Million Dollar Arm Page #6

You guys are gonna

come here from 9:00 to 1:00 every day

and work with Coach House

and the USC team, got it?

JB likes to hustle.

All right. Here we go.

Not bad, huh?

It's absolutely beautiful, JB sir.

Soak it in.

And now let's go. We're late. Let's go!

You must be the boys from India.

Welcome to America.

I'm Tom House. I'll be your coach.

This is my assistant, Doug.

Still working on their English.

Tell them,

I thought today we'd just run a few drills

and have some fun. What do you say?

The boys are gonna

blow you away, Tom, I promise.

What is this?

I think it's used to

keep our bowling hand warm.

Tell the boys the glove

is for catching the ball!

Okay, now,

you're just gonna toss it back and forth.

Just nice and easy. Nice and easy.

- Where have you been?

- Sorry, man.

The twins,

they've been puking all morning.

- How's it going here?

- Uh...

He's asking,

is it necessary to wear the gloves?

That's a first.

All right, tell him

half-speed. We're just warming up.

It's not about

throwing hard, it's about throwing right.

- Oh, oh, oh.

- It's all right. It's all right.

Tell him to relax. Tell him to smile.

Wow.

- We might have to tweak that a little bit.

- Hmm.

It was like they couldn't

even tie their shoes out there.

Thank God, Chang didn't see that.

All right, okay, look.

What do you think, Tom?

They did everything I asked 'em to do.

They didn't complain. They never quit.

They're good athletes.

And more importantly, their arms work.

Do you think

you can have them ready in six months?

Based on what I just saw,

probably not.

Spencer asked me to move in with him.

No way.

No way, Spencer.

Spencer is a funny name.

Hey, guys.

Are you guys

gonna take these or just stare at me?

Guys, come on. Guys, it's pizza.

All right, come on.

Are you from Mars or what?

That's a pizza. You eat it.

Sorry, brother.

Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you.

I've fallen in love with pizza.

We're screwed.

JB is going to pack our bags

and send us home.

Dinesh, don't worry so.

We can't master it in one day.

Don't you miss home?

I do miss it.

But now we are in America.

We can do anything here.

You can even change your name to...

Spencer.

I don't want to change my name.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the bathroom.

Don't worry, I'm not leaving you.

Oh!

- JB!

- Oh, crap.

- Okay, boys, knock 'em dead.

- Okay, JB sir.

- Bye, JB sir.

- That's good.

Keep working

on the English. I'll see you later.

He's not staying to watch us today?

I guess not.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I did. You didn't listen to me.

You were too busy bribing half of India.

- I didn't have a choice.

- Then guess what?

We're out of money, JB.

And not to mention that Chang has

been calling me all morning.

He wants a status update. What am I

supposed to do? Come clean?

No, no. Don't come clean.

- Never come clean.

- Seven Figures Management.

That's probably Chang right now.

Sure, um, hold on just one second.

JB, it's Popo.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

Hey. What's up?

Really?

Stay right there. I'm leaving right now.

Okay. Bye.

Pope's not happy with Procorp,

so he wants to talk to me about it.

So I'm gonna go talk to him,

and then I'll call you guys later.

Yes! Yes!

If you can get Popo, we're back!

- Yeah.

- Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!

Ow. Sorry.

Okay, tell me, single to left.

No, no, no, no. English.

Single to left. Come on.

Back third base.

- Back up third base. Good.

- Back up third base.

- I'm hungry.

- JB sir is coming soon.

Let's concentrate on work.

Tell me, single to left.

I'm tired, I'm hungry

and JB is late.

No, no, no, English.

- I'm hungry.

- Hold on. Hold on.

Hey, guys. Come on. Let's go.

I'm sorry I'm late. I had a meeting.

Let's go. Let's go.

So, we'll work with Popo

for couple of months

till he finds out we're the real deal.

And then we get the contract.

Yeah, hold on.

Guys, hustle up! Let's go!

We'll get pizza. Come on.

Let's go.

Pizza again? He's killing me.

I don't care. I like pizza.

Morning, Rinku. Morning, Dinesh.

Oh!

So today's my day off,

so that means I absolutely

have to clean my house.

Boring. Uh...

So what about you guys?

How's the baseball going?

- Is that music?

- Yeah. This is my iPod.

For when I run.

What kind of music do you guys like?

I... I like...

- Keith... Keith Urban.

- Keith...

- What?

- Keith Urban.

Keith Urban? Wow. I did not

expect you to say that.

I... I like Eminem.

Eminem is good, you know?

Eminem? That's literally

what I'm listening to now. Here.

- I can see?

- Yeah, yeah.

Ready?

So, come on, how's the baseball

going? it looks awesome.

- It's not good.

- Really?

Baseball is very hard.

JB sir don't like the way we play.

Why do you say that? Why?

He don't... He don't come to watch.

You see,

that's just 'cause he's a busy guy.

I don't think it's 'cause

he doesn't want to.

- Hey guys,

come on, let's go. We're gonna be late.

- Hi, Brenda.

- Hi. Have a good day.

Keith Urban. Hmm.

One of the kids, Manny,

called Rinku a name.

Dinesh didn't like it. So, he shoved

him. And they tussled a bit.

- What did he call him?

- That's not the point.

The point is, these boys aren't

gelling. They're struggling.

And if you were here more,

you'd see that.

Tom, I'd love to be here more.

Work has been crazy.

You know what I do.

Look, a big part of

this training is up here.

These kids, they need to be

in the right head space.

They need to feel supported.

They need to be having fun.

You understand that?

Yes, of course I do, Tom.

Yes, it makes sense. Thank you.

Yes, Rinku, the new phone is working.

Are you listening to Mr. Bernstein?

Yes, JB is a very nice man,

and he is taking good care of us.

Hey-

Okay, as soon as Rinku gets off the

phone, we're going out.

- We're gonna have some fun.

- Okay, JB sir.

Everyone is thinking of you.

We are all so excited.

I think of you a lot.

I miss you.

I have to go to work.

- Is this a hotel?

- No. This is your future.

And hopefully mine,

if things go well tonight.

Not bad, huh?

- JB! My man.

- There he is.

- How you feeling?

- Good.

Boys, this is Popo Vanuatu,

one of the greatest

linebackers in the NFL.

- What's up, dude?

- Food and drink is that way.

But I'm gonna steal my man

JB here and talk business.

Okay, yeah, cool.

Guys, just hang tight. I'll be right back.

Have fun. Have fun.

Hey, Popo.

What are the Procorp boys doing here?

It's a party, JB.

They came. Don't sweat that.

This is my special place, man.

Only for my nearest and dearest.

I'm honored, bro.

We have practice tomorrow.

Should we leave now?

I think I ate too much.

I told you not to!

You're eating cow, lamb, pig

and who knows what else.

I'm bored.

I eat when I'm bored.

Hello, brother!

This is a crazy party, man!

Let's enjoy it, man!

Let's do some noise! Like this!

And then my grandpapa

would just look at me,

and he had these
