Gucci: So no more regret now?

May: Don't remind me of that. This would be the last time I cut any classes for a basketball game.

Gucci: Come on. Don't be so hard on yourself. Enjoy your life.

May: I just can't help it. Oh, look at Clive, he is really a big hit. They are definitely gonna win.

Gucci: It's only seven minutes into the game, too early to cheer up.

May: Come on, 18 points already, they are never gonna catch up.

Gucci: Who knows! It's a long game. Look! That was a really nice shot!

May: Thay are coming back to narrow the gap.

Gucci: Wait, that guy, I know him. He is just a bench warmer.

May: A secret weapon. They'd better set up the defense² now.

Gucci: Clive is ready to explode. Keep your eyes open.

May: Oh, man! I can't believe it. A slam dunk!
