MAN OFFICIAL236Please respect copyright.PENANAdszb4kJonH
(questions LAUREN & HARLEY) Yes hello... can I help you two?
WOMAN WORKER236Please respect copyright.PENANAWWln6c8puH
(to LAUREN & HARLEY) Yes... what are you two doing here? This government house is NOT a museum...
(HARLEY and LAUREN both appear shy. HARLEY starts to speak up)
HARLEY236Please respect copyright.PENANA9rC5ODQCGi
(questions MAN OFFICIAL) Look I uh... we’re searching for answers into our parents’ death that happened 12 years ago...
(MAN OFFICIAL starts to speak to HARLEY with attitude. HARLEY begins to get annoyed; but remains strong..)
MAN OFFICIAL236Please respect copyright.PENANAxDIkVVp4EJ
(to HARLEY) Well that is a lot time.. and why do you think we would have answers...
HARLEY236Please respect copyright.PENANAdkD0MojHBy
(to MAN OFFICIAL) Because we asked the orphanage. And they told us to ask you because you would have more input information surrounding their deaths. We’d like to know; we’re grown up now.... we’re not 12 years old. We were told they were killed by a drug overdose. But that doesn’t seem fitting to me...
(MAN OFFICIAL puts his hand on HARLEY’s shoulder)
MAN OFFICIAL236Please respect copyright.PENANAat2oYv73Yt
(chuckles to HARLEY) Well young man... you sure seem to have trust issues... the orphanage is dedicated to safety and truth. And you don’t believe them; that doesn’t seem fitting to me.
HARLEY236Please respect copyright.PENANAScExZ4874O
(to MAN OFFICIAL) Well home come my heart doesn’t trust what I’m being told. I feel like the “DRUG OVERDOSE” story is complete false. My instincts tell me otherwise...
(MAN OFFICIAL chuckles then grows firm with HARLEY)
MAN OFFICIAL236Please respect copyright.PENANA0O7n0K0ISI

(LAUREN starts to make her way toward the exit of GOVERNMENT HOUSE. HARLEY refuses to leave and glares at the MAN OFFICIAL)

(Annoyed; to MAN OFFICIAL) I don’t like your attitude... I believe there is something you are not telling me... What is that I wonder? WHAT?
(MAN OFFICIAL grows annoyed with HARLEY; HARLEY glares at MAN OFFICIAL)
MAN OFFICIAL236Please respect copyright.PENANAPgOqaHZe66
(Shocked to HARLEY) Yeah you smart prick... I’m your bloody father... I didn’t want you; nor did your mother.. I didn’t want you or your sister. I was offered an estate by the government in return if I gave you and your twin sister over to the orphanage. And so I did.. I don’t regret it one bit...
(HARLEY is shocked by the MAN OFFICIAL’s confession - the fact that he is the true biological father THE WOMAN OFFICIAL shows no remorse - being the true biological mother of both LAUREN & HARLEY)
