Mrs Marshall: I really miss Bella. I’ve been thinking about her since we left Meteor Falls. I don’t want your father to ruin her life.

Mr Marshall: Morning sweetheart. Its good you’re awake. (Hands her money) Use that to buy me two cigarette packs.
Bella: Uh, No way Dad.
Mr Marshall: What do you mean “No way”?
Bella: Mom was right. Your smoking habit is getting worse day by day.
Mr Marshall: Mom was right? So you want to follow your useless mother’s footsteps.
Bella: Atleast she doesn’t smoke and drink. Look, The main reason I stayed behind is to make sure you don’t so something stupid because I care about you…
Mr Marshall: Something stupid? Are you now trying to insult me?
Bella: No. I’m just saying that too much smoking is really bad for your health. Even if you don’t have health issues now, You’ll definitely have in the future.

Solange: That’s a great idea.
Mrs Marshall: Yeah but can you drive well?
br@den: Can I drive well? Wasn’t I the one who drove us down to Winterhaven?
Mrs Marshall: Hmm. I just don’t think it’s a good idea.
Solange: Why not? Let the boy apply for the job. Besides, It’s the King of Winterhaven we’re talking about here. He’ll definitely pay br@den handsomely.
Mrs Marshall: Alright then. When are you going to the palace for the interview or…?
