Oh, Steve. Steve, Steve, Steve. You have no idea how grave a mistake youāve just made.
[ Because now it feels like a challenge, and Eddie is incapable of anything completely normally, so heās likely going to write down every band and obscure song he can recall ever hearing in his life and what Steve is going to receive to pass along to Dean is going to look more like a book than a list. ]
Man, youāre really going to honor my ridiculous request, huh?
[ Itās not exactly shocking that Steve is willing to do something Eddieās asked of himābut goddamn if something about that doesnāt just make his head spin. Maybe itās because itās something that really doesnāt matter, and yet the only question thatās been asked is āthatās your only suggestionā? Itās small and difficult to put a word to, but thereās just something about it. ]
Got it. Impalaās strictly off limits.
[ He grins like heās going to try to figure out a way around that rule, just because. It really doesnāt take genius to work out why the Impala isnāt an option here. Itās clearly the favorite out of the bunch, well cared for and parked in a prime location. He wouldnāt bat an eye to learn itās Deanās own car.
So he says nothing. Instead, feeling just a little emboldened (or just annoying), he slides his hand across Steveās shoulders as he steps around him, then proceeds to take off down the line of cars, politely tucking his hands behind his back as if nothing happened at all.
He surveys each car carefully, not really looking for anything particular. Theyāre all beautiful vehicles and as far as he can tell, all well maintained. Finally, he stops in front of what he knows is a ā77 Pontiac Trans Am, if only because heās seen Smokey and the Bandit enough times to recognize it as such. ]
Hell yeah. Right this way, Bandit. Iāve made my decision.
