At the conclusion of the awards ceremony, the photographers in attendance asked the delegates to assemble on the outdoor patio for a large group photo. While the group was getting into position, a drunken patron of the restaurant attempted to crash through the patio. Management quickly apprehended the offender and as she was removed from the premises, she unleashed a profanity-laced tirade that included calling the respected delegates "those weirdos!" In response, Portia Lianne, the Secretary of Housing from the Commonwealth of Boshka, defended the delegates by shouting: "You're a disgusting, ''vile'' woman!" The drunken lout then staggered off into the night and the gala continued without further molestations. | At the conclusion of the awards ceremony, the photographers in attendance asked the delegates to assemble on the outdoor patio for a large group photo.
