Johnny to Tommy about Ali: "I don't think I ever got over her. I mean I dated plenty of babes after, but I never really let my guard down with any of them, you know."

Vanessa LaRusso in season 5: Johnny. *whispers* Hey, Johnny... c'mere... Johnny the idealized image of Ali is a falsehood you created, because you preserved a moment of the past in amber, so that you could avoid any and all introspection about your sense of self, particularly in relation to masculinity and PTSD - the Ali in your head is not a real person, the reason you couldn't date women as an adult is because you don't relate to women beyond a vague concept and aren't attracted to women beyond the ideal of what you ought to be attracted to and then you took a dying friend's words to heart about meeting someone new and decided that the next door neighbor had heard enough of your bullshit POV about your past, knew you were an alcoholic, and hadn't run for the hills, plus she's the mother of the kid you've adopted, so once more you can decide not to self-analyze in any way, but name me three of her interests and activities you like to do together and once you've gotten over the crushing crisis that's gonna instigate, call me, I know a lot of cute guys you can hang out with, no pressure, but you need more queer peers than just Daniel, I love the guy, but he's messy AF, and I'm gonna send you some recommendations on intersectional feminist literature tomorrow - alright honey, you owe me a dinner and a recommendation on YELP *pats him on the back and goes back to doing her eyeliner*

I always looked out for you, Terry. And I always will. But you need to fall back in line and follow my lead. Because there's a lot of land mines out there, and if you don't watch where you step... it's all gonna blow up.

It’s the specificity of it! Literally catching your lifelong rival’s Coor’s bottle top when he flicks it at your head is something that can be so personal, because who else is giving him this kind of extremely personal attention, responding to his best (only?) party trick in a Johnny-relevant karate-adjacent way, and then looking quietly pleased like he knows you know how hot that was, and that was why he did it? Like he’d been thinking about it for years and now he’s shown you he can do it, how can you really think you’re ever cutting THAT guy out of your life?
