Giovanni : You know him?
Audrey : He's Anne Marie's ex.

Nathan : I see...
Giovanni : Do you know why he's in Los Angeles?
Nathan : Business! He didn't tell me what exactly but it's business.
Giovanni : Thank you for the information. Just don't mention this conversation at all to anyone. Bene? (good?)

Avery : Mhm

O F F I C E

Enzo : Is it about The Dragon?
Luciano : No actually......it's about our friend Nathan.
Enzo : Nathan?
Luciano : One of our men saw him talking to Giovanni Romano at a coffee shop.
Enzo : What's the connection? I don't think Nathan is involved with that shit.
Luciano : I didn't find a connection with Giovanni but I did with his wife. Do you remember Audrey?
Enzo : No
Luciano : Audrey! Anne Marie's best friend! You were into her remember? But she never fell-
Enzo : Yeah yeah I remember her.
Luciano : Nathan is Anne Marie's ex. Logically he's friends with Audrey.
Enzo : I understand that but why was Giovanni there?
Luciano : I said Audrey is his wife.
Enzo : But he's double her age.
Luciano : Yup
Enzo : I don't think we should worry about Nathan. He doesn't know anything about what we really do.
Luciano : You're right! Anyway, are we going to the party?
Enzo : Yeah why not? Hopefully you'll find someone for yourself.
Luciano : Nathan's friends are mainly celebs. We don't want someone in the public eye.
Enzo : Right
Luciano : So no work today?
Enzo : I promised my wife some time. You and Lara can do the investigating.
Luciano : Can I stay here? I don't like being with Lara.
Enzo : Yeah that's fine.
