David is sitting behind Robert and wants to talk about basketball.
David: I heard you guys talking about basketball. Who do you think is the greatest player ever?
Robert: That's easy. It's Michael Jordan.
D: I don't think so. I think it Shaquille O'Neal.
R: What?! Shaq? Jordan is way better than Shaq!
D: No way. Jordan has more fancy moves, but Shaq is better.
R: Are you crazy? Shaq is just big and that is all. Jordan is a beeter shooter. He has better defense. He is more fun to watch. And he has won more championship s. How do you say Shaq is better?
D: I don't know.
R: What do you mean, you don't know?
D: I mean I don't know much about basketball, I jus t h eard my older brother saying Shaq was the best.
R: You don't know much about basketball and you are fighting with me. Are you on a basketball team?
D: No. I'm in a chess club.
R: Chess club?! Then you should talk about chess and not basketball.
D: Sorry. Hey, do you like chess?
R: I hate it. It's the most boring game on earth .
D: You shouldn't say that. It's very fun.
R: Okay, I'm sorry. I promise not to talk about chess if you promise not to talk about basketball.
