Lingling:
Hi Tony, you look tired.
Tony:
Yes, I'm training for the big match
next week.
Betty:
Who are you playing against?
Tony:
HAS.
Lingling:
What does HAS stand for?
Tony:
Haidian All Stars.
Betty:
Oh, yes. It'll be a difficult match.
Didn't they beat you last time?
Tony:
Yes, they did. But...
Lingling:
What was the score?
Betty:
If my memory is correct, HAS 98
points to BIG 52.
Tony:
But Daming wasn't chosen for
the team last time.
That was a
bad decision.
We can't play well
without him.
Lingling:
That's no excuse!
Tony:
But Daming is back now.
There's
no difference between the two
teams this season.
Betty:
When is the match?
Tony:
It's next Saturday at noon, but if
you want good seats, you should
come by 11:30.
Are you coming?
Betty:
I'm not sure.
Do you think they'll
win, Lingling?
Lingling:
No way!
How many matches have
you played against HAS this year?
Tony:
Well, about three.
Betty:
And how many have HAS won?
Tony:
Er... most of them.
Betty:
Wrong! All of them!
Face the
truth, Tony.
You've got no chance!
Tony:
I don't agree. That's not fair!
(Tony leaves angrily.)
Lingling:
Remember to throw the ball, not
kick it, Tony!
Betty:
He's so mad at us that he'll try
harder to win, just to show we're
wrong!
Lingling:
Nice work, Betty!
I do hope they
win this time.
We'll be there to
cheer for them.
That's no excuse!
No way!
Face the truth.
You've got no chance!
Nice work!
