"I'm busy, Trystan."
"I know, but I needed to talk to you."
"Hold on, dammit..."
There is a muffled silence for a moment.
"What? I'm on set."
"Well, if this is a bad time, then tell me when would be best to call you."
"It's too late now, geez. I've stopped rehearsing to take the call."
"I'm sorry. I couldn't have known that."
"What is it, Trystan?"
"We need to talk about Secret..."
"As if I didn't know that was going to be the topic of choice."
"What else would it be?"
"Exactly."
"Look, I don't want trouble or court cases or any of that Maury reality TV thing. I'm concerned that I don't get to see her hardly ever and with her getting older it worries me that she doesn't really know who I am or spends time with me."
"Well you did decide to move to the UK against my wishes, Trystan. I told you that with my acting career picking up a move out of the country for you was going to make it that much harder to spend ample time with our daughter."
"Against your wishes? Even in the States you made it harder. It wouldn't matter where I am considering you travel so much anyway and aren't always in the States yourself. This is not about moving country. I know you've been on sets world wide for months at a time."
"How many times are we going to go over this bullshit, Trystan? Huh? How many times?"
"What bullshit exactly? I have a right to my child, do I not?"
"Of course you do. Don't act like you don't or haven't gotten to be with her."
"It's a rarity and it really shouldn't be. It's been ages yet again and I am not mad but this really needs sorting once and for all. I can appreciate you're a busy woman with a career to think about but I am equally her rightful parent who can provide and more importantly give her stability, love and attention. She needs that in her life."
"Hold the fuck up! MY daughter gets more than enough stability, love, and attention from Tiger and me."
"First of all, we are both adults here. You can speak to me like one. She is not just your daughter, Joy. Like it or not, it took the both of us to make her. So for the sake of you playing games, that child should go through life thinking badly of me because you want to play dictator? And how do I know she is really getting that stability? That love? After all, you're always travelling. So is she always with him? A nanny? That's not love. Perhaps she's always travelling? That's not stability. If you wanted a child all for yourself, you should have thought about that when you decided to marry someone for keeps, not trick someone and play games on live television for everyone to see and then hold that child back from them. Can you not understand that you are in the wrong?"
"Dictator? Dictator?! The courts clearly judged in my favor years ago. Secret is surrounded by nothing but all the things you think she is missing. Tiger and I are both with her everyday. I've given you nothing but full access to her as ordered by the judge."
"A judge you paid off no doubt. You know she should have gone to me..."
"Paid off?! Bitch, get off my phone. I'm done with this bullshit with you..."
"Actually, you know what...? I have my suspicions, Joy. I want a DNA test..."
"What did you just say?!"
"Give me a DNA test."
"That's what I thought you fucking said. I can't believe you would even think that Secret isn't yours! If you think you don't see her now, you'll never fucking see her after this!"
"Why wouldn't I think that, Joy? I've never been treated like her father and there were a multitude of men at the time it could have been. Give me that test. A real test. Not one you arranged yourself and threw the results at me on live television with such random insensitivity. A real one. I will pay for it myself and make the trip over. Tell me when."
"Fuck you, Trystan. Fuck you!"
