Everybody Knows...

...real men don't eat lettuce. Rick watches Clarky picking limp
green segments from his kebab with distaste and says nothing.
Shares a private smile with Nicky across the table.

Same thing every day. Tosser. Why order it with if you
don't like it?

Clarky's not shy, no. He just thinks it would be rude to
ask Naz to leave something out. He's worked in a chippie.
He knows how busy it gets.

God forbid Nazir would say yes, and do it up special.
He might even smile, bring it over himself.

No. Clarky would blush, and we can't have that.
