Allan prepares to rehearse his lines with Keira, who in this film -again- will not be his romantic partner but his antagonist.

Again, the producer did not want him and Keira to be a couple. Allan has no objection to do love scenes with Fabian, he’s attractive and one of his best friends; besides, they were already lovers in his (very) brief participation in Residency of the Heart. Still, Allan can’t help but miss Keira’s kisses, in and out of the scene.

Keira: Looks like we’ll be enemies again.
Allan: Yes, thanks to Marin.
Keira: Marin is the director, but it was Imane who handed out the roles.
Allan: Really?
Keira: Yes, she prefers us apart, she thinks it’s what best for you. Plus, she believes you and Fabby make a great couple on stage.

Keira: Fabby is so lucky! You are such a great kisser, and he has such a crush on you…
Allan: Yeah, well. Can we stop talking about kisses and Fabian, and proceed to rehearse?
Keira: Of course.
Allan: Okay, here I go…

Allan: How dare you insult me, missy? Now, draw your sword, I challenge you to a duel for Ubald’s love!

Allan: No one in this life ever insulted Tibald Culpepper and got away with it!
Keira: Damn, I seem to have been type-casted in the traitor role.
Allan: No, this time the traitor will be Fabian, though he does not betray me, but you.

Keira: Yeah, he gets to kiss Tibald Culpepper, and go out with you after the shooting.
Allan: *Sighs* I’m sorry, Kei.
Keira: That’s okay.

Keira: Good luck on stage, Ally. I hope you win a nomination this time. You truly deserve it.
Allan: Thank you, you too…
