Mueller

How do you know? Maybe they're looking for plays.

Novák

Mueller, nobody giggles at the neutral zone trap.

Hájek

Maybe it is a funny tactical book.

Novák

Maybe. With very educational diagrams.

Davis

I feel like Novák knows more than he's saying.

Novák

I know everything. And I say nothing. Good night.

Hájek

Good night ??

Mueller

Why the chicken?

Hájek

It is my emoji. I have chosen it.

Mueller

But why?

Hájek

Because the chicken is brave. It crosses the road. I am paying respect.

Davis

Don't question the chicken, Mueller.

Mueller

I am simply asking for the logic!

Novák

The lack of logic is the point. Go to sleep.

Davis

Night guys.
