In the shoe shop, Lauren and Nicola have a brief exchange about the Jimmy Choo shoes Nicola is buying, before the conversation quickly moves on to Lauren revealing that Charlie has remortgaged the house without Nicola's knowledge in order to save the shoe factory, which is the real point of the conversation.

Note that this very much depends on whether you read Lola/Simon as a male drag queen, or as a trans woman. I think there are is scope in the movie to argue it either way, but I've chosen to read him as a male drag queen, because he does spend a large portion of the movie presenting as male.
