Gypsy has checked the car several times and says everything is fine. Richard tells her to check it again. She doesn't want to. CuteDean tells her to check it again. She doesn't want to. Richard gives a list of things to check. She's checked them all and the car is fine. She says there's nothing wrong with the car. Richard says she's paying her for a service and he wants that service completed. She says she'll look again. Richard walks over to CuteDean. CuteDean says he knows Richard thinks he's not good enough for Rory, but there's no reason to take it out on the car. Richard says that Rory is his only granddaughter and she needs to be protected. She's young and naïve. CuteDean says that Rory is also smart. Richard says that Rory is only smart about some things. CuteDean says he's not going to "do battle" with Richard over this. He says he doesn't care if Richard hates him. Richard says he doesn't hate CuteDean; he hardly knows him. CuteDean says that he's right there, so he can answer any questions Richard has. He says he still doesn't know what college he wants to go to or what he wants to do for a living. Richard says those aren't unreasonable questions. CuteDean agrees but says that Richard could have waited until dessert to ask the questions. Richard relents and asks CuteDean what his parents do. CuteDean's dad sells car stereos and has his own shop nearby. His mother works part-time transcribing medical records. Don't feel bad, Richard, we're just learning all of this, too. Richard slowly asks if CuteDean likes his granddaughter quite a bit. CuteDean corrects Richard and says that he loves Rory. This gets Richard all riled up again, but CuteDean says he was just trying to be honest. Richard quiets again and says that honesty is an admirable quality. Gypsy walks up saying she found a problem with the car. She holds up the windshield wipers and says they came off in her hands. CuteDean says she broke them off herself. She admits that she did, but she just wanted to find something wrong with the car. "I miss my home," she moans. CuteDean tells her to put the windshield wipers back on the car. Gypsy leaves to put the windshield wipers back on. Richard tells CuteDean that the car is probably safe, but he doesn't think it's an appropriate gift. "I understand that," CuteDean says. They both lean against the car for a bit. "How tall are you?" Richard asks. "Why? You wanna dance?" CuteDean asks. "No. Thank you," Richard declines. He adds after a bit, "I appreciate the offer, though." CuteDean and Richard share the "Male Bonding" smile.
