The sweeping innuendo is entirely lost on Victor who has neither the appreciation nor the inclination toward flirting humour to play this game at all, so instead he just gives Rupert an intensely flat and unimpressed stare.

"Maybe so. The ones who were stupid enough to do it."

That's also not an invitation to get to know him better to remove the stranger title.

"And if that's what you mean then no, this is my celebration mood."

Thick, scathing sarcasm: far more Victor's speed for humour.
