liresius: (Supernatural - Standing by the Impala)
Snagged this from [livejournal.com profile] bluespirit_star and [livejournal.com profile] vagabondage When you see this on your friends list, make a post and quote Supernatural.

You need the full context of the exchange for this one ...

Dean: Don't leave the house.
Cassie: Don't go getting all authoritative on me. I hate it.
Dean: Don't leave the house ... please? from Season 1 Route 666

I love this because

1. There's something sweetly pathetic in Dean's attempts to be SNAGgish.
2. Modality (verbs like could, would, might etc) haven't yet made it into his politeness strategies.
3. He hasn't quite worked out how to use anything other than an imperative with a woman!
4. The uncertain rising intonation on please is so looking for approval.

He tries so hard, but the fact that he's really quite arrested when it comes to the "sensitive guy niceties" is very endearing.
