"Look, Sam. I appreciate the offer. And if there was anything to say I'd say it. But I don't even know what I would say. I'm not sitting around thinking about jumping Hardison when no one else is around. Half the time, I don't even know if he likes me at all. I made a comment, and yeah, if he came to me, and said he was interested I wouldn't push him away. Doesn't mean I'm hot for him." Eliot didn't like the impression that he'd upset Sam somehow. That was never his intent, and he may have been trying to over compensate to try and make things right.
