Jack Elliot:

Skip:

Trey:
You hit .235 last season.
Elliot: [throws off his cap]

Skip: [clears throat]
There aren't exactly choices, Jack. We only had one taker so we... took.
Trey:
We called everyone, Jack, Canada...
Elliot:
No, not Canada!
Skip: [as Elliot talks]

Skip:
If you wanna play this season Jack, you're a Chunichi Dragon.
Elliot: [[w:Chunichi Dragons|Chunichi Dragon]
