Roy: Ronald! Where have you been?
Ronald: I just got here, why?
[Roy:]( The tryout results just got posted!
[Ronald:] Did I make the team?
[Roy:] See for yourself.
Payton: The lists are up! The lists are up!
Arlene: I made first-chair trombone!!
Ronald: I'm the new running back!
Mary: Oh my gosh! Ronald, look!
Ronald: Mary Hawkins... Kicker? I guess you really impressed Coach at tryouts! Are you gonna accept? There's a chance you'll get tackled.
Mary: I... I think I will. If the coach thinks I can handle it, then so do I.
Ronald: I'm so proud of you, Mary. And the best part is... We'll be together...
Mary: Agreed. I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else.
Ronald: We'll be the most dynamic duo this school has ever seen!
Frank: Bravo, you two. Remind me to buy a "congratulations" card.
Ronald: You know, it's sometimes hard to tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
Frank: Oh, I'm definitely being sarcastic.
Ronald: I get it. You're Mr. "I'm too cool to take place in extracurricular activities". We're all very impressed.
Frank: Sounds like you've got me pegged. Of course... If you actually want to get to know me, you could always come hang out with me and my friends at lunch.
Ronald: Wait... Is that a genuine invitation? Or... are you being sarcastic again?
Frank: This time it's genuine. If you want to hang out, meet me outside after the third bell.
Ronald: In that case... I need to do a rain check.
Frank: Your loss. See you around sometime. Enjoy your... Highly-organized activities.
Mary: That guy is lucky he's cute. His personality leaves a lot to be desired.
Ronald: He's definitely... unique. Anyway, I don't care what he says. I'm super excited to make that list!
Mary: Me too! I wonder what is our first practice going to be like...
Ronald: My first uniform!
Roy: Ronald, nice uniform!
Ronald: Hahaha... Thanks. Yours looks nice, too. Love the red color!
Coach Burke: Welcome and congrats, everyone, for making this year's team! It's a big accomplishment.
Julian: Can I get a "hell yeah"?
Allan: Hell Yeah!!
Mary: Hell... I mean heck yeah!
Coach Burke: I like that spirit! Okay! Before we begin, I have a couple of announcements. First of all, Mary has resigned her position as my assistant and will be playing kicker instead. And, second, a yearbook photographer is here to take pictures of our practice.
Julie: Hi everyone!
Julian: Julie?
Julie: Hey, Julian...
Coach Burke: There'll be plenty of time to talk later. Everybody, line up! Julie's taking action shots, so I expect you all to play your hardest.
Brian: A quick piece of advice. Just keep the camera pointed in my direction. I'm where the action is.
Roy: Brian, how am I supposed to get better if you keep ignoring me?
Brian: Get better? Doesn't everyone think you're the best?
Roy: Brian...
Brian: Okay, fine, Roy... Go lang.
Brian: You see what I have to work with around here? I'm making Tom Brady throws, but my receivers can't catch 'em!
Allan: What are you talking about? That pass sailed twenty feet over his head.
Brian: In that case, maybe Roy needs to learn how to jump higher.
Ronald: Or you could just throw on target!
Brian: How's this for on target?
Coach Burke: Whoa... Nice one, Ronald!
Brian: Thanks to my throw!
Roy: Are you kidding me? You could have seriously hurt somebody.
Brian: Please. What a drama queen. I was just messing around.
Roy: That's what you do best, isn't it? Messing around...
Julie: I... I think I'm gonna go. I got a few good photos at least!
Ronald: Not bad.
Julie: Thanks. I'll see you soon, Ronald.
Brian: Let's just hope she got my good side. Who are we kidding? All my sides are good.
Coach Burke: Brian, not another word out of you. Quarterback may be the most prestigious position, but it's also one which requires you to work with your team.
Brian: Not my fault, Coach. Roy and Ronald are ganging up on me!
Roy: Ganging up on you?
Brian: Come on, it's obvious. Everyone knows you hate me!
Coach Burke: I've heard enough. You kids are some of the best players we've got. Whatever your issues are, you'd better work them out before Friday. Understood?
Roy: Yes, sir.
Brian: Yeah, whatever.
Coach Burke: Okay. That's it for practice today. Everyone, hit the showers.
Mary: Thanks for joining me out here. I just...
Ronald: No worries, I'm glad to be out there, too. Tensions were too high with Roy and Brian in the cafeteria today.
Mary: I hope things cool down before practice later.
Ronald: Yeah, but let's not worry about that. We're outside, it's a beautiful day, no one is causing drama--
Brian: ...
Ronald: ... Famous last words.
Nishan: Uh, hi, Brian.
Sakura: What the hell, Brian? Did you seriously just steal Nishan's cookie right on front of him?
Brian: Yeah. What are you gonna do about it? I'm twice your size, sweetheart.
Sakura: Don't you dare--
Ronald: Hey, Brian! Knock it off!
Brian: Oh, look! The rookie football player is sticking up for the nerds! Nice try, Ronald, but we both know I could take you in a fight.
Ronald: You wouldn't dare.
Brain: Of course I wouldn't. That would be totally unfair.
Mary: You're right... But not for the reasons you think!
Brian: Really, blondie? Like what?
Mary: It's just that there are six of us and only one of you.
Brian: I could take any of you.
Ronald: Individually, I'm sure. But all at once?
Brian: I... Fine, I'm out of here. By the way, Nishan, your cookies are disgusting.
Ronald: Mary, that was awesome!
Mary: What was?
Ronald: You totally got Brian to leave!
Mary: That was mostly you, Ronald.
Ronald: Sure, I started it, but you were the one who really got to him.
Mary: I -- I guess we make a pretty good team.
Luis: You super do!
Mary: Luis?
Luis: I mean, uh, hi, Mary... Um, and Ronald.
Ronald: Hi, Luis. What's up?
Luis: I just came over here to say, er, say that it was epic how you stood up to Brian like that.
Mary: Oh, thank you, Luis.
Ronald: Something you wanna say, Luis?
Luis: What? Uh, no. I'll... See you later, Mary!
Sakura: Sorry about that. Look, what Luis was trying to ask was if you wanted to come sit with us?
Mary: Um... Okay!
Ronald: Let's go.
Nishan: Hey, guys! Welcome to the fun table!
Mary: Hi. Um, where should I sit?
Arlene: Mary, how about right here between me and Luis!
Mary: Well, okay!
Luis: Um... Hi, Mary. Again.
Arlene: What about you, Ronald? How about you sit between me and my cousin Nishan.
Ronald: Nah no worries... I'll just sit between Luis and Mary.
Sakura: Well, actually, we were thinking--
Luis: Yeah, sure. Come and sit here.
Nishan: Great! Welcome!
Ronald: By the way, Arlene, don't you usually sit with the band?
Arlene: Yesterday at band practice, Ezra was being obnoxious and not listening to anyone, so Aiden and a bunch of us walked out.
Mary:Ezra? But he seemed so nice!
Arlene: I think being the student director has gone to his head. Anyway, it's like, civil war there. I thought Ezra was gonna bite Aiden's head off. Best to stay far, far away. Besides, I've gotta bond with my "Lookout" team sometimes.
Ronald: Lookout? What's lookout?
Nishan: You've never heard of Lookout?
Luis: It's a competitive team-based FPS, and the flagship title of Blizzard Studios.
Ronald: Huh?
Mary: Basically, you're on a team of six people with guns, and you're trying to kill another team of six before they get you.
Luis: You've played it, Mary?
Mary: No, but I've been wanting to. It looks like a lot of fun.
Arlene: Oh my gosh! I just had the best idea! Mary, Ronald, how about you join our team?
Sakura: Arlene, I thought we said no noobs! What about our win record?
Sakura: I mean, uh, yes. We've been looking for two more players, and we'd love to have you.
Nishan: We're playing tomorrow evening in the computer lab, and you're very welcome to join. Right, Luis?
Luis: ... I mean, yeah. If you want to, that is.
Ronald: I'd rather not slow you guys down.
Arlene: Really, it would be fine--
Mary: No, Ronald's right. I know how competitive Lookout is. You should find people who know what they're doing.
Nishan: But--
Ronald: I've gotta go. It was fun sitting with you guys.
Luis: Yeah, it was.
Allan: Roy, Brian told me to tell you to study your routes. He's tired of you being in the wrong place.
Roy: Did he say anything else?
Allan: I... don't think I should repeat it.
Roy: Well then, Allan, can you tell--
Ronald: Okay, that's it! Roy, come with me, we're talking to Brian.
Ronald: Look, Brian, I know Roy and I aren't your favorite people, but could you please put that aside, just for a few hours?
Brian: And why should I do that? You guys are the ones making my life a pain.
Ronald: Do it because... You owe it to the rest of the team.
Brian: Let me tell you something. I don't owe this team a thing. They need me way more than I need them.
Brian: Look, fine. I'll give you and Roy another chance... under one condition.
Roy: What is it?
Brian: Roy admits that Zoe and I should've been together from the start.
Ronald: Brian!!!!
Roy: Is that what you want? Okay.
Ronald: Roy--
Roy: Ronald, I owe this to the team. Brian... you and Zoe should have been together from the start.
Brian: Cool...
Ronald: Does this mean that you'll be a team player now?
Brian: Dude, sure. You play your best. I'll play my best. Everybody wins.
Roy: Right. Everybody wins.
