Mr. Abshire says, "Well! It's young Nate!" Nate says, "Hi, Mr. Abshire." Mr. Abshire says, "That's a fine-looking trophy you've got there!" Nate says, "Hm?...Oh. Thanks." Nate says, "My team just played in a round robin." Mr. Abshire says, "Ah! And you won!" Nate says, "No, 'Al's Auto Glass' won." Mr. Abshire says, "You were runner-up, then! Not too shabby!" Nate says, "We weren't runner-up. Actually, we were fourth." Mr. Abshire says, "Well, fourth place is still pretty good in a big tournament!" Nate says, "It wasn't big. There were just four teams." Mr. Abshire says, "Oh." NAte says, "They gave these to everyone just for participating." Mr. Abshire says, "Still, a trophy's a trophy! Take it home and find a place for it!" Nate says, "I will." Clunk!
