And the conversation about beauty... the idea of dangling their daughter to get what they need, or at least to be left alone.. sad. Great story.

The dialog is terrific, and the scene blood-chilling. The withdrawal of her partner, and the wisdom of her daughter are in such perfect balance. What will she do?
