Daniel: Deal, Where is Gucci?

May: She is the cheer-leader. They are required to put on a performance. Look! Here they come.

Daniel: Oh, look at her. She looks like one is the basketball babies in NBA.

May: (Mumble) I want to be like her.

Daniel: Get real. Don't be so pathetic.

May: Hey, young man! I'm your sis. Don't talk to me like that.

Daniel: Oh, man, look at her, go! She is amazing! She should be my sis.
