NICK: Do I have to explain this every time? After Greta and I have been legally married for twelve months I’m entitled to everything she has. That’s 50% of millions for us, Yvonne. It’s already been nine months, so if you can just hold out and not become completely psychotic for another few weeks we’ll be together again, just you and me and a huge bank account. Or I could just walk away today with the clothes on my back. Which would you prefer?

YVONNE: It looks like the prank calls will have to continue for a while longer then...

Notes on the Film
I wanted to write a psychological thriller.
Nick is married to Greta, but is secretly with Yvonne. His plan is to divorce Greta once he's been with her long enough to claim half her fortune. But then he starts to fall in love with Greta...
It's got a great twist at the end. If you think you might be interested in producing 'A Surprise Turn,' or if you just want to read the script, please contact me.
