[That's an understatement; the sherry is straight-up vile. Dee's only drinking it because her other option is sobriety and because she's far enough into it that the taste of salty fermented dishwater is starting to get diluted by stomach acid. By contrast to Breq's composure, Dee's already visibly intoxicated, though not wasted.
She screws the cap on the sherry.]
But if you haven't noticed, this place is a dump. This diner's a dump diner in a dump town. I'm thinking the next time there's something good to drink is way off. [Although trust and believe, the next time there's something good to drink Dee will be at the front of the line if she has to rip people's throats out to do so.
But if she can't offer alcohol, and she won't offer her stockpile of the pie filling and mandarin oranges she looted from the kitchen, so she goes with the option she loves to go with: the first thing that comes to mind that doesn't cost her anything. Free magnanimity.]
Do you want me to see if the jukebox can play some rap music? You like that stuff, right?
