"Oh, really? Why is that?" asked Kay Lee.
"This is my first Copa America but I managed to score 10 goals? How can I believe that", said Harry.

"Very confident, aren't you?" asked Kay Lee.
"Of course I am. I have great teammates, coaches and supporters especially one of them is my sister that come here far away from Scotland just to watch me play. If I play badly, it's an insult to everybody especially on you", said Harry.
"What a good person you are. No wonder your sister loves you so much", said Kay Lee.
"Yeah, right. Whatever, Kay", said Harry.
