Female student:
So she’s buying us new jackets?
Male coach:
Yep .
Female student:
Wow, that’s really nice of her.
Male coach:
Yes, it is. It’s great that former players still care so much about our school and our basketball program . . . Anyway you need to fill out an order form. I’ll give it to you now, and you can bring it back this afternoon. I’ve got the forms from the other players, so as soon as I get yours we can order. Maybe we’ll have the jackets by the next game.
Female student:
OK .
Male coach:
Great . And the next thing is, you know Mary’s transferring to another college next week, so we’ll need someone to take over her role as captain for the second half of the season . And the other players unanimously picked you to take over as captain when Mary leaves .
Female student:
Wow. I saw everybody this morning, and nobody said a word.
Male coach:
They wanted me to tell you . So, do you accept?
Female student:
Of course! But Susan’s a much better player than I am. I’m really surprised they didn’t pick her.
Male coach:
They think you’re the right one . You’ll have to ask them their thoughts .
Female student:
Okay . . . I guess one of the first things I’ll have to do as captain is make sure we get a thank-you card out to the lady who’s buying us the jackets.
Male coach:
Good idea. I have her address here somewhere. And I’ll make sure the whole team signs it.
Female student
Male coach:
Good. That’s all the news there is. I think that’s it for now. Oh, let me get you that order form .
