don't say someone ghastly

[kingston_123]

Whiskey met Charlie Hesketh's ex girl friend at music festival:

Whiskey: Miss, I beg your pardon. Now, I don't wanna pester you... but I just have to know, what time are you playing?

Girl: I'm not in a band. Oh, God. Who did you think I was Please don't say someone ghastly.

Whiskey: God damn it, now I feel like a fool. I just assumed that a woman with your charisma...well, she just had to be
somebody.

Is "to" avoided after "say"?

Someone ghastly refers to what the person would say and not who he would say it to.
