He is interrupted by Jensag, a barman in the Red Lyon, which connects to Cargunka's office. Jensag demands that Cargunka stop the music. They quarrel over the phonograph, and Jensag smashes it. Cargunka takes off his coat and invites Jensag into a larger room so that they can fight properly. Cargunka mutters to himself that a fist-fight is his usual manner for making a new friend. Although Cargunka has a size disadvantage, he handily defeats the barman, knocking him unconscious, but pours brandy down the man's throat.
