"She would have made Alice wear that abomination even if her head was perfectly fine and level on her shoulders," Doc bemoans. The only reason he didn't say nothing was because Alice didn't seem to mind the hat. He has never said nothing about Wynonna's penchant for waist-baring mesh and fishnets either, but Lord is it unladylike.
He should probably take a page out of Raylan's book. Say something when it needs to be said, instead of leaving bad sentiments to fester. He doesn't much like the way Winona talks to Raylan either, even if he tries not to interfere in their affairs. The ladies likely find his politeness and willingness to let them have their way easy to take advantage of. But even Doc Holliday's patience has its limits.
"I don't think Arlo is a good example of anything." While he hates to speak ill of anyone and would rather not say very much at all, he would make exception for a select group of individuals. Nevertheless, Doc is quite enjoying seeing Raylan with the girls doing very unArlo things. The Arlo way is easy, but life is hard on everybody. Nobody gets a free pass on how badly they treat others.
"This door is always gonna be open for 'em," he agrees after he finally catches up and finishes his food. The grumpy old men will definitely try to be around, even if they can't promise an eternity of this. They'll still chip in when it is needed, help each other out, be a shoulder to cry on and be that bedrock of support if any of the girls need it. Even the exes, vicious as they can be.
"Well. Almost always," Henry corrects himself with a tilt of his head and a twitch of a smile, tongue swiping over his upper lip. They probably shouldn't be all that interested in what unbiblical activities the boys are doing behind closed doors.
"Don't think we wanna be explaining this to them just yet." Not because he can't admit some truths about what they're doing together but children can be cruel to each other sometimes. There's no need to get a headstart on making things complicated for the girls. They've got enough going on as it is.
