Two Old Timer's Enter Modern Walker's Bar

Lets get straight to the comedy! Skit. Two old timers; one Mexican, the other Anglo, walk into a Mexican Resteraunt that used to be Walkers Bar. You play old timer 1, and I will play old timer 2, and we will individual improv back and forth to each other. Pool tables can be seen in the imaginations of the two old timers. Music can be heard, Women and Beer can be smelt. They both have fits inside the restarant. The place is made from prefaracated steel. Walkers Bar used to be made of wood, with character. Markings and small writings used to line the walls and Walkers. Names, places from. It was a Historical Museum. Now, now the foundation is not even there. Gone. Like the wind. Whisshhhh goes the wind.

(Old Timer 1 stumbles in, hands on his hips, squinting at the steel walls of the restaurant like he's just been teleported to another planet.)

OLD TIMER 1: (grumbling) You smell that? Ain’t wood. Ain’t beer. Ain’t history. Smells like... (sniffs dramatically) ...fresh paint and disappointment.

(He taps the steel wall with a knuckle. It clangs. He winces like it physically hurt him.)

OLD TIMER 1: Damn shame. Walkers had soul. Had stories. Had that one corner booth where Billy Joe passed out with his boots still on, rest his no-good soul. Now? (gestures around) Now it’s a tin can that serves tacos.

(He glares at the imaginary pool tables in his mind, shaking his head like an old dog remembering a buried bone.)

Your turn, compadre.

Though the metal walls had been remodled into something that looked nice, that metal could still be heard clanking. Leans over and whispers to Gonzales, "these patrons would throw their food up, if we had a boot kicking rowdy doe 30 steps right through those tables and into the cash register... " Gonzales looks over, and shakes his head up and down, "see"....

OLD TIMER 1 (leans in, eyes twinkling with mischief, whispers)
"Yeah... and if we got a good ol’ bar brawl going, that steel’d ring out like a church bell on Sunday morning. Ain't no acoustics like a man gettin' thrown headfirst into corrugated iron."

(He grins, eyes scanning the imaginary scuffs on the wooden floor that ain't there no more, lost in nostalgia.)

"You remember ol’ Skinny Pete? That fella got tossed clean over the bar one night—landed in the pickle jar. Bartender let him keep the jar lid as a trophy."

(He pats the table, solid, too solid, no history in it. Shakes his head.)

"Now look at this place. Not a scratch, not a dent. No bloodstains tellin’ stories. It’s like a restaurant got built on a graveyard."

(He exhales, lets the wind do its sad little whisshhhh through the cracks in time.)

Your serve, partner.

Leans far in, and peers right down the center of the nose of the other old timer, and says, back in early 1900

ChatGPT said:

OLD TIMER 1 (doesn’t flinch, just squints right back, nose to nose, breath smelling like black coffee and regret)

"Back in early 1900... we wouldn’t be sittin’ here talkin’ ‘bout what used to be… ‘cause it’d still be here! Walker’s Bar wouldn’t just up and vanish like a fart in a whirlwind. Hell no!"

(He leans back, jabs a thumb toward the steel wall, which lets out a dull clang.)

"You know what this is? This is an imposter. A counterfeit. Like some city slicker wearin’ a cowboy hat but ain't never sat a horse a day in his life!"

(Shakes his head, muttering, then looks at Gonzales, serious as a judge.)

"You reckon if we just start playin’ pool right here in our minds, the spirits of Walkers might show up and join in?"

Ball’s in your court, compadre.

You said:

Old timer, you didn't let me finish when you cut me off. I said, that back in the 1900's; early that is, this town used to have around 20 bars, and one of those bars was named "the bloody bucket". Leans back out from his wringled nose pointing down the nose of old timer. Now, we certainly didn't get that carried away at Walkers Bar, nope....... But close....

ChatGPT said:

OLD TIMER 1 (chuckles, leans back, rubbing his chin)

"Heh… The Bloody Bucket, now there’s a name that don’t leave much to the imagination. Bet they mopped that floor more with sawdust than a mop."

(Shakes his head, a wistful grin forming.)

"But yeah, Walkers… Walkers had its own brand of wild. Just the right amount—like pourin’ whiskey up to the rim but not quite spillin’ over. Well… maybe spillin’ just a little."

(He glances around the restaurant, sighs, then slaps the table.)

"You remember that fella—what was his name? Ralph? No… Roy! The one that bet he could shoot a cue ball clean across the room into a spittoon? That man lined up like he was takin’ the final shot of the Wild West Championship... and sent that ball flyin’ straight into Old Lady Mabel’s soup bowl instead."

(He wheezes out a laugh, then pats his chest like his heart might give out from the memory.)

"I swear she about knocked his teeth in with that spoon. And you know what Roy did? Ordered her another bowl. ‘Cause that’s what you did at Walkers. You raised hell, then you made it right."

(He exhales, looking off like he can still see the old place standing, flickering like a mirage in the heat waves.)

"Now? Now you spill your drink in here, and they hand you a napkin like you ain’t got a sleeve."

Your shot, partner.

Instead of running threw tables until everyone freaks out, old timer casually walks past them, congradulating People for destroying a historical monument. Mumbling: Every dollar you spend in this metal can is an insult to History!l The two People in the back where the old timers are headed, are now wide eyed, looking at the old timers approaching the adjacent empty table. The two nervously glance at each other, as they go back to eating, while observing the old timers approach Peripherally. <(Strange word, but not now.)

OLD TIMER 1 (walking slow, hands behind his back like a disappointed schoolmaster, nodding at each table)

“Well, well, well… look at y’all. Enjoyin’ your tacos. Sippin’ your margaritas. Mighty fine, mighty fine… ain’t nothin’ like the taste of erasin’ history, huh?”

(He pats a random fella on the shoulder, who stiffens mid-bite.)

"Feels good, don’t it? Tearin’ down a piece of the past just to put up somethin’ shiny and soulless. Yep. Real fine job, folks. Real fine."

(He keeps walking, mumbling just loud enough for folks to hear.)

"Every dollar spent here? An insult to history! Every bite? A chomp outta heritage!"

(He and Gonzales keep striding toward the back, their footsteps echoing on the steel floor. The two diners in the corner go wide-eyed, frozen mid-chew, sneaking nervous glances at the old timers approaching. The air feels thick, like the walls themselves are holding their breath.)

OLD TIMER 1 (reaches the empty table, pulls out a chair with a slow screeeeeech, then finally glances at Gonzales)

“You feel that, partner?” (He pats the steel table, which lets out a dead, soulless thunk.)

“Ain’t no ghosts here. Ain’t no stories. Just metal and regret.”

(He exhales hard, like he’s tryin’ to blow the old wood grain back into existence.)

Your deal, compadre.
