Coach: Diane, what you've written here is beautiful, but you know what it could use? A little bit more about T-Bone himself.
Diane: OK. Tell me about him.
Coach: Well, in his playing days, he was a good hitter.
Diane: Uh-huh. His prowess at the plate was legendary.
Coach: He was a fair hitter, Diane. Fair. For the minors.
Diane: He was a capable batsman.
Coach: Well, all those hits he got were a lot of scratch and field hits.
Diane: His best moments were off the field.
Coach: Now, that's the idea. For instance, he always made the guys laugh.
Diane: He was loved for his irrepressible sense of humor.
Coach: He was always making fun of people.
Diane: We admired his sardonic wit.
Coach: I've seen him ride guys till they were reduced to tears.
Diane: He was a hateful and terrible person. Why don't you just stick with what I had?
Coach: Oh, you're right, honey. I'd better go practice.
