The Cutting Gazette

A little sound makes the scandal better. Try the music box or the bell.

“So, you do have honor, then. At least as far as sport is concerned.”

What it sounds like

You do have honor when it comes to playing the game.

What it really means

“You may be honest about sport, but I’m not convinced you’re honorable in the rest of your life.”

Said today

“So you can play fair—at least on the field.”

What was happening

Anthony admits he would not cheat because Kate would expose him, and she dryly credits him with honor. Her qualifier, “at least as far as sport is concerned,” makes the praise pointedly limited. They are still trading barbs, though their growing respect shows through.
