Hi all - I decided that I've been lurking here long enough and it was time to join in the fun, especially all the discussion about who Dupree should get together with.
Here's my suggestion, which you can throw around as much as you like - Louise, have you considered the story-line possibility that Dupree's car gets engine problems, and Ennis advises Dupree to takes it to his trusty radiator repairman, Nate? Dupree and Nate together could almost be a mirroring of Ellery and Ennis, perhaps?
Comments, anyone?
