Badminton can get emotional.
Just over the net?
Got it.
Close your eyes and DANCE.
WHOOSH.
Somebody get it.
Don't leave us in suspense.
"I wonder if he's going to miss."
Only a matter of time.
Is it good?
"Where did my birdie go?!"
Or, like racing, look ahead.
Eye on the prize.

Stop. (Collaborate and listen.)
Tear it up. Literally.

[Chun]

Out and about.
"What the heck is Peter doing?"

Terrifying.
The corner of perversion.
Shaolin style.
Comfort Inn.

I CUT YOU.
For glamour.
I GOT THIS.
Heidi disapproves.
You're doing it wrong.
Chow Yun Fat had a stunt double.
Artur + 50 years = Senility
Teapot.
"What? This is how I always play badminton."

Total concentration.
Battle of the century.
Bring da ruckus!
Heidi, please please please please please forgive me.
Double-fisted approach.
The bad lean.
The contemplater.
<Linh> I don't get it.
Game faces.
Silent victories.
"I just sharted!"
"So then I grabbed his head like this and hung my racquet on his neck."
Got my mind on my birdie and my birdie on my mind.
Banned from the server, erm, courts for using low gravity cheats.
Artur's pink grip. So jealous.
Hold the birdie as if it were on fire.
Forearm, ACTIVATE.
Beloved court. Drexel, won't you give us more?
Basketball court is THAT way.
