Amaretto Sours and the Manliness Factor

(Party's bar.  Vivi is trying to get Makino's money from Shanks and Luffy in exchange for another drink.  Ben is not helping his captain.  Sanji and Nami are in the kitchen and Zoro and Usopp are still MIA.)

(Makino watches happily as Shanks and Luffy are chased by Vivi and her strings.  Ben sidles up next to her.)

Ben:  That must have been a really good drink.

Makino:  Insanely good.

Ben:  Since I gave you free shooting lessons, can I have one?

Makino:  Why not.  What's your poison?

Ben:  Amaretto Sour.

Makino (raises an eyebrow): That's seems kinda…girly… for a pirate.

(Ben shrugs and Makino begins to make his drink.)

Luffy (running): Speaking of being girly, why are we running?  It's not like Vivi's tough.

Shanks (dodges): Well, I usually have Ben or Lucky Roo fight my battles.  I 'delegate.'

Luffy (snorts contemptuously): You are so not cool anymore, Shanks.

Shanks:  Hey, I lost an arm for you, you ungrateful little brat!

(Tears well up in Luffy's eyes.  His chin trembles.)

Shanks (coldly): That worked when you were seven, but like you said, you're not a kid anymore.

(Luffy turns away and sobs silently. Shanks is struck with author induced guilt.)

Shanks:  Hey, I'm sorry, I -

(Before he can apologize, Luffy is caught in Vivi's little strings.  Shanks tries to untie Luffy and finds it really difficult with only one arm):

Luffy (sniffling): Go away.  You don't have to save me.

Shanks:  Of course I have to save you.  (under his breath) Stupid author.

(A shadow looms over the two.  Vivi, dramatically back lit, snaps one of her strings tightly between her hands.)

Vivi:  I think a thousand berii and a House Special works out to about two knees and a hand…

(Suddenly, Vivi falls flat on her face, unconscious.  A mysterious figure, also dramatically back lit, is their apparent savior.)

Trailer:  Who is the mysterious savior?  Are Amaretto Sours wussy girl drinks?  Are they as wussy as, say, Mike's Hard Lemonade and Zima?  Can you think of any good trailer lines?

Terms Explained:
Amaretto Sours are wussy girl drinks.  But so what?  They are yummy goodness and not as wussy as Mike's Hard Lemonade or Zima.
