Re: @needs native check
Rock, Paper, Scissors is a well known kids game (sometimes Scissors, Paper, Stone or other variants, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-paper-scissors ) As Rock beats Scissors, but Paper beats Rock, I assume the sentence means that both revealed, with one player changing to win.
As such, it's a bit confusing, but it's a perfectly acceptable conversation.

This should be changed, because people don't call 'foul' in this kind of game.
I suggest changing this to:
"Let's play scissors, paper, stone, OK?" "Stone." "Sciss... Paper!" "Cheat!"
