So before you start thinking of play as just not serious, play doesn't mean frivolous.

We were watching the child at play.

We watched the children play.

Listen carefully, and don't try anything funny.

Always playing such dirty tricks?

Listen, young fella. The picnic is over.

Look, you stupid fool. We've been stooges. Morano's kicked us around.

Anyway, here I was progressing with my new clubs.

And don't you forget it.

And listen... no guns, no cops, no tricks.

Oh, when I was buying the clubs, somehow the young juggler was hiding from the others.

Let's play him a little.

Listen, Haley, those guys bellied with pure No shoves at my expense.

Babies play, kids play, adults play.

Look, monk, you turn him loose or I'll jerk a knot in your tail We give up!

Every time he held me, spoke to me, danced with me, ate, drank, played, sang...

Spectator play, ritual play we're involved in some of that.

They are also able to play they are really playing.

We're gonna fool the ol' mad lady.

Hornblower fooled them and me too.

The players slowly explore the environment, and begin again to test things out.

Don't lie to me!

Oh, holding out on me, huh?

So what beat me? Character.

And it's not just kids, it's adults too.

Joe, you can't hold out on me.

I said play, all right.

Bears play.

Don't pull my leg!

Don't mess me around!

Don't fool with me.

Don't try any funny stuff.

Hey, he's cheating!

Don't kid me!

You kidding me?
