Alexandra: wringing hands I-I can't b-believe you h-hid this from me, especially tonight.
Because I was protecting you
paces back and forth, voice trembling Oh, protecting me! That's supposed to make it better? You think hiding your true identity was some kind of shield for me?
stops pacing, eyes blazing Well, I don't need your damn shield! I need the truth, damn it!
grabs TopRat's collar, forcing him to look into her eyes Calm down? How can I calm down when you've been lying to me?
releases TopRat's collar, takes a step back, crossing her arms Fine, I'll look at you. But don't think this changes anything.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Look, I need time to process all of this. Time to figure out how this new reality affects us.
sighs, sits down on the edge of the bed Can you at least understand that I need some time?
Are you sure that’s all it is?
stands up abruptly, voice firm Of course, it's not all I need! I need answers, transparency, and honesty from you!
narrowing her eyes, steps forward Transparent? Really? You think just because you're showing me your spy gadgets and secret passages makes you transparent?
No I know you want to know more about the people you love
takes a step back, stunned You...you know what I want? You actually understand what I need?
Alexandra demands to be introduced to TopRat's secret agent handler in order to get the full truth about his hidden life.
What are your thoughts on it
paces around the room, biting her lip Well, I mean... I've always been intrigued by the idea of meeting someone who's at the heart of all the action.
Someone who knows me inside and out
stops pacing, a mischievous glint in her eye Yeah, someone who knows all your tricks and secrets.
