[The whiskey amuses him, even though he doesn't show it on his face or elsewhere. Leaning over he takes the bottle and opens it, sniffing it carefully. Whiskey is something he knows a lot about, after all.]

We achieved our objective.
Does that count as losing?

[Rory just holds his glass and looks into it at his reflection.]
Yeah.
