13:bless your heart

002131

How long have you been seeing him?
Oh, whenever you couldn't make it, which adds up to quite a bit of time.
I don't think I like the idea of losing you.
No, I just think you don't like the idea of losing, that's all.
Would you care for cocktails?
Yes.
Two very dry vodka martinis.
If that's all, then what's been going on for the last six months?
Not very much.
Don't you remember?
No strings?
No ties?
No great need for each other?
Those were your rules.
Bless your heart, you kept every one of them.
But I broke them all.
Anyway, you might remember that for next time.
Anytime a girl agrees to an arrangement like that, she's already in love with you.
It's just a question of appetite.
Crumbs or no cake at all.
I don't know what to say.
Well, I guess that says it all.
Let's order.

With a penny you could buy quite a lot of sweets in those days.

would you care for something

Would you care for a coffee?
a coffee = a cup of coffee.  I made a coffee.
Would you care for cocktails?
A cocktail is an alcoholic drink which contains several ingredients.
On arrival, guests are offered champagne cocktails.
The bar serves delicious cocktails made from brandy and cream.
You should also have things like gin and lime juice for mixing cocktails.

Oh honey, bless your heart, but that's only 4 fingers.
I am 6 years old. (this time holds up 4 fingers of both hands)
Child... Bless you and your momma's heart.

crumbs

say it all
If you say that something says it all, you mean that it shows you very clearly the truth about a situation or someone's feelings
This is my third visit in a week, which says it all.
The look of satisfaction on his face says it all.
