Could one use:
1) Maybe not anybody.
instead of:
2) Maybe not just anybody.
I think it is done here:

THE GRAY MAN | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube
The dialogue is cut into two parts and action scenes are interposed between the two parts, so you have to go from 1:24 to 1:40.
One guy says: I can kill anybody.
The other replies: Maybe not anybody.
I think it might be acceptable here because the second person is repeating what the first person said.
Gratefully,
Navi

even aware of it, but the amount of "echoing" in conversation is
vast.
I don't know whether writers who are renowned for realistic dialog,
such as Elmore Leonard, pick up on that. Or whether it's done in the
movies made from their (his) novels.
