Yi-jun:That's good to know. We'll watch for crazy drivers.
Holly: [Walking over] Hey, guys. Ready for a pick-up game of touch football?
Yi-jun:Football? Sounds dangerous. Maybe I'll just be a cheerleader.
Holly: C'mon, Yi-jun. It's lots of fun. You've seen football played on TV.
Yi-jun:Uh, yeah. And I've seen guys in pads tackled. We have no pads. I don't want to be tackled.
