Shuji: Oh,
	fine.

Hikari: ...who are you?

Shuji: Sagawa Shuji.
	Hide-chan's old friend.
	We were great pals, years ago.
	Did everything together.
	What's mine is Hide-chan's.
	What's Hide-chan's,
	is mine.

Hikari: I'll scream if you get any closer.

Shuji: I wouldn't do that if I were you.
	I don't want my hand peeling this apple to slip if I'm startled, right?

Hikari: Ah,
	A cockroach, on the wall behind you!

Shuji: Don't try those old tricks on me.

Hikari: Ah,

Meiwa Coach: Where is Coach Koga?

Player: T-that's Meiwa's coach!

Noda: We know.

 - Page 18 -

Hiro: Who IS that guy, anyways...?

Noda: Didn't I tell you?  He must be abnormally famous.
	How do you know him?

Koga: Hmm?

Noda: That Meiwa coach has never so much as bowed to his own principal...

	But he's on a tight budget this month,

Noda: That's all?

Koga: Don't worry.
	I tacked on some interest for being late.

Hiro: I'd say just abnormal.

Noda: Okay,
