\"No, Melissa. No,\" Cox continues. \"There's only so much. Come on, go back to the Heights,\" snarkily referencing the younger actress' role in \"In the Heights.\"

\"Stop imitating me!\" Cox yells, before huffing to herself, \"Oh, so pathetic!\"

The cute exchange got more than 560,000 likes on Instagram in less than a day.

The pair will share the screen again when the fifth \"Scream\" film comes out next November. See the trailer for the film here.
