Victoria: How dare you touch me—
Nora: Stay away from her!
The woman rushes forward, slaps the blonde woman across the face, then pulls the little girl to safety[cite: 1].
A loud slap echoed through the hallway, accompanied by frantic scuffling and heavy running footsteps on the hardwood[cite: 1].
Victoria: You hit me! You actually struck the lady of the house!
Nora: I'll do worse than that if you ever point a flame at a child again.
Lily: Don't let her get me, Nora! Please protect me!
Nora: I've got you, sweetheart. You're safe with me now.
Victoria stumbled backward against the nursery doorframe, clutching her stinging cheek in absolute disbelief.
Victoria: Arthur! Arthur, get up here right now!
Nora: Call for him all you want. The truth is coming out today.
Victoria: You are going to spend the rest of your life behind bars for assaulting me.
Nora: Let the police decide who belongs behind bars after they see the security footage.
Victoria's face twisted into an ugly panic as she heard heavy footsteps storming up the main staircase.
Victoria: Quick, grab her before Arthur sees what happened!
Will Arthur believe Nora's desperate warnings, or will Victoria's clever manipulation win the day?
Nora: It's too late, Victoria. He's already here.
