(CLOSE INTIMATE TONE)

TR: This looks nice with a big wave in front.

TK: Can you make it flip more?

TR: You want it to go up and down and then up again?

TK: Yeah. Try that.

GK: In the old days, men had to conceal their fascination with hair by pretending to slide big rocks on the ice (GRUNT, HEAVE, SLIDE) but now this is a hobby that dares to speak its name.

TR: I could do corn rows.

TK: Naw. Takes too long.

GK: The St. Paul Curling Club.
