English term or phrase: a sterile manner of speech
Testo teatrale israeliano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Monologo di una donna che si rivolge al marito defunto.

A: You said "I have no more interest in that kind of intimacy". How could I have forgotten that!? That's what you said, word for word! "that kind of intimacy!", a sterile manner of speech – just like you.

La mia proposta:

A: [...] un modo di parlare freddo – proprio come te.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
