Transcript:
Irving: Will you get Vivian's squeaky toy while you're in the kitchen, Cathy? Cathy: Sure, Irving. Irving: Thanks!...I love you! Cathy: He loves me?? Did he just say he loves me, or was he talking to Vivian? If I respond and he didn't mean me, it will be humiliating......If I don't and he did, it will be devastating... Irving: Did you hear me?...Yes! I love you! Cathy: Never turn your back on a man with a dog.
Last panel doesn’t sound like something you would say to the dog. And it would be very like Irving to say it this way – not directly, sort of off-handedly.
