Growing Up Fast - once Andy eviscerates the cake with his circular saw, Butch accosts the Lone Wanderer and demands that they gives up the sweet roll. The player has a variety of options for response: a simple dismissal, an attempt to share, a spiteful spit on the roll before giving it up, to a vicious verbal jab at his mother's drinking habits. Most responses will provoke Butch to get up and begin throwing punches at the player, which prompts Officer Gomez to intervene.
Notes
The player can eat the sweetroll before Butch has a chance of asking you for it, which will then activate a different scenario: Butch tells them that they'll "get it later".
The player can also drop the sweetroll on the ground before Butch confronts them, prompting a speech option about "throwing the sweetroll away".
Planting the sweetroll on Butch will result in the above two options appearing.

Do you: ..."
The model for sweetrolls originate from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
