"First, let's set the mood!" "Candles!" "Who are you?" "Then, music!" " What the hell?" " Next, flowers!" "And for the piece de resistance..." "The ring!" "Kara, sweetie, it's like I said." "I'm your one true love, your soulmate, your one true pairing as the kids say." "My name is Mxyzptlk and I love you, Kara Zor-El." "Tell me..." "Will you marry me?" "Hey." "I don't know how you got to this planet," " but she's with me." " The other suitor!" "I didn't see you there, tall, dark and bland-some." "You're barely there, let alone my romantic rival." "No!" "What..." "Invisible is a good look on you." "Let's play to your strengths." "Mon-El?" "Hey." "Hey." "I'm going to kill him." "What did you do with him?" "Relax, he's just letting it all hang out in the DEO." "This is how it should be." "Just you and me, together." "Without Mcgurk-El around." "stop!" "Stop." "I don't know who you are or how you got here, mix..." "Mxyzptlk." "It's spelled like it sounds." "All right then, Mxyzptlk, just start again, and start slow." "Where are you from?" "They call me the inter-dimensional man about town, but it doesn't matter where I'm from, sweet cheeks." " So let's get this knot tied." " What?" "It's... are you crazy?" " You can't just put me in a wedding dress." " Why not?" "It's Vera Wang." "This is not okay." "Okay." "I'm sorry, I came on strong." "I'm just enthusiastic to finally be here with you." "How do you even know who I am?" "I watched you cross the dimensions." "An eternity of lovelessness." "There's no one like you where I'm from, Kara." "No woman as strong, or independent, or as beautiful, or as brave, or as bold..." "Okay." "Look." "I'm flattered." "But I'm not going to marry you, Mxyzptlk." "It's funny, I'm all seeing and all powerful, but that's one of the few things I can't make you do." "That and make you fall in love with me and/or stop you from killing yourself and/or make you drink orange juice for some reason." "Everything else, yes." "But go figure." "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm just not interested." "Don't be sorry, buttercup, I know what you're doing." "You're playing hard to get, which is utterly charming and delightful, by the way." "What?" "No." "No." "I'm not..." "You're flustered, confused, your heart is racing?" "I have that effect on women." "Let me tell you how this works." "I chose you as my mate, and now I will wow you with breathtaking feats of ardor until you fall madly in love with me." "And fear not, Kara Zor-El, you will fall in love with me." "Once you've been adored by all powerful Mxy, there's no going back, see?" "Ciao, Mio Amore." "You've just been visited by a fifth dimensional being." "Wait, you've seen one of these things before?" "Not here on earth." "On Mars, one of them moved the Xan'xie mountains halfway across the planet during the Zook Uprising." "Fifth dimensional life forms possess the ability to warp our reality to their own whims." "Abilities that would appear, to all intents and purposes, to be magic." "On Daxam we had a zero tolerance policy for those creatures." " You had them on Daxam?" " Yeah." "And those guys knew how to party, but they're dangerous." "Very dangerous." "Agent Schott, scan the archives for anything resembling fifth dimensional incursions here on earth." "Close encounters of the fifth kind." "You got it." "Oh, hey." "J'onn." "We're ready to send your message to Mars whenever you are." " What message?" " On earth it's customary to send messages on Valentine's day." "We had a similar custom on Mars." "It's too bad you can't call her." "We Martians are a psychic people." "All our communication was through thought." "But when we had something really important to say, we would often write it down." "On some planets, to write something is to truly say it." "I'm sure m'gann will be very happy to hear from you." "Thank you." "Hey." "So, this day of Valentine, is that something we're supposed to..." " Maybe we should talk in private..." " Okay, private." "This is good." "So, you and me..." "Um, there was something happening... between us before" "Mxyzptlk showed up." "And I really, really want to get back to that." "Oh, yeah." "Me, too..." "But first, I have to get rid of him." "I mean, of all the girls in all the galaxies, that the little imp had to pick you" " to pursue you as his mate..." " But don't worry." "Because before you know it, he's going to be back in his dimension, and you and I, we can celebrate "the day of the Valentine" together." "I promise." "Black coffee, a sesame seed bagel, dry, double toasted." "Gross." " Thanks, Danvers." "You know me well." " Yeah." "Oh... what's that?" "It's from my mom." "It's kind of silly." "She's always made such a fuss about Valentine's day." "Here I am, 28 years old, and she still sends me cards." "I always wondered who bought those." "Let me see this." ""Daughter, thank you for being who you are." ""You will always be my star." Oh, my God..." "I... yeah, it's kind of cheesy." "I mean, Valentine's day's kind of dumb, right?" "The ridiculous notion that you need a manufactured holiday to prove that you care?" "It just proves that people are patsies willing to throw away money on cheap chocolate and wilted roses." "Makes me want to puke." "I hate Valentine's day." "Me, too." "I knew we were right for each other, danvers." "Would..." "Can I get another lallorian lager, please?" "'Cause Valentine's day sucks." "Was this your spot?" "He says Lallorian Lager is for weak-minded idiots." "Like you." "Yeah..." "That is a very, very valid point." "So why don't I buy you gentlemen something..." "Something stronger, right?" "Put the human down." "I hate bullies." "Yeah, yeah." "I do too." "Thank you for bailing me out." "Not that I needed it because I totally had those guys." "Oh, yeah." "That guy probably would've choked to death on your bones as he ate you." "I mean, that..." "That was awesome." "So..." "I'm-I'm winn..." "Lyra strayd." "So where you from, lyra?" "Starhaven." "I'm sorry." "Star..." "Are you serious?" "That's the number-one planet on my bucket list!" "My friend told me that Starhaven's like most idyllic planet in the universe." "Right?" "Like you gotta love any place where the air smells like Cinnamon." "Smelled like Cinnamon." "Clearly your friend hasn't been off-world in a while." "The blight came and made the air smell like death." ""The hurt of one is the hurt of all." ""The honor of one is the honor of all."" "It's a passage I translated from..." "The book of the ten-pointed star." "My father read that to me every night when I was little." "Wait, are you serious?" "That's, like, the one starhaven book I know." "What are the chances?" "Have dinner with me tonight." "Really?" "Like a date?" "You do owe me your life." "So..." "Yeah, I guess I do..." "And it is Valentine's day." "Yes, it is." "We gotta go!" "Move!" "Hey, boys." "What's the hurry?" "You're wasting your ammo." "You know they can't hurt me." "But will bullets hurt them?" " Mxy?" "What..." " Hello, blossom." " What are you doing?" " I saw this in a movie once..." "No!" "Thank you, Supergirl." "Let the wooing begin." " Where is Mxyzptlk now?" " I don't know." "He snapped away." "I thought he was just after me, but he almost killed those guys." "He's a lot more dangerous than I thought." "Agreed." "Agent schott, have you found records of human dealing with these life forms?" "Uh, yes." "Actually, lots." "If you just take from it what you will, but between Genies, Djinn and Leprechauns," "I mean, humans have been documenting contact with reality-bending creatures for centuries." "And how did they slay them?" " On Daxam, we crush them." " What?" "No." "Absolutely not." "We learned the hard way that the only way to deal with them was to kill them quickly." " Let me..." "Let me take care of him." " No!" "No." "We don't kill." "I'm not going to let some imp stalk you and live." "I can take care of myself, Mon-El." "Let me handle it." "Oh, hey." "So we're going to go non-lethal?" " Yes." " No." "The DEO has some recovered alien artifacts in a sub-basement storeroom." "Maybe one of them can send Mxyzptlk back to the fifth dimension, or at least suppress his powers." "I'll have them brought up." "Good." "Fifth dimension..." "I can handle Mxyzptlk, but it's mon-El who's infuriating." "He has some grudge against imps." " Do you think mon-El's jealous?" " Uh, no." "Of Mxyzptlk?" "No." "I mean, that would be crazy." "Though Mxy is persistent." "Yeah..." "Oh, hey!" "Why don't you take these to Maggie?" "Maybe she'll enjoy them." "What's the matter?" "I need some advice about Valentine's day." "Oh my God, it's your first Valentine's day with Maggie!" "That's so exciting!" "Oh." "You have to go to Il Palazzo." "The bolognese-stuffed calamari is to die for." "I'm sure they're booked, but Ms. Grant was a regular, so..." "Yeah..." "I don't need a reservation, Kara." "That's precisely the problem." "Maggie hates Valentine's day." "Well, that's..." "That's kind of a bummer." "Look, I know." "I know it's silly, but after so many Valentine's days alone," "I was just finally excited to be in a relationship where we could celebrate all the cheesy stuff couples celebrate." "That's not silly at all." "I'm sure she doesn't really hate Valentine's day." "She called it a manufactured holiday for patsies." "Okay... okay, so the trimmings aren't her style, but you can celebrate your own way." "What kind of stuff does she like?" "I don't know." "Guns?" "Anything else?" "Well, she loves scotch." "You know, that's, um..." "Good." "And, oh, she loves tiramisu." "I mean, could eat it for every meal, literally." "It's like her happy food." "And she loves bonsai trees, which I know is totally random, but I mean, find it adorable." "That's all great." "So why don't you create a tailor-made Maggie Valentine's day?" "And you can re-invent the holiday for the both of you." "Yeah." "Thanks, Kara." " Parasite!" " How is he still alive?" "I don't know." "Stay here." "Hey." "I thought you were dead." "You're the one who's dead." "Remember me?" "Are you okay?" "I was going to ask you the same question." "Look!" "Up in the sky!" " It's a bird!" " It's a plane!" "It's..." "Superman?" "Not quite." "Mxy?" "Are you serious?" "Thought you could use a little extra help, supey-baby." "Um, hello." "I was helping her so..." "You?" "That's a laugh." "You're lucky I flew in when I did, Supergirl." "I mean, do you think this fraud could have helped you save the day?" "What superpower?" "I guess he could have leaped over parasite like a gazelle." "Hey, that's..." "Oh, would you like to see my superpower?" "'Cause I will just rip you apart with my bare hands right here if you're interested in that." "Spoken like a true daxamite." "You're nothing but a thug." "I mean, this Goddess, she requires a man who's equal in her powers and wits." "Who can come to her aid when villains suddenly pop up." "Wait... parasite..." "This was all you?" "Don't you..." "Don't you see what he's doing here?" "He's creating havoc so that he can play the hero and then impress you." "What's wrong with that?" "She's been slumming it with you for so long, she doesn't realize what's out there." "Why don't you just say your name backwards, buddy, and just zap back to wherever you came from, okay?" "Wait, that's how you send him away?" " Don't you even..." "You have a rat face." " What is wrong..." "Stop." "Stop." "Enough." "Mon-El, get out of here." "Go." "Me?" "What about him?" "I told you I was handling this, now go." "Fine." "I thought he would never leave." "Finally, darling, we're alone." "What is it going to take to get you off this planet?" "It's like I said." "It's going to take two little words" ""I do."" "Or things will get very bad for your world." "Hey." "I cannot believe you sided with that fast-talking, Nefarious Twerp." "I did not side with him." "You sent me away so you could have private time with your stalker!" "I sent him away so that he didn't snap you off to Siberia, and plus, you were being out of control!" "Oh..." "I'm sorry that I was busy, uh, defending your honor." "I'm not some damsel in distress." "I'm Supergirl!" "I can defend myself, and more importantly," "I told you I was handling it." "Well, Kara, sometimes you're not a good judge of what you can handle." "So..." "There it is." " Really?" " Yes." "Is that why you didn't tell me that the secret to getting Mxy off earth was to get him to say his name backwards, because you didn't think I could handle it?" "No, I didn't tell you that because it never works!" "First of all, it's hard enough to say it forward, and second of all, that guy is a motor-mouth, but he's not stupid." "You should have told me." "You are so hard on me, Kara." "Okay, but why not him?" " I mean, that guy... hey, hey!" " What?" "God!" "He conjured up a supervillain and set it loose on national city." "Did you give him an earful?" "No... no, no, no." "Because Mxy snaps his fingers, and there's flowers in your loft." "And he snaps his fingers, and you're in Vera wang..." " Oh, my God!" " What?" " You're jealous." " I'm... that is ridiculous." " Oh, is it?" " You know what, Kara?" "I knew you that you were a little full of yourself, like, a little bit." " Full of myself?" " But this is off the charts..." "What do you mean?" "I'm not jealous." "Okay?" "I'm angry, because you have an unfair double standard." "Yeah." "You're right, I don't hold you and Mxy to the same standard, because I expect bad behavior from him, but from you," " I expect much, much better." " Oh." " No, no, no..." " What?" "You do not get to turn this around on me." "Because I'm the one in this situation, at this moment..." "Good to see you, Dana." " That is supposed to be mad." " You know what?" "I thought you changed." "I really did," " but you are still the same macho..." " Oh, here it is." " Say it!" " Egotistical..." " Daxamite?" " Yes!" " He's a Daxamite!" " As you've always been." " This was a mistake, you and me." " Agreed." " We shouldn't have..." " Nope." "Good." " So, are you going to kill the Imp?" " No." "Hey, pal." "How's it going?" "Oh, you know." "Believe it or not, I'm having a girl issue." "Good timing." "Hey." "Hey, you're great with girls." "They throw themselves at you left and right." "Yeah." "Not all of them." "Aw, come on, hit me." "I need, like, a relationship Pearl." " Come on." " Yeah." "Uh..." "Things were a lot easier on daxam, when I objectified women and didn't care about anyone." " So..." " Okay." "I feel you." "Caring is, like, the kiss of death." "What is in these?" "Oh!" "Only the coolest alien artifacts ever." "Ah!" "We look with our eyes, okay?" "See?" "Now, I know that the "e" in DEO stands for, like, "extra-normal,"" "but this..." "I did not know we had stuff like this, dude." "What would this do to the Imp?" "I have almost no earthly idea, but it tested off the charts on fifth dimensional energy." "Now, the spectrometer needs to update before I can do anything else." "It's going to take, like, six hours, so..." "So, meanwhile, I'm going to go be brave, and go to Valentine's day dinner with, uh, that girl." " Godspeed." " Yeah." "Danvers?" "Hey, I was just about to make my entrance, but I can't without the lights and music." "You're not happy?" "I told you I hate Valentine's day." "What part of that got lost in translation?" "I'm sorry, I just thought maybe I could change your mind." "I have one pet peeve, danvers, and that's not being heard." "Okay." "I'm listening." "No, forget it." "I'm outta here." "Hey, no!" "You don't get to just walk out, Maggie." "This is a relationship." "You're the one who told me not to push my feelings down, so..." "Now it's your turn." "You want to know?" " Yeah." " Okay, yeah, fine." "When I told you that my parents were supportive of my coming out, I lied." "What?" "I had this friend when I was 14, Elisa Wilkey." "We'd hang out in her parents' basement, watching horror flicks, and smoking cigarettes." "I..." "She was the first girl that I knew that I liked in a way that was different." "And I thought that she liked me, too." "And so on Valentine's day, I put a card in her locker declaring my feelings, and asking her to the dance." "Well..." "She gave that card to her parents." "And then they called my parents." "And that's how I was outed." "And then my dad kicked me out, and I had to live with an aunt for three years." " Maggie, I'm..." "I'm sorry." " Yeah, whatever." "But I don't understand." "Why didn't you just tell me the truth?" "I didn't want to scare you." "Okay?" "I wanted it to be better for you." "I gotta go." "Hey." "Hey, hey!" "I'm so sorry." "Sorry I'm late." " Better have a good reason." " I do." "I just got us reservations at Saxon's, which, on Valentine's day, is, like, harder than getting a hellgrammite to eat leafy Greens, so..." "So we are set for 8:00." "And you can tell me about starhaven, and I'll tell you about growing up in Newark." "And then I thought we'd get a nightcap." "You know, just talk some more." "I just feel like, um, when dating, it's better to get to know each other..." "I want you." "Yeah." "That's good, too." "Kill... tip... seize... um..." "Kltpzy..." "Kltpzyxm..." "Kltpzyxm!" "What language is that?" "It's Mxyzptlk spelled backwards." "Maybe mon-El was right." "I mean, how am I going to get him to say this?" "I hope winn found something that will work." " Where is he?" " He should be here." "Most of the relics tested negative for fifth dimensional energy, however, there was one that might be of some use." "Odd." "Mon-El." "Mxyzptlk!" "Show yourself, you smug, grand-standing dandy." "Oh, bummer sticks." "It's just you." "I've come to challenge you, Mxyzptlk." "A daxamite duel?" "I never had one of those before." " For Kara's hand?" " Yes." " To the death?" " Yes." " I accept." " Good." " But first..." " Buddy." "If we're going to take part in a proper duel, we're gonna do it like the gentlemen that we are." "What the..." "How do you like the duds, monsieur Hamilton?" "I'm a burr man, myself." "He gets a bad rap, but let's be honest, he was the one who knew his way around a pistol." "Pistols at dawn!" "So revolutionary." "I love it." "So if I shoot you with this, you'll die?" "That is generally how these things work, yes." "But don't throw away your shot, because you'll only get one." "I only need one." "Did you really think I would hand you a loaded gun that could actually kill me?" "You daxamites really are thick, aren't you?" " Oh, no." " Oh, yes." "You may have cut me off from the fifth dimension, Daxamite, but I still know a thing or two about the old fisticuffs." "How could you think she'd ever want to be with someone like you?" "Why, you think she's gonna be with you?" "Face it, what do you've got to offer her?" "I can give her anything." "There's no contest between you and me, and you know it." "I'm a God and you're a loser!" " You're a dead man." " Strike that." "Reverse it." "I hear you're allergic to lead." "Stop!" " Kara." " Sweetheart." "This volatile maniac tried to kill me!" "It'll be better for all of us once I snuff him out." "I'll marry you!" " You will?" " You will?" "Yes, I've thought about it, and you're right." "You're gifted, brilliant, and together we can do anything." "Take me as your wife." "Darling, you and I are going to be the ultimate power couple." " Kara, no..." " He talks too much." "Let's get this show on the road." "I'll get our officiant, you want the pope, a lubavitcher rabbi?" "It would mean the world to me if I followed proper Kryptonian custom and got married on the soil of my people." "Kryptonian soil coming up." "No." "I meant..." "I meant the fortress of solitude." "I'll wear my mother's dress." "So meet me there tomorrow at noon." "I'll see you soon..." "Wife." "Yes, I'm coming." "Thank God you're still here!" " Mon-El..." " It's not too late." "Okay?" "You're right." "You're right, okay?" "I'm jealous." "I wish I could snap my fingers and give you anything you wish for, and it kills me that he can do that stuff for you and I can't." "And I acted badly, okay?" "Very badly." "But please..." "Please do not marry him." "I will be better for you..." "It's not just the jealousy thing, Mon-El." "It's the patronizing ego thing." "I told you I could handle Mxy, and you didn't listen." "I swear to rao, I will listen, Kara." "I will respect you, just please, just give me another chance..." "I'm sorry." "I can't." "I'm marrying Mxyzptlk." "Kara, no." "Look, I'm not in love with him, but it's the only way to stop him from hurting other people, and from killing you." "And you know what?" "He makes an excellent point." "He has limitless power that he can use to help me fight for justice." "We'll make a great team." "I thought we were going to do that." "We're too different, mon-El." "I'm sorry." "Alex?" "Hey, Kara." "Alex around?" "I was looking for her, too." "She's not here." "I was hoping I could see her." "I need to apologize." "I acted like an idiot last night." "Look, I know Valentine's day might not be happy for you, but it means something to Alex to spend a romantic holiday with someone she cares about." "Maybe you might want to consider making some changes for her." "I gotta go." "Kara, darling!" "Where are you?" "It's time!" "Kara!" "You said noon and here I am!" " Kara!" " I can hear you." "Where's the dress?" "The flowers?" "The pigs in blankets?" "See, that's the thing, Mxy." "I'm not going to marry you." "What do you mean?" "I brought you to the fortress in case you got violent again." "'Cause I didn't want anyone to get hurt when I broke the news." "It's not going to work between us." "Ever." "But you said..." "You don't love me?" "Love isn't making demands of someone, or forcing them to marry you." "Love is putting someone else's needs above your own." "So you brought me all the way up here just to reject me?" "I think you're going to have to explain your catastrophic lack of judgment to your family." "What's that, uncle Jor-El?" "If you have to hold Kara down till she sees reason and becomes my bride, you will?" "I offered you the world, Kara Zor-El." "Anything you wanted." "And you reject it all?" "I could have made you a God, like me." "I don't want to be a God, Mxy." "I just want you off of earth." "You don't get to tell me what to do until after we're married!" "Sorry, uncle Jor-El." "You think this is the worst it can get?" "One snap and I'll crack your world in half." "Then where will you go, Kryptonian?" "I will hound you across the stars, Kara, until you admit that you love me." "I'm done with this, Mxyzptlk." "And I'm done with you." "You wanna get nuts?" "Let's get nuts." "Female automated voice:" "Now sealing the fortress of solitude." "What are you doing?" "Setting the atomic cauldron to self-destruct." "The atomic whatnow?" "The fortress has one of the most powerful fusion furnaces on earth." "I'm overloading the sunstones at its core." "Okay, well, Kara." "Let's not be too hasty, huh?" " Maybe we should..." " Atomic cauldron fusion increased 2,000%." "When the cauldron goes up, it'll explode with the force of a 400-megaton bomb." "The fortress is sealed so should contain the blast, but anyone inside it will..." "This sounds bad." "You can't stop me from killing myself." "It's in the rules." "Okay." "There's only room for one crazy person in this relationship." "Maybe we should just, um, control-alt-delete this, and we can talk it over with a cup of thoni tea." "Being with you would mean being at odds every day with my heart, Mxyzptlk." "I'd rather die in here than be with you." "Atomic cauldron detonation countdown initiated." "Well, here's the thing." "I'm calling your bluff." "I don't believe that you'd destroy all of this." "Atomic cauldron detonation in one minute." "Okay, please." "I'll do anything." "Just don't die." "I'm sorry." "I'm not going to tell you the cancellation code." "So there's a code?" "I can't read this." "Atomic cauldron detonation in 30 seconds." "I don't have time to learn your stupid moon language!" "Please, Supergirl." "I'm literally begging you." "Don't do this." "I'll do anything." "You want world peace?" "You got it." "I can make that happen." "Just don't kill yourself." "The world needs Supergirl." "Fifteen seconds to atomic cauldron detonation." "Please." "Tell me the code." "Push that one." " Yes." " That one." "Five seconds to atomic cauldron detonation." "That one." " Uh... this one." " Four." " That, that and that." " Three, two..." "Atomic cauldron detonation canceled." "Yes!" "No." "You made me write my name backwards." "Yup." "On some planets, to write something down is to truly say it." " You tricked me." " No." "No, I followed the rules." "If you say your name backwards, you go back to the fifth dimension, no questions asked." "That's it, you nasty woman." "Now I'm gonna..." "No." "It's started." "I just wanted..." "I wanted someone to love me." "You can't force love, Mxyzptlk, you have to let it find you." "Hey." "Hey." "Everyone is staring at me." "Let them stare." "You..." "I mean, you look just beautiful." " I didn't think you'd call." " Why?" "Last night was, like, beyond amazing on just so many levels." "I figured it was a one-time thing for you." "An experience." "I've never met a human that was actually up for dating an alien." "Well, now you have." "Look, I'm not..." "I'm not naive, okay?" "I know that there are lots of people who don't think that humans and aliens should mix." "If we're being super honest, potentially falling for an alien is not what scares me." "It's falling for anyone." "Just have kind of had my heart trampled on a few times." "Me, too." "You aren't like some experience to me, okay?" "You're a potentially real, fulfilling, challenging relationship and that's just way too much chaos." "That's too fast..." "Just gonna... um..." "What do you say we just..." "We take it slow?" "Sure." "Okay." "Slow." "Take me to where you live." "Yes, ma'am." "Maggie?" "Wow, you're breathtaking." "Maggie, what is all this?" "It's your belated Valentine's day prom." "May I?" "I'm sorry." "So sorry." "I was too busy nursing my old wounds, and I forgot to look at the gorgeous woman in front of me, and consider her feelings." "You deserved all of this as a girl, the pomp and the fuss." "And you deserve an amazing romance with the woman who's absolutely crazy about you." "Don't you hate all this?" "Alex, you're the one woman that could make me like Valentine's day." "May I have this dance?" "Yeah... yes!" "Hi." "Hi." "Can I... thanks." "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you're awesome." "No, you are." "You out-tricked the most cunning intergalactic trickster, and you did it your way, without violence, which I never should have doubted because you're..." "You know, you're you." "Thanks." "I also wanted to say" "I'm sorry." "For acting like an ass." "I've been giving it a lot of thought and I have realized" "that you are my kryptonite." " Me?" " Oh, uh..." "No, I mean, my feelings for you." "I've never felt like this about anyone in my life..." "I didn't know that there were this many feelings to even be had." "My emotions, I guess they made me kind of crazy." "Yeah..." "I totally get it, yeah." "Anyway, I'm really glad you're okay." "And I'm really, really happy that you didn't marry that guy." "Me too." "Anyway, um..." "I'll get..." "I'll get out of your hair." "Wait." "Don't go yet." "Please." "I get that you were upset that I wasn't listening to you and I..."
