"I don't..." Johnny scrambles to come up with something not dumb to say. "I don't know if I can learn something like that, I mean, it's intrinsic. It's... it's hard to explain. But... I can try." He looks at her, feeling a strange sense of remorse. "I'm sorry I called you wrong, before," he says. "I think it's amazing. I mean. You."
