[ There's a joke there, perhaps, once she's not feeling so miserable, once they manage to find their way back to light-hearted: something about wanting to be played by someone hotter, or at least less ancient, than Angelina Jolie. But with the vulnerability she's allowing herself, with the seriousness of the situationβ of the look on his face as he looks at his handβ the moment for jokes is gone, and she observes him in silence for a beat or two, shaking her head when he cringes. ]
No, it's okay. [ She knows he didn't mean it in the way it originally soundedβ and even if he had meant it like that, how could she blame him?

And no matter how light-hearted he is about it...

[ Ugh. Somehow that seems inappropriate. Her smile turns rueful, and she shakes her head. ] Sorry. I should leave the jokes for the experts, huh.
