(They both laughs)

(They walk into the basketball office)

Skills: So how are Haley and Jamie doing?

Lucas: Haley is a bit stressed since it's her first day as a teacher tomorrow, Jamie is happy and great as always

Skills: You know Luke, I and the boys will always be there if you need us

Lucas: I know Skills, I appreciate it a lot, well we all do… Actually if you got time tomorrow could Jamie come over for a couple of hours to your place? I want to take Haley out for dinner to celebrate her first day as a teacher

Skills: Sure, sounds cool. You guys deserve to go out and have some fun for a change

Lucas: Thanks Skills, now to basketball, you've seen any of these guys play before?

Skills: No not really, I just know they lost most of their games the last year

Lucas: Well that have to stop, we got a tough time ahead of us

Skills: Ohh yeah, they expect us to turn this around. You know that right?... This year!...

Lucas: Well we can do it and we will, after all we are the rivercourt boys

(They both laughs)
