Wasn't that the truth. At least now with Ariel and having the rest of them Hook was trying to make a change into the realm of not drinking oneself to death or engaging in otherwise reckless behaviors. "Suppose I could." Jefferson just didn't want to do this with any hand holding. Though there were some things he obviously wasn't going to no, nor was capable of handling on his own. "I just assumed that when you had someone throw you a party you didn't actually do any of the work yourself."
In fact if Hook really wanted a proper party of this level thrown he should have hired Ruby. She was clearly on the debauchery train.
On the one hand he wanted to ask how Ruby knew all of this information to begin with--then realized being a sheltered, pretty young woman, well, one was bound to go looking for answers somehow. "Thank you for sharing your late night channel flipping adventures." Yeah, he could see Ruby double checking and making sure Ole Granny wasn't peaking around the corner and checking out the five minute previews because Granny would see the bill if she actually bought something. "I know there's no one more inappropriate. That's what frightens me. I haven't even asked Ariel what she's comfortable with...I should definitely do that. Yes?"
