Default Commuting, thunderstorms, flight attendants, et al

You're riding in the back of the aircraft and you're in an area of continuous light turbulence.

The flight attendants are milling about the cabin serving beverages and the turbulence goes from continuous light, to occasional moderate to a few jolts of severe.

The jolts of severe turbulence sends everything that isn't strapped down flying into the air, including a passenger that struck her head on the passenger service unit overhead.

The flight attendants shrug and say "Well, the captain hasn't turned on the fasten seatbelt sign so we'll keep serving."

Meanwhile the turbulence progresses to "continuous moderate" and drinks are being spilled, people are screaming and the plane reeks of alcohol and vomit.

The flight attendant asks "Would you like a beverage?"

You're an experienced flight crew member riding in uniform.

What do you say?

Anything?

Nothing?
