Original artwork, not a still
Helen, sometimes God puts us with people just to cheer them up. I mean, I'm having a good time out with a moderatly attractive woman, but that's it. I'm not looking to overstep my bounds.... by the way, do you prefer diamonds or saphires? Oop. Sorry.

What it means
Our interpretation.
James claims modest intentions, then immediately asks about precious stones. The reversal undercuts his promise not to overstep. His religious explanation and judgments of attractiveness are his own, not established motives or facts. Readable spellings remain.
