Masked (2010)
“I back up a full pace. No one notices me. Corey is too busy screaming at Rosie. Rosie is too busy telling him it’s not what he thinks, that she was only trying to protect the baby, that there was no way her dad would have let her take on some guy’s baby all by herself, no way. She tells him, “I love you, Corey. I always loved you. I’ll never love anyone else.”
“He didn’t protect you,” Leon says. “He didn’t even try. He ran out on you.”
“He came back,” Rosie tells him. There’s a sharpness to her... tone, like she wishes he would go away.
“Yeah, well, where was he when your dad was keeping you a prisoner?”
“Prisoner?” Mr. Mirelli says. “What is he talking about, Rosie? When did I ever keep you a prisoner?”
“It’s nothing, Daddy. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
“Why are you saying that?” Leon asks. “Because you’re afraid of him? You don’t have to be afraid anymore, Rosie. I won’t let him hurt you.”
“Hurt her?” Mr. Mirelli says.MoreLess
