ray is a bit angry with amy because amy told his secret to other people. and it was a bit awkward when they meet each other after it happened.

amy: So how are you?





ray: Why?





amy:What do you mean?



ray: I mean it's just--

It's an odd question,

all out of the blue,

how are you?

It's both:

caught up in a discussion: absorbed/busy in a discussion
caught up in a fight: absorbed/busy in a fight

because the people are busy quarelling with each other.

Hi,

'To catch up' is an Americanism that means 'to spend time in a pleasant discussion about recent activities'. The idea is that each person 'catches up' with the other person's 'progress through life', finds out what the other person has been doing.

eg Let's go and have a cup of coffee so that we can catch up.

Amy and Ray in the dialogue did not do this.

OK, I think Clive has a better reading of this situation.
