Swim team members eat salads, don't smoke, and one takes part in an event that sounds like a cell phone
WILDCAT: Undecided? Why?
WILLIS: I think I want to do communications.
WILDCAT: What will you do with that?

WILLIS: I don't know. I kind of want to go to broadcasting, or something along those lines.
WILDCAT: Go into journalism, that's the best way to go for that stuff. OK, just out of curiosity, why the salads? I've been on this salad kick myself. I'm trying to lose some weight.
HACKETT: I don't know. They just looked good. They just looked really good after practice.
WILDCAT: What do you guys play?
HACKETT and WILLIS: We're on a swim team.
WILDCAT: So that's why your hair is all wet. I thought you guys just got done dancing or something. Or maybe I'm not staying up with the times on hairstyles or something. I'm all "Hmm, more gel." So is this your guys' ritual after practice? Getting the ol' Caesar salad? I mean, you feel like you need to be healthy after you exercise?
WILLIS: I don't know. I do eat a lot of salads though.
WILDCAT: Perhaps you're Greek? Wait, no, that's a Caesar. OK, never mind. So in swimming, do you have positions, like midi, half back, attack?
HACKETT: It depends on the event. I do the sprint free.
WILDCAT: Wow, that sounds like a cell phone!
HACKETT: No, sprint freestyle. There's the 50-yard free and the 100-yard free.
WILDCAT: OK, how bad is your smoking habit, both of you?
HACKETT AND WILLIS: Uh, we don't smoke.
WILDCAT: I'm just joking. Because I smoke like a chimney so for me, swimming or any extracurricular activity for more than 10 minutes, I'm dead. I used to be able to run two miles in 15 minutes. Now my lungs are all, "Take a break!"
