The Security Footage

The Broken Flower Swing

Richard: Mom, please... delete the footage. If the police see that, Evelyn could go to prison!

Eleanor: That is precisely where she belongs!

Evelyn: Richard, do something! You can't let this old woman ruin our lives!

Eleanor: I am not an old woman, I am the trustee of the Sarah Vance Estate, and I am revoking your access to this property immediately!

Richard: Mom, if you kick us out, where are we supposed to go? My business is failing, I don't have enough cash for a deposit on a penthouse or a house!

Eleanor: You should have thought about that before you squandered Sarah’s memory and allowed your new wife to abuse her orphan child!

Evelyn: I am not going back to living in a cramped two-bedroom apartment! I deserve to live in a mansion!

Eleanor: You deserve a prison cell, Evelyn! I am calling my custody lawyer right now. I am filing for emergency full legal custody of Maya!

Richard: Full custody? Mom, you can't take my daughter away from me!

Eleanor: You abandoned her emotional safety the moment you chose this evil woman over her! You signed a prenup with Sarah, didn't you, Richard?

Richard: That... that was five years ago...

Eleanor: A prenup that clearly states if you ever endanger Maya or misuse her inheritance funds, you forfeit all rights to Sarah’s estate, including your monthly allowance from the trust fund!

Evelyn: Monthly allowance? You mean the money you gave me every month wasn't from your job?

Richard: Evelyn, quiet!

Eleanor: He hasn't earned a single dollar on his own in three years! Every cent you spent at high-end boutiques came from Sarah’s hard-earned life insurance settlement, managed by me!

Evelyn: You lied to me! You told me you were a wealthy CEO! You're just a parasite living off a dead woman's money!

Richard: Shut up, Evelyn! I did everything for you! I bought you the luxury sports car, the jewelry, the vacations!

Evelyn: With money that wasn't even yours! And now we're about to be thrown out on the street because of your stupidity!

Eleanor: Exactly. And the locks on the front gates are being changed in one hour.

Eleanor pulled out her cell phone from her sweater pocket and dialed a number on speed dial, holding the phone up to her ear as Richard and Evelyn watched in absolute terror.

Eleanor: Hello, Marcus? This is Eleanor. I need you to execute Section 4 of Sarah’s family trust agreement immediately. We have a severe breach of child safety and unauthorized destruction of estate property.

Lawyer (on phone): I understand, Eleanor. I am filing the emergency restraining order and eviction notice right now. The sheriff's department will be there in thirty minutes to serve the papers.

Richard: Mom! No! Please don't call the sheriff!
