8 quotesConsequences of Manipulation and Deception
Esther
Are you looking for this? Poor Sister Abigail. I couldn't have done it myself, you know. Max is just as guilty as I am.
[she pulls out the hammer from Max's backpack; pulls out her bloody clothes.]
Daniel
Whatever Max did, you made her do it!
Esther
Think about it. How did she even know what was up here? It's always better to burn the evidence. If they find these things, they won't just be coming for me. They'll be coming for Max, too. Is it really what you want?
[she pulls out Max's drawings from her pocket.; puts the drawing on the pile.; pulls out the lighter fluid.; begins spraying lighter fluid on the pile; lights a match.]
Daniel
Wait! What are you doing? Are you crazy?! Let me out! Let me out of here!
[Esther drops the match and sprays more lighter fluid all over the treehouse.; Esther keeps spraying the fluid all over the tree house.; The fire ignites the fluid, setting the treehouse on fire.; Esther climbs down the lighthouse and closes the door as Daniel rushes through the door.; Esther locks the door from the treehouse.]

A Child's Yearning for Parental Affection
Esther
I like it when it's just the two of us. You don't know how long I've waited for a daddy just like you.
John
Mommy too, right?
Esther
I don't think Mommy likes me very much.
John
Hey. That's not true, Mommy loves you.
Esther
It's all right. It must be hard to love an adopted child as much as your own.
John
Sweetheart, you're just as much part of this family as Danny and Max, okay? Why don't you do something nice for Mommy, show her how much you love her?
Esther
That's a wonderful idea.

If I find out that you're lying, I'll cut your hairless little prick off before you even figure out what it's for. Do you understand?
Daniel
Yes...

You pissed yourself.
