- Pecan pie would be good!

- Coffee?

- Yeah!

Bring me another bottle

of beer too, will ya?

Looks like you've been

doin' some shoppin'! Yeah!

Look at this!

I can't believe how much jack they're

givin' me just to play baseball!

Who's paying you to play

baseball? Boston Red Sox!

Hey, you got more curves

than the train tracks!

You're some dame.

Wanna go for a fly

on my motor scooter?

Hey, this is some castle!

What is this place?

What's goin' on here? Social affair!

People from the theater,

investors in my shows, friends!

Wow, some mob!

Harry, my dear! Babe,

easy on the champagne!

Ah, Mrs! Ballister!

Allow me to introduce the

grande dame to the grand slam!

Hiya, grand-dam!

Pleasure to meet you,

young man!

Harry's so proud of you,

for once he's speaking!!!

more fervently of

baseball than musicals!

Everyone wants to meet your

discovery, Harry! Don't I know it!

Everyone's trying

to steal him!

Babe, you're about

to be introduced!

Brevity is the soul of wit! Huh?

Something succinct!!!

like you're happy to play

in Boston for Mr! Frazee!

Ladies and gentlemen.

Make it light!

Make a little joke!

A little joke?

Okay!

Good evening, everyone!

It is being prophesied

that our own!!!

Harry Frazee's

Red Sox of Boston!!!

may very well win

the pennant race this year!

Allow me to introduce to you

the reason why!

The young man

they call...

the ""Baby Ruth!''

Well, this is

a nice place!!!

and I smell some

real good eats!

Everybody

looks real nice!

My owner there,

he's a good fella!

He gave me some

words to say, but!!!

he talks so fast,

I can't remember what they were!

Oh!

Okay, okay.

Here's one.

Okay, grand-dam!

When I count three,

pull the finger!

One!!! two--

""Pull it,'' did you say?

Give it a tug, sis!

Three!

'Board!

Oh, my God!

Gauche,

absolutely gauche!

That was not becoming of

a professional baseball athlete!!!

let alone

a civilized human being!

Hell's bells, dad,

you told me to make a joke!

You go back to the hotel

and sober up!

You have a baseball game

to perform for me tomorrow!

And don't you ever

address me as ""dad'' again!

Now, go!

Hey...

I saw a fella in Paris could flatulate

to the tune of""Molly, My Dear!''

But I bet you he wouldn't

have the tripes to do it!!!

at one of Mrs! Ballister's

social affairs!

Say, you're

a good-lookin' dame!

And you're

quite the slugger!

I saw you hit a home run last

week off of WalterJohnson!

It went through the plate

glass at the Ukrainian diner!

I used to get arrested for that!

Now they give me a check!

I've never seen

a lady smoke before!

Don't tell Mr! Frazee!

Oh, yeah, right,

that guy!

I'm trying out for his next

musical! I'm an actress!

He wants to tell me

what to do all the time!

I don't like people

tellin' me what to do!

Do you?

Where have you been

all my life, Baby Ruth?

St! Mary's Industrial

School for Boys!

Ready?

Set.

Go!

Go!

Ready! Go!

Set! Go!

No, thank you!

Why do you have dinner rolls

in your pocket?

That lady's

got a ton of'em!

At the home, you gotta

grab 'em when you can!

Why were you in there,

in that home?

I was bad! Here!

Ready?

Set!

Go!

What do Mom and Dad think

about their bad boy now?

I don't know!

My mom passed

when I was inside!!!

and my dad, I ain't

never heard from him!

You want to get out of this

church and go raise some hell?

Programs!

Read about the Babe.

Get your programs here!

Read the story about Babe.

- Did Ruth show yet?

- Not yet!

I got two down, Tris on third!

I need the Baby!

Jumpin'Joe,

check the clubhouse!

Jidge!

- Hey, Slick!

- Oh, my God!

I had a time last night!

We drank a case of champagne!

We were drinkin' the grape right

out of the bottle! Look at you!

You're shellacked!

Pull yourself together! You can't

let Carrigan see ya like this!

Let's get outta here!

Leave me alone! Let me

play baseball! Jidge!

There we go!

Here we come!

There he is,

Babe Ruth!

Shore, sit down!

Babe's here!

Is Ruth swacked?

Go get 'em,

Babe!

Was that big ape out on

a rampage last night?

He's standin' up there like

a drunken moocher! He's fined!

That damn thing went over

the center field wall!

No one's ever done that at

Fenway! He likes to hit home runs!

What are you gonna do with

a son of a b*tch like that?

Get that bugger

tighter every day!

Boston Red Sox!

Hey,Jumpin'Joe,

we gonna play some ball?

You played ball

all day, Babe!

It's free time now!

Besides, we got company!

Hon, this is the Babe

I've been tellin' you about!

- This is my wife, Ida.

- Hi.

This is little Caroline!

She's six months!

This little yannigan here

is Joey, LittleJump!

They're here for the

weekend! Wanna go for a ride?

You want somethin' to eat?

We got an icebox now!

No, we're late for

dinner as it is.

Hey, Babe!

How many times do I have to ask ya

not to hang your clothes in my closet?

That ain't mine, that's

yours! No, they ain't!

I bought it for you

at the shop!

What do you mean? I bought it for ya!

In Detroit, remember that singer

with a jacket like that?

And you said,

""There's a snappy fella!''

I saw the hat in the store

so I bought it for ya!

And the jacket's different,

but it's snappy, ain't it?

It's very snappy!

Gee, Babe!

Let's see how

she looks, huh?

Yeah,

this is somethin'!

Here we go!

Ah, this is very snappy!

You big gorilla!

You shouldn't be spendin'

your jack like that!

It'll be great for dinner!

Where we goin', the bistro?

Uh, Babe, come here!

Come here!

Baby!!!

I ain't seen the wife

and kids for three weeks!

We are goin' to dinner,

you know what I mean?

Family?

Family!

Yeah, you'll understand

someday, huh?

You will!

You'll have a family!

Hang on, fellas!

I'll show you a shortcut!

Babe! Babe!

Hey, Babe!

Hey, kids!

How're ya doin'?

Come on!

Yeah, this is it!

Lander's Cafe'!

Hop in, fellas!

Is that the bird?

Yeah, that's her!

That's the bird,

and right on time.

Hi there, Babe!

Hey, kid!

How come you're so shy?

I ain't shy! Well, come on for a ride!

We're havin' one heck of a

wingding! These are my friends!

Hello!

I don't even know ya!

Ah, banana oil!

I think you do know me!

I drive around this street,

everybody calls my name!

- Babe Ruth!

- See?

Every fella that walks into

the coffee shop talks about ya!!!

but that don't mean

I know you!

Well, I know you,

and I like you!

Ah, banana oil!

Fellas, go buy somethin'.

Babe, you're the best! That's great!

Here! Here!

This is for you!

Wanna go for a ride to the park?

We can drive around inside the

stadium and all over the field!

They let me do

whatever I want.

It's late!

I should get home!

Thank you!

What do you do

for fun?

Wait tables?

No!

Well, then what?

What do you like, kid?

I like animals!

Animals?

F-Farm animals!

Cows and horses

and ducks!

I even like mice,

the white ones, that is!

I should get going!

Did you ever go

to the ball game?

Come on out to Fenway

and watch me throw some!
