Guy, that's not why I came at all. I was there because... because Luke was worried about you, and I knew it.
... all I wanted to be able to tell him was that you were okay. That's why I asked you that. I guess I just wanted to tell him you'd said hi or something.
[ A pause, as she considers. ]
I mean, I wanted to know what happened, but ... that wasn't the reason I wanted to talk to you in the first place. What I told Luke ... didn't have anything to do with any of that.

All I told him was that you were okay. And if he wanted to know anything else... [ Now, finally, she looks at him, her gaze searching. ] He'd have to talk to you.
RUDE SO RUDE
