Because you are my idol.’

There’s so much going on. I know when I was in Cabo I said I wasn’t gonna fill every space and I just wanted there to have some time for me to do nothing,’ as they flash back to earlier in the season where Kim revealed her, ‘intentions for the year.’

She reads that her character Siobhan, ‘turns Anna around to look at herself in the floor-length mirror. She looks absolutely amazing. Look at this woman. Do you seriously think anyone is gonna try to f**k with her?’
Kim adds in confession, ‘Scott will always lighten the mood and just have fun with it, which I think will kind of ease my mind, at least until I get to New York and realize, “This is happening. This is real.”’

Kim adds, ‘Just make sure it’s a private entrance and exit and all that,’ as Scott adds, ‘The thing is, townhouses are kinda on the street, but if you’re gonna have security at night, who cares.’
Kim adds, ‘Well what if I wanna like sneak around town,’ as Scott adds, ‘And get your f**k on? You’re allowed to get your rocks off here and there after a long day of work, let someone come in there and pound the pavement.’
Kim looks up at him from her phone and says, ‘I just need new vibes, new energy,’ with a laugh, as Scott says, ‘I get it.’
‘I have no idea what this script is saying,’ Kim says, as she repeats the line from before about no one wanting to ‘f**k with’ her character.
