Featured Scene – Right Between The Eyes
IVAN: Look at me, Tiara…what do you truly see?
TIARA: I see a warm, gentle face of a man who has enormous love in his heart.
IVAN: That is a canvas held up over the face of the man I truly am. I raised you up as my own daughter, therefore you are prejudice against ill opinion of me.
TIARA: Yes, I may be prejudice, but what I speak is truth, regardless.
IVAN: You are a kind niece.
TIARA: Uncle Ivan, you must stop beating yourself up.
IVAN: Even if Eleanna comes through in time and her husband saves us, I assure you, he will wish to take ownership.
TIARA: Ownership?
IVAN: Of course. You can’t expect Mr. Clusterfield to simply hand over money and not take ownership.
TIARA: Why not?
IVAN: No man of any right mind should.
TIARA: Would it be such a bad thing?
IVAN: For him to take ownership?
TIARA: Everything will still remain within the family’s keep.
IVAN: Not in the way it should. I’ve failed my descendants. I am best to place a revolver in no other direction but my own.
TIARA: Uncle! How can you utter such harmful words?!
IVAN: …It’s true, it’s true! I cannot keep such thoughts inside myself any longer. Perhaps if I exclaim them, I won’t act upon them. Why didn’t I do something more? Why was all of this responsibility placed upon my head? It never should have been me. I wasn’t meant to take things over. Had I only known, I would have raised myself up differently as your father did, this way I would meet the cause head on, without lowly excuses. I am exhausted with this slow fading demise.
TIARA: Eleanna will come through for us and when she does, promise me you will never speak in such tongue again…
