Margarethe: Clause fourteen? You put a moral clause in a prenuptial agreement?!
Arthur: My divorce lawyer put it in. He warned me about people like you.
Margarethe: This is a setup! You and that maid planned this whole thing to get rid of me without paying my settlement!
Arthur: Nunn didn't even know you existed until six months ago! She is a loyal person who protected my motherless child while you tried to torment him!
Margarethe: I am not leaving this penthouse until my legal counsel gets here!
Arthur: You don't have a choice.
Arthur pulled out his own phone and pressed the speed dial for the building's main front desk desk downstairs.
Arthur: Marcus? This is Arthur Vance in Penthouse A. Send up chief security immediately. I have a trespasser who needs to be escorted off the premises.
Margarethe: Trespasser?! I live here!
Arthur: Your name isn't on the lease, the deed, or any utility bill. As of right now, your license to be on this property is officially revoked.
Margarethe: You bastard! You ruined my life!
Margarethe lunged forward, her long polished nails aiming for Arthur's face. But Arthur caught her wrists in mid-air, holding her firmly at arm's length while she kicked and screamed in desperation.
Arthur: Keep fighting. The hallway cameras are recording everything. Every strike is another assault charge on your record.
Margarethe: I hate you! I hate that stupid baby!
Arthur: I know you do. And that is why you will never see either of us again.
The private elevator chimed softly at the end of the entry foyer. Two tall, uniformed security officers stepped out into the living area, taking in the chaotic scene instantly.
Officer Miller: Mr. Vance? Is everything alright here?
Arthur: Officers, Miss Margarethe modernly attempted to commit child endangerment in my home. I have full video evidence recorded by my house staff.
Margarethe: Don't touch me! Keep your hands off me!
Officer Miller: Ma'am, please step away from Mr. Vance and calm down.
Margarethe: He's lying! He assaulted me!
Arthur: The internal living room cameras recorded the entire dispute, Officer. You can review the footage right now on the home network monitor.
Officer Miller: We've already dispatched local police to the building main entrance. They are riding up the service elevator right now.
Margarethe: Police?! You called the actual police?!
Arthur: You tried to pour scalding water on a baby, Margarethe. Did you honestly think I was just going to let you walk down to your car and drive away?
Margarethe: Arthur, please! Think of my family! Think of my reputation in the city!
Arthur: You should have thought of that before you picked up that kettle.
