Papers In The Safe

Victoria: You wouldn't dare cancel the bank partnership. It will cost your firm millions.

Arthur: I would burn every dime to keep my son safe from a monster.

Victoria: I am your legal wife! Half of this trust fund belongs to me under state law!

Arthur: Marcus, call my divorce lawyer, Jonathan Ross. Tell him to get to this house immediately.

Victoria: Jonathan is on vacation in Aspen!

Arthur: Jonathan is in the VIP lounge across the courtyard, Victoria. He attended tonight's dinner.

A tall man with silver hair and wire-rim glasses stepped forward from the front row of guests.

Jonathan: I am right here, Arthur. And I witnessed the entire exchange.

Victoria: Jonathan... this is a private domestic argument. It has nothing to do with contracts.

Jonathan: Actually, Victoria, clause fourteen of the prenup is very specific regarding child endangerment.

Victoria: What clause?

Jonathan: Any criminal act or intentional physical harm inflicted upon Leo Vance voids all spousal alimony.

Victoria: That was just standard boilerplate text!

Jonathan: It is fully binding. You walk away with zero percent of the estate and zero spousal support.

Victoria: Arthur, please! We can talk about this in the study upstairs!

Arthur: Elena, take Leo to the kitchen and get him a warm cup of milk, please.

Elena: Yes, Mr. Vance. Come with me, buddy.

Leo: Keep holding my hand, Elena. Don't let go.

Elena: I won't let go of your hand for a second, sweetheart.

Elena led the trembling boy away from the center floor, guiding him behind the velvet curtains.

Victoria: Arthur, you are throwing away our entire future over a kitchen maid's interference!

Arthur: Elena saved my son's life while you were sipping champagne with investors.

Victoria: She is a servant! She probably staged the whole thing to look like a hero!

Marcus: The surveillance tape clearly shows you wedging the chair, Mrs. Vance.

Arthur: Marcus, where is the county sheriff?

Victoria: The sheriff? Why did you call the police to our home?

Arthur: Because locking a child in a sealed crawlspace is felony child endangerment.

Victoria: You wouldn't dare have me arrested in front of our friends!

Arthur: Watch me.
