Ralph and Gary are talking about the basketball game they saw on TV last night:

Ralph: Did you watch the game last night?

Gary: I sure did. I wouldn’t have missed it for anything!

Ralph: I think it was one of the best games I’ve ever seen.

Gary: Me, too. I thought both teams played super ball.

Ralph: Too bad one had to lose.

Gary: Yeah, they were evenly matched. It could have gone either way!

Ralph: The shot that won in the last fifteen seconds was really something.

Gary: I agree with you there.
