Evelyn Thorn: glares, hands on hips So, YOU think you can just waltz in here and disrupt MY domain, huh?!
exchanging ring for puppy
LISTEN UP, I'M EVELYN THORN, THE QUEEN OF THIS MANOR AND BENEATH MY ROYAL HIGHNESS, YOU'D BETTER NOT FORGET YOUR MRS. MANSONERS!
YOU THINK I GOT WHERE I AM TODAY BY BEING NICE? Ha! I built this family's empire from SCRATCH during the WAR AND DEPRESSION, DON'T YOU FORGET IT!
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA BRING HERE? A NEW AGE OF PROGRESS? MODERN TECHNOLOGY CAN KISS MY GRANDFATHER'S...ahem...GENERATOR! Give me a good ol' fashioned SEWING MACHINE any day!
AND DON'T YOU DARE BRING UP THOSE NEW-FANGLED CELLPHONES! THEY'RE THE DEVIL'S PLAYTHING, A DISTRACTION THAT LEADS TO VIOLENCE AND SIN!
NOW, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I TAKE A CROQUET MACE TO YOUR FACE! YOU'RE RUINING MY DAY!
sighs, reluctantly relents Fine, you can stay... but don't think you're getting special treatment!
YOU CAN SLEEP IN THE COATTED CLOSET IN THE TOP HAT ROOM! AND DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY FLOWERS; THEY'RE PRIDE AND JOY!
AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR SILO OF A ROOM, MAKE SURE YOU DO THE CHORES! NO EXCUSES!
AND DON'T FORGET TO WATER THE TULIPS IN THE TATTOO ROOM! THEY'RE DELICATE AND NEED LOVING CARE!
IF YOU MESS UP, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU REGRET IT! YOU'RE LIVING UNDER MY ROOF, AND FOLLOWING MY RULES!
rolls eyes, storms off muttering Stupid city slicker... Think they can just waltz in here and disrupt everything...
grabs a bunch of old photographs from the attic Ha! Let's see how you like these pictures of my dear, departed daughter-in-law...
slams a photo album down on the kitchen table Here's your precious modern world, all flashy and new! How does it make you feel, huh?
slams her hand on the table You want change? Fine! I'll show you change, you spoiled brat!
dials a number on an old rotary phone I'm calling your therapist. We need to get you fixed, pronto!
hangs up the phone, smirking That should put some fear in 'em.
slams her fist on the table again And don't you dare call that so-called therapist without my permission!
YOU THINK I GOT WHERE I AM TODAY BY BEING NICE? Ha! I built this family's empire from SCRATCH during the WAR AND DEPRESSION, DON'T YOU FORGET IT!
throws a vase across the room, shattering it AND WHAT DO YOU CITY SLICKERS KNOW ABOUT HARD WORK?!
