Luca: You think you can take him down?

Lilly: What does that mean?

Luca: Babe, I’m not fighting with you.

Lilly: Then stop saying stupid things.

Papà: I don’t care about the hotels. Tell him we concede. I’m not going to let my daughter go into the viper’s nest.

Natalia: Papà, please.

Papà: No. You’re too important.

Natalia: Nothing is going to happen to me.

Natalia: The paparazzi are following us around everywhere we go. He’s had to hire extra security because of it.

Papà: I don’t like it.

Gio: This is crazy.

Allegra: I think it’s brilliant. Everyone besides us thinks the two of you are in love.

Paige: Exactly.

Allegra: The entire world thinks this is a real-life version of Romeo and Juliet. There is no way Conti is going to be able to scratch himself without someone snapping him.

Lilly: So true. Have you seen all the online stories about them? Roma is infatuated with them.

Papà: I don’t like it.

Natalia: Do you trust me?

Papà: Of course. I don’t trust him.

Natalia: I can handle him.

Lilly: I’m sure you can.

Luca: Lilly!

Lilly: Get your mind out of the gutter. I meant it as she’s an intelligent girl, she knows what she’s doing.

Natalia: I do.

Allegra: Give him hell.

Mamma: I don’t like this.

Papà: Me either.

Gio: Have you all lost your minds?

Luca: I think they have.

Papà: If your sister thinks she can win then I’m going to back her.

Gio: You are?
