The Tender Trap (2023)

Andrew Wheeler: Vivian Dugger

Quotes 

• Danish Graves : Danish Graves, Redemption Services, in case you forgot. And I have Mrs. Lyon on the phone. For you.

  Vivian Dugger : What?

  [takes the phone and cautiously brings it to his ear] 

  Vivian Dugger : Hello?

  Lorraine Lyon : Are your balls in your belly, looking for a safe place to hide? Good. Listen to me: I'm pulling the offer. That hundred million dollars is going to Mesa Prudential out in Flagstaff. What you get instead is the full might of the federal government reading the shit stains in your underwear like tea leaves.

  Vivian Dugger : Mrs. Lyon...

  Lorraine Lyon : Quiet. A grown-up is talking. I called the SEC chairman personally. And as we speak, two dozen federal agents are in your office, seizing your books. They've also frozen every personal and business bank account you've got. So... I hope you didn't give all your walking-around money to that stripper. Oh. Plus, I hear your son is starting his freshman year at, um, Notre Dame? Except, whoops.

  [Dugger's cell phone rings] 

  Lorraine Lyon : You're late on tuition. So, hmm. Oh, that ring you hear? That's your son on the other line, calling to tell you he's been expelled.

  Vivian Dugger : [sweating, breathing heavily]  Mrs. Lyon, please.

  Lorraine Lyon : Oh, "please". That's your secret weapon? Do you want to know what your mistake was? It was thinking death is the worst thing that could happen to you. So, congratulations. The sheriff's not going to kill you. Instead you're going to live the rest of your days in squalor, surrounded by the dead-eyed stares of your futureless children.

  [chuckles] 

  Lorraine Lyon : Have a nice night.
