Ryo's waiting to get at the canned tuna, and Lan Di wants a closer look at the tapes, but they're both too polite to make it obvious. The longer it lasts, the more the awkward stalemate becomes a battle of wills, until one of them breaks and says, "Sorry, could I just... Thanks." The other wants to then celebrate a quiet moral victory, but can't overcome the feeling that it's a hollow one. A mildly bitter resentment lingers on both sides, escalating to paranoia when they cross paths again at the chilled goods section, little able to hide it in their eyes as they emphatically offer to let the other have their pick first, because oh, you've just always got to have it your way, don't you? No, no, be my guest you little prick. Have the whole fucking store to yourself, I've got all day. All freaking week. Give me a call when you're done, no problem at all.
And so the Shenmue saga... begins.
