Jn 21:16b ... (Simon) He-says to-him, ... "Yes Lord, you know that I-am-fond of-you."

The 4th through 6th phrases contain these 2 narrator and 7 dialog words, ... legei autō, ... Nai kurie, su oidas hoti filō se (He-says to-him, ... "Yes Lord, you know that I-am-fond of-you").

The 9 words are bottom up. This is the 2nd time that Simon, speaking through the Spirit of-John, could not answer Jesus using the word agapa (love). The words legei autō (He-says to-him) are tangent to the face of the Spirit of John the Baptist.
