Colasanti :
that’s why your name’s on the board.
Gracie :
yeah where?
Colasanti :
junior varsity.
Gracie :
junior varsity
Colasanti :
if you’re gonna be the first girl on my team then you got to be better than good.and you got to act like you deserve to
be there.
Gracie :
I do deserve it.
Colasanti :
I don’t see it.
