college in Framingham.

92

00:
07:51,531 -- 00:07:53,283

I thought I'd give you a chance anyway.

93

00:
07:53,782 -- 00:07:55,784

- Coach.

- Shut up and listen.

94

00:
07:56,994 -- 00:08:00,915

This summer league is one step away

from getting paid to play baseball.

95

00:
08:03,585 -- 00:08:09,466

Look. I know you've had a bad loss

in your personal life. I'm sorry about that.

96

00:
08:11,259 -- 00:08:15,847

But I don't have any room on this roster

for some hardheaded, local wiseass...

97

00:
08:16,057 -- 00:08:19,477

who thinks the rules don't

apply to him.

98

00:
08:20,269 -- 00:08:23,773

So, like I said:
"Strike two."

99

00:
09:29,756 -- 00:09:32,467

Mr. Parrish, remember my son Ryan?

100

00:
09:32,552 -- 00:09:33,595

How are you doing?

101

00:
09:34,512 -- 00:09:38,433

Fellows, could you do me a favor

and not park trucks on the main driveway?

102

00:
09:38,392 -- 00:09:41,854

Just use the service drive from now on,

would you? Thanks.

103

00:
09:48,569 -- 00:09:51,906

I drove by the Chamberlains'. I thought

you were going to do their lawn this morning.

104

00:
09:52,780 -- 00:09:54,199

I had practice.

105

00:
09:56,160 -- 00:09:57,661

How's the coach?

106

00:
09:58,411 -- 00:10:00,788

I thought I told you not to

talk to him.

107

00:
10:00,873 -- 00:10:02,166

I didn't talk to him.

108

00:
10:02,541 -- 00:10:04,835

Someone told him the story

about mom dying.

109

00:
10:06,963 -- 00:10:08,840

Maybe someone's trying to help you.

110

00:
10:09,131 -- 00:10:11,508

Thanks, but I can screw this

up on my own.

111

00:
10:42,750 -- 00:10:45,127

- I'll meet you over there.

- Get us something.

112

00:
10:47,837 -- 00:10:49,047

Give me three Sam Adams.

113

00:
10:53,469 -- 00:10:55,096

Man, what's that look for?

114

00:
10:58,933 -- 00:11:03,980

I heard my little brother showed up

late for practice wearing a skirt.

115

00:
11:05,315 -- 00:11:08,485

Coach Schiffner didn't strike me

as the type to find that funny.

116

00:
11:10,278 -- 00:11:12,405

No more talking to the coach, got it?

117

00:
11:12,489 -- 00:11:17,911

Fine. Can I tell Pop about the skirt?

He'd be so proud.

118

00:
11:18,995 -- 00:11:21,622

I don't know, Mike,

I don't want to disappoint him.

119

00:
11:21,706 -- 00:11:23,875

After all, he set such high

standards for us.

120

00:
11:28,839 -- 00:11:31,049

What's up, Ryan?

Let's go play some pool.

121

00:
11:31,758 -- 00:11:34,428

I've got to go talk to these guys.

I'll come back.

122

00:
11:34,888 -- 00:11:38,141

Yeah. Go, Chatham A's.

123

00:
11:40,059 -- 00:11:42,812

Van Leemer, so why are you here?

124

00:
11:43,396 -- 00:11:46,441

Dodgers offered me $2,000,000.

That's chump change.

125

00:
11:47,191 -- 00:11:50,235

I'll pitch a few games here.

I figure they'll come to their senses...

126

00:
11:50,319 -- 00:11:52,154

tack on an extra half mil.

127

00:
11:51,988 -- 00:11:52,822

Nice.

128

00:
11:58,119 -- 00:12:00,330

I'm sorry, you had something to say?

129

00:
12:01,039 -- 00:12:02,624

- No.

- Ryan!

130

00:
12:03,459 -- 00:12:06,253

Sorry, I didn't recognize you without your ass

hanging out of your banana hammock...

131

00:
12:06,252 -- 00:12:09,505

sobbing, "Sorry, Coach.

Here's my skirt. It was there, I was here."

132

00:
12:09,840 -- 00:12:11,133

That was you, right? I'm sorry.

133

00:
12:11,842 -- 00:12:15,721

Listen, gentlemen,

we're going to talk to some ladies.

134

00:
12:15,595 -- 00:12:19,265

Walk away. Let's go talk to some women.

Come on. Let it go.

135

00:
12:20,308 -- 00:12:22,101

Boys, enjoy your cocktails.

We'll see you later.

136

00:
12:22,186 -- 00:12:23,646

Thanks for stopping by.

137

00:
12:23,145 -- 00:12:27,191

Meet these ladies, be my wingman,

and you can get out of here.

138

00:
12:27,358 -- 00:12:30,694

Lauren Hodges, allow me to introduce you

to a good friend of mine, this is Ryan Dune.

139

00:
12:31,487 -- 00:12:33,030

- Dunne!

- Hi.

140

00:
12:33,448 -- 00:12:36,368

- And this is her friend...

- Tenley Parrish.

141

00:
12:39,120 -- 00:12:41,081

Unfortunately Ryan has to...

142

00:
12:42,415 -- 00:12:45,252

sit down and stay for a while.

143

00:
12:47,086 -- 00:12:50,297

I know you.

I mean, I've seen you somewhere before.

144

00:
12:51,716 -- 00:12:53,885

I'm a pitcher for the Chatham A's.

145

00:
12:54,969 -- 00:13:00,349

No. I never go to games. I like sports,

but it's hot and I'm a swimmer.

146

00:
13:02,478 -- 00:13:04,981

Look who it is. My favorite lawn boy.

147

00:
13:05,730 -- 00:13:07,899

Didn't get that job on the vineyard.

148

00:
13:08,609 -- 00:13:11,237

But I still want my underwears back.

149

00:
13:11,988 -- 00:13:16,158

Where is my orange thong? Where on

Earth could my orange thong possibly be?

150

00:
13:17,367 -- 00:13:20,787

You seem to be

disarmingly uncomfortable right now...

151

00:
13:20,830 -- 00:13:24,125

so why don't you just give me

my underwears back?

152

00:
13:25,668 -- 00:13:26,752

I can't.

153

00:
13:27,795 -- 00:13:28,838

Why not?

154

00:
13:29,922 -- 00:13:31,424

I'm still wearing them.

155

00:
13:34,635 -- 00:13:36,888

You spit on me! Get out.

156

00:
13:38,932 -- 00:13:42,686

Wait a minute. You're a ball player

and you wear women's underwear.

157

00:
13:42,852 -- 00:13:44,520

What else should I know about you?

158

00:
13:44,604 -- 00:13:47,523

I've been cutting the grass

at your summer house for the last six years.

159

00:
13:47,106 -- 00:13:50,276

- What?

- 642 Shore Road.

160

00:
13:52,653 -- 00:13:55,573

We also check the pipes in the winter

to keep them from freezing.

161

00:
13:56,158 -- 00:13:57,201

We?

162

00:
13:57,701 -- 00:13:59,244

Me and my dad.

163

00:
14:09,172 -- 00:14:11,090

Ryan Dunne.

164

00:
14:32,111 -- 00:14:33,363

Runnin' down.

165

00:
14:34,489 -- 00:14:36,074

Fire that thing!

166

00:
14:36,450 -- 00:14:38,661

Come on, Cal.

One more, baby, let's go.

167

00:
14:43,623 -- 00:14:46,417

- That's it! That's the nasty hammer.

- Here he comes, folks.

168

00:
14:48,379 -- 00:14:49,797

The circus act has arrived.

169

00:
14:56,053 -- 00:14:57,555

Did they give you batteries

with that glove?

170

00:
15:01,642 -- 00:15:03,602

Let's go, Ryan Dunne.

171

00:
15:12,736 -- 00:15:15,656

Come on, Ryan, get

up on there now!

172

00:
15:21,579 -- 00:15:22,872

How do you like me now?

173

00:
15:25,250 -- 00:15:27,252

That's nice! Very nice,

Dunne. All right.

174

00:
15:29,880 -- 00:15:31,590

- You can drive?

- Yeah.

175

00:
15:32,424 -- 00:15:34,718

Where did you go last night?

Miles here met twins.

176

00:
15:34,886 -- 00:15:36,470

- Really?

- I met a girl.

177

00:
15:36,512 -- 00:15:39,140

A girl so big I thought she

was twins.

178

00:
15:40,515 -- 00:15:41,933

She was big, huh?

179

00:
15:42,058 -- 00:15:43,143

- How can I say this?

- How do you say this?

180

00:
15:43,226 -- 00:15:45,687

She was fat and that ain't

with a "PH" kid.

181

15:46,564 -- 00:15:47,732
