What are the two ways Dexter reacts when he first meets Judy Jones?

When Dexter meets Judy Jones on the golf course for the first time, he's instantly smitten. There's just so much spirit about this young lady, a vitality and a passion that positively shines through her eyes. Dexter's never seen anyone quite like her before.
Indeed, so taken is Dexter with this spoiled, over-privileged brat that he instantly roots for her when she throws a hissy fit and almost physically assaults her nurse with a golf club. Most people wouldn't be too impressed by such a display of impudence, but Dexter is drawn to Judy's outsized personality and so finds it utterly hilarious.
After watching Judy's antics, Dexter suddenly feels way too old to be a caddy, too old to be called "Boy" by the well-heeled patrons of this upmarket country club. If someone much younger than him can show such independent-mindedness, then why can't he? So, suitably inspired by Judy's little tantrum, he promptly quits his job there and then.
