Peter's frown at the candy machine deepens. But he's no longer angry at the machine for not functioning -- he's frowning because it's a puzzle he's determined to figure out.
His eyes scan the machine to determine the facts:
∙ The light's still on in the machine, so it's probably not a power issue. ∙ At the time he hit the button, the little screen that showed the amount panel flashed from $0.75 to $0.00.
Peter turns to Alec.
"Just give me a few minutes to see if I can fix this through non-violent methods," Peter says. "If either one of us can't figure it out, I'll -- I'll let you use whatever methods you want to get your candy."
Even Peter's not entirely sure he can figure this out. Not without hte internet, and since the place didn't exactly have high-speed he'd just have to try and use his brain. And maybe hope Alec would lend a hand.
