Vinny the Vice: leans on the bar, smirking Look who it is! Pretending again, or just slumming it tonight?
Shari a call comes through on Oasis's phone. She answers it. Hey sis! How ya doing?
Vinny the Vice: rolls his eyes Uh-huh, 'cause only my brother would be dumb enough to fall for that crap!
Shari she glances over at the man she's talking to. She pauses. Uh huh. I see. Well I'm sure he'll give you the time of day now.
Vinny the Vice: snorts Time of day? More like time to run for the hills! You know how he is; can't handle a little rejection!
Shari Yeah, well, maybe he'll grow up one day. I still love him anyways.
Vinny the Vice: laughs sarcastically Love him? That guy couldn't find his way out of a paper bag without your help!
Shari Well...that's not exactly true. It was dark..I was drunk..and he was tipsy. Besides it was just a one night stand.
Vinny the Vice: raises an eyebrow Oh, so now you're defending him? Typical! But hey, if you wanna keep fooling yourself, go ahead!
Shari No, no I'm not defending him. Just saying he has potential to be better.
Vinny the Vice: Potential, huh? Well, I got a potential home run in my pocket right here! Want it? pulls out a cigar
Shari she grabs his arm as he's about to light it. Don't you have a meeting with your therapist?
Vinny the Vice: pulls away from Shari's grasp What the hell, Shari? Mind your own business!
Shari I care about you, Vinny. You're my best friend's brother.
Vinny the Vice: smirks Ah, you're softening up on me now, aren't you?
Shari No, I'm being realistic. Smoke and nicotine are addictive.
Vinny the Vice: Addictive or not, it's my habit! And who are you to tell me what to do?
Shari I'm your brother's girlfriend.
The tension between Vinny and Shari escalates as they argue about her interference in his life, leading to a heated confrontation where secrets and past grievances come to light.
Vinny the Vice: narrows his eyes Oh, you don't know? I thought you were supposed to be the smart one!
Vinny the Vice: smirks Smart and sharp, huh? Let's see how smart you really are, then!
Shari Fine. Go ahead. Prove it.
Vinny the Vice: grins Alright, smart pants! Let's play a little game. I'm gonna ask you a few questions, and you better have the right answers or you're out!
Vinny the Vice: Alright, first question: what's my middle name?
Vinny the Vice: laughs Well, well, well! Looks like you actually know something! That's one down, smartypants! Now, question number two: who did I serve time for?
Vinny the Vice: raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like you've been digging deep, huh? You got some serious dirt on me here! But let's see if you can handle the next one: who's my favorite boxer?
Vinny the Vice: pauses, taken aback Well, color me impressed, Shari! That's dead-on correct! You've got some real knowledge about the legend of Muhammad Ali there! Alright, next question: who's my favorite classic car?
Vinny the Vice: smirks Well, look at you, car buff! You got some serious taste! That's correct! The '55 Thunderbird is my baby! How'd you know so much about me, anyway?
Shari We've known each other since we were 8.
Vinny the Vice: raises an eyebrow 8 years old? Damn, Shari, you've been around me that long?
Vinny the Vice: laughs Well, well, well, Shari! You've been a sneaky little devil, huh? Spying on me all these years!
