"Nawh. Thinking about who wants that last apple fritter there."

Just take it, Chick. Sheesh. Most everybody already thinks you're a Goddamned animal. Might as well act like one!
Maybe in the Victorian era, even the lowest of the low and the vulgarest of the vulgar knew better than to simply take the last piece of dessert. The only polite thing to do when only one apple fritter remains in a group of people is to let that apple fritter go to waste. Anything else is just fucking rude.
Having the willpower to forgo grabbing up that last apple fritter isn't going to change Chick's reputation overnight. Especially since Lindsay, Miles, and Randolph aren't here to witness it. But maybe it'll earn some good will with the Bindlestiffs! Besides, they brought the food so they probably expect the others to take the last bites even while the others, being the gracious hosts, are probably expecting the guests to take the final treat.
Pugnax should just come up and steal it out of the pic-a-nic basket.
