Dorian: Proud? Are y'all kiddin' me? *Chuckles* I'm over the moon! She-.
Vernon: It weren't... I mean anyone coulda' put together who done it. Right? It don't mean-
Dorian: Anyone coulda'!? Oh please, she wasn't just ahead o' the rest of you boys, she was ahead o' me too! Granted, I wasn't exactly...lookin' to deeply into who ate a pie.
Vernon: Pa, please...
Dorian: And the way she explained how she figured it out, goin' over all her leads and their alibi's before tellin' revealin' it was Qali! That's classic etectives intuition! Y'all can't even teach th-
Vernon: MY Pup is NOT going to be a DETECTIVE, er a POLICE OFFICER! GOT THAT!? She's my little princess, and that's all. T-This cop stuff is just a phase is all...
Dorian: I'd say the princess stuff is a phase Vern. Y'all can't exactly grow up to be a career princess, but with a mind as sharp as that, at her age? She-.
Vernon: Then she can be a scientist! Er' a mathmatician' er' somethin'!
Dorian: Vernon...y'all don't by any chance remember what my Pa did to me, do ya?
Audrey: Or what yer Pa did to you?
Dorian: Y-yeah...
Vernon: *Whining* B-but I know she don't wanna be a cop! I know it's just a phase!
Audrey: But if she does, are y'all gonna do the right thang? Or will y'all be a stubborn as yer ol' Pa?
Dorian: HEY! I...I mean I got over it...
Audrey: Mhh-Hmm...
Dorian: Eventually!
Audrey: About twenty years too late.
Dorian: It'd be 'too late' if we hadn't mended thangs!
Audrey: Look, Puppy, I just want y'all to be careful. I don't want y'all stiflin' the pup's dreams because yer scared, or y'all had a bad experience. Y'all need to be understanding, and accept what Lily wants to do with her life when the time comes. If she wants to be a cop, tryin' to push her away from it'll only push her away from you.
Vernon: I KNOW! L-Look...If...and this is a big ol' if, she decides she...wants...to...maybe be a police officer....when she's eighteen. I'll...I...I will try to support her...As long as the rest of y'all ain't pushin' her into it!
Dorian: What're we gonna do?
Vernon: Keep brainwashin' her like y'all are already!
Dorian: Brainwashin'!? Y'all sound nuttier than yer lil' brother! I'll have y'all know...
Vernon and Dorian: *Bickering Continues*
Audrey: Y'all Hunter boys, always so damn stubborn...*Chuckles* At least I know Dawn will be around to keep y'all in check...
Awwww, even if she does become a cop, I'm sure that Lily will always be Vernon's little princess... much to her embarrassment...
