To Leave a Lasting Impression...

Devils Advocate (DA) sits down to dinner. Charismatic Charmer (CC) is already at the table, studying a play script.

DA: Is that the school play?

CC: Yes, since it's the beginning of the year, I want to leave a lasting impression.

DA: As an aspiring actor, would you accept a bad role without being guaranteed another chance to perform?

CC: Of course! It's only playing a part.

DA: But…it might mean you would only be remembered for one thing!

CC: Do you mean like, the Joker's 'Why so serious'? What's the problem with that?

DA: But what if it's… embarrassing? Like the pull-ups super baby?

CC: So? Babies are cute no matter what. Everybody grows up.

DA: But what if he never did grow out of it? What if he does it every evening before he settles down with his wife? For the laughs?

CC: I see what you're getting at--what if your first debut was the world's last view?

DA: Exactly!

CC: Thanks! But don't worry, there's no way I'm going down in history as anything other than a statue!

CC Strikes pose and lights go out.
