WILDCAT: And you're not a true Wildcat fan yet?

GUPTA: I'm not really into sports but, you know, I'm thinking.

WILDCAT: You're thinking? You've got to get going and start going WOOHOO! Go Wildcats! No?

GUPTA: Hmmm ·

WILDCAT: Come on! Well, are you a betting man? Have you bet on the game?

GUPTA: Ha ha ha ha, well, yes, I have.

WILDCAT: Well, I've got $20 on the game that we're going to win. Do you think I'll win it?

GUPTA: Hmm · I can't really say, but I don't think so.

WILDCAT: I hope not, I've got people to feed.

MAHER: I hope we win.

WILDCAT: Why?

MAHER: It's just being a Wildcat.

WILDCAT: See? There you go! He's got the school spirit. Why can't you have the school spirit?

GUPTA: Oh yeah.

WILDCAT: Come on now! Are there any sports you do like at UA?

GUPTA: Well, I know I can bet on basketball.

WILDCAT: What about football?

GUPTA: Uhhh ·

WILDCAT: Right, don't bet on football. So back to basketball. What are you going to do if they win, jump up and down, dance for joy, scream in the streets?

GUPTA: Hmm ·

WILDCAT: Come on! We can dance right now! So after all this, and they win on Saturday, will you finally watch the game?

GUPTA: I don't know.
