| Cody | But he says it's not right, he says they'll all pay for it later, they don't know what they're doing, that........ |
| Jeff | Oh come on Cody, you know everything is checked out now, I mean you don't think the government or the IAB would let people do anything that wasn't one hundred percent ok? And think of the money - and the tv. Cody, you will never get another chance like this will he Sal? |
| Sally | Why don't you go, see what it's like - I mean, you might not even get picked - and then, if you're still unsure, you don't have to join a team do you? |
