A scene from Notes on a Scandal 2006
Sheba Hart

What you say about me, about Richard - you're not fit to shine his shoes. And Ben, and Polly, that I'd be happier without them. Why did you do it? [slaps Barbara] Because I didn't help you collect your cat? [slaps Barbara again] You've cost me my family!

Barbara Covett

No, no, take some responsibility! I gave you EXACTLY what you wanted! You'd still be stuck in that marriage without me.

Sheba Hart

What?

Barbara Covett

You can't accept it yet, but...

Sheba Hart

You think I wanted to be here with you?

Barbara Covett

You need me, I'm your friend!

Sheba Hart

You put me in prison, I could get TWO years!

Barbara Covett

They'll fly by! I'll visit you every week! We've so much life to live together!

Sheba Hart

You think this is a love affair? A relationship? What, sticky gold stars, and - and a strand of my hair? And a receipt from Pizza Express? It's a flat in the Archway Road and you think you're Virginia frigging Woolf! And where did you get my hair? Did you pluck it from the bath with some special **** tweezers?

Barbara Covett

You know it's rude to read a person's diary, it's private!

Sheba Hart

We're not companions! We're not friends! You don't even like me!

Barbara Covett

That's not true, I only have tender feelings for you, only love!

Sheba Hart

You're barking, **** mad. You don't know how to love. You have never, your whole life. Me, Jennifer Dodd. You're nothing but waste and disappointment! You bitter old virgin. You're lonely for a reason. They loathed you at school, all of them. I was the idiot who bothered, but only because no one told me you're a **** vampire! So what is it, Bar? You want to roll around the floor like lovers? You want to **** me, Barbara?

Barbara Covett

Please don't diminish our...

Sheba Hart

Our WHAT? What?

Barbara Covett

Give it back. I know you! Selfish and vain, you think you have a divine right! You don't belong in the world, you belong here! You big baby!
