It's fine. Y'said it y'self, y'can't tell anybody else, right? Y'might as well celebrate with somebody, even if it's jus' talkin' on the phone a little.
Who the hell am I gonna tell? [ she doesn't mean to sound offended at the implication, but she does. ] This is the gal that faked bein' your girlfriend for weeks, remember? Maybe HJ ain't my favorite person, but I like you a lot more than I hate him.
I don't know -- him, maybe. That would be the worst case scenario, if he found out because he heard us talking. Something along those lines. I just had to mention it, that's all, I'm sure it won't be an issue.
Like hell I'm gonna tell him. Y'gotta trust me here, hon. Or at least trust the fact that I ain't got a nice word t'say that man, even if I am happy for you.

[ He sounds a little nervous, and pauses. ]

Y'do what y'gotta do, I guess. But I ain't sayin' anythin' t'him.

[ He pauses as well, a little sheepishly. ]
Um, I'll see you at work, all right?
