Yeah, but, I mean...

Listen.

I only bring it up to reassure you

that your secret's safe.

All right?

deserves a second chance.

I also believe in his right to privacy.

He's really nice.

I feel like I'm getting

the hang of things.

Um, we do a lot of loading,

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

By the way, um, I want to pay for this.

- No. No way.

- Come on.

I don't know what

Trust me, that'll change.

- Terry.

- Believe me.
