One More Stall

Chinese New Year in Yaowarat in February, lanterns and a crowd, Tee and Golf: one more stall, come on; it's midnight, you know, the boat goes at six; six is ages away, come on now; what's at the next stall, then; grilled bread, you can't not eat it; I can skip it, you know; one piece, then; fine, one, mind: the sentence-end particles that carry the wink, coaxing and resisting.
