Mark laughed and turned to look at her.
MARK: Yeah! very funny!
Beth never spoke
MARK: Are you serious?
BETH: Yes!
Mark walked over to Beth and grabbed her
MARK: Who is it?
BETH: You won't know him
MARK: You're so fucking calm! Tell me who he is?
He squeezed her arm tight
BETH: Mark, you're hurting me!
He pushed her hard against the living room wall and put his hands around her neck.
BETH: Mark!
MARK: Tell me who it is! (shouting)
BETH: No!
Beth managed to get out of his grip.
MARK: How could you do this to me? A few days ago we were fine and looking forward to the party, now you spring this on me! Has he got more money than me?
BETH: Why would I want anyone with more money? I have plenty of my own!
MARK: That's why you didn't want a baby, isn't it?
Beth began to walk out of the room but he grabbed her again.
MARK: Isn't it! (shouting)
BETH: No, I wanted to wait! I told you that a hundred times!
Beth tried not to cry
BETH: I'm sorry for hurting you, i never meant to!
MARK: You know I'll never divorce you!
Beth just stared at him
MARK: Ever! I love you!
BETH: Get your things and get out of my house
MARK: This is my house too
BETH: No, this is my house, I bought it! So i'd like you to leave.
MARK: Beth!
BETH: Please go (crying)
Beth ran upstairs and locked herself in the bathroom. She called her Uncle Hank.
HANK: Hey Beth, are you in trouble?
BETH: Why do you always think i'm in trouble? Don't answer that. I want you to get Mark out of my house.
HANK: What? Why?
BETH: We're splitting up
HANK: What did he do to you?
