David: This isn’t any of your business. You should keep your nose out of this marriage or else……

Bette walks in behind Tina and stares straight at david who is now frozen in his spot.

Bette: Or else what??????

CHAPTER TWENTY

David is standing there with a shocked look on his face. He is just like a statue not saying anything and not moving a muscle.

Bette: Well David? What was it you were going to say?

David: I…I…. just was….. just kindly explaining….. to you lovely wife here how a marriage is between the two parties involved and that Mary and I will be able to work out our problems ourselves.

Bette: Cut the Bull Shit David! I know what I heard. You think that You can control people or scare them by being some type of bully? You were trying to say that my wife should not get involved in your mariage? Maybe IF you were MORE Involved in your marriage yourself it wouldn’t come to this?

David: What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Bette: I am saying that if someone treats my daughter without respect I will not allow them to get away with it. I happen to know that you have NOT been nice to my daughter all these years and she is tired of living this way. So I am NOW making it MY business because when someone I love gets misstreated I will NOT sit back and allow it.

David: But….But.. I love Mary.

Bette: Oh please don’t insult my intelligence. The ONLY person YOU love is yourself. Now Mary has made her decision that she is done with you and no longer wants this marriage. YOU David need to remember one thing before you decide you are going to make it more difficult on her. You need to remember that in order to get to her you are going to have to go through me. I can make YOUR life A lot more difficult than YOU can imagine. You just think about that before you decide to continue making it hard for my daughter to get what she wants and deserves which is HAPPINESS for once in her life. Now we are leaving this house and taking our daughter with us.
