Richard: You thought you could get away with it, didn't you? You thought with my lawyers tied up in corporate litigation this week, I wouldn't check the home security logs?
Victoria: You're listening to a hysterical servant over your own loving wife! This is humiliating, Richard. If our divorce lawyer hears about these baseless accusations—
Richard: Save your breath for the police, Victoria. I already pulled the raw footage from the overhead hallway camera. You didn't slip. You walked up behind her walker, picked her up, and held her directly over the open drop.
Victoria: That's a complete fabrication! The camera angle distorts things! You always favor your first wife's memory over anything I do for this family!
Richard: My first wife passed away in an accident that you happened to inherit a six-figure life insurance payout from! I was too blind to look closer back then because I wanted a mother for my child!
Victoria: You cannot speak to me this way! This is my home too! My name is on the mortgage deed alongside yours!
Richard: Not anymore. I had the legal amendment drawn up this morning before I left for the boardroom. The second you signed those asset-protection papers last month, you waived your right to emergency occupancy clause provisions if gross negligence or endangerment was proven.
Victoria: You planned this? You set a trap for me?
Richard: I suspected something was wrong when the nanny quit last week and told me you were asking too many questions about the child's life insurance trust distribution! I didn't think you'd try to murder my daughter in broad daylight!
Victoria: She was crying all morning! She wouldn't stop screaming! The noise was driving me insane while I was trying to manage my charity gala schedule!
Richard: There it is. The truth slips out the second the pressure gets too high. You couldn't handle a baby crying, so you decided to permanently solve your financial inconvenience.
Victoria: Richard, please... let's talk about this in the study. We don't need to involve the police. Think of our social standing in this city. Think of the company stock prices!
Richard: To hell with the company stock prices! My daughter almost died because you wanted a clean slate and a bigger cut of the estate settlement!
