The coach gave me permission.

Well, I'm sure that his authority doesn't override the principals.
Lucas
Look, what do you want?
Casey
Walking closer just as Lucas is.
I want you to get out of here.
Lucas
Why can't we just share the court?
Casey
Well, the last time I checked a basketball game consisted of a full court.
Lucas
Okay. Fair enough. I guess you just need a lot more practice than I do, huh?
Casey
Smirks.
Okay. We're gonna play it the kid way huh? Well lets start with this. I was here first.
Lucas
So you're asking me to leave?
Casey
No… I'm telling you.
