I see that and I think about my good friend and I ridding around slouched down with just ours heads higher than the doors, wearing Arab head rags, playing ‘Pink Cadillac’, Loudly. With hay bales sticking out of the trunk. No comment on what would go on in the back seat.
Yeah….. “Run down” because there isn’t a platoon of “tin men” to keep the vermin away. “Diplomats” live in a world of wordplay since there are usually silent
deadly figures in the dark background.
Having Daddy Zed show up is a mark of respect for the young man and his potential. Scatter guns are symbols for dumb peasants and no-accounts. Zed is probably aware that the young man has passed the first screening with Sam and that now it is a different kind of engagement. A new recruit with a lot to learn but, perhaps, decent raw material. Daughters are different but no different.
I’m surprised how much (based on the backstory) the “run down” triggered my inner dad… Young man lost his dad before many of the lessons of manhood were taught. Maybe Zed might end up in mentor-mode?
Some dip here recently commented that Texas is not the South, it’s just Texas.
Ludicrous of course but if the scenario of the ‘toon was playing out in the hills of my home state of Tennessee Zed’s role would be to ask that boy what the hell he’s waiting for as at 18 his girl is 3 years past her prime to marry up, make start making babies and taking care of that ranch home while her new hubby builds the operation back from its ruins to make both dads proud…absolutely a merger of missions between the DD and RR!
Of course if it’s my daughter, yeah a little different conversation, no scattergun just threats of violence if he does the girl wrong, but then we been in The Flarduh for decades, losing the ways of our hillbilly heritage.
Kids would provide a lot of the grunt labor, and Sam would run an apprenticeship in most of the skilled jobs. Don’t know if she and the DD are up to rebuilding a tranny, though.

Zed will never be mistaken for a diplomat.
She can read him like a book.
I thought some white asshole had already bought the last two piece of shit sky blue Cadillacs?
Nick Nolte for the win!
If the girl’s naked he’s gonna do of breaking…. probably bones.
Or have a ball with that Caddy’s car door.
Kiko is with her mother. If some girl is there naked with Mr. Cates, them he’s going to have some ‘splaining to do!
Especially if it was the other daughter!
Don’t suppose Jack is a Jr. and Sr was in California law enforcement?
We’ll know in 48 hours.

I get the feeling that mom has already met the young man, approves, and now is practicing diplomacy to get dad on board.
I do hope for Miss Kiko’s sake that she is not in the back of the caddy with Jack swapping DNA samples.

Way off topic. Dumb Biden, Communist Harris and totally out of touch Peelosser, the three stooges. Had to do it. Sorry to interrupt.

Just sayin’.
I suppose it is encouraging to see that there are no periods after the “I” or “C”
No shotgun?!? Maybe he’s gonna go medieval.
Stay frosty …
Check the silhouette in the side window; either a pump or an auto-loader. Remington 870, maybe?
Always sage advice: “leave the gun, take the cannoli.”
Kiko could be there trying to show Jack that she can cook a turkey as well as her Mom makes.
Yeah, these days that old “piece of crap” 1962? ragtop caddy is probably worth more than the Escalade and SRX combined…

I expect it’ll be more along the lines of; “If you break my lil’ girl’s heart, that won’t be the only thing broken. Do we have an understanding?”
A gentile understanding between two Texican men.
I got that talk once, and as two men we struck an agreement – and I remained true to my word. We didn’t marry, but that was her decision.
Charlie, how the heck are they Texican?
I’m not Charlie, but I’ve been to Texas. Everybody who lives there is a Texican. Remember, Texas used to be Mexico.
I’ve heard non-Hispanic Texans described as Texicans. Not right? I did wonder about the possible linguistic association with Mexican.
Whut da heck do I know? I’m a Floriduhian, ex of Kali, ex of St Loo.
And I despise WhatsABurger.

So….does this mean Zed has figured out how to use an ice bullet without it shattering when fired?
Locally, (Walton County) has good video of some spring break vandals and is actively searching for them. One even smiled for the camera.
I’d drive that Caddy.
That Caddy restoration could give the young ones a shared project to see if they were truly compatible in working together.
Restoring the Caddy would be an excellent opportunity for the lovebirds to find out if they can work together.
Restoring the Caddy would probably run about $140,000 to do it right.
Kids would provide a lot of the grunt labor, and Sam would run an apprenticeship in most of the skilled jobs. Don’t know if she and the DD are up to rebuilding a tranny, though.
