　　發⽣咩事？!（In Cantonese）
　　（What happened？!）
　　EVELYN
　　Yes， yes of course， everything is very very okay. But I think I forgot something at home-
　　DEIRDRE
　　Sit down.
　　Evelyn looks from Waymond to Gong Gong， terrified……
　　She sits. Nobody notices as the scribbled instructions fall from her pocket onto the ground.
　　Deirdre crushes her protein shake bottle.
　　DEIRDRE
　　I have a feeling I’ll regret this later…… but you can go.
　　EVELYN
　　What？
　　（to Waymond）
　　你和她説什麽了
　　EVELYN
　　What？
　　（to Waymond）
　　What did you say to her？
　　GONG GONG
　　廢話少講.等我同佢講.幫我翻譯.
　　（In Cantonese）
　　GONG GONG
　　Probably something useless.
　　Let me talk to her. Translate for me.
　　DEIRDRE
　　You have until I leave the office tonight to drop everything off.
　　6pm. Last chance.
　　EVELYN
　　Tomorrow is better， we have an important party-
　　WAYMOND
　　Thank you. 6pm. Thank you.
　　DEIRDRE
　　Last chance.
　　Evelyn and Waymond exchange a look. Deirdre’s stare never leaves Evelyn as she pushes Gong Gong away.
　　Waymond spots the instructions on the floor. He picks them up， confused for a moment. His eyes go wide -
　　
　　18 INT. IRS 10TH FLOOR - MOMENTS LATER
　　
　　Evelyn briskly pushes Gong Gong towards the elevator periodically looking behind her as Waymond catches up.
　　GONG GONG
　　我仲未⽼得嗮， 推我翻去， 等我同佢講數.
　　（In Cantonese）
　　GONG GONG
　　Turn around. I may be old，
　　but I still know how to negotiate.
　　WAYMOND
　　等⼀下!事情不是你想的那樣.
　　（quieter just to her）
　　我知道你爲什麽怪怪的.
　　WAYMOND
　　Evelyn…… wait， wait it’s not what it looks like.
　　（quieter just to her）
　　I know why you are acting so strange.
　　EVELYN
　　在説什麽？
　　EVELYN
　　What are you talking about？
　　Waymond holds up the divorce papers. But from Evelyn’s perspective， she sees the written elevator instructions.
　　EVELYN （CONT’D）
　　So…… you know about this？
　　WAYMOND
　　當然……這是我的.
　　WAYMOND
　　Of course……this came from me.
　　EVELYN
　　It’s you……？ Like…… you， who was in the elevator.
　　WAYMOND
　　對啊……I was in the elevator
　　WAYMOND
　　Yeah……I was in the elevator
　　EVELYN
　　Come back next week.
　　GONG GONG
　　你地⼜兩個⼜係度吵咩啊？
　　（In Cantonese）
　　GONG GONG
　　What are you two bickering about？
　　Evelyn looks past Waymond to see Deirdre charging out of her cubicle in their direction. She’s coming for them.
　　Evelyn grabs the papers， throws them on the ground， then presses the elevator button.
　　EVELYN
　　I’m not ready to fight yet.
　　WAYMOND
　　（really sad）
　　Maybe we don’t have a choice.
　　Deirdre is getting closer. Evelyn presses the elevator button again and again.
　　GONG GONG
　　沒膽匪⼥， 做咩都半途⽽廢.
　　（In Cantonese）
　　GONG GONG
　　Little girl. Always running
　　away. Never finishing what
　　you started.
　　His words cut to Evelyn’s core. Evelyn looks up at her distorted reflection in the elevator door， and then down to her fist as it tightens.
　　EVELYN
　　⽼⾖， 你錯勒!你⼀地都唔瞭解我.
　　（In Cantonese）
　　EVELYN
　　Father， you are wrong about me……
　　Meanwhile， Waymond picks up the divorce papers from the floor and sees the scribbles on the back.
　　WAYMOND
　　Switch shoes to- WHAT!
　　Evelyn pushes past Waymond and PUNCHES Deirdre in the face.
　　Deirdre’s body crumples on the ground. Evelyn looks at her fists surprised by how much it hurt her hand.
　　WAYMOND （CONT’D）
　　What are you doing？!
　　Deirdre cowers in fear with her hands over her head. People run over to see what the commotion is about.
　　DEIRDRE
　　Help! Call security!
　　WAYMOND
　　妳幹嘛打她？!
　　WAYMOND
　　Why did you hit her？
　　EVELYN
　　You told me to do it!
　　WAYMOND
　　妳瘋了嗎？!
　　WAYMOND
　　Are you CRAZY？
　　EVELYN
