Charlie says, "This is disgusting!"<BR><BR> Lucy asks, "Which way is the wind blowing?"<BR><BR> Lucy prepares to kick again. She screams, "Here it comes! Stand back!! Look out!"<BR><BR> Again, she tries and misses. Charlie tells Schroeder, "I can't stand it!"<BR><BR> Charlie screams at Lucy, "You're hopeless! That was the worst kick I've ever seen!" Lucy replies, "Well, after all.. I'm just a little girl, you know.."<BR><BR> Charlie shouts, "Little girls don't belong on football field! Go on home!" Lucy says, "I don't understand.. I was the star fullback in nursery school.."<BR><BR> Charlie yells, "Well, don't stand around here! Go on home! Get out of here!"<BR><BR> After Lucy leaves, Charlie comments to Schroeder, "You know what?" Schroeder asks, "What?"<BR><BR> Charlie says, "You should have told me that was her ball!"<BR><BR>
