This scene. THESE WOMEN.

Okay, here’s my thing about this scene and it hit me when I first watched it but has taken me a while (and some conversation) to put into words.

Peggy, for a moment, seems rather uncomfortable with the idea of stealing food, where the other girls encourage it, even praising each other for it.  This to me, seems to underline a real cultural difference. Peggy, having grown up in England with the rationing and the Blitz spirit, would have had a very much ‘make, do and mend’ mindset.  What you had, you shared. Stealing or fiddling rations was not only very frowned upon by others, but could be punishable. 

The American girls, on the flipside, probably grew up young in the Depression.  When there was food, you took it and you took as much as you could, because who knows when it would be there again?  They have made ingenious solutions to avoid waste, and to avoid hunger.  They eat like women who have known what it feels like to not have anything to fill a hungry belly.

That being said, I don’t think less of either set of women. I just think it’s an interesting dichotomy. 

Mostly, of course, yay lady friendships and MOAR PLEASE.

YES ALL OF THIS. It’s a total two-nations-divided thing, on one hand you’ve got the full on stiff upper lip oh no thanks awfully i’ve had quite enough versus, GIRL ARE YOU SERIOUS LEMME FILL YOUR HANDBAG WITH GRAVY.

Also, I love how surprised and impressed Peggy is by their resourcefulness. All the food-swiping would be the kind of thing you’d expect an observant spy to spot instantly, so the fact she hasn’t suggests to me that she’s either been absent from a lot of mealtimes or too wrapped up in her own concerns. And it leads me to hope this is the start of her becoming more integrated into the Griffith circle because LADY FRIENDSHIPS.

Also also I know having a moment where all the Griffith girls band together to get Peggy out of a jam like some sort of Voltron of Moxie would be as cheesy as hell but I STILL WANT IT

yes yes but most importantly CHICKEN POCKET

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SCENE
