But say there's a girl you want to look cool in front of. You won't want to look uncool in front of her, right? That's how a boy thinks--that being embarrassed isn't cool.
I... think so. Nesso has a lot of manly pride and that's why he doesn't want to talk about why he's not a knight here because he thinks we'll find him silly?

Then you're second patient. That's still a lot!

[ if she's the only one who didn't-- ]

[DON'T WORRY MARY...]

[ She's just kind of baffled that Nesso is apparently so ashamed of this perfectly nice job that even his partner and his bunny buddy didn't know. ]

[Strokes her head again...]

[ Help her to understand, Elza!! ]

Men like to believe sometimes that they don't get embarrassed.

I guess I can understand that...
action;
[He grins.] A man's pride is just an extension of that; wanting to look good in front of people, like you've got everything together.

action;
[ MOST SERIOUS NOD. ]
action;
And then, a snort.] Yes, well, that's more or less it.
action;
[ But at least it got her to giggle. ]
action;
[MEN ARE GENERALLY SILLY this is a life lesson you must learn, Mary.]
action;
Mm, you didn't. I just hadn't thought about it like that before.
action;
[About the complex silly creatures that are MEN.]

action;
That's just it, Mary.

[ THEY'RE WEIRD. ]
