Given all the rah rah rah for morality that I've seen lately, I figure the topic should be broached.

To me, it doesn't makes a difference and that's what's taken me so long to get to it. If kids want to drink, they're going to find a way to get to what they want. Not to mention, I hardly hold the monopoly on alcohol. [ he's getting to his point in a very roundabout way, yes. ] I'd also like to say that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't see at least one person drinking on camera, drunk texting or boasting about their inebriated state in some manner or another. More often than not, they're what I'd consider underage. And I'm not inclined to give much of a shit about where the product is going because I'm not profiting from it specifically in monetary value.

We don't have a set legal system. Each of us are from countries or worlds where the age cap varies or is completely irrelevant.

That being said, my point is: should there be an age restriction on those I knowingly permit into [ hm, no he's not going to say my ] an establishment where drinking and partying could lead to one thing and then another? I've seen an awful lot of preaching about save the children. God forbid we overlook their sweet, virgin eyes. If we're going to be stuck together for an indefinite amount of time, this might as well be addressed to [ huh, okay, what word does he want to use with you assholes? ] keep the peace. Or something like it. So, let's have it.

Don't care, couldn't be made to care or alternatively, open it to discussion. [ he's bored enough to let strangers and friends bicker at him and among each other. ] And if you were hired by myself or my [ other half ] business partner, report.

[ the camera angle lowers like he's done or ready to shut it off, instead he's scratching behind his ear and shifting his jaw to begrudgingly announce: ] Oh, and by the way, for those of you that knew him.. I think it's safe to finally assume that Justin Taylor has gone home. [ or wherever the fuck people who aren't dead but simply gone go, he doesn't say but his condescending and bitter fucking uncomfortable smirk implies. ]

[Relief is plain in Anders' voice.] Thank the Maker for that. And thank you, for pointing it out.

Oh. Uh. Anytime. It's... pretty much my job to know these things.

Glad I could help...uh...

[He awkwardly fumbles the delivery by not knowing the name of the guy he just helped. GOOD JOB PHOENIX.]

Anders. [He's been going by this name for so many years, it really is his name by now.] What job requires you to know where people can and can't get married? Not that I'm objecting at all, mind. I'm simply curious.

I'm a lawyer. A defense attorney, to be exact.

[The video feed clicks on to zoom in on Phoenix's lapel, flashing his badge.

[Given that Phoenix has just done him a colossal favor, Anders feels he ought to be very polite.]

Impressive. Very stylish.

[He has no idea that's supposed to be a badge.]
