[Norma grits her teeth, and gives Jay a dirty look. Mostly because he's right, and she doesn't like it. This is not how she usually behaves, yes, and Norma's sick and tired of it all. She also does not need it pointed out to her, either - it's like a very hard slap in the face.

Though, really, she did need the rude wake up call like that. Thank goodness it was Jay to tell her that, or else she may have exploded at anyone else.]

I'm not breaking! I'm stressed! I have a lot to worry about, okay?! It's a whole lot harder to live here than it is back on the Legacy, you know. We can't resolve a lotta the issues here, and we sure as heck can't knock out the Malno-nos, even if we really want to. I just--...I just let things build up. Things I'm not prepared to handle right now. I'm not made out of rock! [Norma pauses, and blinks, then raises her head. Aha, that was it. That was it. She's just not mentally and emotionally mature enough to handle it. And, really, admitting it feels kinda good. Embarrassing, oh definitely, but it does make her feel a less worked up.]

...But you're right. Much as I hate to say, JJ, you are the egghead, and you're right. I needa grow up a bit more.
