Jessica was heading to the Kwik Stop for some gum. She figured she would give the drinking guy a chance to move along, but if he was still there when she got out a couple minutes later....
Oh look. "Hey, buddy. You know, there may be more pleasant places to have a drink than right outside a place."
"That might be slightly more appropriate. The ducks might enjoy the show," Jessica reasoned as she pulled out a stick of gum. She wasn't on duty and he wasn't doing anything illegal (she assumed there was no way there was a public intoxication ordinance), so she was being as casual as possible. "But I'd suggest drinking at home or in one of our fine bars."
"I'll give you a piece of gum if you do," Jessica offered, holding out the pack she just bought. "It can probably absorb some of whatever you've got there and give you a time release buzz for hours."
"No thanks," Bellamy said, waving a hand at her. "Keep your gum. I'm fine. I'll move on in a little bit and you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done."
"Okay," Jessica said, sliding the pack into her purse. "But if I find out on radio tomorrow that you did anything dumb I should have stopped, I'm going to be annoyed, okay? Stay out of trouble."
Oh look. "Hey, buddy. You know, there may be more pleasant places to have a drink than right outside a place."

"I'm just standing here," he said patiently. "Prefer I go to the park or something?"

"Any particular reason you couldn't wait longer than five steps to crack that open?"
