The music stopped abruptly as the string quartet noticed the escalating hostility near the center of the ballroom.
Victoria: You think calling the cops scares me? They'll find that diamond in your pocket in two seconds flat!
Elena: I have nothing in my pockets except my phone and my car keys.
Victoria: Stop talking back to me, you miserable fraud!
Furious, the woman in the sequin dress slaps her across the face and yells, "Liar!"[cite: 1]
SFX: Loud slap, scuffle[cite: 1]
Elena: Oh! You had no right to put your hands on me!
Victoria: That's for stealing from my family and then standing there smiling in my face!
Elena's cheek burned bright crimson from the force of the sudden blow, but her shock quickly melted into fierce retaliation.
Elena: You crossed a major line, Victoria. I'm done being your punching bag.
Victoria: Guard! Security! Get this criminal out of my sight before I do worse!
Elena: Nobody is touching me until we clear this up once and for all!
The two women exchange punches and shoves on the dance floor as stunned guests watch[cite: 1].
SFX: Fighting sounds[cite: 1]
Guest: Someone pull them apart before someone gets seriously hurt on the marble floor!
Victoria: Let go of my dress! You're ruining Italian silk!
Elena: You started this fight, and I'm going to finish it!
Will Elena maintain the upper hand, or will Victoria's security team swarm the dance floor and turn the tables?
Victoria: You'll never work in this town again after tonight!
