Phineas led the store manager over to Alexander, speaking as they walked: "This is the loser we were talking about earlier. We were shocked to see him wearing a limited-edition Givenchy outfit, thinking he must be wearing a high-quality fake."
"But this useless guy stubbornly insisted it was real. So we had no choice but to bring him here to get it authenticated, to let him know just how much of a piece of trash he is. Being poor and wearing fake clothes isn't that disgraceful, but insisting they're real is just wrong."
Phineas' words carried a hidden message, subtly informing the store manager that Alexander was a nobody, so there was no need to worry. He just needed to say it was fake. Alexander shrugged, quickly taking off his jacket and handing it to the somewhat dazed store manager.
