answer: #Person1# and #Person2# decide to keep eating because they can't hear Jack's annual speech.
documents: #Person1#: Oh. It looks like Jack is going to make his annual speech.
  #Person2#: Couldn't he wait until we're finished eating?
  #Person1#: Yeah. I'm still hungry, but I guess it's kind of rude to keep eating while he's talking, huh?
  #Person2#: Can you even hear what he's saying?
  #Person1#: No. He's so far away I can hardly see him! Let's keep eating!
  #Person2#: Can you turn the lazy Susan for me? I want some more chicken.
  #Person1#: All that's left is a leg. I gave the head to Tim!
