To his credit, Stephen doesn't miss a beat. He laughs, and it sounds natural, if a little drunk.

"Oh, no," he laughs. "No, I suppose it's just -- a sad buzz, this time. Bourbon, you know. Never fails to turn a good night into a weepy one."

Blame it on the booze. However, in all Jolie's memory, Stephen has never been a sad drunk. When Stephen cries at a party, it's because he loves everyone in the bar.
