that Quaid was reporting to his daughter's boyfriend, to a guy half his age with no experience?

So that causes him to punch the guy out?I don't know.... a lot of guys would be happy their daughter was dating their boss - don't you think?

Well, without being demeaning, here is my theory: Quaid looks at this young whippersnapper as taking his job. Many movers and shakers view their job as their property, particularly when they have been with the company for many years, invested their professional careers there, moved up the ranks, and have eventually accumulated a client base. Then, as if this young whippersnapper taking his job were not enough, he must now see this guy in his social life, apparently, because the job was not enough, the young whippersnapper must now obtain his daughter, which, I would imagine, he feels a certain property right to, as fathers sometimes do with their daughters. In polite society, I believe it is referred to as "being protective."
