A few drinks or sniffs or puffs later and the punches would be thrown, but somehow the antagonists’ energies rarely seemed entirely in the fray.
Несколько рюмок, понюшек или затяжек - и начинались тычки и пинки, но противники редко выплескивали всю свою энергию.

I swung from the balcony, my feet several feet above the fray, held suspended in an acutely painful fashion by Murphy's handcuffs, one loop around my wrist, the other locked around the balcony railing.
Я висел под антресолью в каких-то нескольких футах над верхней кромкой дыма. Мёрфин наручник, на которого приходился весь мой вес, больно резал запястье.
