Hi, everyone!

I have a question. Can I use "Wrong!" as an interjection?

Example:

GIRL: We go to the movies tonight, right?
GUY: Wrong! We'll watch football on TV.

"Wrong!" is correct?

Or maybe: "That's wrong!", "It's wrong!"?
 
"Wrong!" is fine, other than being a bit rude.
 
"We go to the movies tonight" is unnatural. "We're going to the movies tonight, right?" is better.
 
Sounds like a guy being rude to his girlfriend (not a smart fella).

If he weren't so rude, it might sound like this:

GIRL: We're going to the movies tonight, right?
GUY: Sorry, I'd rather watch football on TV tonight.


Interjections are fun!
