"How would you propose to do that?"

Look up what "a whiff of the grape" means.

I think Laverne asks a fair question. No need to be coy.

The origin of the name "Whiff of Grape" goes back to the French Revolution when Napoléon ordered his troops to fire over the heads of peasants storming the gates of Paris, yelling "give them a whiff of grape"!
