"If you're a good boy and back on time, I'll have a fifth of Johnnie Walker waiting."
Johnnie Walker is a brand of Scotch Whisky owned by Diageo and was created in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland in 1820 by Alexander Walker, a Kilmarnock born man.
It is the most widely distributed brand of blended Scotch whisky in the world, sold in almost every country with yearly sales of over 130 million bottles.

"To the victor go the spoils."
In the politics of the United States, a spoil system (also known as a patronage system) is a practice where a political party, after winning an election, gives government jobs to its voters as a reward for working toward victory, and as an incentive to keep working for the party—as opposed to a merit system, where offices are awarded on the basis of some measure of merit, independent of political activity.
The term was derived from the phrase "to the victor belong the spoils of the enemy" by New York Senator William L. Marcy, referring to the victory of the Jackson Democrats in the election of 1828.
Similar spoils systems are common in other nations that traditionally have been based on tribal organization or other kinship groups and localism in general.
