[stammering] Would you just
mind to let Ava sit here?
I'm sorry.
Come on, please.
Oh, thanks.
- Oh, hey.
- Umm...
Sorry I didn't bring you
a water.
- Hey Harold?
- I'm fine.
You know what, I need to
talk to Ava just
for a minute or two.
I'll, I'll, uh...
Okay.
I'll, I'll, but I'll come sit down in
a little while, later in the game.
It's nothing, It's nothing.
It's good.
We'll talk comedy later.
Oh, geez. He means well.
- I know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ah, pitcher, I know where
your family lives!
Stop brushing my boy
back!
And how about some
more balls?
[umpire] Time!
That's a warning.
Warning? I'm a grown-up.
I'm not in school.
I don't care, ass-dick.
[umpire] You're gone!
I'm gone!
Hey everyone, I'm gone!
Come on man, come on!
What are you doing
to me right now?!
- It's his fault!
- You're killing me right now!
Hey! That's your dad?!
That's your dad right there?!
Whoa, whoa. Lets not make this
any messier than it already is.
Your dad's a jerk!
Your dad's a jerk!
I'm nobody you need to
mess with right now, okay?
Do you ever have
a kid here?
Hey, touch me, I sue you,
okay?
Hey, let's not make this
messy in front of the kids.

- Okay, let's go.
Who are you?!
Go away!
That's my son!
I'll be in the car Barneby!
Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!
[sighs]
- Bye-bye.
- Don't touch me.
You're outta here.
Whoa. Why would
someone behave that way?
[stammering] This is
an adult. An adult.
- So sad.
- Seriously.
- Sad.
- It's sad. It is sad.
And it's confusing. W-What
is his private life like?
What are their
private lives like
that make them act
like this?
What are they missing
in their lives
that make them act
like idiots?
Unbelievable.
Seriously unbelievable.
In front of the kids.
[indiscernible whispering]
All right, let's hear some
chatter! Come on!
Let's get it up!
Let's get it up!
Don't say, "let's get it up. "
Let's get it up.
[distant chatter
and clapping]
They're, they're a bit
touchy. They're kinda nuts.
Wow, they're crazy.
I mean, everything offends
them. So, everything!
I mean, what is wrong with
these people?!
What is wrong with these
people?
[yelling] What is wrong
with these people?!
These people, right there!
Take this.
- Where are you going?
- I'll be right back?
I gotta go talk to a man
about a horse. I'll be back.
Are we waiting for you?
Wait for me!
Commissioner Gordon.
No talking to the commissioner
before scores are official.
Okay? I'm gonna need you
to step over here.
Right there.
All right.
You don't have to keep your
eye on me, I'm not going to...
I know, I don't.
Forest, you can trust me.
You can go to the other
side and I'll wait here.
It's okay, Max.
[laughing incredulously]
Forest, I'm telling you...
Okay.
You can keep telling me.
All right.
I don't work for you.
Is that a quadruple
rainbow? [chuckles]
A quadruple rainbow? I've
never seen one of those!
quadruple...?!
The way..
Wait, that's impossible!
Pots of gold?!
Really? Pots of gold?
Pots of gold.
You're a comedian.
I am a comedian.
- Really?
- Yeah.
So you're not
that popular then.
I'm really into comedians
you're a comedian, if
you're a popular one.
No, I'm a popular
comedian.
Not in the top 100.
Tell you what, not only am
I in the top 100,
I'm probably top 20.
Top 20?
Top 20.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
All right.
How many Twitter
followers do you have?
About 100,000.
No, that's not top 20.
Score's official.
[yelling] Score's official!
Score's official.
Thank you, Forrest.
Thank you.
Max.
Hello Commissioner
Gordon.
I would never think of calling
you Steve, Commissioner... Gordon.
Commissioner Gordon...
[laughing hysterically]
If you see the Riddler or
the [raising voice]
Catwoman, you and Chief
O'Hara should...
It's just something I love
doing. Anyhow, uh...
I've decided that my next
movie... hopefully...
There's a lot of steps
involved in this.
research.
And the research I'm
doing, I'm gonna be talking
to, uh, parents, uh,
coaches, and uh...
everybody involved with
my kids baseball team.
Like a documentary on the,
the uh... the benefits of
SFV-LA baseball for, for
young children...
Documentaries are big
right now.
No, it's, it's a comedy.
A comedy.
Like a "how to" video for
parents if they wanna get
their kids into SFV-LA
baseball?
And the benefits of
learning how to be a
team member, and the
fundamentals of,
becoming a responsible
citizen and a good adult.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that would be good.
You know... a little change
of the subject here.
Your nanny is so
ridiculously beautiful.
I don't even know how
you... wow!
Well, Angela's the charge
of my, my son, Bennett.
There's nothing sexual
about her.
Oh, there's something very
sexual about her. Yeah...
Sorry I brought that up.
Okay.
All right, see you guys
later.
Okay, just stay off the
field, though. Please...
I'm not going back on, I
know 'cause you water it...
We water it and then we do
the chalk.
Stay off the diamond, Max.
I'm not going on the
diamond.
I don't think that's such a
great idea.
It'll be fun to spend time
with the crazy parents.
I don't know about that,
dad.
I... that's exactly what I
was just gonna say.
I... listen, I would not opt
to be with these people
on purpose, you know...
Well, you know, it's part,
it's the hard part
of my job. It's the
research.
It's the down-and-dirtiness
of comedy,
is figuring out what you're
gonna write about.
Sometimes grownups get
really weird.
Grownups always get
weird. Always.
Not sometimes.
They're just weird.
Just think, "people are
weird. " They're weird.
What if I told you
another little secret?
She's a bit weird.
I'm a bit weird!
You have weird parents.
You're not weird yet.
I don't want you to think
that all grownups are insane.
Well actually,
they are all insane.
Don't trust anybody over
the age of, of...
No, actually, ten.
Ten. Don't trust a 13-year-
old, they're too worldly.
'Cause they all have their
own phones and...
That's when it all breaks
loose.
By the way, we're not
doing that with him.
No, we're not doing that
with you.
You know that, right?
Yeah, you have friends now
who have phones, don't you?
Yeah, I know.
That's a bunch of crap.
Not gonna happen.
Max, I'm not sure about
spending more time than
is necessary with
that crowd.
You know, I don't have to
spend that much time
with them. Just a... few
hours.
What?
Nightmare.
I'd be happy to help.
I have a lot of
ideas for movies.
Okay, it's not... I just
wanna talk and get to...
I wanna get to know
the parents...
Here's my thing.
Here's my thing.
- Yeah?
- As long as it's educational
and instructive
for the kids...
The kids learn...
'cause kids are sponges.
