Crowley, having had this brilliant inspiration, is now being carried away by it, as so often happens. The irony of it, the wonderful inside joke shared bragging, and all the marvellous overtones and undertones of meaning...that's far too good to resist.
That or maybe the alcohol is starting to kick in. Either way, he'll take it. Aziraphale's rather sweet, hopeful smile is met by a one of Crowley's biggest grins. "'Course we'd do it together. 'S whole point of a duet, right? Here, I'll go book it--"
He does book it, half running over to sign them up, almost ripping pages in his enthusiasm to find the write number in the programme book. Fortunately the piece is one of the duet options. If it weren't, he'd have had to cheat to get it in there, he's not letting go of this idea now he's had it.
He saunters back more slowly, still grinning. "Got a while before we'll be up, though. Meantime let's get that waiter back, I have a sudden craving for popcorn shrimp. And another bottle."
Exhilaration is better than bottle courage, but having bottle courage as well is probably not a bad idea. Especially when it's also delicious.
I laughed SO MUCH when I thought of it! BTW how many songs do we want them to do? I have A Plan.
