Jerome glances back at Marco and is struck silent in shock and horror at the sight of Marco lighting up the Black & Mild.

Panel 4:

Claire: “Let me get around the other side. We can pull it back towards the wall.”

A look of knowing worry comes over Germaine.
Germaine: “Oh dear.”

Jerome: “You gotta be the dumbest person I know!”

Panel 7:

Marco (Still oblivious): “What?”
