32	* LackOfEmpathy: In the [=DiC=] dub, Alan explains that he doesn't understand why Lita is so willing to share something like love through cooking as he believes love is supposed to be "special." Disappointed that he believes she's trivializing the way she expresses her emotions, Lita responds that there are different kinds of love and different ways to express that love to those you care about.
