The bar's low buzz is ripped apart by the sound of a table overturning. A chair hurtles past, air whistling around it, and misses my cocktail by inches. I swivel slowly, glasses catching the overhead lights as I observe the scuffle with rapt focus. Penny ducks a flying bottle cap without looking up from her phone. Bernadette, fury boiling over at the ale now dripping from her blouse, scrambles onto her stool and screams, 'I will end you myself!' The fighters freeze at her soprano shriek, then plunge back into the fray.
