Tony? Tony. Are you listening? You, I can't believe you didn't tell me any of this! Well, maybe I can, but that isn't what's important. This place is dangerous, and-and— Oh my god. I really can't handle this right now. [ She is upset with you, Mr Stark. ] Have you... People can die here, you know.
Tell me you haven't-- [ And she just ends it there because she can't even say it. ]
[ Maybe her tone is a little softer now. Concerned. ] I'm trying to understand that, but you have to give me something. You can't, I don't know how to help if you don't tell me.
