[Removing the cigarette from John's mouth was more initiative from Mac than John had expected. His eyes grow wide with surprise before he nods, impressed. Maybe this guy wasn't all talk after all.
With odds newly recalculated (now at 70/30 favoring walking in with no consequences instead of 95/5), John exits the bar without another word. He walks away from Mac and into the street... where he picks up the still glowing cigarette. After a quick blow through his lips John shoves the cigarette back into his mouth and marches back to the pub.
This time he doesn't stop or even acknowledge Mac, instead waltzing directly toward the bar and greeting the blond woman serving drinks with a wide smile.]
