"The people want to know, why is your love story special?"
Ada: Oh, gosh. Because it was so explosive! I hated Grant for so long... he was everything I knew I should be, but wasn't. Plus, I knew he hated me.
Grant (frowning): I never hated you.
Ada: Don't lie, honey.
Grant (frowns deeper): I'm not. Sure, I thought you were... wasting your potential, and that you were spoiled, but hate wasn't the emotion I felt. Not even close.
"You worked together, right? How did that go?"
Grant: It went alright.
Ada: No, it went terribly! I was the intern, and I wasn't exactly excited by the job.
Grant: That's true. I remember how angry you were at your father for forcing you to work at the family company.
Ada: Yeah. It wasn't the job, really, but having to report to Grant, who was the CEO at the time.
Grant: Sweetheart, I'm still the CEO.
Ada (rolls her eyes): Yes, yes, of course. But back then I hated that fact. I also knew he wanted me to fail, so I did my absolute best to prove him wrong. I was examplary.
At this, Grant Wood chuckles and runs a hand along his jaw.
Ada: What? I was, wasn't I?
Grant: Yeah, you were, and I was proved wrong indeed.
