Arlo: Why didn't you just lay out the whole thing for us?
Arlo: I can accept that, but you'll have to think of something better for your mother!
Arlo: Now come on in - I have some questions to ask you about the schooner!
I agree with StoicLion…and I’m glad this is what it turned out to be.
To those who said MaryLou was henpecking him…. no, that’s backwards!Kathymcel said some of it yesterday…but the story goes back to when they got together.MaryLou said she never wanted to be seen as the girl who saddled him with someone else’s kid and took him away from college.It was GENE who told her not to worry, that he had no intention of dropping out.But they care about each other so much he DID drop out, wanting more to build a life together…first helping in the restaurant,now starting the farm.MaryLou doesn’t want him to go to school for HER benefit…she wants him to follow HIS dream, and not just hers.And he doesn’t want to go because he thinks she needs him more at the farm, especially so when he sees that she works all the time and won’t take time for fun.It’s an “argument” familiar only to those who understand having to MAKE your significant other do something "selfish.
