  Diane Campbell : It does in a lot of people's minds.

  Abby Perkins : Look, Diane, you can't be waffling like this. We're about to start a trial. I'm not gonna let you cave in at the last minute because of fear. You're gonna take the stand, you're gonna tell your story, and you're gonna be strong, okay?

  Diane Campbell : I don't think I can.

  Abby Perkins : Diane, something that I haven't told you, they're all this. My ex-husband used to batter me. He would hit me, he - I know how debilitated you feel. I know how hard it is for you to stand up to him, but you have got to. The first step towards getting on with your life is winning this lawsuit. And we gonna win.

  Diane Campbell : Okay.

  Abby Perkins : Okay. Let's go.
