Abigail : [her father appears behind Joey] Father?
Joey : [falls to the ground] Lazar?
Father : I've gone by many names over the countless years.
[growls at her and laughs]
Abigail : Father, don't!
Father : I can smell your blood, I can taste it!
Abigail : You don't understand. Please stop.
[Gets in front of them]
Abigail : she saved my life!
Father : [shouting] ABIGAIL!
Abigail : She was here, when you weren't.
Father : I came when you needed me.
[kneeling down]
Father : I'm here now.
[He kisses Joey on the hand]
Father : I think you should leave. It's getting awfully close to dinner time.
Abigail : See you around, Joey.

Joey : What the fuck?

Abigail : If you let me out, I'll let two of you live.
Peter : Oh. Which two?
[Sammy slaps him]
Peter : What?
Abigail : It's a surprise.
Frank : Fuck this. Let's just kill her now.
Abigail : You tried that, Frank. If you would like to open this door and try again, please do. My offer just expired. Now I'll only let one of you live, whoever let's me out.
[Joey and Peter both draw their guns at each other]
Frank : She's fucking lying, you moron. You touch that door, and you're as dead as the rest of us.
Peter : Maybe it's worth a try.
Abigail : We have her Peter. That's why we did this, so we can trade her for our lives.
Abigail : That will never happen. Joey was right. No matter how many of you I kill, my father doesn't love me come and he's not gonna trade me for anything. So go on, Peter, let me out.
Joey : Peter, if touch that door, I will shoot you.
Peter : I'm sorry guys.
[Reaches for latch with Joey shooting him in the torso]
Peter : Ah! You shot me!
Joey : I barely grazed you. Give me your gun so I can patch you up.
Peter : You're sure crazy.
Joey : I prefer "impatient." Frank, help me out. Sammy, watch her.
Sammy : Fuck that shit. Hm-mm.
Joey : Sammy.
Sammy : I'm not staying down here with that. Fuck that shit, Joey.
Frank : I got this.

Joey : [to Abigail trapped in elevator] We want to talk
Abigail : Please, please let me out. I'm scared
Joey : Cut the shit. You're really good at pretending to be a little girl!
Abigail : Thank you.
[Does a curtsy]
Abigail : I've had a few centuries of experience.
Joey : Tell us how to get out of here and we'll let you go.
Abigail : No.
Sammy : [lunges forward with Joey thrawting her] Hey, what's gonna happened to me? Am I gonna turn into a vampire?
Abigail : Maybe.
Sammy : Oh, my God! She said "maybe"!
Peter : [consoling Sammy] It's okay.
Frank : Listen little lady, or ma'am, whatever. We're very sorry, okay? We didn't know who you were. We thought you were a regular 12 year old girl.
Abigail : You were gonna beat and torture me when you thought I was just a regular 12 year old girl.
Frank : Yeah, well... like I say, we're very sorry. We would never have taken you if we knew who your father was
Abigail : You did work for him, didn't you?
[They all look at Frank in dismay]
Abigail : Haven't you wondered why I brought you here?
Peter : You brought us here?
Abigail : [puts hand on forehead] Jesus Christ. There was never any money. I planned all of this. Lambert works for me.
Sammy : What are you talking about?
Abigail : Don't you know, Jessie?
Sammy : What did you just call me?
Abigail : Jessica Hurney. You started your career siphoning money from your affluent parents bank accounts. Hedge funds came next, then private offshore accounts, and eventually much bigger fish. One in particular.
Sammy : I can give it back.
Abigail : Terrence Lacroix. Muscle for the Montreal Broussard family. Did it bore you snapping necks for pay? Enduring endless times from your colleagues about your stunted intellect? Is that why you stole from your whole crew who just happened to be a tiny subsidiary of our whole empire? How long did the money last, you weak, disloyal inebriate?
[Peter looks guilty]
Abigail : former detective Adam Barrett. You thought you could infiltrate our New York arm under deep cover. But you liked the life a little too much, didn't you? The power you had when you were free of rules and regulations. It became an addiction. How empty did you feel when you finally arrested our three lieutenants you'd work so hard to get close to? And how empty did you feel after I ripped up their bodies in the hotel pent house because of you? You changed your name, you left town, and you never saw your family again. But it wasn't for their safety, was it, Detective Barrett? Finally, we have the tragic Ana Lucia Cruz. Former army medic drummed out of service for shooting up Uncle Sam's morphine.
Joey : I was injured in the field.
Abigail : You tried to take care of your son, before abandoning him to his fuckup of a father.
Joey : Shut up.
Abigail : You became an underground doctor for some very shady people. But one day, you were just too high to do your job, and instead of removing a bullet, you nicked an artery, and someone very important to my father's business bled out. But you and Detective Barrett have something in common. You never went back for your son.
Joey : Shut the fuck up! And what do you tell yourself, huh? That you want to be your daddy's little errand girl? No, he did lose interest in you. That wasn't a lie. How many of your father's enemies you're gonna have to kill until he loves you again?
Frank : If this is about revenge, why didn't you just kill us? Why'd you bring us here?
Joey : Because it isn't. This is just a game to her.
Frank : Bullshit. She was screaming at the house and Dad triggered the alarm.
Joey : That wasn't even her father. That wasn't Lazar. And for what, because you're fucking bored? For your fucking entertainment?
Abigail : What can I say? I like playing with my food. You're the same as all the other meat sacks I've brought here over the years. Nothing different about any of you. Nothing special. Just something to help me pass the time.
Joey : Quick question. Who's inside a cage right now?

Joey : [Frank is searching for the turning wall book] You looking for some light reading, Frank?
Frank : Shut the fuck up.
[Finds the book]
Frank : And Then There Were None.
[Realizes wall is immobile]
Frank : Agatha fucking Christie!
[Drops book on floor and starts pulling more books out onto floor with increasingly intense range]
Frank : You fucking playing me? Fucking ballerina fuck! Stupid fucking dancing fucking vampire fuck! Fuck!
[sits on steps]
Joey : You good?
Frank : So what the fuck now?
Joey : She was already healing. You saw, it too.
[Walks across room peering into fireplace and then has an epiphany]
Joey : grab something. We're gonna break through this wall.
[Uses pool cue to demolish wall]
Frank : Will you fucking stop already? She's not going anywhere.
Joey : She's waiting for it to get dark, and then... we're fucked!
[Yells]
Joey : Fuck!
[Under breath]
Joey : God damn it.
[Sits in steps]
Frank : [Ana looks through empty bag for lollipop] Aw. You run out of candy?
Sammy : I'm scared.
[Joey caresses her arm]
Sammy : Was that true? What she said about your son? That you left him?
Joey : Yeah. But I got clean. And I was gonna go back for him. That was... that is the plan.
Sammy : That's good. How often do you get to talk to him?
Joey : Tried calling him. I just, um... . I can't do it. That's why I took this job. With that money, I can start over, you know? A reset.
Frank : Boo-hoo. Fucking bullshit. It's not about the money. Money's just an excuse. You didn't go back for your kid 'cause you're scared of being a piece of shit mother. God, everybody's got to be a fucking victim now. "Oh, I left 'cause I was on drugs. Oh, I was on drugs 'cause I I got hurt." Own your fucking shit and go be a mother to that kid. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt a fucking nerve?
[Sammy gives Frank the finger]
Sammy : "Reset", Oh my God.
[Gets up]
Sammy : I don't need to hack the locks. I just need to find a power source. And if I can find a power source, then we can just short it.
Frank : What, are you gonna unplug the fucking house?
