Please hold.

Decker Sports Agency.

Deano!

Good job in New York.

Sign 'em and dine 'em, baby!

Stevie, give me a sec.

Heading to my office now.

Hey, Rob.

Not now, mike.

How's the Boston deal?

Closed it.

Yes, love it!

Money in the bank!

Good morning, Rob.

Good morning, Mr. Decker.

Peter, hook it up in a few?

You got it, buddy.

Beautiful.

Stevie.

No, no, no, no, no.

I did not say that.

No, I would never say that.

Of course, I'll run it by him.

I'm his agent.

That's my job.

Well, if we don't talk tonight,

I'm sure you'll wake me up

tomorrow with a real offer.

Yeah, that's funny.

- What?

- Schedule.

You have a 9:
00 a.m.

Conference call,

lunch downstairs,

and your mother called.

You do remember

your mother, don't you?

Hold on.

Do you want to call her back?

Not now.

How old is your mother, Rob?

75-76, I think.

Well, then, by all means,

take your time getting back to her!

Claire, time is money.

Mom ain't makin' us money today.

Next and talk faster.

You have a haircut.

Eighth of an inch. When?

45 minutes ago, but your

midnight text told me that

you wanted to see Peter

first thing this morning.

I do.

I actually just saw

Peter in the hallway.

He should be walking in

right about now.

Peter!

Yeah?

How are the kids?

Well, they're great, thanks.

Ask me how my kids are.

My clients are my kids.

Only better.

They make me money.

This is the next

Decker Sports superstar.

Shawn Hart?

I don't...

I don't think he's going pro.

Why not?

Why not, Peter?

Well, he just signed

with Stetson University.

That's a darned good program.

No, he did not!

He did not sign!

He committed.

He verbally committed to Stetson.

He's not going pro yet, because

no one has convinced him to.

- I know, but what I think...

- Peter, there'd better be a way.

You've always been my go to guy.

You can get it done.

Now, I've cleared your schedule.

Leave today.

It's a three hour drive.

Do not come home until you sign him.

I'm sorry. I can't.

There's confidence!

You're saying you can't sign him?

No, I'm saying

I can't go out of town!

My kid's got his first

baseball game.

You're kidding, right?

No, I'm not kidding.

Look, Rob, I work really hard,

and there's more to life than work.

Really?

Really.

Look, Rob, I've seen a lot of young guns

burn out real fast in this business.

They backstab each other

right out of a job,

and that's because the only

thing they have is their career.

Now, I've stayed at the top

of my game in this business,

because my clients know

that I value God, my family,

and I value them.

Rob, there's some things

you just don't get back in life,

and I'm not missing

my kid's ball game.

There are definitely things in life

you don't get back, like your job.

Are you firing me?

- You're firing me?

- He's not firing anybody.

Get on out of here.

Rob Decker, you and I

need to have a talk.

About what?

About Shawn Hart.

You go sign the kid.

Yeah, you.

It's been a while since

you've been out in the real world.

Let's see if you've still got it.

And you might think about

your priorities along the way.

My priorities?

Yes, your priorities.

If you'd just stop long

enough to notice,

you'd realize that Peter is right.

Oh, Peter has gotten old and soft.

You are 35 years old, Rob.

Take a look around, honey.

There's a lot more

to life than this.

You know what, Claire, darling?

I think I will go sign

this kid myself,

because this is my life,

and I don't need more than this.

In your light is where

I'll find who I am

No more sadness

No more running from your plan

All I need is your sweet love

'Cause you cleanse me deep within

All I ever want is you

'Cause you are mine,

and I am yours

Your love is all I could

ever hope for

Just one touch

And I will never be the same

Never be the same again

Onstar, how far

is the nearest gas station?

Only one gas station

in the immediate area.

Phil's gas station,

ten miles ahead.

Great.

Your love is all

I could ever hope for

Just one touch, and I

will never be the same

Never be the same again

Turn right on Junk Yard Road.

Hey!

Hey!

Do you fix cars?

Sorry?

- Do you fix cars?

- No.

You don't fix cars here?

Well, I can't say that I do.

Well, does he?

No, he definitely

don't fix cars,

but he plays a mean flattop.

I'm just looking at all the signs.

Does anyone here fix cars?

Phil!

We drummed up some

business for you.

Can you fix my car?

What's wrong with it?

Well, it's smoking.

Let's see.

The engine in these is in the rear.

Don't worry. Once he finds

the engine, he can usually fix it.

Can you leave it with me?

It's smoking.

I have to leave it with you.

Which way to town?

Can I rent a car?

You don't need one.

You just walk 15 minutes

in either direction,

and, well, you're out of town.

Good afternoon.

I'm Steve.

I'm the pastor here at the church.

Rob Decker.

Hey, Rob Decker,

nice to meet you.

So, are you lost or hungry?

Well, a little of both, I think.

I could smell it a mile away.

Well, you've definitely

come to the right place.

Welcome to Middletown.

This is small town USA.

We are complete

with your hot dogs,

your apple pie, and we're

known best for our baseball.

Oh, that's what I've heard.

I also hear you've got quite

the ballplayer in Shawn Hart.

Oh, yeah, Shawn is a great player,

but even more, he's a great young man.

We're really proud of

him here in Middletown.

He's heading off to

Stetson University.

He's going to play for Pete Dunn.

Is that so?

Come on, right on,

can't do it again, baby!

Come on, Shawn, do it again!

Best pitcher of all time, Nolan Ryan.

Not a chance!

Greg Maddux, the professor.

He could put the ball

anywhere he wanted.

The Ryan Express threw faster than

anyone, seven no hitters.

Mad Dog, four straight CY Young's,

18 gold gloves,

plus he was cute.

Coffee, Mr. Johnson?

Is it decaf?

This is decaf.

I have to have decaf.

I can't take that regular stuff.

I only put decaf in the orange pot.

You know,

I went into the city once,

and a guy told me, he said that

in the orange pot was hazelnut.

Hazelnut?

Well, I don't make hazelnut coffee

here, Mr. Johnson.

I only put decaf in the orange pot.

- I'll take decaf.

- All right.

What's good around here?

Fried chicken, potato salad,

you name it.

It's all good.

Daisy's being modest.

The best thing around

here are the pies.

She makes the best pies around.

We have apple or lemon.

Tough choice.

Well, like I say, when you have a choice

like that, take one of each.

Some offers in life,

you just can't refuse.

Come on, dragon!

No more, you're done.

Give the ball to anyone else.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

That's not still in the deal.

Stop right there!

Freeze!

Okay, now I'm ready.

My name is Maggie.

- Can I help you?

- Checking in.

What's the name?

Decker, Rob Decker.

- And you have a reservation?

- Yes.

- Could it be under a different name?

- No.

And you're sure you called
