Is a package store just, like, a 7-11 selling beer?
No. They sell packages. They're all in identical boxes, wrapped in plain brown paper. If you're lucky the package you bought has beer. If you're unlucky you just bought a package of used diapers. It's kind of like the lottery.
Maybe it was only regional. La changed theirs, uhm, maybe 9 years ago.
Okay, but really, what the hell is a package store?
Where you go and buy packaged liquor as opposed to a wholesaler or buying it in a resturaunt or bar, or getting a daquiri from a daquiri place.
So-- it is a liquor store in Northern parlance? And there are daiquari places!?!
And there are daiquari places!?!
They look like slurpee machines, just sitting there.
I thought I was buying a slurpee, but I didn't give it back when I realised my mistake.
Hell, there are daquiri places in the movie theatres.
Wow! I feel like a wide-eyed innocent.... but I don't think they have them here. We have a Martini Bar.
They have them in the malls, even. Louisiana's different about alcohol. I don't think they have a law against open containers of alcohol in the car, either.
We had to have a piece of scotch tape over the straw opening in the daquiri lid to comply with the open container law. We've got drive through liqour and daquiri stores. I really miss those.
Not to change the subject, but quick question -- someone's tagline made me wonder: was Anya's last word (at least onscreen, which is all we have to go by) "bunnies"?
Yup. Even in the script:
INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL - NORTH HALL - DAY
Andrew and Anya, also in wait mode.
ANDREW
I think they're coming...
ANYA
Oh God. I'm terrified. I didn't
think... I just figured you would be
terrified and I would be sarcastic
about it.
ANDREW (also shit-scared)
Picture happy things. A lake. Candy
canes. Bunnies.
Anya's eyes narrow.
ANYA
Bunnies. Floppy, hoppy, bunnies.
Her sword comes up, all of her fear gone.
