"It is good to have such a memento," the thin man observes, accepting his coffee and toast with a murmured, "thank you."
"Ah, the Chrysler building, an exquisite piece of art deco design, and a very good choice. Its distinctive roof was the product of a competition with another building to be the tallest skyscraper in New York, at the time. An exquisite last-minute surprise."
Watching Steve retrieve the present, he adds, "speaking of surprises... thank you, again, Mr. Rogers." He'll set down his own coffee (sipped) and toast (nibbled) to receive the package, tracing his fingers over it.
"No, no, I think I shall open it here, if you don't mind." And unless Steve objects, he fits deed to word.
