Hiro: Don't you think that would be pretty sad, now?

Noda: Yeah...  a bit.

Hiro: Do you hate this school?

Noda: Nah.

Hiro: Then let's play it cool.
	It was fate that led us to this school without a baseball team.
	Doesn't it sound fun to you, that we get to start from nothing?
	We'll create the history of this school's baseball team.

Noda: Hmmm.

Hiro: I don't care about the Koshien.
	We get to play baseball again!
	Our golden battery.

Noda: No complaints here.

Hiro: We'll give all those famous schools a surprise.

Noda: Yeah.

Hiro: Let's do it.
