---

I'll hit you a home run,

just for you!

Hey, wanna go

catch some ducks?

You're funny!

All right,

I'll go to a game!

- Mary, right?

- Helen!

Helen Woodford!

Babe Ruth!

Yeah, I know!

Hop in, fellas.

Let's go to the park.

All right! He's got an arm...

but he's too good a slugger

to be a pitcher!

We need his bat

every day.

Put him somewhere else,

infield or outfield.

Oh, what a Babe!

That's a good pitch!

Atta-boy!

Whip it in there, Babe!

Strike three!

You damn

bean eater!

He struck out

Ty Cobb twice!

He's gettin'better every time.

Wangdoodle, I don't believe it!

This ain't no monkey

comin' up here!

This Babe,

he's got an arm!

Strike!

Lookee here, hog-gut!

Watch your mouth

or I'll pop you!

You couldn't pitch hay,

Lowdermilk!

You ol'whore-dog!

- Ball!

- What?

Ball!

You heard me!

Better get your eyes

checked, dad! What'd you say?

- Get your ears checked too!

- Who do you think you are?

This is a

gentleman's game!

You speak to an official

like that, I'll throw you out!

You can't tell me what to do,

dad! You're outta the game!

Excuse me,

is that a home run?

No, that's a left cross!

My father says you're the

best ballplayer he's ever seen!

He says that if they

let you back in!!!

you're gonna get us to the

World Series! You betcha, Ella!

Helen. My name

is Helen, George!

You smell good, Helen!

Thank you!

You smell like bacon and eggs!

Bacon and eggs?

I do?

No, it's nice! It suits ya!

Hey, Babe!

My father says

that, um!!!

you're too good

a hitter!

What say we have us a kiss

under this tree here?

No, George!

Not yet!

Okay!

When?

I'm savin' it, George,

for the man I marry!

You like all kinds

of funny animals, Ella!

How 'bout bugs?

You like little bugs?

No, silly!

Bugs ain't animals!

Well, don't move, kid!!!

'cause you got a great big,

scary-lookin' kind of bug!!!

hangin'right over your head,

off of that tree there.

George, get it!

Please, just get it.

Okay,just sit still!

Big Babe'll get it.

Shhh.

Aaah!

Ella-- Esther, don't!

You're my girl!

I am not one of those girls who

waits outside the locker room for you!

Esther, don't get sore! I am

not one of those girls who smoke!

Esther, come on!

Hey, come back,

kid!

No, you big anchovy!

Big what?

Anchovy!

Esther!

Helen!

Esther!

Esther!

Whoa!

Helen,

I can't swim!

George!

George!

George!

George!

Gosh! Look at them!

Do you know what

those are, George?

Cows!

Jerseys!

What do you mean,

jerseys?

Jerseys--

Oh, look!

What a beautiful place!

That must be the owner!

Maybe he'll let you

ride a cow!

Hey, ducks!

Tons of'em! Chickens, George!

See if dad there will

let you take one home!

Hi! Can I

feed them?

Yep.

Thank you!

George, they'll eat

right out of your hand!

Come on over.

How big is this place, fella? 200 acres!

Greenest grass in Sudbury.

And apple orchards

and a goodjersey herd.

You have a beautiful

place here, sir!

Yep!

Oh, now, these

first three keys!!!

are for up to

the main house.

And four and five are for up to

the coops and the sugar house.

Don't give 'em

to me, fella!

Give 'em to that pretty

little girl right there!

It's her farm.

You said you

liked animals!

I was maybe gonna

buy you a white mouse!!!

but a girl like you, you need 200

acres and a whole flock of newjerseys.

Uh, you really gave it

to Brooklyn, Babe!

You just keep killin'

the Yankees and the Dodgers!!!

and I'll do the chores.

Yep!

Kill the Yankees!

Make 'em suffer!

George--

Make 'em suffer!

You're joshin' me!

You're makin'

one of your funny fibs!

What about it, hon?

Let's say you and me

get married!

George! George!

What's the matter?

What is it?

I feel giddy!

Sounds serious!

Sit down, right here!

Give me the duck!

Get out of here!

All right, here!

You okay?

Want some water, honey?

Mm-hmm!

Hey, pop!

Isn't that the prettiest

thing you ever heard?

I'm gonna hang 'em

out by the barn!

Do you think that's

a good place for them?

- What's that?

- The chimes!

Out by the barn,

in that willow!

Yeah, yeah,

that old willow!

Babe, what do you think

about ""Georgiana!!!''

if our baby's a girl?

Georgiana?

Gee, I don't know!

I always liked ""Dorothy!''

Dorothy-- Dorothy.

Honey, can you stop

them bells for a minute?

I hear people talkin'!

Those are spring peepers!

- What?

- Frogs!

I gotta have the old man

set some traps for 'em!

Jesus, a man could go crazy

with the voices they make!

Traps? For frogs?

Yeah, traps for frogs!

You never heard of that?

I bet they got traps for frogs!

They got traps for mice!

Why don't you sit down

and relax, hon?

You bought all this furniture

and you never even sit in it!

Wanna go upstairs?

We were just upstairs!

Yeah,

but we need a baby!

I think three times in one day

gives us a pretty fair chance!

Let's go outside!

What for?

- Catch fireflies!

- What?

Let's go outside

and catch fireflies!

Those are the woods! There's

things out there at night!

You don't go out there

chasin' flies!

What's to eat?

Ace is bringin' groceries

in the mornin'!

Can't keep anything

in the icebox the way you eat!

Hon, me and you are

goin' out on the town!

Where are we goin'? Into the city

for a steak, maybe a little dance!

It's too late!

Too late?

People don't show up at

Jimmy's 'til midnight!

I don't like those people,

George! You don't like 'em?

You shouldn't say that

about people, Helen!

They're not your kind of

people anymore! You're married!

Let's sit down

and go over names!

What do you think

about ""Lucille?''

I think I need a 20-ounce steak,

is what I need!

I got a cravin', kid!

Can you understand that?

George!

I got a cravin'!

I'll be right back!

George!

Hey, Babe!

Dance with me!

Babe, we're next!

Hey, twins!

Come on, girlies! Hotsie-totsie!

We love you, Babe.

Would you sign this?

Sure, kid,

anytime!

I think you're

the greatest!

I don't like baseball, but

I love to watch you sock 'em!

Hell yes, kid!

I swing big and I hit big,

everything I got!

I hit big

or I miss big!

Do you kiss big?

Hiya, Helen!

Do you know what these are?

Yes, they're horses, George!

They're not just any horses, they're

your horses-- 'cause you're my girl!

Helen!

I'm sorry!

This was your idea.

I apologize.

- It was the worst show.

- It was terrible.

Fine show,

Harry!

Say, Mr! Frazee!

Real wangdoodle!

Trash!

Ahh!

Good evening,

Harry!

30 walkouts in the first act!

We're in dutch, Harry!

Great show, Harry!

The best I've ever seen!

Me and the wife are gonna

come back and see it tomorrow!

It won't be here tomorrow, Babe! No?

Then maybe we'll go

to dinner then or somethin'!

Half of everything I own

just went down the drink!!!

with The Gladiators of Broadway.

The other half is in the pocket

of""The Sultan of Swat!''

And he wants

another raise!!!

and his own suite

during road games now!

You guaranteed us, Harry!

First of the month!!!

125,000 ducats!

You can't get blood
