Clara: Gabriel, sweetie, please listen to me!
Gabriel: Do not call me sweetie!
Clara: She spilled tea on my dress! She did it on purpose, Gabriel!
Elena: I didn't mean to, sir... my hands just slipped on the hot tray...
Gabriel: Elena, stay right where you are. Don't move.
Gabriel dropped to his knees on the hard stone, completely ignoring Clara on the floor. He gently reached for Elena's hands, his thumbs barely brushing her red skin.
Gabriel: Mrs. Gable! Get the ice packs and cold towels immediately!
Mrs. Gable: Right away, Mr. Sterling!
Clara: Are you seriously kneeling for a maid while I'm sitting on the floor?!
Gabriel: Keep your mouth quiet, Clara.
Clara: I am your fiancée! We are getting married in two months!
Gabriel stood up slowly, looking down at Clara with pure disgust in his eyes.
Gabriel: The wedding is canceled.
Clara: What?! You're canceling our wedding over a spilled cup of tea?!
Gabriel: I am canceling our wedding because you just burned a girl's hands with scalding water!
Clara: She's a servant! She works for us!
Gabriel: She is a human being! Something you clearly know nothing about!
Mrs. Gable rushed into the room, holding a bowl of cold water and clean cloth towels.
Mrs. Gable: Here, dear. Put your hands in here right away.
Elena: Thank you, Mrs. Gable... it hurts so bad...
Gabriel: Take her into the lounge, Mrs. Gable. Call my personal doctor to come to the house right now.
Mrs. Gable: Yes, sir. Come along, Elena.
Clara pulled herself up from the floor, smoothing down her silk gown while glaring at the staff.
Clara: You're firing her, right, Gabriel? Tell me she's fired!
Gabriel: The only person leaving this estate today is you.
Clara: You can't be serious! My father is your main investor in the new shipping port!
Gabriel: I don't care if your father owns the entire ocean. You are leaving my house.
Clara: Gabriel, look at me! I was stressed! The wedding planning has been overwhelming me!
Gabriel: Stress doesn't make someone pour boiling water on a girl's skin.
Clara: It was an accident! The teapot was heavy and it tipped over when I tried to take it from her!
Gabriel: I sat right here and watched your eyes, Clara. You enjoyed it.
