Evelyn: Julian, stop yelling at him. If what she is saying is true, you have lied to me since the day we met.
Julian: Evelyn, please! My father arranged the entire adoption and custody agreement before he died. It was business!
Evelyn: Business? Denying a mother her child and forcing her to work as a servant in your house is not business, Julian. It's cruel!
Maria: Every morning I made his breakfast. Every night I cleaned his room after he went to sleep, just so I could touch his small clothes.
Leo: She used to sing to me when you were away on business trips, Dad! She sang the songs from my baby room!
Julian: Maria, you violated the contract by speaking to him about this! The trust fund agreement clearly states you forfeit everything if you break silence!
Maria: Keep your money, Julian! Keep the mansion, keep the trust fund, keep the entire inheritance!
Julian: You can't just walk away! You signed a legally binding document in front of a court attorney!
Maria: A document signed under duress when I was twenty-one years old and starving without a lawyer present!
Evelyn's Father: Hold on a minute, Julian. Is this the kind of family my daughter is marrying into?
Julian: Sir, I assure you, this is a private family legal matter that was settled years ago!
Evelyn's Father: A private matter? You brought a woman into your home as a maid while she was the biological mother of your child?
Maria: He thought keeping me poor and dependent would keep me quiet forever. He thought I would never tell Leo.
Leo: I found the red folder in the library today, Mommy. I saw your picture inside it with my baby feet prints!
Maria: Oh, my sweet boy... you were never supposed to bear this pain.
Julian: Guards, why are you standing there? Grab her and take her off my property now!
Guard: Sir, with all due respect, we aren't putting hands on a mother in front of a hundred witnesses.
Julian: You work for me! I pay your salary!
Evelyn: Not anymore, Julian. This engagement is over right now.
