Lily: Okay, sis, how did he know what your dream car is?

Harper: That’s the million dollar question, sister.

Lily: But did you drive it?

Harper: I did.

Lily: Did you blast the album?

Harper: I did!

Lily: And do you love it?

Harper: I really, really do

Lily: Keep it!

Harper: Are you insane? No.

Lily: Listen, rich people do stupid rich people things.

Harper: Like buy someone they barely know a new car to manipulate them?

Lily: Exactly. Get the title, get the keys and make sure you keep them when he leaves town. This is actually kinda like Stuart, but wonderful!

Harper: Stuart is not that bad.

Lily: You don’t like dogs!

Harper: He’s grown on me.

Lily: Ditch the dog. Ditch the dude. Keep the Bronco.

Aiden: It’s her dream car?

Benedict: You’re asking me?

Aiden: Yes. Please explain.

Benedict: Aiden, what are you on about? Janie ripped me a new one because you went and bought Harper her dream car from something called a vision board and now my wife is mad at ME! Fix this man!

Aiden: Ask your wife why Harper is “unavailable.”

Benedict: I’m calling your security detail to come check on you if you think I’m playing pass the note back and forth about your not-real relationship with my very real, very angry wife.
