Sam-8 :

Hey, you want to play some ping-pong?

  
No.

Sam-8 :

It'll help you relax.

  
What's the score?

Sam-8 :
 
 
Do you want me to show you how to hold that?

No...No, I...

  
I don't need you to show me how to hold it!

Sam-8 :

Yeah, "OK" 

Should we play? 

Yeah!

Shit!

  
19-2.

  
Yeah...

Sam-8 :
 
 
You want a...You want a stick of gum?

I'm fixing the net.

Sam-8 :
It is very Zen with ping-pong,

That's Fairfield, right?

Sam-8 :
There's the town hall.

You...

Sam-8 :
 
 
You know Tess?

Sam-8 :
 
 
You know about Eve, right? 

What?

Sam-8 :
 
 
I had a...We had a girl...
Eve.

High five!
She might be the milkman's, but she's beautiful.
