Summary:
“I want to, uh, cover all the bases, which I know is a silly metaphor, but I think I’m beginning to understand it now, and I don’t want to skip any of them, I know theoretically how they all work, but it might take me a while to master them, and I want to make sure that I’m competent at each thing before we do the next thing, but I already know I want to do the next thing and the next thing because, Frank, I want you so badly that sometimes I think I’m going into cardiac arrest.” She stops abruptly, a little breathless from the string of words and from realizing what she just said and how wide Frank’s eyes have gone.
Mel really did think she wanted to take it slow. Turns out she didn't know herself at all.
