"... Eavesdropping? I was just passing by.
"Besides, I'm worried about my daughter's safety, okay?
"Willow, I'm telling you. Just because Sean has been shelling out a lot of money lately doesn't mean I’ve given you two my blessing.
"You better know where to draw the line. You can't just hand out what's most precious to a woman."
