Line 12:
* '''Parodied''': Tom insists on following Alice around on the date to make sure she doesn't do anything funny. Awkwardness ensues.
* '''Deconstructed''': Tom scares away all of Alice's potential suitors, which causes her to fear the very concept of dating. This, in turn, causes her to die bitter and alone.
** Tom's very concerned for his daughter's well-being; this just means that the [[Affably Evil]] [[Jerk Jock]] Charles is able to get into his good graces (and into Alice's pants) while the [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] Bob is left out in the cold.
** Bob is outraged at being threatened. When Alice comes back proceeds to bluntly tell her that the date is over before it's even begun because he doesn't appreciate being threatened by people like her father. He then storms out and leaves for good, leaving Tom with egg on his face as Alice proceeds to [[Calling the Old Man Out|yell at him for ruining her date.]]
* '''Reconstructed''': Tom scares away all of Alice's potential suitors...except one. Through his dogged determination, he's able to eventually win Tom over, which causes them to have a lifelong friendship.
