"But the money we'll lose...my sources say the Battery park gangs are gearing up to protect themselves from future..." "Niet Nickov!  I have spoken."You notice one of them has a suspicious bulge beneath his jacket, as if there is a gun of some king strapped there.  On close inspection...they ALL have such bulges.You also hear some of the couple to the side's conversation.  They are pretty clearly talking about wedding plans...apparently they have been engaged for some time, and are working on finalizing their wedding next month.[/sblock]A waitress arrives and asks "Can I take your drink orders?"</blockquote>
