Come in.

Is this Principal in my house office?

Yes, come on in.

Hello.

Hi, I'm Kat.

Kat. Uh... Marie?

Yes. Ah, okay.

Problems with my daughter?

Yes. Um... So... As you know, she's our, um...

star player and she's had a bit of uh anger issues over the years

and surprise um we've we've done our best to try and take

care of her and and give her the benefit of the doubt you know keep the the

number one player in the in the state on our team so uh are you aware of what

happened i have no idea and she usually texts me

Well, last, I think it was Wednesday.

Yeah, it was one of the days last week.

She assaulted the tennis coach.

Okay. They got into an argument about whether or not a ball she hit was in or

out.

Lots of cursing, screaming.

Kind of through a tantrum.

And when the coach tried to coach her and give her a better

understanding of the rules of the game and make her realize that she still has

to follow them, she started throwing tennis balls at the coach.

Okay.

One of the balls hit the coach in the eye.

He has a black eye, for sure.

His nose was bloodied.

She's got a really good arm. Maybe she should sign up for softball or

something. But he's been in the hospital and hasn't been able to come back

to work.

There's something like a scratch cornea. I don't have

the paper with me. I was just about to head home for the day. Oh, my goodness.

And then the assistant coach tried to step in and deescalate things, at which

point she threw a racket at the assistant coach.

And the other players were present, as well as some of the

parents.

So we can't make this disappear.

Well, you know...

That coach totally has it out for her. Is there proof of this? Did anyone see

it? Yeah, the parents were recording the practice.

I mean, do you have the medical records?

He's probably playing this up a little bit.

No, we... I had the sign-off on the insurance claim.

Okay. Well, where does that leave us then?

Detention?

A slap on the wrist?

Um, no.

I wouldn't have called you in for detention.

Now... Over the years your daughter's been in the school, we have, like I

said, gone out of our way to try and take care of her. We know how important

your family is.

Well, she carries that team.

Right. She carries the team, but she also is a

little hellion, to be honest.

It's not just the coach that we've had issues with in the past. You know very

well. The amount of times she's had detention and been suspended for

screaming and cussing and those sort of things.

We tried to get her some counseling with the school counselor.

Perhaps if you were a better parent, you would have... Now, wait a minute.

Who are you to be making comments about my parenting?

She's just a little headstrong.

There's a...

Big difference between a little headstrong and assaulting your coaches.

That vocabulary is a little extreme, don't you think?

No, that's assault.

That's like the textbook definition of assault.

Well. And doing it in front of the other players, not to mention all of her other

misbehaviors. This has been going on for years, like I said.

There's only so much that a school counselor can do.

Okay.

What do you suggest?

We are going to have to explode.

I think that's a bit much.

Yeah, you know, we have, like I said, we've gone, we've been over backwards to

try and... I think you can bend a little further.

No, we can't. You see, you're not the only important family in this school.

And it's recorded.

It's already gone around PTA meetings.

It's gone up to... I haven't heard any of this.

Maybe if you were a better parent and more involved, you would have.

Like, we have to take action.

Look, we can take her home, we can ground her, take away her cell phone,

take away her credit card.

I'm sure we can get through to her. That would be great, had you done that a

couple years ago when this problem started.

Like I said, your family isn't the only important family in this school.

It's been recorded.

It's gone around the PTA.

It's gone up to the board. Did you come to the last council meeting?

I'm a little busy for this. Her father can handle it.

Well, if you had known, it was a big topic of discussion at the

council meeting.

So, let's get here.

Okay.

So...

As you can see here, assault or committing any serious felony

on school grounds is immediately expulsion.

I think that's just a little too extreme.

Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way, and it's not just going to end with

expulsion.

See, I'm your lawyer, so I would assume you'd be aware of the laws.

that if here in this state if anyone witnesses an assault happen they can

press charges i don't know what the the coach's plan is or the assistant coaches

she's very headstrong as well and the assistant coach is

kind of tired tired of the abuse from your daughter so they might decide the

press charges and i know that with the city If someone press charges

and then changes their mind, the city will pick up the charges.

So it looks like before your precious little Tiffany gets

a chance to award it on any of these dollar ships, she's going to be a ward

of the state.

Probably for a couple years because the way I understand it is each object that

someone hits somebody with is a different count.

Not to mention the five or six parents that are in the stands, the students.

I understand.

There has to be something that we can do.

Yes, really, the only option for you is to call your partners at the

law offices. What do you need? More money? Does the school need new

uniforms? I mean, there has to be something that we can do here. She has

to get into a good school.

You can't. She could be the next tennis star.

And, you know, when I was in high school, I could have been the next track

car if I hadn't blown out my... But it is what it is.

Your daughter committed a crime.

I'm sure there's something that can make you forget about that.

If it was up to me, she would have been gone a long time ago.

Oh, come now.

You hardly feel that way, really.

No, I really do, because I've seen her probably more than I've seen any other

student over the years.

because of your influence already, I've had to bend over backwards

to try and... I'm sure there's more of an influence that I can make on you.

Think about it.

There's something that you want that'll make this go away.

Yeah.

Let me see just a second.

Yeah, Frank?

Go ahead and don't worry about my office tonight.

Yeah, go ahead, man. It's the weekend. Enjoy your weekend.

So you want to be a good mom now, huh?

Well, I think it's the only choice she's leaving me.

You want to take care of your little Tiffany?

Let me take care of her problem.

there was something see where she gets it from

now

let's

make this clear since i figured this is where this was going i need to make sure

that her

circumstances go away permanently.

Well, I will say

if you can make me

happy, then you'll get something that'll make you happy.

He's quite the negotiator.

But as long as we have a deal.

I think we have a deal.

Perfect.

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Nobody can find out about this.

It's part of the deal.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Well, at this point I don't think you have much of a choice if you want to

take care of your little girl.

But I get what you're saying.

Good.

You're taking care of your little girl, don't you?

I wouldn't be brushing shit under the rug so much if I had known that this was

on the table.

I knew we'd end up here.

That's how you got your partnership.

Suck your way to the top.

It's the easiest way.

sense of that comment.

A camera?

That was not part of the terms.

You added terms. I added terms.

As long as this goes away.

You do a good enough job, it'll go away.

I bet you do this to all the mothers.

That's not any of your concern.

You're such a fucking pervert.

You gonna watch this?

Yeah.

Every time your daughter acts like a little bitch, I'll watch this.

Good, you'll remember where she fucking gets it from.

Give me a big smile and say, I'm a good mommy.

I'm the hottest mommy you've ever had.

Oh, yeah.

It's okay.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I thought you fucking liked that.

Does

your

boss know that you're such a pervert?

That's none of your business.

Does the judge know that you're such a pervert?

Yeah. Does your daughter know?

You say we get some good stuff, huh?

Why is your pussy all wet up here?

You're not really that into it, huh?

I think you like using it.

There are holes to get at, huh?

Well, I don't think that's any of your business.

It is, because I'm about to use them.

You want to spread it for me?

Tiffany, I took care of your little problem.

You were in so much trouble.

Yeah, we'll talk when I get home.

Oh, yes.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I'll deal with you then.

Take a shake and get the hell out.

We're close.

School's out.

You got it.
