Victoria Winters:  Mrs. Stoddard , ever since I 've been in this house , I 've been badgered and bullied and most of the time I 've taken it . But there comes a limit even for me , and when I walked in here and heard you on the phone , that was the last straw ! I do n't lie , Mrs. Stoddard ! I do n't snoop and I do n't pry and I , I do n't steal other people 's boyfriends !
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: And I do n't like being shouted at .
Victoria Winters: I was a fool . I should have packed up my first night here . But I 'm going to stay and I 'm not going to sit by and take all this nonsense .
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard: I think you 're forgetting you 're still in my employ .
Victoria Winters: Then fire me if you want to . Either that or begin trusting me . _ One _ or the other , Mrs. Stoddard .
