- Rick is a 20 year old kid, who lives in the Southside of Chicago. He's been working for a local gang for the past 10 years.
- Scene 4
- Sorry to bother you both, but I'm being forced to rob you or I'll be in big trouble. Can you please give me your purses.

- Scene 6
- You're off the hook this time, but this is your last chance.
- Rather than making an actual attempt to rob the girls, Rick is merely going through the motions, not committed to his role.
- Umm...No.
- Distancing himself from his role has now caught up to him, regardless of whether he's morally doing what is right.
-
- I'm so sorry, I won't do it again. Please don't hurt me.
- Rick has engaged in role distancing which is removing himself from his role to see as though it's not his true self. He displayed this by not chasing after the girls immediately, and by not making a real attempt to rob them. Unfortunately for Rick he can't afford to continue role distancing because he'll risk losing his life. It's important to know that whatever situation you're in, it's often a good idea to stick to your role.
- Understood.
