When Daneel expresses his confusion over knowing what to do, it gives Ned a better understanding of how circumscribed and constrained his normal state must be. It's not too much of a leap to guess that his laws are some kind of...morality programming, telling him how to act in various situations. And with that, Ned recognizes why it all sounds so familiar.
He turns around, walking backward, hands clasped behind his back, so he can look at Daneel as he says, "You know, I think I kinda get what you're going through. Not entirely, obviously, since I was never been a robot. But the whole... suddenly going from having rules about how to behave and then not knowing what to do without them, I get that. The way it's kind of terrifying and also exciting, because you're the one in charge, now, and you get to make the decisions, but that also means you have to make the decisions." Ned shrugs, ends with a simple, "I grew up Catholic."
They've made it to House 20, and Ned says, "Wait here a second, will you?" before ducking inside. He is in and out quickly, before any of his housemates has a chance to notice, emerging a few seconds later with half a pie (still in the tin), two forks, and two cloth napkins. "Where do you want to go to eat it?"
