Sal is obviously in love
with what Dean represents. The freedom, the carelessness, the girl-to-girl
bouncing, the happiness and simplicity of lifestyle. The problem with Sal is
that he is unable to look past Dean’s outer shell and see him for what he truly
is. Dean is a hippie with nothing going for him because whenever a good
situation presents itself for Dean, he throws it away to chase a life on the
road. Ever since Dean came back into Sal’s life, it seemed evident that Sal’s
seemingly improving life was coming to yet another halt at Dean’s expenses.
Lucille told Sal that she didn’t like him when he was around Dean and his other
friends, and Old Bull told Sal that if he followed Dean to Frisco it would be
the end of him, so obviously other people aren’t blind to Dean’s flaws like Sal
is and they know that spending time around him only damages Sal. I see these
remarks and comments as foreshadowing for something Dean will do that will
really hurt Sal and make him completely rethink if Dean is the person he wants
to follow.
