While at a local restaurant for lunch the other day I had just finished ordering my usual dish from Ashley when I received a call from Dipak which prompted me to speak to George who happened to be at another table at that time. George called Dipak and left for his house immediately but not before secretly paying Ashley for my meal. The entire interaction took less than ten minutes but understanding the setting, characters and roles in this drama vignette illustrates the first step in the process of urban exegesis.
