In reality, I would never push ye to tell me about her, I only brought her up because ye're so quick to judge me for doin' the same thing. Nothin' improper happened, so ye know! It's awfully funny that ye can dish it out but ye can't take it."

I do want yer acceptance of things but that doesn't mean I appreciate ye yellin' at me."
