I meant getting falling for you if it's not going to go anywhere, and I'm going to get hurt. Most people have natural preservation instincts. I'm being honest about mine.
I would too. I don't know why you think I wouldn't have?
It was until they were murdered. [He moves back a little. He's had therapy when he was a kid. It didn't work well, and the only thing that did was becoming Robin. Maybe he's got some emotional issues, but he's working on those too. Today talking to Iggy has been a disaster. Not telling the whole story has made it harder. He doesn't even know why he tried any of this. ]
I hear you. Okay, and there are times when I can be indulgent and other times when I don't care about the money Bruce has given me. It's not a thing. I use it when I want, or need. I don't think about it most of the time.
[a pause]
Maybe you should rest for tonight and I'll come check in on you tomorrow. Maybe you'll be feeling a little better?

And I'm saying: go to therapy, Dick.
Because you don't seem that indulgent! You're gonna let me try on five hundred things and then just hand over your credit card?

Spoken like a true rich guy.
[He sighs and nods.] Yeah. And like... thanks. Even if you're kinda off, you're a good guy underneath it all. I do appreciate what you've done.

[Getting up, Dick leans over and kisses Iggy on the forehead. It was a weird night and Dick is ready for a nightcap and to sleep it off. ]
I'll see you tomorrow, I'm sure and I'll bring you something nice. Okay? Stay gorgeous.
[Dick runs his hand down Iggy's body affectionately, and then wanders out.]
