Julian: Go downstairs right now and fetch the new maid. Bring her here immediately.
Richard: I am the vice president of Vance Enterprises, Julian! I do not fetch housekeepers!
Julian: Then you can hand in your resignation before sunrise, Uncle Richard.
Eleanor: Richard, just go get her! Let's clear up this nonsense so Julian can rest!
Lily: My mom is very nice, sir. She works all night cleaning floors so she can buy my inhaler refills.
Julian: How long have you lived in the city, Lily?
Lily: We moved here last month. Mom said we were safe now because nobody knew we lived in the tiny apartment downtown.
Julian: Safe from what? Safe from whom?
Lily: From the bad man who kept sending letters saying we had to stay away from the Vance estate or bad things would happen to us.
Julian: Letters? Did those letters have a corporate stamp on them?
Lily: I don't know, but they came in black envelopes with white tape.
Julian: Black envelopes. The exact same stationary Richard uses for private estate correspondence.
Eleanor: Julian, you are jumping to wild conclusions! Richard has managed the family money for thirty years!
Julian: And during those thirty years, three family members suddenly disappeared or suffered terrible accidents while he signed off on their trust fund shares!
Richard: Here she is! The woman you requested! Tell him, woman! Tell him you bought that locket at a pawn shop!
Clara: Julian? Is that... is that really you?
Julian: My god... Clara? You're alive?
Clara: I had to hide, Julian. I had to hide for seven years to protect my daughter!
Eleanor: Impossible! Clara died in the lake collision! We identified the wreckage!
Clara: You identified a rental car that Uncle Richard pushed off the cliff, Eleanor! I barely escaped with my life that night!
Richard: Liar! You're an imposter looking for a payout from the family trust fund!
Clara: I have the original adoption paper and the biological DNA test sealed in my bag right here, Richard!
Julian: DNA test? What DNA test, Clara?
Clara: The test proving that Lily is the rightful heiress to forty percent of the Vance corporate holdings!
Julian: My father left forty percent of the entire company to Clara's child before he passed away...
Richard: That will was revoked! I have the legal papers signed by the probate court judge!
Clara: Signed under fake signatures because you told everyone I was dead! But I survived, and my daughter just saved her uncle's life!
