Evelyn: Think about your company's standing in Dallas, Richard! If the press finds out about a domestic dispute in this house, your firm's shares will plummet by morning!
Richard: I don't give a damn about my firm's shares, Evelyn! I care about my daughter!
Dispatcher: 911 emergency, what is your location?
Richard: I need police units and emergency medical technicians at 4200 Grand Avenue immediately! An adult female just physically assaulted and burned my six-year-old child inside our home!
Evelyn: Hang up that phone, you fool!
Dispatcher: Sir, is the suspect still present on the scene?
Richard: Yes, she is standing right in front of me in the master bathroom. Send officers now before I take matters into my own hands!
Dispatcher: Units are en route, sir. Stay on the line and keep the child safe.
Richard ended the call and tossed his phone onto the vanity counter. He turned his fierce glaze back onto Evelyn, who was now breathing heavily, her face turning pale as she looked around the room for an escape route.
Evelyn: You're destroying this family over a minor mark on her arm!
Richard: A minor mark?! You scorched a baby's skin with a open flame!
Evelyn: She was looking at the estate legal documents in my nightstand drawer!
Richard: What legal documents, Evelyn? Why would a six-year-old care about legal documents?
Lily: Daddy... she had the papers with your name cross out...
Richard froze, turning his head slowly toward Lily, who was sitting on the bath mat holding a cold wet towel against her arm.
Richard: What did you see, Lily?
Lily: She was signing papers in her room yesterday... She said if I told you about the bank accounts, she would send me away to an orphanage.
Richard: She threatened to send you away?
Lily: She said you weren't my real dad and that the house belonged to her now.
Evelyn: Don't listen to this little brat, Richard! She's making up wild fantasies!
Richard: Is that why you were looking for the safe keys, Evelyn? Were you trying to transfer the trust assets before the court audit next week?
Evelyn: I am entitled to my late daughter's estate! I raised her!
Richard: My wife explicitly removed you as a beneficiary from her will two months before she passed away! You knew you weren't getting a single cent from the trust!
Evelyn: She was out of her mind when she signed those papers! You manipulated her into leaving everything to an adopted child!
Richard: She left everything to Lily because she knew you were a greedy, heartless parasite who only cared about luxury cars and charity galas!
Evelyn's eyes flashed with pure malice as she reached over to the vanity, grabbing a heavy crystal perfume bottle and holding it up like a weapon.
Evelyn: Get out of my way, Richard! I am leaving this house!
Richard: You're not going anywhere, Evelyn. You're going to stand right there until the police put you in handcuffs.
Evelyn: I will smash this right in your face if you step any closer!
Richard: Try it. Give the grand jury one more charge to add to your indictment.
