Alexander: [smirking] "Let them. I'll show them possessive."

[Scene: Black SUV following]

Amelia: "Uh, Alexander, we have a tail."

Alexander: [grinning] "Just my security team... or my stalkers. Hard to tell."

Amelia: [reading text] "'Leave Alexander while you still can'?"

Alexander: [nonchalantly] "Oh, just my crazy ex."

[Scene: Amelia's facepalming]

Alexander: [laughing] "You think you can out-sass me?"

Amelia: [smiling] "Bring. It. On."
