Simon: Sandro loves Emerald!

Alexander: Stop that! She's like a little sister to me.

Alexander: Yes mom. I badly want a little sister and I found one!

Liza: Alright that's enough. Her parents are here. Should we go and see them?

Simon: Yes!

Alexander: I'll walk you to your parents. Promise me you'll be back, okay?
