SOPHIE I did and now I ’ m living with a murderer .
ELI You have to believe me . It was in self-defense .
SOPHIE Just the other day , I was picking YOUR teeth off the floor , and now this ? I can ’ t ! I just can ’ t anymore , dad .
She runs out of the bedroom .
ELI ( calls out )

SOPHIE ( O . S .) ( screams )
Like a bullet in the head . Bye .
