[Well, she never really talked about her childhood, so for all he knows she was raised Catholic. You know what they say about assuming.
But he looks legitimately confused when she equates a Dutch accent with culture, and what she really means flies way over his head. Dutch accent. Culture. What? It's like he's pretty sure she's serious and isn't quite sure what to think about that.]
Uh... [And he still sounds sort of lost.] It'd be better if y'spoke it like Rome did.
[It's the first time she's seen him looking confused without a healthy side of anger over the fact, but that doesn't stop her from huffing a little laugh and shaking her head. Not if she could speak it properly, not if she could speak it like a scholar - no, it'd be better if she spoke Latin like Rome. The man does nothing by halves, and that really shouldn't surprise her at all anymore.]
Well, Rome shows up, you let me know. In the meantime I guess I'll make do.
[Surprise, surprise, he doesn't see the humor at all, and finally a little irritation creeps into the confusion. What does she think is so damn funny? It's true, and for a moment he wonders if she's taking it as seriously as she should be - but. She probably is. Slowly, he's figuring out that she's just flippant like that, sometimes.
Still makes him want to chain-smoke, but he can do that.]
You'd know, if he showed up. [Everyone would know. But anyway.] I ain't doing it in the morning.
