At this point Agent #4 is attempting to get the drunk men to leave him alone. He believes that if he asks for a drink, they will eventually leave him alone. He does so, and drinks a swig of plum rakija. After taking a sip, he begins to look out the window, and as the narrator explains, he begins to feel a strong tickle within his throat, hinting at a possibly dim future for said Agent.

Furthermore, when Agent #4 comments about something being a waste of time, FXC adds a footnote stating that Straka probably thought the same about distractions. As Jen comments in the margins, that is quite a passive aggressive comment, seeing as FXC is definitely making a jab at Straka’s inability to be with her. Furthermore, within the margins, Eric mentions that he has once before tried plum rakija when he was at a conference with Moody.
