Dealin' with Idiots Page #6
Way to go, Stevie!
Throwing smoke!
Throwing smoke!
Good arm!
Good... arm!
[gasps]
Max. Hi...
Umm...
- I hate to be nitpicky.
- Mmm-hmm.
Just wondering when
you're gonna have
that money ready?
We...
are just keeping
a running tab for you
and little Jackie!
- [chuckles]
- Mmm-hmm.
Uh, little Jackie took one
of my healthy muffins...
- He had one of the healthy muffins?
- I was so proud of him!
- Yes!
- Oh, okay.
They give you a lot
of energy.
But I will...
when I have some...
I don't have any
extra cash today.
- Okay.
- So I will...
Because they go
towards the team
and towards the
coach's gifts.
- I know... For everything.
- Okay.
By the way, I think
everyone should pay.
I'm with you.
- So I'm not against it.
- A few bucks?
But I will.
More than a few bucks.
I'm gonna throw in
a big 20.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- All right.
- All right.
Okay.
[whooshing sound]
[bat hitting ball]
When I played...
and you were coaching...
Mmm-hmm?
What were the
parents like?
Were they like these idiots?
I don't know.
I didn't know most of 'em.
You didn't know 'em?
No. How would I get
to know 'em?
They drop off their kids,
they, they leave.
They didn't even hang out?
No.
Why would they hang out?
Parents got things to do.
That's...
What's wrong with
you people?
That's what's wrong
with you people.
You're so involved.
You know? Playing catch
with your kids is good.
Showing up and saying,
"Hey, nice job!"
or you know, whatever.
That's good.
But all this involvement.
We just said what
whatever coach says.
You don't remember the
stuff your coach did?
And I was, like,
"whatever, it's the coach.
Whatever coach says. "
Okay. What if the coach
tells your kid
to keep his bat
on the shoulder
every time he goes
up to bat?
That's what the coach said!
See, that's my point.
We're in agreement.
Yeah, yeah.
We think alike.
I think just like you.
Do you know how often I,
like, do something
and I go, "That's what dad
would've done"?
Do you know how many
times I do that?
- All the time.
- Oh.
I learned a lot from you.
Well...
You're welcome.
Well, thank you.
Thank you big time.
Big time.
I just don't buy it,
I'm sorry.
I should have explained.
Now let me ask you guys
a question.
And I want you to take this
serious. Really consider it.
How much for you to go on
the field and run in a circle
around the whole field
during the game?
During the game,
while people are watching?
People are watching. Yep.
Why would you do that?
You'd be...
You'd be a jackass.
- How much money to be a jackass?
- Oh!
2500 bucks.
2500 bucks.
That makes it
just tempting.
Let's not get
Uncle Sam involved.
- Yeah.
- All right.
2500 cash, up front.
Sure... cash, my friend.
Yeah, how much
would you do it for?
- I wouldn't do it.
- What?!
- Stop it.
- I wouldn't do it.
$250,000.
- Give me another number.
- What?!
- A million dollars.
- Nope.
- Two million dollars.
- Nope.
Five million dollars.
It's not what I'm made of.
I'm just thinking
sometimes, if we were
to play in
one of these games,
how we would dominate.
Who, you and me?
Oh man, yeah.
It must be like how
McGwire felt playing,
standing up there.
[smattered applause and
distant chatter]
This is um, Hans.
This is Max.
Hi Hans!
[Austrian accent]
Nice meeting you.
You're the first Hans
I've ever met.
Really? Want some?
Oh I'll have a couple,
thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
We used to be roommates
together in Paris
when we went to
culinary school.
That was a great time,
wasn't it?
- Oh, how about that?
- That was fun.
- We had a really good time.
- Oh cool!
- Um... I gotta go...
- You and Hans.
Yeah, I-I...
I'm gonna be right back.
I gotta go to the loo.
Will you...
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine!
I'll be back in a second.
- Just... hold my spot, yeah?
- For sure.
She's going to the loo.
Which is normal to you.
To me, it's uh...
it's usually the bathroom or
the restroom.
Yeah.
So how long you
been here for?
Just arrived.
A couple days.
And your first time
in America?
First time America.
Wow! Wow, wow.
You enjoying it?
I love it. I just don't get
this sport here.
It looks fun and...
It's very confusing,
baseball,
for someone from...
where you from?
I'm Austrian.
Austria. Hans from Austria
would not understand
this right away.
I'm more soccer
and skiing, you know?
Soccer's more simple to
understand. You kick it.
You stop it.
You kick in a goal.
You count the goal.
It's easy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But here... What is this
guy, for example,
doing there? He's just
standing around
The ball to be hit to him,
maybe?
Yeah. So you've never...
You've never even seen a
baseball game?
First time.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
Hey! Hey!
[laughing]
Stranger on the field!
[laughing hysterically]
Stranger on the field! Hey!
How you doing?
Get him off!
Who are you?
I'm Hans.
Who are you?
I'm Jack.
Nice to meet you, Jack.
Max, who is that?!
I don't know!
Get outtta there!
Part of the game, coach?
No, it's not part of
the game!
It's gonna be
an automatic out.
Where's Hans?
Um... right there.
Bring it in!
Off the diamond, now!
- What's he doing out there?
- Hi, I'm Hans.
- That's it, let's go!
- Nice meeting you.
That's illegal, dude. What
you're doing is...
Great man.
Ooh, yeah!
See that?!
That's what happens
around here!
[mild applause and
distant chattering]
What are ya...
What are you writing?
What I'm writing in here,
you could not comprehend
in your brain of brains.
If I let you read this,
you would throw it down
on the ground
and run to
a mental institution
and check yourself in
and request...
[bat hitting ball]
a straightjacket.
You're very intense.
Throw it home!
Throw it home!
Steven, I swear to God,
get up right now!
Steven! Get up!
Throw it home!
- You know that's her son, right?
- Go! Go! Go!
and he should throw
the f***ing ball.
For a little kid,
he's a huge p*ssy.
Suck it up!
Suck it up!
Suck it up.
The compound, baby!
Right?
This is your compound?
The compound.
Gotta use the bathroom?
Use it now.
The porta-potty's
over there.
Port-a-potty?
By putting a port-a-potty
on my property,
people can't use
my bathroom.
on my toilet.
Shangri-la! You know?
Pool over there.
I sleep over there.
Ladies?!
Hi, Max Morris.
How are ya?
Jackie.
- How are you, Jackie?
- "The Chocolatier. "
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
I call her "Tipsy Jessica. "
- Tipsy Jessica?
- Careful. [laughs]
Um...
Jackie the Chocolatier?
- A real chocolatier?
- A real chocolatier.
You should do my podcast.
What's your podcast?
It's like sex... and science.
Like, together.
And we need to have
volunteers come,
and they have to, like,
take off their clothes...
But then, like,
we do a radio show...
But like, people don't know
that our clothes are off...
