I'm wonderful, Meryl, just wonderful! Oh goodness I'm so happy to hear your voice, I've missed you such an awful lot and I was just so afraid that maybe you'd gone away-
Oh that doesn't matter now, you're back and you're safe and soon you'll be home with us and everything will be just like it's supposed to be.
[A little thoughtful pause.]
It was a few weeks ago. Mr. Vash... well, you know how he can be. I tried my best to look after him, I don't know how much I was able to help. Oh Meryl I'm so glad you're back.
Don't be silly Meryl, you must be exhausted! We'll get something in that we can just heat up in the oven nice and easy so no one has to worry about cooking at all, and you can enjoy your first night home. Ooh, and we can get some real champagne too!
Now it can be a double celebration, I didn't want to really celebrate until you were back home. I have some news for you, you'll never guess!
Milly, that's wonderful! Of all the things for me to-- Milly, that's just... wow, I can't believe it! Congratulations! I'm... I'm so sorry I wasn't here, Milly. That's something I should have been here for.

I'm sure you did fine, Milly. He does better when there's someone around to listen to him. As long as you were persistent... he can be so stubborn.
I'm glad to be back with you all, Milly.
