912

01:
14:44,263 -- 01:14:47,391

that engulfed the new

Veterans Field press box last night."

913

01:
14:47,476 -- 01:14:53,023

Thank you. Congratulations, your

humiliation of this family is complete.

914

01:
14:54,024 -- 01:14:55,984

We had nothing to do

with starting that fire.

915

01:
14:56,151 -- 01:14:59,821

You were there.

It's all part of this goddamn situation.

916

01:
15:00,198 -- 01:15:05,745

This kid is going to end up back here

cutting grass with his old man guaranteed!

917

01:
15:06,286 -- 01:15:08,789

Who are you to judge

what he does with his life?

918

01:
15:08,872 -- 01:15:11,708

Ryan is going to do whatever it takes

to make it in baseball!

919

01:
15:12,251 -- 01:15:14,128

Fine, go with him.

Go with him, then.

920

01:
15:18,675 -- 01:15:21,135

He doesn't want me to go

with him!

921

01:
15:23,638 -- 01:15:27,141

I'm going to San Francisco

to work for Uncle Richard.

922

01:
15:29,144 -- 01:15:32,690

Aren't you happy, Dad?

You win, okay?

923

01:
15:39,154 -- 01:15:41,240

Why stop with the press box?

924

01:
15:41,699 -- 01:15:45,119

If you're going to start fires,

why don't you burn down Main Street?

925

01:
15:47,496 -- 01:15:50,124

The League commissioner

wanted to call this game off.

926

01:
15:50,249 -- 01:15:53,377

I had to convince her

that to penalize the rest of the team...

927

01:
15:53,460 -- 01:15:57,047

for the stupidity of a couple

of knuckleheads would be unfair.

928

01:
15:58,466 -- 01:16:02,137

But Robin and Van Leemer,

they're ghosts.

929

01:
16:02,136 -- 01:16:03,095

Ghosts!

930

01:
16:04,263 -- 01:16:06,974

I packed their asses on the bus

this morning.

931

01:
16:07,141 -- 01:16:10,477

Which means we finish the regular season

and go into the playoffs...

932

01:
16:10,603 -- 01:16:14,441

without our number one pitcher

and our starting shortstop.

933

01:
16:14,691 -- 01:16:17,569

Look at me when I'm talking to you,

goddamn it!

934

01:
16:21,614 -- 01:16:25,243

Tomorrow at 4:
00 p.m.

Dunne...

935

01:
16:27,246 -- 01:16:31,417

you've got the freshest arm.

You get to start tomorrow.

936

01:
16:32,167 -- 01:16:35,879

Now get the hell out of my sight,

I'm sick of looking at you. Move.

937

01:
16:55,609 -- 01:16:58,362

Sean, I thought I asked you

not to park in the driveway?

938

01:
16:58,445 -- 01:17:00,697

I just came by to give you a final bill.

939

01:
17:01,197 -- 01:17:05,284

A final bill? What about the fall?

We've got leaves and...

940

01:
17:05,409 -- 01:17:08,287

John Kroft's crew does good work.

I'll put him in touch.

941

01:
17:08,747 -- 01:17:11,708

Now wait a minute. Sean.

What are you doing?

942

01:
17:16,630 -- 01:17:19,007

My boy told me what you said.

943

01:
17:20,258 -- 01:17:23,637

Pride isn't exclusive to you people

on Shore Road, Mr. Parrish.

944

01:
17:24,597 -- 01:17:25,890

Good day.

945

01:
17:33,397 -- 01:17:34,398

Sh*t.

946

01:
17:38,361 -- 01:17:39,570

Come in.

947

01:
17:46,244 -- 01:17:47,787

I've been waiting for you.

948

01:
17:48,497 -- 01:17:50,249

Come on in. Sit down.

949

01:
17:52,375 -- 01:17:55,169

Come on, don't be bashful.

950

01:
18:04,805 -- 01:18:06,598

Let's talk.

951

01:
18:08,267 -- 01:18:14,148

Baseball is a game

full of legends and lore.

952

01:
18:16,108 -- 01:18:19,361

I'm just another baseball legend,

Domo.

953

01:
18:25,076 -- 01:18:27,912

I know you've heard

some stories about me.

954

01:
18:28,078 -- 01:18:29,830

Some of them are true.

955

01:
18:34,169 -- 01:18:36,463

You can tell your own stories.

956

01:
18:36,463 -- 01:18:38,882

But I can help you

with your baseball career.

957

01:
18:42,344 -- 01:18:44,721

I'm real good with ball players.

958

01:
18:47,599 -- 01:18:48,850

Really?

959

01:
18:52,188 -- 01:18:54,190

See the basket at the end

of the bed?

960

01:
18:56,609 -- 01:18:57,401

Yes.

961

01:
18:58,443 -- 01:19:00,111

Hand me the cucumber.

962

01:
19:05,826 -- 01:19:08,037

Domo! Domo! Domo!

963

01:
19:15,045 -- 01:19:16,880

- It was gone.

- The whole thing?

964

01:
19:17,672 -- 01:19:19,215

No way. An entire

cucumber?

965

01:
19:20,007 -- 01:19:22,843

I swear, it was like

Guinness Book of Records type stuff.

966

01:
19:23,762 -- 01:19:25,347

I'm happy for you, kid.

967

01:
19:27,556 -- 01:19:28,599

Bru, what's wrong, man?

968

01:
19:29,517 -- 01:19:31,727

I was there for lunch today.

969

01:
19:32,061 -- 01:19:34,563

She made me a cucumber salad.

970

01:
19:42,906 -- 01:19:45,325

- Hey.

- Hey.

971

01:
19:49,287 -- 01:19:52,541

I'm...I'm starting tomorrow.

972

01:
19:53,584 -- 01:19:57,839

Yeah, I heard. Falmouth, right?

Good luck.

973

01:
20:01,008 -- 01:20:04,720

Every scout in the League is goin' to be there

expecting to see Van Leemer versus Huber.

974

01:
20:06,555 -- 01:20:10,309

I know. You're going to pitch

a great game and get discovered.

975

01:
20:16,149 -- 01:20:17,567

I'm scared, Mike.

976

01:
20:21,739 -- 01:20:25,034

This is it.

977

01:
20:25,491 -- 01:20:28,286

You'll be fine, just pitch your game.

978

01:
20:30,873 -- 01:20:32,374

What's my game?

979

01:
20:37,796 -- 01:20:39,256

You're really asking me?

980

01:
20:42,927 -- 01:20:46,765

- You're really asking me.

- Come on, Mike.

981

01:
20:50,185 -- 01:20:51,227

Sit down.

982

01:
20:59,318 -- 01:21:03,447

Hit your spots. Don't try to blow fastballs

by every guy that gets in the box.

983

01:
21:03,947 -- 01:21:05,949

But I can throw way over 90.

984

01:
21:06,034 -- 01:21:09,871

Everybody in the minor league system

can throw 90-plus. So what?

985

01:
21:10,121 -- 01:21:13,333

When is the last time

Greg Maddux threw 95?

986

01:
21:13,750 -- 01:21:16,044

- I want to be intimidating.

- Come on.

987

01:
21:17,295 -- 01:21:19,714

Wouldn't you rather be rich?

988

01:
21:22,969 -- 01:21:26,514

You are so stubborn.

You're just like Mom: bullheaded.

989

01:
21:26,513 -- 01:21:29,140

You place your fastball,

throw your curves for strikes.

990

01:
21:29,140 -- 01:21:30,850

You're dangerous, Ryan.

991

01:
21:30,768 -- 01:21:33,062

You are. You're as good

as any of those guys out there.

992

01:
21:34,813 -- 01:21:35,939

Come on.

993

01:
21:38,359 -- 01:21:40,111

Believe in yourself.

994

01:
21:46,659 -- 01:21:49,120

Mom was pretty stubborn.

995

01:
21:52,332 -- 01:21:55,669

She made me drive her to that game

you pitched against UMass.

996

01:
21:56,502 -- 01:21:58,587

She was sick as a dog.

997

01:
22:00,507 -- 01:22:02,467

Yeah, she never missed a game

back then.

998

01:
22:06,680 -- 01:22:08,640

She hasn't missed one since.

999

01:
22:13,437 -- 01:22:14,813

Come on, I'll buy you a beer.

1000

01:
22:19,360 -- 01:22:22,280

She's so fat, if she wore high heels,

she'd strike oil.

1001

01:
22:25,282 -- 01:22:27,743

What did the one fat chick

say to the other fat chick?

1002

01:
22:28,244 -- 01:22:30,121

- What?

- Who cares? They're fat.

1003

01:
22:34,500 -- 01:22:35,501

Fat chicks are cool.
