Allan: Okay, love, you can be at ease now. Supriya is gone.
Zoe: Oh, of course I am at ease, it was just Supriya.
Allan: So why did you pull out those knives on her then? Zeke says you wielded them like a ninja.
Zoe: Come on, I just did some tricks I learned in my cooking classes.

ABOUT HALF AN HOUR LATER…

Zoe: Do you and her have any unfinished business?
Allan: None. After we broke up, she made up with Justin. Maybe they had issues and she just got lonely, I don’t know… Would you really fight for me with a knife?
Zoe: I don’t know at this point, Ally. All these people: Supriya, Daisuke, Brytani, Bella, Elisabeta, Keira… I’m not made of stone, you know?

Allan: Leaving my past behind isn’t being easy, but I’m trying, I swear.
Zoe: Well, you’ll have to try harder. You’ve quit booze and drugs, but now I have to deal with your exes?
Allan: They’re just that, Zoe, exes. And most of those relationships happened while we were divorced.
Zoe: Brytani maybe, and Keira. But what about this Fabian guy?
Allan: (To himself) Fabian… Of course she would bring him up.
Zoe: Al?

Allan: Fabby is just my friend and co-worker.
Zoe: But he has feelings for you, doesn’t he?
Allan: It seems so, but I am not quite sure.
Zoe: Do you have feelings for him?
Allan: (Sighs) Zoe, you gotta give me a break and trust me for once, okay?
Zoe: You didn’t answer my question.

Zeke: Mom, dad, why are you whispering?
Allan: Er, because…
Zoe: Because this is grown-up talk, honey.
Lukas: You heard them, it’s grown-up stuff, you’re still a kid, Z.

Zeke: Well, being a kid sucks!
Lukas: Yeah, wait until you’re a teenager.
Anika: Mom and Dad are acting weird.
Lukas: Mom and dad are weird; you should be used to it by now.

Zoe: Ok, I take it this isn’t the place or the time, so we’ll talk about this later, okay?
Allan: That’s an excellent idea, dear.
Zoe: Just promise me you will answer all my questions with truth.
Allan: I promise.

Allan: Now, how about we forget adult stuff, and we all go to the beach?
Zoe: What will we do there, tan in the sun, collect shells or build sandcastles?
Allan: All that. And we’ll also swim, ride jet skis, and snorkel.
Lukas: Under the burning sun? I think I’ll pass.

Allan: Ok, I’ll look up what other things to do in Sulani. Let’s see, sailing, surfing, moto skiing, swimming with dolphins…
Zoe: Uh, Al?
Allan: Yes?
Zoe: How about we let the kids go do all those things and you and I stay here, erm, relaxing in the jacuzzi?
