Gwen:
I'M SORRY!!
Finney: [furious]
DAD, STOP!!
Terence: [points the belt at Finney; flogs Gwen]
HEY!! You stay out of this! Gwenny, they came to my work. Why did the police come to my work?!
Gwen: [screams]
I don't know! I'm sorry!
Terence:
You need to tell me what you know about this investigation!
Gwen:
Nothing!
Terence:
Tell me what... What?
Gwen:
Nothing!
Terence:
Huh?!
Gwen:
NOTHING!!
Terence:
WHAT?!
Gwen: [grabs the vodka bottle and hangs it over the kitchen floor]
NOTHIIIIING!!!!! Hit me again, and I'm dropping it!
Terence: [raises the belt in a menacing and vicious manner; Gwen drops the vodka bottle and it shatters on the floor, spilling vodka and Terence shoves Gwen face-down to the floor]
You drop that, and I will beat your ass twice as hard.
Finney:
NO, DAD!!!
Terence:
It was an $8 bottle of goddamn vodka! Oh, now, you listen to me! Listen to me! YOU... ARE NOT... YOUR MOTHER!!!!
Gwen: [sobbing]
I know.
Terence:
That means you do not hear things that are not there! You do not see things that are not there!
Gwen:
Okay!
Terence:
They're not there, Gwenny!
Gwen:
Okay.
Terence:
And your dreams, they're just fucking dreams. Do you understand me?
Gwen:
Yes!!
Terence:
Do you understand me?!
Gwen:
Yes!
Terence:
Say it! I want to hear you say it!
Gwen:
My dreams are just dreams!!
Terence:

Gwen: [raising voice]
MY DREAMS ARE JUST DREAMS!!!
Terence:
Say it again!
Gwen: [furiously]
MY DREAMS ARE JUST DREAMS!!!!!!
