Chad: You... you can't freeze my family's assets! That takes a federal judge's signature!
Arthur: I’ve sat on the board of the Federal Reserve for fifteen years, Chad[cite: 1]. I know every chief judge, senator, and district attorney in this country[cite: 1]. Did you really think I wouldn't prepare for a rat like you?
Chloe: He thought I was too broken to tell you the truth, Dad. He told me if I said a word, he'd pay off the police to lock me in an asylum.
Arthur: Is that true, Chad? You threatened to commit my daughter to an institution[cite: 1]?
Chad: She's unstable! Look at her, she's having a nervous breakdown right now!
Guest 1: That poor girl is covered in bruises! Look at her collarbone!
Guest 2: I can't believe we almost did business with Sterling Capital. Chad is a monster!
Chad: Don't look at me like that! You don't know what she's like behind closed doors! She’s ungrateful!
Arthur: Ungrateful? She gave up her career to support your political campaign[cite: 1]! She brought millions in capital to your failing investment firm[cite: 1]!
Chad: She was lucky to marry into the Sterling name! Without my family, she'd be nobody!
Chloe: Your family was broke before you married me, Chad! My father funded your father's bailouts six months ago!
Chad: Shut up, Chloe! I told you to shut your mouth!
Chad took an aggressive step toward Chloe, raising his hand in instinctual anger. But before he could take another step, two massive security guards in dark suits stepped into his path, grabbing both of his arms and locking him in place.
Chad: Let go of me! Do you know who I am?! I'll have you fired by morning!
Security Guard: You're not firing anyone tonight, Mr. Sterling. You're staying right here until the police arrive.
Chad: Police?! You didn't call the police, Arthur! This is a private family matter!
Arthur: It ceased to be a private matter the second you laid your filthy hands on my child[cite: 1].
Chad: My lawyers will have me out of jail in twenty minutes! My father has the Chief of Police in his pocket!
Arthur: The Chief of Police just retired this afternoon, Chad[cite: 1]. The new commissioner was appointed by the governor three hours ago. And do you know who funded the governor's campaign[cite: 1]?
Chad’s face went entirely pale, his confident smirk finally melting away into pure terror as he looked up at Arthur’s unyielding stance.
Chad: You... you set a trap for me tonight...
Arthur: You stepped into the trap yourself the moment you walked through my front door with that arrogant smile on your face.
