"These past few hours, it's been extraordinary, but now it's time to watch you truly suffer." "Your mother has fought the good fight." "Now it's time for you to say goodbye." "[glass shatters]" "[Taiko laughing on cell phone]" "[Sobs]" "Everly." "Pick up the phone, Everly." "I'm not done with you yet." "I wouldn't do that." "Fuck you." "[dog barking]" "Everly!" "Everly!"

"Maybe you can't bear the thought of living without me." "Maybe no matter what I do you just don't want me gone." "Hmm?" "Maybe I go across the hall and get your daughter, make her watch the rest of this." "Does little Maisey know that her mother is nothing but a used, discarded whore?" "Keep my daughter's name out of your mouth!" "[kick misses] [chuckles]" "Your bastard child should be honored that I even know its name, that I let it live," "in spite of its traitorous mother!" "[gasping] [screaming]" "No!" "[gasps]" "[gasps]" "Frankly, death by my sword is an honor you don't deserve." "[gasping]" "I would take your heart, but your betrayal has shown me that you don't have one." "You stole my life." "I owe you no loyalty." "I fucking hate you!" "[gasping]" "I loved you." "Tough shit." "It's infinitely more painful to remove a tattoo than it is to receive one." "And the same is true for love." "[gags]" "You don't have to go through the pain of removing your love for me so I will take back my tattoo as a souvenir." "[chuckles] You branded me like a cow." "Take it."
