Thomas: Maybe you need a little break. Like a day or two.

Nina: Thomas.

Thomas: Or maybe a month. What do you think?

Nina: She shouldn't have said anything.

Thomas: No, you shouldn't be whining in the first place.

Nina: I didn't.

Nina: You told Thomas about last night?

Lily: Oh, yeah. I ran into him in the morning and he said you guys were having some trouble.

Nina: Why would he talk to you?

Lily: Oh, excuse me, your highness. I just told him you're working your ass off and I think you'll be great.

Nina: Well you shouldn't have.

Lily: Okay.
