[ It's the kind of response that has Robby both looking at Mister LaRusso like he might have a second head growing out the side of his neck, but also--maybe Robby's imagining it. He's pretty sure the guy is wrong, since while he knows that, yeah, okay, his mom liked to dance with good-looking guys and get more (ugh), it's not like that's all that's involved.
But none of this is about other people, is it? It's about Mister LaRusso, which is what Robby starts to lean towards with that 'possible second head', nibbling on his lower lip some as he comes to that. ]
She was interested. [ So, you know, Mister LaRusso really can't hide behind the 'she's too proper' excuse!! Regardless: ] But if it's some big deal to you, then you don't have to do it. I didn't know you were...like that about it.
[ And that 'like that' is said very carefully, even considerately!, not meaning to offend....the man who clearly has some curious Pure 'don't dance if you're unmarried or it's scandalous' vibes right now.
don't show an ankle around women, mister larusso. ]
Not the like that. Teenagers aren't allowed to tell him he's being like that about something. Nothing crumbles a grown man's resolve more instantly than that, even more so when it's a teenager Daniel is so fond of. Even though Robby is being so gentle about it, for a moment Daniel looks like Robby just told him he threw Daniel's phone into the laundry by accident. (Heartbroken, that is.)
Then he withers a little bit, before giving in enough to say: ]
.. no, if she-- If she really wants to, I can do it.
[ :(
So weak for one boy. Don't abuse this power. ]
She's been so kind to us, and she's always been good at supporting the diner too, so I suppose it's the least I can do.
