To all CP fans - I need help
As I posted lately I found the "real end" for ep. "Uskerty" on John Finnemore's blog.
My problem: I don't understand what is meant / what's so funny about Douglas' last sentence:
DOUGLAS Thank you, Gerry. Oh, and Gerry?
GERRY Yes?
DOUGLAS Leave the carton.
Help my funny little brain and explain it to me.
Find the whole piece here (scroll down):

Re: To all CP fans - I need help
In many bar scenes, when the customer/drinker asks for a drink (eg shot of whiskey etc) once it is poured, they ask the barman to 'Leave the bottle' .. meaning they plan on drinking it all/getting rolling drunk etc due to their desperate circumstances.
The pineapple juice is in a carton; so Douglas plans on 'drinking the lot'. I guess that explains it enough?

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Ah, yes!! Thank you!
I was thinking of the geese all the time. The juice, of course! Stupid! ;-D
