Brooklyn Fun

I am at a Key Food supermarket, staring at a french baguette I know I should not get because I can't eat it faster than it hardens. Dang. Nearby is the deli. A black girl, around my age, walks up to the black guy, around our age, behind the counter:

Girl: Hey, I want to buy some ham.
Guy: Okay, which one you want?
Girl: Hmm...Where's that kind that...This...No...
Guy: ...
Girl: HMM.
Guy: Girl, they all good.
Girl: Okay, this one.
Guy: [sticks his hand in to grab it]
Girl: No, sorry, this one, I want this one.
Guy: Okay, do you know what you want?
Girl: I'm just tryin to get the right ham.
Guy: [grins] Well, don't go getting all confused and take me down with you.
Girl: [stares at him] Just cut y'all meat like y'all do.
