Is that comma after “Dee” in the fix? Because that’s a mistake.Son, I tell you, the years she lived with Dee, and me were the best years of my life!
Son, I tell you, the years she lived with Dee, and I were the best years of my life!
According to the rulebooks, it should be “Dee and me.” You say, “She lives with me,” not “She lives with I.” That being said, as others have pointed out, it’s perfectly valid to have characters use “incorrect” grammar. Plenty of people hypercorrect to “X and I” because they had that construction drilled into their heads in school.What's interesting about the I/me is the forum's embedded grammar check doesn't flag it either way. Neither did the grammar program I run the script though.

Take out the "Dee, and" and read the sentence. If it works, it's correct; if it doesn't, it isn't (this is how I was taught).The where/were is corrected in the Hotfix.

I choose to believe he is also some who subscribes to the idea of the Walken comma. That is to say, it's not entirely dissimilar to the Oxford comma, and is generally used to denote a pause, but not quite as strong as a semicolon or, like in your example, an ellipsis.Take out the "Dee, and" and read the sentence. If it works, it's correct; if it doesn't, it isn't (this is how I was taught).
The grammatically correct wording is "Son, I tell you, the years she lived with Dee, and me were the best years of my life!"
Now, it DOES need for the comma after "Dee" to go away, as such: Son, I tell you, the years she lived with Dee and me were the best years of my life!"
If you still want to indicate a vocal pause after "me", use an ellipsis: "Son, I tell you, the years she lived with Dee and me...were the best years of my life!" Though, I don't think this is needed.
