Oh, yes, you stick that knife

of judgment in me,

go ahead, but make no mistake,

his blood is just as much

on your hands as it is on mine.

He did this, though.

This is his doing, not ours.

Jeez.

Can you imagine anything more cruel

to make me responsible?

Why?

Just to weaken me,

make me prove my character?

So, no, I waited.

I waited to get

into that safety deposit box.

I would have waited anyway.

You want to show who's stronger, Bev?

Nobody's stronger than me,

goddamn it.

When nothing is left,

when everything is gone,

disappeared...

I'll be here.

Who's stronger now,

you son of a b*tch?!

You're right, Mom.

You're the strong one.

Yeah.

Barb?

Barbara?

Oh. Barb?

Barbara?

Oh, Barb!

Barbara!

Barbara, please.

Barbara!

Barbara!

Barbara?

Ivy?

Ivy, you here?

Bev?

Bev?

Johnna?

Johnna?

Johnna?

Johnna?

Johnna?

Johnna?

Oh.

Johnna.

Johnna.

And then you're gone,

Beverly.

And then you're gone.
