Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, yes, yes, I finally get to play volleyball.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's volleyball, Umi.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, that's what I said, But I don't understand one thing.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Baseball has bases, basketball has baskets, football has feet. But
if this is volleyball, where are the volleys? And what
exactly is a volley?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Omi, keep your voice down, earth things aren't used to
voices just coming out of nowhere. Ollie and I can
talk normally, but if you get too loud, people are
gonna get scared.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Ah, you earthlings startles so easily. Fine.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I will try to be more quiet, But you did
not answer my question. What is a volley? Please tell
me it's like a hot dog.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Volley is what you do with the volleyball? Umi?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Watch what's about to happen on the court. See that
girl holding the ball. She's about to throw it in
the air and hit it to the other side. When
she does, the other team has to bully the ball
back to the team that hit it first.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
They have three chances to get it back over the net.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
And both of these teams are pretty good. The one
on the left is our high school team.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Let's watch.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Nice play. The team that served the ball gets a point.
Because the other team wasn't able to hit the ball
back over.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The net, they served the ball. That doesn't make any.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Ooh, looks like the other team has called a time out.
This is your chance. Umi, Come on, we've got a hurry.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But how are we gonna get him in the game. Look,
one of the players just ran off to the locker room.
Looks like his knee pat is messed up. I bet
he's getting another one.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Umi. Think you can change into him and give him
a little nap.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yep, I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Umi. Is that you did? You do it?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yes, it's me and I am ready to volley the ball.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Darryl, where have you been?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
No way, it took you five minutes just to grab
a new knee pad.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Hurry up and get back in there. Omi, I think
you're Darryl.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Oh, yes, I am ready, coach.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Is it just me or does it feel like we're
really starting to push our luck? It's definitely not just you.
I can't believe we haven't already been caught.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Darryl. You good?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I'm not really sure yet. I think I'll be good,
but this is my first time. I mean, of course
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Right. You might want to stand over there. That girl
serving has been hitting it to your spot all day,
so be ready.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Oh great, you've got this, Sumi. Just use your arms
and bump the ball up into the air. But it
comes to you.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's going right to him.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Bend your legs, straighten your arms out in front.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Now bump it.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh man, oh man, oh man, ohman, oh my man.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Here we go here, I'm ready to serve someone.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Did he just.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Pull a hot dog out of his pocket?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yep, that's exactly what he did. Oomie, you're not serving food.
Throw the ball up in the air and hit it
over to the other team. That's called a serve.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Darryl, Have you lost your mind? Where did you get
a hot dog?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Sorry? I just need a little snack before I serve. No, yeah, okay,
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
He just ate that hot dog in two bites. Ooh, oomy,
look out, they're gonna hit it back to you. Ooh
ow right on the nose. That has to hurt good easy, Daryl,
just sit down. You are right good.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
He'll know.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I'm confused. Why do I see stars? Have I still
got earth?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Whoa?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
That ball rang his chimes pretty good? I think you
better come out of the game, Darryl.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
What, no, coach, you can't take me out. I gotta play.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I don't know. You're not acting right, and you really
don't sound right.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Oh uh, that's just because I got hit with the ball. No,
I'm flying, coach. Really listen to how normal I sound?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
All right, Darryl, if you say so, Come on, everyone,
let's let him be.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
He's good to go. Ref rotate over here, right here?

Speaker 5 (05:07):
They're served, Daryl, Come on, only a few more points
than we win.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Man, my nose hurts. Somebody should have warned me that
could happen. I really hope I don't ever get hit
like that.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Oh oh oh, okay, that one made my nose hurt?
Are you? I think we better get him out of here, Darryl,
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You weren't even paying attention.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Sorry, mob, I really I'm trying to do better if
they attention to school. But miss Flarpi Cole's soape sometimes.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Oh okay, I think.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
That's enough for Darryl Whitney go check in.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You're taking his place.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Come on, Darryl, let's get you back to the locker
room so you can lie down.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I don't remember getting hit with the ball the second time.
