Object
Laurie's Ham-and-Cheese Sandwich
A handheld ham-and-cheese sandwich invoked in a cramped diner booth during a charged exchange. The script gives no exact bread, wrapping, or size; the sandwich exists as a physical, consumable item that Laurie is holding and Sam physically takes across the table, making the food momentarily an object of contact, ownership, and embarrassment.

Purpose
Immediate personal consumption as a meal or snack.
Significance
The sandwich functions as a tangible locus of power: its forcible taking crystallizes humiliation and the unequal dynamic between Sam and Laurie, escalating private tension and foreshadowing later public consequences. It transforms from ordinary food into a plot catalyst and symbol of boundary violation.
