Speaker A
You're being so much like your father.
Speaker A
Do not compare me to my father.
Speaker A
I didn't compare you to him. I said you were acting like him.
Speaker A
You're exactly like your mother.
Speaker A
Everything you're complaining about her, you're doing.
Speaker A
You're suffocating Henry. First of all,
Speaker A
I love my mother. She was a wonderful mother. Just repeating what you told me.
Speaker A
Secondly, how dare you compare my mother to my mother? I may be like my father, but I am not like my mother.
Speaker A
You are! And you're like my father.
Speaker A
You're also like my mother. You're all the bad things about all of these people.
Speaker A
You're also like my mother. You're all the bad things about all of these people.
Speaker A

Speaker A
I felt repulsed when you touched me. You're a slob. I made all the beds, clothed all the cabinets, and

Speaker A
and that woman is a stranger to me. I mean, we had a child's marriage.
Speaker A
You've gone back to your life before you met me, it's pathetic. People used to tell me that you were too selfish to be a great artist, and I used to defend you. They were absolutely right. All your best acting is behind you, you're
Speaker A
back to being a hack. You gaslighted me. You're a fucking villain. You want to present yourself as a victim because it's a good legal strategy? Fine, but you and I both know. As a victim because it's a good legal strategy, fine, but you
Speaker A
and I both know you chose this life. You wanted it until you didn't. You used me so you could get out of L.A. I didn't use you, you did, and then you blamed me for it. You always made me aware of what
Speaker A
I was doing wrong, how I was falling short. Life with you was joyless. What, so then you had to go and fuck someone else? You shouldn't be upset that I fucked her, you should be upset that I had a laugh with her. Do
