Double-entendre
When one meaning of a word
borders on impropriety and risk,
you can reject the risqué meaning
by saying, "Just vicious."
You can accept the risk of further flirtations
by saying, "Please help me!"
Do the scene poorly
Just walk through it.
You have to know why you're doing it
You have to be able to explain it to yourself.
