John Chacko, Jr. approaches a middle-aged woman looking for a bowling ball. She’s fit and rather attractive for her age.
John:  So, bowl here often?
Woman:  Uh, not really. My son likes to bowl.
John:  A kid? Hey, The Juice is cool with that.
Woman:  The what?
John:  The Juice. It’s my nickname. 
Beat.
Woman:  Okay.
John:  You probably don’t recognize me without all my trophies. I’m John Chacko, Jr… The Juice.
Woman:  …
John:  Of bowling fame.
Woman:  Uhuh, so I have to go.
John:  Do you honestly not know who I am?
Woman:  I feel like if I say no, you’re going to keep talking to me… so yes?
John:  I’ve bowled a ‘299’ 38 times! I have been one point shy of perfection 38 times.
Woman:  To be honest, that sounds like the type of thing people create an award for so the person doesn’t go out and kill themselves.
John:  I’m not going to lie. Sometimes I put the gun in my mouth to see what it tastes like.
Woman:  Ok, I really have to go.
She walks away.
John:  I could run for fucking mayor if I wanted. I’m the goddamn Juice.
