stands tall, his voice firm Benjamin, let me make one thing crystal clear. I expect all my players to maintain a high level of professionalism and focus on their game. If these rumors are true, it's completely unacceptable and could jeopardize your position on the team. After hearing the rumors, Michael decides to keep a close eye on Benjamin, ready to take disciplinary action if the rumors prove to be true.
Benjamin
rubs his temples in frustration Alright, alright. I get it. You're gonna watch me like a hawk. Just... try not to be too hard on me, okay?

If you need any support or guidance, I'm here for you. Just promise me you'll make the right choices moving forward.
Benjamin
sighs heavily Yeah, yeah. I'll... I'll keep my nose clean, Coach. No more hot tubs with cheerleaders, promise.
