It's My Turn Page #4

at darts too?

It's a dull game, darts.

Here's one.

Come on, let's play this one.

Baseball?

You'll love it.

I think you have

a distinct advantage.

What are you talking about?

It's a computer game.

You probably invented it.

All right, this is the batter.

I am the pitcher

and the outfielder, okay?

I'm gonna pitch--

You've played it before.

Couple times.

All right,

I'll give you the pitch

and you gotta hit it

with the bat.

Okay.

All right?

Okay.

Here comes the first one.

Outfield's moving in.

Okay.

The pitch is coming.

Yes, she's got it!

It's a big one!

Moving through the left,

he's back, he's got it,

she's going in for two!

[BEEPS]

Out!

That was close.

Out is not close.

Notice the synchronization.

They're going very well here,

all right?

I'm giving you

a curve ball this time.

Lewin's outfield

is moving in and over.

She's ready.

The pitch is coming.

[BOTH SHOUTING]

It's a double she's going!

Moving fast!

She's rounding second,

heading for third!

She's going for third!

She's going for third!

And she's out!

[BEEPS]

This is a dumb game!

What are you talking about?

You could win.

You're good at this.

Have you ever tried

to play darts?

It's a dull game.

[GROANS]

[GASPS]

One thing about this game,

you gotta be very kind

to your male opponent.

You're gonna get it this time.

You are gonna get it bad.

I'm ready.

None of this...

Oh, damn it!

Why are your clothes so dumb?

You're dumb.

I'm a ballplayer.

[SIGHS]

Come on, let's play.

I can win

this goddamn game.

[SQUEALS]

Let's go!

I like that action.

Come on!

Oh, I'm good at this game!

One last for the shot.

[GASPS]

That was lucky.

It's getting late.

What do you say

we have that one drink?

I think I could take you

at darts.

BEN:

You just gotta

choose the game, don't you?

That's a thread.

Oh.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Do you know Chicago?

Yeah, played

a few games there.

It's America's first city

of architecture.

Would you

like that drink?

No, I don't, uh--

No, I don't think

I really want that drink now.

No, no.

Maybe I'll have

that drink.

You know, uh,

I'll have a beer.

I think, yeah,

that would be good.

KATE:

Maybe there's one

in this weird refrigerator.

So it's, uh, you don't mind

if I make myself comfortable?

That's, uh, okay?

Grab a little bench.

Ah.

About four hours sleep

in the past 72,

those were all on the plane.

What's dumb

about my clothes?

Why are they so,

you know, complicated?

Why couldn't you have,

like, uh, a one color?

I know your favorite color.

Brown.

Green.

Green?

Green...

...makes me look yellow.

What about

black and white?

Black and white

and green?

Or green and black

or black and white?

Simpler.

Simple.

Oh.

"Happy families

are all alike." Tolstoy.

Yeah.

Boy, I know what it's like

to have two parents

who love each other

when you're growing up--

I don't.

You don't what?

I don't know what it's like.

My, uh--

My father was really

a true grotesque.

He gave my mother

a really bad time.

My father won't.

Oh, he's the dearest

man in the world.

My mother called me to tell me

she was getting married.

She said,

"I want you to know

I'll always

love you the best."

Now, I think that's kind of

a weird thing to tell your son

before you're gonna married.

[LAUGHS]

How'd you get that?

Stealing a homer

from Reggie Johnson?

No, no.

Jackson.

Your parents were really good

together, weren't they?

Yeah.

You just had to

see them together,

you know, they...

Oh...

My mother would take me

shopping, you know,

sometimes on Saturday.

We'd go to Best & Co.

or something,

and she'd just stop in a phone

booth and she'd call him.

She just would say hi.

Yeah.

You should have seen it.

Where'd you get that?

What?

Oh, that's...

[MUTTERS AND CLEARS THROAT]

I made an unassisted

triple play.

For an outfielder, that calls

for an extremely long stretch.

Mm.

What about that one?

Over the eye?

Yeah.

Well, I, uh, originated

the headfirst slide.

Pete Rose likes to

take credit for it.

But, uh...

What happened

to your shoulder?

My shoulder?

Mm.

Um...

Pitcher got pulled off

the mound.

[CLEARS THROAT]

The catcher, he broke his leg.

So I'm sitting

out in left field,

and I gotta come all the way in

and cover home plate.

Oh.

And that's when

Babe Ruth spiked me.

Do you have

lots of injuries?

Well, I had

a little tendonitis,

and, uh, a broken nose

last season.

I was the healthiest guy

on the team.

Are--

Are you a little uptight?

How many people in this bed?

What?

Freud said there that

are at least four people

in every relationship.

How many people do you

think there are here?

Are you shitting me?

No.

There's five.

Six.

Your father, my mother,

my father, your mother...

Oh.

Eight.

No, seven.

Boyfriend, married guy,

you and me is seven.

Your wife.

Hannah?

Eight.

Eight.

Have you ever, uh, been to bed

with a stranger before?

No.

Could you think of me

like a brother?

Don't tell anyone

you were here, okay?

All right, I won't, no.

It's okay.

I miss my mother.

You miss your mother?

Mm-hm.

[LAUGHS]

Are you always this nice?

Only if the lady likes me.

I don't like you.

You like this?

No.

I hate it.

Hate it.

I hate it.

[]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, man...

[LAUGHS]

Oh, God.

Whoo!

I don't believe this.

Oh, thanks.

I just

don't believe this.

So, what have we got here?

Homer?

Is that what we got?

I'm really not sure.

I don't know.

What do you mean

you're not sure?

No signature.

Well, there's a card,

isn't there?

Yeah.

But it's in the florist's

handwriting.

What does it say?

Maybe they're

from my father.

"Miss you tonight."

Well, we know daddy ain't

missing you tonight, don't we?

Oh!

Mm.

Let me get something

for you.

Wait a second.

Oh.

No, no, Jesus!

Why? That's my shirt.

You mind--?

Tough titty! God!

I'll buy you a new one.

Yeah?

Why don't

you try washing it?

Do you like women

to do your washing?

Is that how you

get your kicks?

How do you get yours, honey?

That's what I'd like to know.

Do you think that your, um,

scars are some

kind of a turn-on?

Honey, I don't know

what turns you on.

I'm sorry if I, um,

I gave you more trouble

than the groupies

that you must be used to.

[LAUGHS]

I don't know

what right you have--

I got no right at all.

I'm sorry, I just--

I-I don't believe you.

Yeah, you said a bunch of things

that you know nothing about,

just-- I don't know

what I'm doing.

You don't know

what you're doing.

My life is, uh...

Your life?

It's complicated.

My wife and I, you know, it's--

It's not good.

You know, this, uh...job.

You start talking

about your family...

I think it's a trap.

Well, I never had anything

like that.

It's been, uh...

What?

What's it been?

Tough titty?

[LAUGHS]

I think your mother

is a lovely person.

[]

[BEN SIGHS]

What do you say, Kate?

I think, uh,

maybe call it a night,

huh?

Okay.

Okay.

It's been nice
