And then--because she feels stupid and needy, and that's why Elliot's tone is the way it is, and Darlene thinks, shit, last ditch and angry at herself--she says, "Okay." A little defensive too. Overcorrecting her way out of insecurity.
There's still more shit to talk about, but she has got to cool off. Too desperate and she'll give herself away, even if all she wants to do right now is hug Elliot, or have him hug her, or be back in New York without all this fate-of-the-world sci-fi bullshit hanging over them. Regular fate of the regular world only. Freedom from capitalism, the easy enemy.
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna make you pinky swear or anything lame."
