Try refreshing, it looks like you have a cached version?
In any case, I actually think the original dialogue could've been worked with - there was a time in my life that I was that obsessive about someone, and I would end up telling the same person about it multiple times.
And, we're talking about Marten here... he probably wouldn't have called him out on it - instead, letting him go on, while trying to get out of the situation entirely before the awkward exploded.
Dr. ROFLPWN:
The new dialogue makes me feel about 25% more that the entire conversation, Marten is consciously telling himself "don't tell him you fucked Padma, don't tell him you fucked Padma, don't tell him you fucked Padma..."
Soulsynger:
Wait wait... how did Elliot know Marten was also pining for Padma? Or at least, how can he be so sure about it, saying "We're in the same boat now, huh?" ... My brain! Ze goggles! Zey do nossing!
stoutfiles:
By telling Padma she should hook up with Marten, Elliot may be indirectly responsible for their hookup happening as Padma was able to initiate the romance without any worry. It also lets Marten off the hook, as Elliot said it was ok (even though we all know the awkward "you should date so and so now" is not true and the exact opposite should be followed if you care about that person's feelings).
I also find it telling that Elliot says she should hookup with Marten, not date him. Who says that? You should go have sex with that guy before you leave? It's like Elliot already knew Padma was pretty slutty. Maybe that's why Marten is so sad in the last panel, he now realizes it was a one-nighter and Padma is some sort of town bicycle.
