Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

But the other posted lines make it pretty clear, to me, that she didn't know Dawn would use it as a roadmap.

Then why hide that she pulled the book from Tara? Did she ever admit to doing this, or do we file it with Xander's lie?

As for intending solace, I think this is akin to giving a recovering alcoholic a beer making kit so he can have a hobby. "Didn't think he'd go out and get the ingredients to make the beer, I figured he'd just want to know about all teh stuff that goes into building his own brewery."

Blargh.

Willow can be an irresponsible asswipe, just like the rest of em. And it's always worse when hidden behind the doe-eyed, "but i didn't KNOW, i was just trying to HELP!"

Feh. It makes her a more interesting character, at least. Still want to shove her in a locker and give her a wedgie.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

Daniel, can I just ask where you got the shooting script thing from? Cause Psyche's site seems to be down, and I'm going into shooting script withdrawl.(Which I can't spell)

Is a package store just, like, a 7-11 selling beer?

No. No other stuff, just wine, beer and liquor (okay, and lottery, and cigarettes, maybe a keychain or lighter, but still not a convenient store, unless it's convenient and...) Well, kinda, but not really. In MA, they don't sell alcohol in stores that aren't package or liquor stores.

Sophia - yes, it is a liquor store. In Boston we call 'em liquor stores or "packies". As in: I have to make a packy run. I never realized that was regional.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In MA, they don't sell alcohol in stores that aren't package or liquor stores.

That's like Canada, then. Anything more exciting than beer (which isn't exciting, it's lifesblood) or Cold Duck (soo incredibly unexciting) is sold at a goverment store.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I didn't notice that it was weird to have a liqour store attatched to an Albertson's or what have you until I moved here.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

In Ontario, that goes for the beer too. Or at least it used to.

I learned "package store" when someone on the street in Montreal asked where to find one - only our friend visiting from Georgia knew what it meant. Though I guess it's not that hard to figure out.

It goes for both beer and wine in Mass, as well as actual liquor.

I got it from Shrift's site.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Daniel, maybe you shouldn't leave link out there in the open like that.

I think shrift prefers to handle this via email. helemtm, just email shrift and she'll set you up.
