Why you gotta chase after girls all the time, Gabe?

— On the Town · 1949

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker asks why Gabe continually pursues girls, making the behaviour sound habitual through 'all the time'. The question could convey teasing, irritation or curiosity. It calls attention to a repeated priority without supplying Gabe's motives or explaining the relationship between the two speakers.
