wooed

The first half of the film is almost all getting-to-know-you conversations between these estranged relatives, the best of which involves an extended flashback to how Rocco wooed Marina.

With the San Diego Padres, or Toronto Blue Jays, or any other club that wooed Sasaki this offseason, that might not have been the case.

Without a contour line out of place and a perfected walk in stilettos, she wooed the judges with her bold, glitzy and saucy looks.

Then, the Yankees wangled and wooed it away from the Spanish and Mexicans.
