--explanation--

Don't mention it is a polite way to respond to someone thanking you. It means that no thanks are necessary. For example:

  • Person 1: I appreciate you taking the time to explain that process to me.

  • Person 2: Don't mention it. I'm always here to help! - This person is reassuring that helping is no trouble at all.

Anna says this after David thanks her for the idea, showing that she is happy to help.
