Large?

I want my money.

lf you want a chance

to hae any part of it, shithead,

you will take my bet

for $1 20,000 on tomorrow's game.

What about the money you owe me

from yesterday's game?

F*** yesterday's game!

The series is seen games, not six!

Put in my bet!

l'll think about it.

There's nothing to think about.

Either you put in my bet,

-ReaIIy?

-Yeah.

You bring your cash, I'II bring mine.

There we go.

lt's a beautiful ein.

All right.

ln it goes.

Vampires are lucky.

They can feed on others.

We got to eat away at ourseles.

We got to eat our legs

so we got the energy to walk.

We got to come so we can go.

We got to suck ourseles off.

We got to eat away at ourseles

till there's nothing left but appetite.

We gie and gie,

and gie crazy.

You hae to gie to make sense?

Ain't worth it.

Jesus said 70 times 7.

No one wiII ever understand why...

Why you did it.

They'II just forget about you tomorrow,

but you got to do it.

Hershiser Ieans in for the sign.

ase to the beIt. His pitch to BoniIIa.

BaII, outside.

rel Hershiser does not

have his good stuff.

He has struggIed the entire four innings.

Dwight Gooden leads off third.

Vince Coleman on first,

dancing back and forth,

trying to distract Hershiser,

who's having enough troubIe

concentrating on his pitches at this point.

Ease to the stretch.

Here's the 1-0 pitch to BoniIIa,

and BoniIIa rips it down the third base Iine.

It's roIIing toward the corner.

Gooden scores easily.

Now the baII's bouncing around

in the corner,

and Coleman is tearing around third.

He'll score.

BoniIIa around second, hoIds up,

goes back into second with a doubIe.

The Mets lead 5 to 0.

Five to 0, and you got to wonder

if the Dodgers can ever recover

from this deficit.

That should be it for Hershiser.

In fact, Tommy Lasorda's

coming out of the dugout right now.

Before he even reaches the mound,

he has motioned to the buIIpen,

and in, in reIief, comes Ramon Martinez.

Lasorda using every arm he has avaiIabIe

to try and win this series.

MeanwhiIe, the game competitor...

Listen to me, Sister.

Listen to me good.

The other cops will just put these guys

through the system.

They're jueniles.

They'll walk.

Get it?

But l'll beat the system and do justice.

Real justice.

For you.

l hae already forgien them.

Come on, lady.

These guys put out cigarette butts

on your...

Get with the program.

How could you...

How could you forgie these mother...

These... These guys? Excuse me.

How could you?

Deep down inside, don't you want them

to pay for what they did to you?

Don't you want this crime reenged?

l'e forgien them.

But...

Do you hae the right?

You're not the only woman in the world.

You're not een the only nun.

Your forgieness

will leae blood in its wake.

What if these guys do this to other nuns?

Other irgins?

Old women who'll die from the shock?

Do you hae the right

to let these boys go free?

Can you bear the burden, Sister?

Talk to Jesus.

Pray.

You do beliee in God, don't you?

That Jesus Christ died for your sins?

What?

You got something

that you want to say to me?

You f***.

You rat-f***er.

You rat-f***!

Here's your...

What?

Say something. l know.

You're just standing there.

What am l going to do?

You gotta say something!

Something!

You f***!

You f***ing stand there,

and you want me to do eery f***ing thing?

Where were you?

Where the f*** were you?

Where were you?

Where the hell were you?

l...

l'm sorry.

l'm so sorry!

l'm sorry!

l did so many bad things!

l'm sorry!

l tried to do...

l tried to do the right thing,

but l'm weak. l'm too f***ing weak!

l need you to help me.

Help me!

l need you to help me.

Forgie me.

Forgie me, please.

Forgie me, Father.

Quite a match-up here.

Ramon Martinez against Howard Johnson,

the power pitcher and the fastbaII hitter.

Vince Coleman is leading off third base.

Bobby BoniIIa off first.

HoJo has not had much

success against Martinez.

l stole it from my husband's shop

so's l could return it

to where it ought to be.

lt's a holy thing.

A holy thing.

-Which way is it?

-The boys right across the street there.

Julio and Paulo.

lt's a holy thing.

-A holy thing.

-Martinez chaIIenged HoJo

with his best, his fastbaII, and HoJo set...

Me, Iike everybody eIse, had high hopes

for the Dodger cIub.

There's a great deaI of taIent here,

but theyjust can't seem to keep it together.

Freeze.

Go ahead

and keep your hands in front of you.

Keep your hands out in front of you.

Get out of here.

Way back, it may go. Gone!

A home run for Mike Scioscia.

You, get out.

Well, Scioscia seemed to wait on the pitch,

drove it the other way.

Good piece of hitting

by the Dodger veteran.

And the remaining Dodger fans,

weII, they finaIIy have something

to cheer about.

The Dodgers must've been wondering

if they couId do anything right today.

Put them on.

Lock it.

-What's your name?

-Julio.

-What's your name?

-Paulo.

David Cone is on, in relief,

for the New York Mets.

Upside and high, baII one.

Sid Fernandez and Pete Schourek

are both getting ready in the buIIpen.

Cone knows, with this big lead,

he has to throw strikes.
