Is "to live in the dark" an American Idiom? I couldn't find any reference of it.
Here is an exceprt of a TV transcript:

SAM                        How ya doing, Bernie?
BERNICE                Not wild about people calling me Bernie.
SAM                        Sure. What should I call you?
BERNICE                Bernice is fine.
SAM                        But how will you know I'm your buddy?
BERNICE                I'm okay living in the dark on that.

Could anybody help me with this? what does this mean? I know it's a sort of joke, but could someone make this joker clear for me please? thanks.
