Dr. Strange: The conversation goes like this:
Christine Palmer: I guess I'll just have to stick with Nick.
Dr. Strange: Oh, wait a minute. You're not... you guys aren't...
Christine Palmer: What?
Dr. Strange: Sleeping together. Sorry, I thought that was implicit in my disgust.
Christine Palmer: Explicit, actually.
Here, what does he mean I thought that was implicit in my disgust?
And what does that refer to?

listeneverThanks. So, could he have said, "Sorry, I thought that was implicit in my disgusted tone"?Yes, I believe so. By itself, it could refer to disgust expressed earlier in some other way, but that seems to be ruled out because this is apparently the first time this has been mentioned between them.
