The Anti-Cupid encourages Jeremy.

ANTI-CUPID: "Even if she hates men, she's not going to yell at you if you ask politely."

ANTI-CUPID: "She'll respect you for it."

ANTI-CUPID: "If she does say something that hurts you, they are only words."

ANTI-CUPID: "They can't hurt you. Pride heals."

ANTI-CUPID: "Don't make assumptions."

ANTI-CUPID: "Offers from whom? Egotists? They may have shiny cars, but you have a heart."

ANTI-CUPID: "And stop belittling yourself! It's unhealthy."

WOMAN: "I'm sorry. I'm not interested."

We’re going to step through each shy guy’s arguments aren’t we.

The third panel has Jeremy making a silent “eep!” while the Anti-Cupid pushes him forward.
