Julian: Tell me right now, little girl. Who gave you this silver locket?
Lily: My mom gave it to me before we came into the mansion through the back door.
Julian: Your mother? Where is she right now?
Lily: She's down in the basement kitchen wrapping up the laundry, sir. She told me to stay in the corner and use my nebulizer because the cold night air made my chest tight.
Julian: You saved my life tonight. My inhaler was empty on the table. Someone emptied it.
Eleanor: Julian, darling! Are you all right? Oh heavens, I saw you collapse on the marble floor from the upstairs hallway! I was terrified!
Julian: Save your dramatic tears, Eleanor. Why was my emergency inhaler completely drained of medicine?
Eleanor: How would I know? The housekeepers manage your personal room! You shouldn't be talking to a servant's child!
Richard: She's right, Julian. The girl is trespassing in the main foyer. Look at her, wearing dirty pink pajamas on custom Italian marble. Guards, remove her immediately!
Julian: Touch her and you're fired on the spot, Richard. Look closely at the engraving on the back of this metal casing.
Richard: It's just cheap junk. Why are you wasting time with this trash when we have the board meeting tomorrow for the estate trust fund?
Julian: It's not junk. It bears the Vance family crest. The exact crest carved into the wooden doors of our family vault.
Lily: My mom said my grandmother gave it to her before she went away forever. She told me never to lose it because it proves who I am.
Julian: What is your mother's full name, Lily?
Lily: Her name is Clara. Clara Hayes.
Julian: Clara? Clara was my younger sister's middle name. The sister who supposedly died in a car crash seven years ago during the estate lawsuit.
Richard: This is ridiculous! A coincidence! Your sister Clara died seven years ago, Julian! The police closed the investigation!
Julian: The police closed it because you brought them the fake medical report, Richard! You handled the whole settlement!
Eleanor: Julian, please calm down! Your heart rate is too high! The doctor said any stress could trigger another severe attack!
Julian: My heart rate is fine now because this child gave me her own life-saving mist while you stood there screaming and doing nothing!
Lily: Mister, please don't yell at them. I don't want my mom to get fired. We really need this housecleaning job to pay for my medical bills.
Julian: Nobody is firing your mother, Lily. In fact, I think it's time I meet this housecleaner face to face in this very room.
Richard: I won't allow this circus in the main foyer! We have a multi-million dollar corporate merger to sign tomorrow morning!
Julian: Cancel the merger. Call the family attorney. Tell him to bring the original copy of my father's last will and testament.
