn for Sega."????
He's justifying being dumped by blaming her hatred for his constant preference to play video games instead of pay attention to her womanly needs. Her anger at his disinterest is (in his mind) caused by her dislike for video games. She wasn't scorned BY Sega, she has scorn FOR Sega. This happens to be a favorite line of mine and thus I'm motivated to make sure you're quoting it correctly to your friends. Thanks for your time.

: LEaves a window for mistake on the Scorn line too, then. I dunno, maybe you guys are right, but I'll always stick with the "scorned by" version when quoting the movie to friends.
