"Well, she's wearing way too much makeup and sneaking out at night, and let me tell you, covering for her is my least favorite game, but she hasn't been caught yet," Because he's good at protecting her, regardless of anything he may think of himself. "One day, she's gonna get it, and I'm gonna lose it on that old man for it, though."
Lisa as a teenager has been a trying time, because she is far too independent to live under a thumb of an asshole that made it very clear how little and to what extent he'd ever wanted either of them. She's not the tiny little girl Leonard can bribe into being good to stay out of trouble anymore, either. It worries him. A lot. Beyond Lewis, there are boys now and he's vaguely sick thinking about it.
