peter starts haranguing them as soon as they enter the room, and edmund cuts in with a bit of indignation occasionally, but he seems content to let peter do all the work. lucy's eyes come to rest on the bottle of cuervo that wasn't there before, sitting on the table, and remarks on it.
"i mean, what do you expect?" peter snaps. "the party started without you. it's what happens, when you show up late."
"oh, calm down," says lucy. "look, i have peace offerings."
and she rips open the top of the 30-rack box. they see within it, swimming in a shallow sea of empty budweisers, a bottle of johnny walker, a half-full bottle of canadian mist, a fifth of captain morgan, and an unopened bottle of grey goose.
she turns to susan. "i told you i needed the box."
"you know," susan muses, "most people just get it from the liquor store."
"it was sitting right there, what could i do?" lucy shrugs. "manna from heaven! happy birthday to me!"
edmund says, "i'll get the cups."
...that was totally longer than i thought it was going to be.
