zanooda:

I don't intend to analyze it, I just need to translate it, LOL! Or rather, to help someone else to translate it :-). I can't think of the exact same idiom in my language, plus the "I was looking for" part is rather confusing, so I need to find a way to say it differently. What would it be: 1. "This is my only consolation". 2. "This is what I wanted to hear". 3. "I knew there must be something good in all this" or something else :-)? One more thing: do you guys also think she says it a little ironically, or is she dead serious :-)?
