Opening Script:
An evening in the house of the Lates. A husband and wife are fighting.
(Grabbing hold of her wrist)
Audrey: Charlie, don't please don't!
Charlie: Haha, now your on your knees. Should have thought of that before trying to runaway.
Audrey: I wa-wa-was
(Charlie slaps her)
Charlie: Don't want to hear it woman. I fell in love with you the second I saw your face. I thought to myself about the wonderful life I would create for you. And now you want to runaway because we live in a dump? I love you Audrey.
(falls to the ground and starts crying)
(Audrey cries in the corner)
(Loud knocking on the door. Audrey wipes her tears and opens the door)
Audrey: Who is it?
Police: LAPD
(Audrey opens door)

Audrey: No, you're making a mistake
