Athlete
-You’re the only pride this town got left and
you’re about finished.
-Ghost from a ghost town? Not quite.
-You’re okayed to play Sunday for the championship?
-Docs say so, but they don't give a shit if I die.
-Well, give it your best.
-When did I not? Media gets me both ways: if we win:
Gallant warrior's last triumph etc. If we lose:
The last and most bitter defeat of the once-gallant...
-See that you win. Winning trumps the blather
about gallant and all the rest!
-Agreed! Win for the glory! Well, actually, the money.
Three ex-wives depending on it!
