She was fat?

182

00:
15:47,940 -- 00:15:52,195

Dude this girl had strings hanging off her

from the last time they steered her

out at the streets' parade.

183

00:
15:53,946 -- 00:15:55,698

All right, I had a few beers.

184

00:
15:57,576 -- 00:16:00,120

Lauren's friend was asking about you.

185

00:
16:00,244 -- 00:16:01,287

- Really?

- Yeah, man.

186

00:
16:01,746 -- 00:16:04,457

I told them we'd meet them tonight

for ice cream. Is that cool?

187

00:
16:04,208 -- 00:16:06,919

- Yeah.

- Miles, you can come too.

188

00:
16:07,127 -- 00:16:09,671

There's got to be at least one fat chick

at the ice cream shop.

189

00:
16:09,378 -- 00:16:11,005

I swear to God!

190

00:
16:38,075 -- 00:16:39,493

I've got some burgers in there.

191

00:
16:41,203 -- 00:16:42,704

I hit the Deli on the way home.

192

00:
16:43,372 -- 00:16:44,957

Can you work tomorrow?

193

00:
16:46,376 -- 00:16:47,627

I got a game.

194

00:
16:48,710 -- 00:16:49,836

Are you pitching?

195

00:
16:50,547 -- 00:16:53,716

No, this kid Van Leemer.

196

00:
16:55,928 -- 00:16:57,263

Is he good?

197

00:
16:58,429 -- 00:17:01,975

Yeah. He's good.

Throws hard.

198

00:
17:03,727 -- 00:17:05,312

Harder than you?

199

00:
17:08,898 -- 00:17:11,818

Not a lot of guys throw harder

than you.

200

00:
17:16,240 -- 00:17:20,202

Let me know about your lawns.

One way or another, they got to get done.

201

00:
17:31,715 -- 00:17:34,551

Billy Brubaker, catcher from USC...

202

00:
17:34,718 -- 00:17:38,013

and Ryan Dunne,

left-handed pitcher from Chatham.

203

00:
17:38,137 -- 00:17:40,389

Would you sign these?

204

00:
17:41,390 -- 00:17:43,225

Pretty big Chatham A's fan?

205

00:
17:43,310 -- 00:17:46,479

The biggest.

Plus, I was looking you up for my sister.

206

00:
17:46,604 -- 00:17:48,022

Who's your sister?

207

00:
17:48,356 -- 00:17:50,191

Tenley Parrish.

208

00:
17:50,901 -- 00:17:52,235

Hey, guys! Come here!

209

00:
17:53,696 -- 00:17:55,198

I'm going to be the A's mascot.

210

00:
17:55,114 -- 00:17:59,535

- Hi.

- That's great! What is the A's mascot?

211

00:
18:00,036 -- 00:18:05,041

Well, I'm still working on that.

Maybe a big, fuzzy dog.

212

00:
18:05,290 -- 00:18:08,460

The Chatham Fuzzy Dogs?

"Go, Fuzzy Dogs"?

213

00:
18:09,878 -- 00:18:11,880

"I love the Fuzzy Dogs! "

214

00:
18:13,049 -- 00:18:15,384

We're going to get some ice

cream, okay?

215

00:
18:16,051 -- 00:18:16,927

Okay.

216

00:
18:18,679 -- 00:18:22,350

Actually, my dad has a plan

for me.

217

00:
18:23,018 -- 00:18:24,019

What's the plan?

218

00:
18:24,519 -- 00:18:26,730

He set me up with this job

in San Francisco.

219

00:
18:26,854 -- 00:18:29,941

My uncle is a partner

in this investment firm. I don't know.

220

00:
18:30,359 -- 00:18:31,526

That sounds good.

221

00:
18:31,902 -- 00:18:35,239

No, it's a good job.

It's just that it's what my dad wants.

222

00:
18:36,155 -- 00:18:38,032

So, you want to be an architect?

223

00:
18:38,574 -- 00:18:41,661

Maybe. I'd like to go back to school

to find out.

224

00:
18:43,455 -- 00:18:47,584

It's something that makes me feel

special. It is personal.

225

00:
18:48,544 -- 00:18:51,255

It's about seeing the beauty

in things.

226

00:
18:52,090 -- 00:18:54,217

This one professor of mine

always used to say:...

227

00:
18:54,341 -- 00:18:58,679

"The greatest tool for an architect

is your eyes."

228

00:
18:58,972 -- 00:19:01,140

You have beautiful eyes.

229

00:
19:03,059 -- 00:19:04,561

Is that a line?

230

00:
19:06,228 -- 00:19:10,774

Yeah. Kind of. Did it work?

231

00:
19:11,401 -- 00:19:13,444

Yeah. Kind of.

232

00:
19:21,202 -- 00:19:23,872

You have some ice cream.

233

00:
19:47,688 -- 00:19:49,231

These aren't local girls?

234

00:
19:49,565 -- 00:19:51,066

Summer people.

235

00:
19:52,943 -- 00:19:54,737

Some are people, some are not.

236

00:
19:56,907 -- 00:20:00,285

Lauren has lived in the same house

her family has had for 40 years.

237

00:
20:00,619 -- 00:20:02,245

This big-ass vacation house over on.

238

00:
20:02,453 -- 00:20:05,873

626 Shore Road.

My dad does her yard.

239

00:
20:08,919 -- 00:20:10,795

This Tenley girl is rich, too?

240

00:
20:12,463 -- 00:20:15,299

It takes me half a day to cut the grass.

241

00:
20:16,468 -- 00:20:20,388

So, you mow her lawn,

and now you're trying to mow her lawn?

242

00:
20:23,225 -- 00:20:25,227

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

243

00:
20:25,352 -- 00:20:29,272

Please join me in thanking the Rotary Club

for their generous donation...

244

00:
20:29,440 -- 00:20:33,861

that helped finance our brand new

press box and concession stand.

245

00:
20:34,236 -- 00:20:38,198

Please give a warm welcome to

the new radio voice of the Chatham A's...

246

00:
20:38,241 -- 00:20:39,825

Mr. Curt Gowdy.

247

00:
20:42,869 -- 00:20:43,870

Thank you.

248

00:
20:44,038 -- 00:20:45,498

Play ball!

249

00:
20:45,706 -- 00:20:49,710

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,

to the season opener for the Chatham A's.

250

00:
20:49,670 -- 00:20:53,131

And today, the A's square off

against the Wareham Gatemen.

251

00:
20:53,839 -- 00:20:55,174

What a beautiful day for baseball.

252

00:
20:55,175 -- 00:20:59,429

A perfect start

to the Cape League's 115th season.

253

00:
21:00,430 -- 00:21:04,685

On the mound today,

is the much touted Eric Van Leemer.

254

00:
21:04,934 -- 00:21:07,395

A hard throwing right-hander

from Wichita State.

255

00:
21:10,940 -- 00:21:12,358

Strike three called.

256

00:
21:12,526 -- 00:21:14,695

The A's new mascot likes

what she sees.

257

00:
21:16,905 -- 00:21:19,032

Damn. He throws hard.

258

00:
21:20,534 -- 00:21:22,911

Yeah, Van Leemer is an All-American.

259

00:
21:23,412 -- 00:21:25,956

The Dodgers offered him $2,000,000.

260

00:
21:27,166 -- 00:21:28,334

Yeah, I heard.

261

00:
21:28,835 -- 00:21:33,506

Ryan! Sorry, I didn't recognize you without

your ass hanging out...

262

00:
21:41,430 -- 00:21:44,057

Swing and a miss,

and the Gatemen go down in order.

263

00:
21:44,767 -- 00:21:48,396

And so far,

Van Leemer appears as advertised.

264

00:
21:51,065 -- 00:21:53,943

- What's up?

- Scout, 3 o'clock.

265

00:
21:56,071 -- 00:22:00,117

Quit drooling. July 4

they'll be a dozen of them at every game.

266

00:
22:01,200 -- 00:22:02,911

Well, I'm sorry, Dodger Blue.

267

00:
22:03,578 -- 00:22:07,624

The A's are looking for more here

in the sixth, as Billy Brubaker stands in.

268

00:
22:08,209 -- 00:22:09,376

Fast hands, now.

269

00:
22:09,709 -- 00:22:13,296

Brubaker is struggling with these wooden bats,

as are so many Cape League hitters.

270

00:
22:15,633 -- 00:22:19,595

Swing and a miss. Strike three.

Brubaker's second strikeout of the day.

271

00:
22:21,472 -- 00:22:23,224

Wood bats suck.

272

00:
22:23,433 -- 00:22:26,061

Why do you think God invented

aluminum? Goddamn it!

273

00:
22:28,687 -- 00:22:31,273

We'll get you a titanium bat,

Brubaker.

274

00:
22:31,815 -- 00:22:33,442
