Crossing a bridge…
Vivian: This reminds me of when I was a kid. My friends and I used to play Poohsticks on bridges like this.
Morgan: Poohsticks?
Vivian: A game from Winnie the Pooh. You drop sticks on one side of the bridge and see whose stick comes out first on the other side.
Morgan: Sounds... thrilling.
Vivian: It's more fun than it sounds. How about we try it? I'll bet you a dollar my stick will win.
Morgan: OK. I still don't get how this is can be fun.
Vivian: You'll see. Drop sticks… NOW.
Morgan: There! Is that mine?
Vivian: Looks like it.
Morgan: Pay up!
Vivian: OK, you win this one. A rematch.

Voice-over
In the original story, Poohsticks was played by Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, Tigger, and Eeyore. Pooh accidentally dropped a pine cone into the river, and after seeing it appear on the other side of the bridge, he came up with the idea for the game (Wikipedia).
