Peppermint Patty traces on the ground and says,"This is the play, Marcie.....you go straight out, cut left, cut back, go straight, cut back, go right and then out..."<BR><BR> She looks up and asks,"Have you got that?"

Marcie says,"Maybe I should throw the ball, sir, and you go out..."<BR><BR> They kneel on the ground again, with Peppermint Patty tracing the play in the ground. She says,"That's a good idea...I'll go out left, cut back, go right, cut left and then straight out...."

I'll go out left, cut back, go right, cut left and then straight out!" Marcie stoops and replies,"I have another idea, sir..."<BR><BR> She concludes as she walks off,"I'll go left, cut back, go straight, cut right, go back, cut left, and then go home for dinner!" Peppermint Patty sits on the ground saying,"I can't stand it..."<BR><BR>
