[ Yes, of course boards get scratched up when you use them like that.
It's something Daniel is definitely realising in this moment - and, thinking back on it, the boards Robby let him use for their little 'lesson' sure looked like that too.. But it's something he didn't think of in the moment while getting this skateboard made.
The result? One (1) old man feeling like the dumbest guy in the world right about now, especially in the face of Robby's answer. ]
Yeah, I just..
[ .. the guy's voice trails off.
It's kind of lame to admit to a teen you see like a son that you wanted this gift to feel perfect, and now you instead just feel like you screwed up, huh. He can't just say that, even though the way Daniel looks vaguely flustered in this moment is kind of doing that job for him, though perhaps not with quite as much detail or nuance.
On the other hand, Daniel is a man of accountability, and it'd feel crappy to not say something here. Even though 90% of this is the man making a way bigger deal out of this in his head than it actually is in reality.
But what else is new with Daniel LaRusso? ]
Sorry. I guess it kind of slipped my mind that decorating the board kind of defeats the purpose. I can get you something else?
[ Robby, please realise this is just a man who desperately wants to please you.
Even if you may have very little experience with this exact thing. ]
