Charles: Hi, Stephen how are you? 

Stephen: Your sick! How do you stomach looking at yourself in the mirror knowing what your doin'?

Charles:...Oh that thing with your sister was nothing I was just helping her with her Health homework.

Stephen: If I ever catch you staring at her the wrong way, trying to touch her I promise you that I will kill you.

Charles: I don't understand why you would say this to me, what have I done?

Stephen: You one sick son of a bitch!

(Both Stephen and Charles hear Ashley downstairs)
