Perhaps there was something in the tone of voice that Jesus used, or perhaps there was a look between them that resolved the tension, and evoked Jesus' sympathy for the situation. Whatever the case, Mary stays in the conversation with Jesus and overcomes whatever tension or resistance existed. In this we surely see her tenacity. Conversation? there is no conversation.
She tells Him there's no wine and He asks what He's going to do with her. Then she talks to the servants, simply presuming that He's going to do something.
Conversations go back and forth. It ends with Jesus chastising Mary.

It never ceases to amaze me that catholics can “see” something that’s not in the text but when the text is clear they can’t see it.

So, would I be correct in assuming you have no plans to swim the Tiber?
