Cassandra: Oh my, Eli, what a huge TV!
Eli: Pretty cool, isn’t it?
Cassandra: Will Asher or Eron be joining us?
Eli: Nope, they’re both working today. You get me all to yourself.
Cassandra: I have to share you with at least eleven other guys though.
Eli: Listen, Cassandra, if you don’t want to watch, we can do something else.
Cassandra: No, I agreed, Eli. It’s just that I don’t understand anything about football.
Eli: You knew how many guys were on a team, so you know something. Tell you what, I’ll try to explain a little while we watch, okay?
Cassandra: That might work. Thanks, Big Guy.
Eli: Man, that call sure sucked….. er, I meant that was a real bad call. Did you see that, Tiny?
Cassandra: (through a yawn) Yes, Eli.
Eli: Mounties sure aren’t getting any breaks here.
Eli: Hey you want anything else? I gotta go get me some salsa….. ooops. Lost her.
Cassandra: No, I’m awake. And thanks, I don’t need anything else.
Eli: Oh, come on!!! That’s pass interference! Call the game right, wouldja????................ Sorry, Tiny, uh,…..you sure?
Cassandra: I was getting a little chilly, but you have this nice afghan here. I’m all right.
Eli: Oh yeah, right! Sure - Kick ‘em when they’re down you dirty son of a….…. sorry Darlin.’ I get a little carried away.
Cassandra: (to herself, under her breath) I wish someone would carry me away.
Eli: What’d you say?
Cassandra: I said yes, that’s certainly one pathetic referee there.
Eli: Asleep, huh? Hey, guess what? The Mountaineers won…… and guess what else?
Eli: I love you, Tiny.
