Mr Leon: (To Helen) So its true?
Helen: Dad, what are you doing here?
Mr Leon: Orora told me you we’re R@p£d and got pregnant! First of all, you didn’t tell me and second of all, you want to ab-ort it? You’re in a lot of trouble!!!
Helen: (Angrily looks at Orora)

Mr Leon: What on earth were you thinking? What if you died during the ab-ortion process?
Helen: I’m really sorry Dad
Mr Leon: Oh… So now you’re sorry?

Mr Leon: You’re keeping that baby! And you know what? You’re grounded for a week!
Helen: You can’t ground me, I’m 21, I’m an adult!
Mr Leon: As long as you’re still living un-der my roof you will abide by my rules! (He angrily walks out of the room)
Helen: (looks at Orora angrily) I trusted you….
Orora: Helen plea-se forgive me, I didn’t want you to take your life. Dad’s right, what if you had died in the process? I’m your sister and I should be concerned for your well being.
Helen: Just leave me alone! (She goes to her room)

Elena’s Grandmother: Where’re you going?
Elena: I’m going to Mr Leon’s house
Elena’s Grandmother: What?? After what’s happened? You can’t go there!

Elena: (angry) I’m quitting my job here.
Mr Leon: Awwnnn….Too soon?
Elena: I appreciate everything good you’ve done for me Mr Leon, But you’re a horrible man, A wolf in a sheep’s clothing.
Mr Leon: (laughs hysterically) You know….I’m suprised you haven’t gotten me arrested yet
Elena: I have my reasons….
Mr Leon: So you still haven’t changed your mind? You still don’t love me?
Elena: I alre-ady told you that’ll never happen!
Mr Leon: You’re really ungrateful, You can’t even l@ywith me even after everything I’ve done for you!
Elena: I can be grateful by saying “Thank you” instead of offering you my b©dy, I’m not like other women, I have my dignity!
Mr Leon: To hell with you and your dignity (He runs towards her and gr-abs her) You’re not getting away this time!
Elena: (screams and struggles to break free from his grip) No! Let go of me!
