Evelyn: "Marcus! How dare you lay hands on your own mother!"
Marcus: "You pushed my seven-year-old son into a eight-foot pool! You could have killed him!"
Evelyn: "I didn't try to kill him! I was trying to teach him a lesson!"
Marcus: "A lesson?! By drowning him?!"
Evelyn: "He's soft! Just like his mother! You're raising him to be weak, Marcus! In this family, Sterling men do not fear the water!"
Sarah: "You are sick! You belong in a mental asylum!"
Marcus: "Sarah, check Toby's pulse. Is he breathing properly? Is he swallowing water?"
Sarah: "His chest is tight, Marcus. He took in a lot of pool water before I pulled him up."
Marcus pulled his phone from his suit pocket, his hands shaking violently as he tapped the screen.
Evelyn: "Who are you calling, Marcus? Don't you dare make a scene with the neighbors!"
Marcus: "I'm calling 911, Mother. I'm having you arrested for attempted murder and child endangerment."
Evelyn: "Attempted murder?! Are you insane?! I am your mother! I built the Sterling trust fund that pays for your life!"
Marcus: "I don't care about the trust fund! I don't care about this mansion! You touched my child!"
Evelyn: "Think about the family name, Marcus! The press in Dallas will tear us apart! The stock in Sterling Global will plunge!"
Marcus: "Let it plunge to zero! I will not let a monster near my family!"
Dispatcher: "911, what is your emergency?"
Marcus: "My name is Marcus Sterling. I'm at 104 Highland Park Drive. I need an ambulance and police officers immediately. My mother just pushed my young son into the deep end of our pool."
Evelyn: "Marcus, hang up that phone right now! I command you!"
Marcus: "The child was submerged and swallowed water. Please hurry."
Marcus hung up the phone, stepping closer to Sarah and wrapping his arms around both her and Toby[cite: 1]. Evelyn slowly pushed herself up from the broken lounge chair, her robe torn, her face contorted in absolute malice[cite: 1].
Evelyn: "You think you can destroy me, Marcus? I own this house! The deed is in my name!"
Marcus: "Then keep your house, Evelyn. Because after today, you will never see me, Sarah, or Toby ever again."
Evelyn: "I'll cut you out of the will! I'll leave every single penny of the fifty-million-dollar estate to charity!"
Marcus: "Keep your money! You can rot in this empty mansion all by yourself!"
Toby: "Daddy... my stomach hurts..."
Sarah: "Oh baby, sit tight. The paramedics are coming right now."
Marcus: "Let's get him inside onto the couch, Sarah. Away from her."
Marcus lifted Toby into his arms, holding the wet, shivering boy against his suit jacket[cite: 1]. Sarah walked beside him, her hand resting firmly on Toby's back[cite: 1]. Evelyn stood alone near the edge of the pool, watching her family walk away into the house[cite: 1].
