That was the second opportunity missed for a perfect Cage line, should've clarified his stance on coffee as a drink

Or at least a "Sweet Christmas" under his breath as he walks out.

I'm so disappointed he never said "Sweet Christmas." Thought it was gonna be a running gag especially since even Claire says that in Iron Fist.

I spilled my coffee when misty asked if Claire was wrapping a ribbon around the log

u/DaHaLoJeDi Luke Cage Aug 20 '17

I do think that was a reference to this song, with the "return after an extended absence" thing Luke went through.

Well the thing is I don't think that euphemism was ever used in Jessica Jones, so she probably just literally meant coffee.

I didn't put that together

u/drelos Aug 22 '17

I didn't remember that so I straightforwardly thought she wanted to fuck

u/SwordMaster21 Aug 20 '17

I absolutely love that he didn't say the usual line which showed a glimpse into his feelings for Claire.

Luke: Sweet Christmas.

u/taquito-burrito Aug 22 '17

Great, or maybe we could get together and just eat a bunch of caramels.

I think about this every time there's a coffee double entendre in this series.
