In the original piece, the prompt was "a bar".
I hate these scenes, since I never go into a bar.
In exasperation, I said to Anoo "I haven't been in a bar in 40yrs!".
Anoo just said "do what you can".
I initiated with "I haven't been in a bar in 40yrs". 
Schuyler picked up on the game and pressed all my buttons.
The writing here is a hightened version of what we did in class.

\dialog{Philbert} I haven't been in a bar since I was in college. 
I can't believe I'm here. There's nothing but drunk people, vomit and stale cigarettes.

\dialog{Schuyler} They serve hot dogs too.

\dialog{Philbert} Hot dogs have nitrites. What? - are you trying to kill me?

\dialog{Schuyler} would you like a lapdance with one of the strippers?

\dialog{Philbert} no! no! no!

\dialog{Schuyler} you said you wanted to see some strippers.

\dialog{Philbert} Well I did. I thought it would be a bit classier than this. 
I must have been stupid. Look at that guy lying on the floor there in a pool of vomit.

\dialog{Schuyler} He hadn't been in a bar since he was in college either, 
till a couple of hours ago. Since then he's been having a great time. 
{\bf He} had a lapdance. Are you sure you don't want one?

\dialog{Philbert} no! no! no!

\dialog{Schuyler} On come on. The girls are all very nice. 
They're not going to hurt you.

\dialog{Philbert} you mean she's going to sit naked in my lap 
and rub her bottom around in circles on me 
and her breasts are going to be in my face 
and I'm going smelling her body?

\dialog{Schuyler} yup.

\dialog{Philbert} my mother would roll over in her grave.

\dialog{Schuyler} your mother isn't here.

\dialog{Philbert} what if something happens to me! I'll be so embarrassed.

\dialog{Schuyler} At least you'll know that everything still works.

\dialog{Philbert} I won't be able to stand up afterwards. 
I'll have to bend over double.

\dialog{Schuyler} Oh no. Don't do that.
Bending over double won't fool anyone.
That will only draw attention to you trying to hide what's going on.

\dialog{Philbert} but everyone will see! 

\dialog{Schyler}
That's the whole point.
You should definitely stand straight up, proudly,
so that everyone can see. 
Everyone will be looking to see how much you enjoyed your lapdance
... especially the strippers.
They'll be looking at you.
They want to know if you like them.

\dialog{Philbert} 
Oh no. the strippers will be looking at me?!
They'll all be laughing at me! I'll be totally humiliated! 

\dialog{Schyler}
Don't be rediculous.
When the crowd sees how much you enjoyed yourself, they'll all cheer. 
Ginny, the barmaid over there ... if she likes what she sees,
she could give you a free beer.
See Ginny is smiling at you. 
She knows you'd like a lapdance.

\dialog{Philbert} no! no! no! This is awful. Some friend you turned out to be.
Why are you doing this to me?

\dialog{Schuyler} one of the dancers, you know Carla, the one you've been looking at -
I've been watching you - has been looking back at you. I think she likes you.

\dialog{Philbert} no! no! no! She's not my type at all. She can't possibly like me. I've never even had a girlfriend.

\dialog{Schuyler} that's because you hang around the library reading books. Your type of women aren't there. Your type of women are right here. Think of all the fun you've been missing out on.

\dialog{Philbert} no! no! no! This can't be true. Oh please don't invite her over. I don't know what to say to her.

\dialog{Schuyler} Carla, can you come over here? I'd like you to meet my friend Philbert. Well Philbert, what do you think? Isn't she something? 

\dialog{Philbert} Ahhh!!!! Ah ... Hello Carla. I'm Philbert. Pleased to meet you. She's very nice. I mean no, no, no.

\dialog{Schuyler} why don't you smell her?

\dialog{Philbert} \paren{smells her} she smells of sweat and perfume.

\dialog{Schuyler} she's sweating because she likes you.

\dialog{Philbert} I thought it was because she was dancing.

\dialog{Schuyler} she was dancing for you. Here, how about we all do a line of cocaine.

\dialog{Philbert} no! no! no! I can't do that. I'm vegetarian.
