3 scenes
Denny
[Denny has arrived home from Daytona for his and Eve's newborn baby daughter named Zoë]

Yeah.

Eve

She's been waiting for her daddy.

Denny

I should've been here.

Eve

Honey, she's a day old.

Denny

I know, but still...

Eve

You're here now. That's why we met to make this perfect little thing.

Eve
[Zoë's stuffed animals were just destroyed by a possessed stuffed zebra, whom Enzo first encountered, which Enzo was thought to be the perpetrator] [gasps in shock]

Zoë?!

Zoë
[from upstairs]

Something happened to my animals! [Denny and Eve rush upstairs with Enzo following behind]

Denny

This is a mess. I don't understand why he'd do this. Zoë, stop crying. I'm gonna go find him. [angrily advances towards Enzo] Get over here. [grabs Enzo by the collar and drags Enzo to Zoë's bedroom] Get over here! Bad dog! Come on! Look what you did! LOOK WHAT YOU DID! You see that?! Why would you do that?! BAD DOG! YOU STUPID DOG!

Eve

Denny, stop! What are you doing? [Denny leaves the bedroom]

[narrating]

I had only one thought: The zebra must have reassembled itself and attacked the remaining animals after I left. I should've destroyed the demon when I had the chance. I should've eaten it, even if it killed me.

Trish

Maxwell, you promised me you wouldn't!

Denny
[reads the letter]

Are you kidding me? I just buried my wife and you're suing me for custody of my daughter?!

Trish

Denny, I'm so sorry. This is not at all what we thought...

Zoë
[arrives]

Finished my egg.

Denny

Sweetheart, go inside and pack your things. We're gonna go home right now.
Maxwell. Evverything's fine, honey. Your dad has some things to take care of, so you'll stay with us for now.

Denny

Zoë, go and get your stuff. We're leaving. Who the hell do you think you are?

Maxwell

You can't do this alone, and you know it. What happens when you're back to disappearing for days on end at those races of yours? You're on a plane every weekend. You missed her birth, for Christ's sakes! [Denny shoves the letter against Maxwell's chest and Maxwell aggressively grabs Denny by the arm] You're not taking her. [Denny, in response, retracts the arm from Maxwell's grasp by force, causing Maxwell to fall and break a rib]
