Luke
Where you been, baby girl?
Avery
I’m not your baby girl.
Luke
Too good for me now?
Avery
Yes, if you must know.
Avery glances back at the stairs.
Luke
So, ENLIGHTEN me, honey.
Luke
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Luke
You think you can just disappear on me like that?
Luke
After everything I’ve done for you?
Luke
We talked about forever.
Luke
You and me until the end.
Luke
Sorry for what? For running off like some whore?
Luke
For pawning our ENGAGEMENT ring?
Avery
For everything. I’ve missed you so much.
Luke steps forward, closing the gap between them.
Luke
You threw away EVERYTHING.
Luke steps closer, forcing Avery back against a wall.
Avery kicks hard, right into Luke’s crotch.
He howls as she ducks past him, racing toward the stairs.
There she slams into Ethan…
Ethan pushes Avery behind him, placing himself between her and Luke.
Ethan
You have about ten seconds to leave.
Ethan stalks forward, getting into Luke’s face.
Luke
Did she tell you I’m an asshole? The root of all her problems?
Luke
Did you know she’s bipolar? Off her meds?
Ethan shoves Luke, who stumbles back into the wall.
Ethan
If you think I’m going to let you do this to her over and over and over again, you’re mistaken.
Luke
She’s very good at what she does.
Luke
Let her go, and I can get her the help she needs.
Luke
We’ve been married for years—
Then Luke reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gun.
But before he can aim it, Ethan knocks it out of his hand and onto the floor.
He then shoves his arm into Luke’s throat and pins him to the wall.
