English term or phrase: You’ve certainly earned one.
Nick: "Those shoes are the reason why you’re sitting here with me. By the way, congratulations on your performance tonight. The crowd loved you. But why did you take your shoes off?”
Raven: “I didn’t take them off by choice,” I said. “My left shoe committed shoeicide.”
Nick: “Shoeicide?”
Raven: “Halfway through ‘Anaconda’, I felt one of my heels wobble and realized that it was on the verge of breaking.”
Nick: “When you removed your shoes, I knew that something must have gone wrong, but you carried it off well. Many dancers would have fallen apart, but you didn’t. You recovered and finished the song.” He reached for the bottle of Scotch that sat on the table next to him and poured two fingers of it into his glass. “Can I offer you a drink? You’ve certainly earned one.”
