Jenny Calendar:  I don’t know what it is about football that does it for me. I mean, it lacks the, the grace of basketball, the, uh, poetry of baseball. At its best it’s unadorned aggression. It’s such a rugged contest.

Giles:  Rugged. American football. (laughs)

Jenny Calendar:  And that’s funny because?

Giles:  No! I just think it’s rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Jenny Calendar:  Is this your normal strategy for a first date? Dissing my country’s national pastime?

Giles:  Did you just say ‘date’?

Jenny Calendar:  You noticed that, huh?
