Ford does pull back, there. Because he's being teased, and though it's not the most upsetting thing that's happened to him, stepping back is more dignified than standing there letting Bill touch him and wishing they were kissing like an idiot.
He's basically just given Bill permission to tease him as much as he wants. Was this really a good idea?
The champagne says it was a good idea. The champagne says a better idea would be to take him up on it. Ha, you thought he wouldn't, how does it feel to be wrong, Bill? Very good, probably, if they're kissing. Which they could be.
Ford listens to the champagne, but instead of following its advice, he knocks back the rest of what's in the flute.

"So," he says, "what now?"
