Using Repartee

This is a story about a cheerleader, a panda, a bounty hunter, and a movie director.  This story takes place on a Friday night at the director's home.  They are eating pizza and taking turns playing chess.  This event happens right after they realize there is only one slice of pizza left.


Cheerleader:  "Uh Oh! There is only one slice of pizza left.  I guess I'll have it."

Bounty Hunter:  "You may want to leave the pizza alone...so you'll be able to cheer at the next game."

Cheerleader:  "So, you calling me fat?"

Panda:  "Um, excuse me, Ms. I'm-So-Perky, but you already had three slices.  You may want to back off!"

Movie Director:  "Excuse me guys, but I thought you all came to lose at some chess."

Cheerleader:  "So when did you learn to play chess?"

Movie Director:  "Ha Ha!"

Bounty Hunter:  "Hey, Ms. Shout-it-out, it's your move...Choose wisely."

Cheerleader:  "Ooh! I'll move this piece."

Panda:  "She plays well.  You just exposed your bishop!"

Cheerleader:  "I'm good, Huh?"

Bounty Hunter:  "Yeah, if you want to lose."

Cheerleader:  "Huh!"

Bounty Hunter:  "My turn.  I'll just take your bishop here."

Cheerleader:  "OK, then.  Checkmate!"

Everyone:  "Huh!!"

Cheerleader:  "I win.  I guess the last slice is mine.  See ya!"
Hope you enjoyed my use of repartee.
