Vera: No. There's no way I'll give Ash to you. Ash is my son! I'd drain all his blood out and refill it back with mine if you bring up about blood and flesh.
Richard: Don't you remember? You said you agree with all things stated in the contract but why are you acting up right now?
Vera: Yes, I agree to all. But it's because of your mom. She threatened me that she'd make you divorce me and make you marry your father's secretary.
Richard: We already did, Vera. It's been two weeks our marriage status changed to divorced.
Vera: SHUT UP!
Richard: YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD! You're sick, Vera! I've checked the multivitamins you always consume. It's not multivitamins but anti-depressant pills.
Vera: GODDAMN IT! I SAID SHUT THE FUCK UP! SO STOP TALKING AND SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!! I won't let you take him away from me. He'll always be in my care because for my whole life.. I had always been the one who's responsible to take care of my parents who suffered hearing loss just like Ash. So, I should be the one who get the custody of Ash. Not someone irresponsible like you.
