2
00:01:11,471 --> 00:01:16,041
<i>It started out as just another
day of living the dream.</i>

3
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:22,548
<i>In Montreal, I had
become a fan favorite.</i>

4
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:26,585
<i>They would shower me with tiny
foil balls of hash in the bullpen</i>

5
00:01:26,587 --> 00:01:29,555
<i>and lower down little
bottles of Tequila.</i>

6
00:01:29,557 --> 00:01:34,426
<i>A record take of 67 bottles
in two months one season.</i>

7
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:37,696
<i>And the good stuff, too.</i>

8
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:47,506
<i>I loved the life of getting paid to
play the greatest game on earth.</i>

9
00:01:47,574 --> 00:01:50,609
<i>Sometimes I thought
to myself that maybe</i>

10
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:53,579
<i>I'd even do it for free.</i>

11
00:02:25,178 --> 00:02:26,778
<i>Bill Lee takes the ball today.</i>

12
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:29,982
<i>Good-looking kid out of
Southern California.</i>

13
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:36,021
<i>He's very quotable.</i>

14
00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:39,791
<i>You know, his teammates have started
calling him "the spaceman."</i>

15
00:02:41,094 --> 00:02:44,696
<i>Lee is really on top
of his game these days.</i>

16
00:02:44,698 --> 00:02:47,299
<i>Well, he's certainly
not afraid to speak his mind.</i>

17
00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:51,837
<i>He referred to Red Sox manager
don Zimmer as "the gerbil."</i>

18
00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:54,273
<i>He may not know how
to keep his mouth shut,</i>

19
00:02:54,275 --> 00:02:56,708
<i>but he plays the game
the right way.</i>

20
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:58,911
<i>Handles a bat well, too.</i>

21
00:02:59,779 --> 00:03:04,516
<i>Looks like he finally wore
out his welcome in Boston.</i>

22
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:05,918
<i>Bill Lee has to be considered</i>

23
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,353
<i>one of the top lefties
of all of baseball.</i>

24
00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:10,355
<i>The spaceman
just keeps on competing</i>

25
00:03:10,357 --> 00:03:14,693
<i>and has put together a fine
season for the Montreal expos.</i>

26
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:16,995
<i>Left to center?
Yeah, I guess so.</i>

27
00:03:16,997 --> 00:03:20,933
<i>He's actually a little bit
left of Che Guevara.</i>

28
00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:25,871
<i>Once again,
bill Lee works out of a jam.</i>

29
00:03:25,873 --> 00:03:30,876
<i>You can't help but feel he's always
one step ahead of the hitter.</i>

30
00:03:31,177 --> 00:03:34,479
<i>Well, there's only one spaceman.</i>

31
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:04,109
Stop. Stop.

32
00:04:04,111 --> 00:04:07,179
Bill Lee. Present and accounted
for, drill sergeant.

33
00:04:07,181 --> 00:04:08,580
Uh-uh. This gate don't open

34
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:10,048
till one hour before game time.

35
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:12,150
That's like, um,
five minutes from now.

36
00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:15,687
Eh. You can go in through
gate a or gate d.

37
00:04:15,689 --> 00:04:17,623
Just not this one, gate c, huh?

38
00:04:17,625 --> 00:04:19,291
When the hell did
they make that rule?

39
00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:20,892
Look, I can come in,
I'm on the team.

40
00:04:20,894 --> 00:04:25,097
Yes.
In, uh, four minutes.

41
00:04:26,566 --> 00:04:27,299
Okay.
Let's start over.

42
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:29,201
I don't think that
we've officially met.

43
00:04:29,203 --> 00:04:30,302
My name's Lee.

44
00:04:30,304 --> 00:04:32,504
I swore to you I'm on
the team, all right?

45
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:35,507
I'm a pitcher. Left-handed pitcher.
<i>Lanceur.</i>

46
00:04:35,509 --> 00:04:39,177
I won 17 games three years in a row.
I can come in.

47
00:04:39,179 --> 00:04:42,247
Of course.

48
00:04:42,249 --> 00:04:43,548
Bill Lee!

49
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:45,384
Sorry about that...
Ah, it's okay.

50
00:04:45,386 --> 00:04:48,420
You just don't look Chinese. No.

51
00:04:48,422 --> 00:04:49,855
No, I sure don't.

52
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:53,592
You gonna let me in?

53
00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:55,427
Three minutes.

54
00:04:55,429 --> 00:04:57,596
Thank you!
<i>Merci Beaucoup.</i>

55
00:04:57,598 --> 00:04:58,363
Hey, stop, huh?

56
00:04:58,365 --> 00:05:00,832
Bye-bye.

57
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:02,701
Somebody stop him!

58
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:10,442
<i>Heard you shut down the
cul-de-sac again last night.</i>

59
00:05:10,444 --> 00:05:12,577
Yeah, I was tucked in
by midnight.

60
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:15,647
You know, you guys are like the
gestapo with your spies around town.

61
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:17,883
Losing five straight
this early on will do that.

62
00:05:17,885 --> 00:05:18,917
People start to panic.
What?

63
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:22,020
Ace from space!
You throwing today?

64
00:05:22,022 --> 00:05:24,056
I hope so. Hey, how's
your wife doing?

65
00:05:24,058 --> 00:05:25,657
I think they found
what they were looking for.

66
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:29,761
And thank you for the Jersey.
My son went crazy over it.

67
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:32,597
Thank you! He brought it
to school, everything.

68
00:05:32,599 --> 00:05:34,599
Thanks.
Good luck tonight.

69
00:05:36,403 --> 00:05:38,003
You know, we won the
damn division last year.

70
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:40,739
How about some Patience? Like,
give us some time to gel.

71
00:05:40,741 --> 00:05:43,308
Not sure Patience is a
high priority right now.

72
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:44,309
Everyone's on edge.

73
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:45,277
Yeah, well, they should be.

74
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,244
We're facing Fernando tonight.

75
00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:49,214
You hear anything about a
drug problem on this team?

76
00:05:49,216 --> 00:05:51,750
Why do you guys always come asking
me for these kinds of things?

77
00:05:51,752 --> 00:05:54,119
Gee, I don't know. Maybe
because you are on the cover

78
00:05:54,121 --> 00:05:55,554
of <i>high times</i> magazine.

79
00:05:55,556 --> 00:05:56,288
Yeah, I know.

80
00:05:56,290 --> 00:05:59,458
Did you actually say you sprinkle
marijuana on your oatmeal?

81
00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:01,193
No, I said pancakes, okay?

82
00:06:01,195 --> 00:06:05,063
It makes me impervious to bus
fumes when I run to the ballpark.

83
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:05,597
Big difference.

84
00:06:05,599 --> 00:06:09,835
You know, you should try it sometime.
It helps with anxiety.

85
00:06:12,772 --> 00:06:14,005
What are you guys doing here?

86
00:06:14,007 --> 00:06:19,111
Huh, careful! This might turn into a
drinking town with a baseball problem.

87
00:06:19,113 --> 00:06:19,845
What is it now?

88
00:06:19,847 --> 00:06:22,147
A hockey town with
a drinking problem.

89
00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:26,151
Bill, what do you think of the rumored
"drug problem" in this clubhouse?

90
00:06:26,153 --> 00:06:28,553
Don't answer that.
Pretty please.

91
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:29,654
Well, there, uh,

92
00:06:29,656 --> 00:06:31,156
definitely is
a drug problem here.

93
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:34,626
Whitman hasn't been able to score
anything good since spring training

94
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,294
and he's starting
to get the shakes.

95
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:45,737
Hey, bill, how do you think losing your
pal Rodney Scott's gonna affect the team?

96
00:06:45,739 --> 00:06:51,510
Yeah bill, you gonna take a stand for
Rodney like you did for Bernie in Boston?

97
00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:52,878
Cool breeze!

98
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,312
What the hell happened, man?

99
00:06:54,314 --> 00:06:56,415
I just got goddamn dropped.

100
00:06:56,417 --> 00:06:58,283
When?
Just now.

101
00:06:58,285 --> 00:06:59,518
Are you freaking kidding me?

102
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,919
If I'm lying' I'm dying.

103
00:07:00,921 --> 00:07:03,021
You're one of our MVPS
god damn it.

104
00:07:03,023 --> 00:07:04,923
Where's Fulton?

105
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:07,225
I'm done as a dog here, man.

106
00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:10,862
I have no idea
what I'm gonna do now.

107
00:07:12,366 --> 00:07:15,967
Hey, don't you worry, I'm gonna
go talk to Fulton right now.

108
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:16,334
Bill.

109
00:07:16,336 --> 00:07:19,905
There ain't no use in getting
yourself all caught up in this mess.

110
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:21,239
I got it.

111
00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:23,675
All right, take it easy, bill.

112
00:07:23,677 --> 00:07:25,477
I'm so freakin' outta here.

113
00:07:25,479 --> 00:07:26,411
Guys!

114
00:07:26,413 --> 00:07:29,614
This injustice can
no longer be tolerated!

115
00:07:29,882 --> 00:07:31,817
Now, who's with me?

116
00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:37,789
Uh, I'm with you.

117
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:40,358
Come on.
Who's with me?

118
00:07:41,327 --> 00:07:43,161
Pussies.
Hey, bill.

119
00:07:43,163 --> 00:07:43,895
Fine, I'm going.

120
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:45,330
Would you calm down, please?

121
00:07:45,332 --> 00:07:48,900
Crazy ass-cracker.
Bill! Hold on.

122
00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:50,068
Bill...

123
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:51,670
What you gonna say to him?

124
00:07:51,672 --> 00:07:54,072
Tommy. Tommy!

125
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:56,808
Fucking chickenshit.

126
00:07:58,345 --> 00:08:01,279
What're you... Hold
on, hold on, hold on.

127
00:08:01,547 --> 00:08:05,917
"This is bullshit.

128
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:10,489
"I'll be at brasserie 77.

129
00:08:10,491 --> 00:08:13,892
"If you need me,
come and get me."

130
00:08:13,894 --> 00:08:16,194
All right, Rodney.

131
00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:26,238
Let's go. Let's get out of here.
Hey, bill...

132
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,373
- Bill.
- What?

133
00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:30,041
Hold on for a second now, bill.

134
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:34,279
Now look, the thing is I gotta
finish packing up my things

135
00:08:34,281 --> 00:08:36,982
and they're supposed to bring out
the cold cuts any minute now.

136
00:08:36,984 --> 00:08:39,551
So I'll catch up
with you, all right?

137
00:08:39,553 --> 00:08:40,685
The cold cuts?

138
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:41,853
You're gonna stick
around for the...

139
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:44,322
I love charcuterie. Just go.
Go. Okay. Okay.

140
00:08:44,324 --> 00:08:47,158
Well, I'll meet you...
I'll see you there.

141
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,329
<i>So here's Ron Cey to lead off
the top half of the sixth.</i>

142
00:08:51,331 --> 00:08:53,598
<i>Bob James now on in relief.</i>

143
00:08:55,402 --> 00:08:56,801
Oh!

144
00:08:56,803 --> 00:08:57,969
Next!

145
00:08:57,971 --> 00:09:00,205
Wow, you are unbelievable.
You know that?

146
00:09:00,406 --> 00:09:02,274
Yeah, yeah. Just payment.

147
00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:05,877
You're a thief.

148
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:12,884
Come on, you got to
pitch around this guy!

149
00:09:14,955 --> 00:09:17,055
Sandy, can I get
another one, please?

150
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:19,491
Do you mind turning on
the baseball game for me?

151
00:09:19,493 --> 00:09:20,659
Sorry, hockey's on.

152
00:09:20,661 --> 00:09:24,362
Might wanna slow down a little.
You're drinking those like water.

153
00:09:24,364 --> 00:09:27,933
I never drink water this fast.

154
00:09:28,601 --> 00:09:30,835
Hey, bill. Would you
like a shot of whiskey?

155
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:33,505
Oh, no. No, no, no.
No, thank you.

156
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:38,710
In fact, I think I'm gonna head
back over to the ball park.

157
00:09:38,712 --> 00:09:40,679
Looks like they might
be needing me soon.

158
00:09:40,681 --> 00:09:42,080
Doesn't look like
Rodney's showing up.

159
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:45,317
You're four deep. You
sure you wanna go pitch?

160
00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:48,420
That's actually five.

161
00:09:48,422 --> 00:09:49,888
And yeah, I'll be fine.

162
00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:52,624
You might want to turn on
that baseball game.

163
00:09:52,626 --> 00:09:55,360
You're about to witness
something special.

164
00:09:55,728 --> 00:09:57,195
Well, good luck.

165
00:09:57,197 --> 00:10:01,499
<i>- He's there. He's got it.
- And that will end the inning.</i>

166
00:10:15,414 --> 00:10:17,182
<i>Look, I was ready to pitch!</i>

167
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:20,352
I could've held them and we
would've won the damn ballgame.

168
00:10:20,354 --> 00:10:24,222
How am I supposed to help this team
when you don't fucking use me?

169
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:26,157
We are 20 plus games
into the season,

170
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,193
and I've pitched,
what, 12 innings.

171
00:10:28,195 --> 00:10:31,062
Are you completely
fucking crazy, Lee?

172
00:10:31,064 --> 00:10:32,063
I might be a little bit
crazy, yeah.

173
00:10:32,065 --> 00:10:36,635
Do you honestly think I would put
you into a major league ball game

174
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:39,137
after you've been at a bar drinking?
Oh...

175
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:40,739
You were lit!
I wasn't lit.

176
00:10:40,741 --> 00:10:44,309
I had five beers... Five beers,
seven beers, ten beers...

177
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,312
I'd beat catfish
after having seven.

178
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:48,513
Okay?

179
00:10:48,515 --> 00:10:49,914
You don't think that
we drink and smoke

180
00:10:49,916 --> 00:10:52,350
all goddamn game long
in the bullpen anyway?

181
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:53,685
That's not the point!

182
00:10:53,687 --> 00:10:57,722
The point is
you abandoned your team!

183
00:10:57,724 --> 00:10:59,557
You're a deserter.

184
00:11:00,292 --> 00:11:01,760
A deserter.

185
00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:04,496
Where the fuck are we, Hanoi?

186
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:10,068
Look, I was just trying to
make a statement. All right?

187
00:11:10,736 --> 00:11:13,304
Where is the compassion
on this team?

188
00:11:13,306 --> 00:11:14,873
Rodney has a family.

189
00:11:14,875 --> 00:11:17,575
Rodney Scott is none
of your business.

190
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:19,344
None of my business?

191
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:23,648
Rodney has given us everything
that he has for three years.

192
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:24,482
He has won ball games for us,

193
00:11:24,484 --> 00:11:27,519
and he is one of the most decent
guys that we have on this team.

194
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:31,389
He's my fucking friend. And you
fucking lie to him over and over.

195
00:11:31,391 --> 00:11:35,660
This is a business, Lee, plain and simple.
It's a business.

196
00:11:35,662 --> 00:11:39,197
Rodney was batting .200.
Numbers don't lie.

197
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:40,498
Lee, listen.

198
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:41,933
You can't fight reality, Lee.

199
00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:44,836
Ever seen reality? You ever
noticed what reality is?

200
00:11:44,838 --> 00:11:47,472
Because you lose every time.

201
00:11:47,474 --> 00:11:51,609
Do you have a Webster's
dictionary in here or just

202
00:11:51,611 --> 00:11:53,244
comic books and porn?

203
00:11:53,246 --> 00:11:55,080
Why me? What did I
do to deserve him?

204
00:11:55,082 --> 00:12:01,219
I want you to look up the word
"integrity" and tell me what it says.

205
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:02,887
That's enough.

206
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:06,591
"Integrity is the essence
of everything successful."

207
00:12:06,593 --> 00:12:08,793
Buckminster Fuller said that.

208
00:12:08,795 --> 00:12:10,161
Who?
Yeah, exactly.

209
00:12:10,163 --> 00:12:15,900
I am sick and tired of this
intellectual bullshit!

210
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:19,771
This is baseball, not UCLA.

211
00:12:20,173 --> 00:12:26,411
Goodrich wants to see you in
his office bright and early.

212
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:29,214
Now this is between
you and him now.

213
00:12:29,216 --> 00:12:30,682
Why can't he just
see me right now?

214
00:12:30,684 --> 00:12:33,618
He doesn't want to see you
in the state you're in.

215
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:35,520
We're not in a state.

216
00:12:35,522 --> 00:12:36,287
We're in a province.

217
00:12:36,289 --> 00:12:37,922
You would know that
if you went to college.

218
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:40,959
Oh, and by the way,
I went to USC, not UCLA,

219
00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:42,794
you ignorant fucking prick.

220
00:12:42,862 --> 00:12:45,296
Out. Now!

221
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:47,265
Hmm...
Fucking push me?

222
00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:48,600
Get out.

223
00:12:56,509 --> 00:12:59,544
"It's better to die
than to live in sleep."

224
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:02,814
Shakespeare?
No, no, no...

225
00:13:02,816 --> 00:13:04,282
GI Gurdjieff.

226
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:06,151
The Indian mystic.

227
00:13:08,754 --> 00:13:12,690
GI Gurdjieff...
The fuck out!

228
00:13:12,692 --> 00:13:15,193
<i>I wasn't worried a bit.</i>

229
00:13:15,195 --> 00:13:17,195
<i>Hell, it wasn't even
the first time</i>

230
00:13:17,197 --> 00:13:19,731
<i>I had to walk off
a team to make a point.</i>

231
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:24,869
<i>Back in Boston, I won 17
games, three years in a row.</i>

232
00:13:24,871 --> 00:13:27,505
<i>Even started game seven
of what many consider</i>

233
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:30,975
<i>the greatest world series
ever played.</i>

234
00:13:35,347 --> 00:13:35,880
Bill,

235
00:13:35,882 --> 00:13:39,684
last night Fisk hit one of the most
historic home runs of all time

236
00:13:39,686 --> 00:13:42,353
and tonight, you get the
ball for all the marbles.

237
00:13:42,355 --> 00:13:45,990
Reds manager, sparky Anderson
says that win or lose,

238
00:13:45,992 --> 00:13:49,027
his pitcher don Gullett is
going to the hall of fame.

239
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:51,763
What do you have
to say about that?

240
00:13:51,765 --> 00:13:56,000
Well, win or lose, I'm
going to the Eliot lounge.

241
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:58,203
<i>There it is.</i>

242
00:13:58,205 --> 00:14:00,972
<i>A high drive. He was
waiting for that one.</i>

243
00:14:00,974 --> 00:14:03,508
<i>That one is gone
over everything.</i>

244
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:06,311
<i>We didn't win that
ball game, unfortunately.</i>

245
00:14:06,313 --> 00:14:09,714
<i>Tony Perez hit a curveball of
mine that hasn't landed yet.</i>

246
00:14:10,417 --> 00:14:15,553
<i>But I'd like to see you find don
Gullett's plaque hanging in Cooperstown.</i>

247
00:14:15,621 --> 00:14:17,789
<i>I however,</i>

248
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:18,991
<i>I kept my end of the bargain.</i>

249
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:27,699
<i>We called ourselves the loyal
order of the buffalo heads.</i>

250
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:33,204
<i>It was me, Fergie Jenkins, Rick wise,
Jim Willoughby and Bernie Carbo.</i>

251
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:35,473
<i>Bernie was a bit
out of control in hindsight.</i>

252
00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:40,778
<i>Well, I guess we all were, but, I
don't know. Maybe I'm projecting.</i>

253
00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:45,917
Hey, what are you doing? Come back
here, you crazy motherfucker!

254
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:48,386
Oh, we're screwed.
Oh, shit.

255
00:14:50,956 --> 00:14:53,224
<i>I said to the gm...</i>

256
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:56,027
How the hell
can you trade Carbo?

257
00:14:56,029 --> 00:14:57,996
This team needs a guy like him.

258
00:14:57,998 --> 00:15:00,131
<i>I realize he's been
partying sort of hard</i>

259
00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:04,569
<i>and traveling with that crazy stuffed
gorilla, but he has a family.</i>

260
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:06,971
Where is the compassion
around here?

261
00:15:06,973 --> 00:15:08,339
<i>And he just said...</i>

262
00:15:08,341 --> 00:15:10,074
It's a business, bill.

263
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:11,643
You'll learn soon enough.

264
00:15:11,645 --> 00:15:15,146
One day you'll understand
why we have rules.

265
00:15:16,849 --> 00:15:19,017
<i>Om.</i>

266
00:15:21,487 --> 00:15:23,054
<i>Om.</i>

267
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:26,157
<i>Om.</i>

268
00:15:28,494 --> 00:15:30,061
<i>Om.</i>

269
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,199
Om.

270
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:39,437
Om.

271
00:15:42,241 --> 00:15:44,075
Om.

272
00:15:47,346 --> 00:15:48,579
Jesus!

273
00:15:48,581 --> 00:15:51,716
Lee, how the hell
did you get in here?

274
00:15:51,718 --> 00:15:53,584
Through the door.

275
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:56,421
Always with
the smart answers, huh?

276
00:15:56,488 --> 00:15:58,489
Get the fuck off my desk, bill!

277
00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:03,795
You like games, huh, bill?

278
00:16:03,797 --> 00:16:05,830
How about we play
a fun little game, huh?

279
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:08,566
And in this game, bill,
I ask you another question,

280
00:16:08,568 --> 00:16:11,302
we see if you can come up
with a clever answer.

281
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:12,603
Does that sound good?
Yeah.

282
00:16:12,605 --> 00:16:14,706
Okay.
Here's the question, bill.

283
00:16:14,708 --> 00:16:18,843
How do you feel about the fact that we
are about to release your insubordinate,

284
00:16:18,845 --> 00:16:23,448
over-the-hill ass immediately
from your contract?

285
00:16:23,450 --> 00:16:24,615
Releasing me?

286
00:16:24,617 --> 00:16:26,417
Under whose authority?

287
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:29,253
The queen of fucking England.
What difference does it make?

288
00:16:29,255 --> 00:16:32,223
It's a done deal.
Pack up your shit.

289
00:16:32,225 --> 00:16:33,624
You don't have
the right to restrict

290
00:16:33,626 --> 00:16:36,661
my constitutional
freedom of expression.

291
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,329
Oh, shit.
You know what, bill?

292
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:40,631
You're absolutely right.
I don't. I know.

293
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:42,700
But what I do have
the right, bill,

294
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:44,469
is to decide
who plays on this team,

295
00:16:44,471 --> 00:16:48,172
and who doesn't. And frankly,
we're going to really miss ya.

296
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:50,608
Okay. Come on, we both know
that this team needs me.

297
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:51,075
Maybe.

298
00:16:51,077 --> 00:16:54,412
But you know what, that's a risk
that we're very willing to take.

299
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:56,781
And I need them. I do.

300
00:16:56,783 --> 00:16:59,550
I have a family,
my kids go to school here.

301
00:16:59,552 --> 00:17:00,485
They have friends.

302
00:17:00,487 --> 00:17:01,886
We can't move back
to the states.

303
00:17:01,888 --> 00:17:03,588
They only know
the metric system.

304
00:17:04,224 --> 00:17:05,990
Well, bill, this will give
them a chance

305
00:17:05,992 --> 00:17:08,826
to "expand their consciousness,"
as you like to say.

306
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:11,462
You know what's funny,
is I hate this part of my job.

307
00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:13,798
You know, releasing players,
'cause normally,

308
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,066
right now is
the time when I say,

309
00:17:15,068 --> 00:17:17,301
"oh, I'm so sorry.
It's not personal.

310
00:17:17,303 --> 00:17:19,504
"It's business."
But today,

311
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:21,472
it actually feels good,
to be honest,

312
00:17:21,474 --> 00:17:24,409
'cause I was gonna wait to
do this after the home stand.

313
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:28,079
But since you're being here,
and such a fucking douchebag,

314
00:17:28,081 --> 00:17:31,249
why don't you just sign here,
and initial here?

315
00:17:31,251 --> 00:17:34,419
And you know what, bill,
we're done.

316
00:17:41,193 --> 00:17:42,627
You know what?

317
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:45,063
You wanna cut me, go for it.

318
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,467
There are plenty
of other clubs out there

319
00:17:49,469 --> 00:17:51,869
desperate for quality
left-handed pitching.

320
00:17:51,871 --> 00:17:52,837
One of them will sign me.

321
00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:56,774
And then we're gonna come marching back
in here with the pennant on the line,

322
00:17:56,776 --> 00:17:58,810
and I'm gonna beat you
in a game so bad

323
00:17:58,812 --> 00:18:02,180
that your future, future,
great grandsons will feel it

324
00:18:02,182 --> 00:18:05,450
like a swift kick in the nuts.

325
00:18:05,452 --> 00:18:08,019
That's my grandpa Forrest
for fuck's sake, bill.

326
00:18:08,021 --> 00:18:12,223
I tell you what, bill, I sincerely
believe that you believe that.

327
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:16,027
One of them will sign me, someone who
appreciates me and lets me be myself.

328
00:18:16,029 --> 00:18:18,796
Somebody who knows how to treat
its employees with dignity.

329
00:18:18,798 --> 00:18:19,464
With respect and loyalty.

330
00:18:19,466 --> 00:18:24,368
Hey, do me a solid, when you find this
mythical team, see if they'd give me a job?

331
00:18:24,370 --> 00:18:26,037
Hey, bill! Come on back. What?

332
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:29,107
Hey, unless you initial
it's not official.

333
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:31,909
I got a t-shirt made
with that on it.

334
00:18:32,678 --> 00:18:34,045
There you go.

335
00:18:35,414 --> 00:18:36,848
Oh, that's mature, bill.
Yeah.

336
00:18:36,850 --> 00:18:38,649
That's mature.
Somebody will pick me up.

337
00:18:38,651 --> 00:18:41,853
Guaranteed, probably
later this afternoon.

338
00:18:41,855 --> 00:18:43,354
Don't count on it, bill.

339
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:45,857
Don't fucking count on it.

340
00:18:51,396 --> 00:18:54,031
<i>- You're listening to
- CFCF 600 Montreal.</i>

341
00:18:54,033 --> 00:18:58,803
<i>There is a disturbing rumor
circulating around town right now</i>

342
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:03,074
<i>that the expos
have released bill Lee.</i>

343
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:06,811
<i>Hopefully, it's just a rumor.</i>

344
00:19:07,045 --> 00:19:10,047
<i>Either way, this one
goes out to you, bill.</i>

345
00:19:10,049 --> 00:19:13,217
<i>It's Warren Zevon,</i> bill Lee.

346
00:19:37,277 --> 00:19:40,211
Fuckin' expos...

347
00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:44,482
Fuck! Fuck!

348
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,897
I got a brother, he's got a fishing
outfit in the eastern townships.

349
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:34,165
You can get a job there.

350
00:20:34,167 --> 00:20:36,000
It's all the COD you can eat.

351
00:20:36,535 --> 00:20:38,636
Hydroponics.

352
00:20:38,638 --> 00:20:39,537
Hydroponics.

353
00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:41,606
Trust me, it's gonna
be big one day.

354
00:20:41,608 --> 00:20:43,641
Ever think about
going into politics, bill?

355
00:20:43,643 --> 00:20:47,845
Hey, would you village idiots
shut the fuck up already.

356
00:20:49,681 --> 00:20:50,715
Dickie Dennis.

357
00:20:50,717 --> 00:20:52,383
This strapping
young man right here

358
00:20:52,385 --> 00:20:55,753
is a goddamn professional
baseball player.

359
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:56,387
That's right, goddammit.

360
00:20:56,389 --> 00:20:59,056
He doesn't need to be growing
weed on a fishing boat

361
00:20:59,058 --> 00:21:01,392
while running for the
senate for his livelihood.

362
00:21:01,394 --> 00:21:04,528
Fuck no, he needs to
be throwing a baseball.

363
00:21:04,530 --> 00:21:07,231
Because it is a god given talent.
That's right.

364
00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:08,966
And the spaceman here
is an icon,

365
00:21:08,968 --> 00:21:11,202
he's bigger than the game itself.
Okay, all right, dick.

366
00:21:11,204 --> 00:21:13,204
And the game needs fellas like this.
That's enough.

367
00:21:13,206 --> 00:21:15,806
No, no, no.
Let's get another one.

368
00:21:15,808 --> 00:21:18,042
I got a way of getting
you back on the mound.

369
00:21:18,044 --> 00:21:21,212
A word in my office,
<i>s'il vous plait.</i>

370
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:23,914
Okay, I can't wait
to hear this one.

371
00:21:23,916 --> 00:21:27,184
Yep.
Right, Larry, thank you.

372
00:21:27,186 --> 00:21:30,221
So how's the new novel
coming along there, dick?

373
00:21:30,223 --> 00:21:33,758
Great. Just waiting on
notes from the editor.

374
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,993
He's real excited
about this one.

375
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,596
Isn't that what you said
about the last one?

376
00:21:38,697 --> 00:21:41,432
Yeah, and the one before that.

377
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,768
But this is not about
my bad luck streak.

378
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:46,337
It is about
your bad luck streak.

379
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:49,540
You got a plan?
Yeah, I got a plan.

380
00:21:49,542 --> 00:21:51,142
What is it? My plan is
to wait by the phone

381
00:21:51,144 --> 00:21:53,411
and just wait for the
offers to come rolling in.

382
00:21:53,413 --> 00:21:54,312
That's my plan.

383
00:21:54,314 --> 00:21:56,280
What if your phone don't ring?

384
00:21:56,282 --> 00:21:56,614
It will.

385
00:21:56,616 --> 00:22:00,584
I gotta be honest with you, bill.
You're 35 years old.

386
00:22:00,719 --> 00:22:05,122
You're not over the hill just yet, but
you're not a spring chicken either.

387
00:22:05,124 --> 00:22:07,224
Satchel Paige threw
three scoreless innings

388
00:22:07,226 --> 00:22:10,027
against the Red Sox
when he was 59 years old.

389
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:12,496
I'm well aware of that fact.

390
00:22:13,065 --> 00:22:16,033
And that's why
I got a real plan.

391
00:22:16,868 --> 00:22:18,636
What we're gonna do...

392
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:20,237
We're gonna write letters

393
00:22:20,239 --> 00:22:21,872
to every single team
in major league baseball.

394
00:22:21,874 --> 00:22:26,010
We're gonna let 'em know that you are
healthy, ready, and available to play.

395
00:22:26,012 --> 00:22:28,746
You mean every team
in the national league?

396
00:22:29,881 --> 00:22:30,848
Why?
Oh.

397
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:32,283
I won't be able to hit
in the American league.

398
00:22:32,285 --> 00:22:36,087
I don't think we should
cut the cloth quite so fine.

399
00:22:36,089 --> 00:22:37,054
I gotta hit, I gotta hit,

400
00:22:37,056 --> 00:22:39,123
and that means being part
of the national league.

401
00:22:39,125 --> 00:22:42,293
Yeah, but you're cutting
our options in half.

402
00:22:42,295 --> 00:22:44,028
What do you mean,
"our options?"

403
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,329
What is this?

404
00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:46,263
It means I'll be your agent.

405
00:22:46,265 --> 00:22:49,734
Just for
a nominal fee, you know?

406
00:22:49,736 --> 00:22:51,836
Whatever the industry
standard is.

407
00:22:51,838 --> 00:22:52,937
I don't know that.

408
00:22:52,939 --> 00:22:57,074
I've been just fine on my own without
an agent for all these years.

409
00:22:57,076 --> 00:22:58,309
Oh, really?
Yeah.

410
00:22:58,311 --> 00:23:01,078
Yeah. What do you know about
being an agent, anyway?

411
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,148
Where is your career right now?

412
00:23:04,150 --> 00:23:08,185
Professional representation
is where the sport is headed.

413
00:23:08,187 --> 00:23:09,620
So why don't you do
what you do best,

414
00:23:09,622 --> 00:23:11,055
you let me do what I do best.

415
00:23:11,057 --> 00:23:14,091
And what is it exactly
that you do best?

416
00:23:15,428 --> 00:23:17,628
Now you're just
trying to hurt me.

417
00:23:20,031 --> 00:23:23,000
How long have we known each other?
How many years?

418
00:23:23,002 --> 00:23:24,168
I don't know.
Too damn long.

419
00:23:24,170 --> 00:23:27,304
And in that time, we've gone
through a lot of shit together.

420
00:23:27,306 --> 00:23:29,340
- A whole lot.
- Yeah.

421
00:23:29,474 --> 00:23:30,741
I got people ask me
all the time,

422
00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,009
"what's bill Lee, really like?

423
00:23:32,011 --> 00:23:37,047
"Is he really as big of a flake and a
stoner as they make him out to be?"

424
00:23:37,049 --> 00:23:38,482
You know what
I tell those people?

425
00:23:38,484 --> 00:23:40,017
What do you tell those people?

426
00:23:40,019 --> 00:23:41,585
I tell them the truth.

427
00:23:41,587 --> 00:23:42,052
Which is?

428
00:23:42,054 --> 00:23:45,823
I tell them that bill Lee is one
hell of a fine left-handed pitcher.

429
00:23:45,825 --> 00:23:50,194
And he's also one of the most
thoughtful players I've ever met.

430
00:23:50,829 --> 00:23:52,863
You're incredibly well-read
and you're bright.

431
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:54,465
And I've known a lot
of great players in my time

432
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:56,767
but I've never known
another one like you.

433
00:23:56,769 --> 00:23:57,968
But you gotta face it, kid.

434
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:00,204
Business is not
your strong suit.

435
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:05,042
So, come on board.

436
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:07,645
And let's get you
back where you belong.

437
00:24:07,647 --> 00:24:09,647
On a major league mound.

438
00:24:18,190 --> 00:24:21,258
<i>Viva la</i> spaceman!

439
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:23,861
Here.

440
00:24:23,863 --> 00:24:26,063
Let me buy you a real drink.

441
00:24:26,999 --> 00:24:30,501
No, no, no, no, no. I gotta be in...
I gotta be in early tonight.

442
00:24:30,503 --> 00:24:32,336
Oh, yeah?
Where do you gotta be?

443
00:24:32,338 --> 00:24:33,037
Got the kids this weekend.

444
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:36,574
Oh, he's got the kids
this weekend.

445
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:39,410
Come on, don't be a pussy.

446
00:24:39,578 --> 00:24:40,945
Just one.

447
00:24:47,586 --> 00:24:49,253
Daddy!
Daddy!

448
00:24:49,255 --> 00:24:50,554
Wake up.
Wake up!

449
00:24:50,556 --> 00:24:51,489
Wake up.
Wake up!

450
00:24:51,491 --> 00:24:53,991
Come on. Wake up!

451
00:24:54,392 --> 00:24:55,860
I got an a on my French test.

452
00:24:55,862 --> 00:24:58,529
Good job there, kiddo.

453
00:24:58,531 --> 00:24:59,864
Show-off.

454
00:24:59,998 --> 00:25:02,166
Are you sad you lost your job?

455
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:04,001
They saw it on the news.

456
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:05,402
Oh, hey.

457
00:25:05,404 --> 00:25:06,837
Should we go to
the park for a bit,

458
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,372
give you a chance
to sleep some more?

459
00:25:08,374 --> 00:25:10,708
No, no, no, no.
I'm up.

460
00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:11,876
I'm up!

461
00:25:11,878 --> 00:25:13,410
We are going to
the history museum today

462
00:25:13,412 --> 00:25:15,880
and we're gonna go check
out the spider pavilion.

463
00:25:15,882 --> 00:25:19,083
Why don't you ask your mom
if she wants to come with us.

464
00:25:19,551 --> 00:25:22,653
You wanna come?
You guys have fun.

465
00:25:22,655 --> 00:25:24,321
Kids, if you need
anything at all, call me.

466
00:25:24,323 --> 00:25:26,657
I'll be at grandma's all weekend.
Okay? Okay.

467
00:25:26,659 --> 00:25:29,760
Love you. Love you
too, mom, bye.

468
00:25:31,496 --> 00:25:33,197
Dad, we're hungry.

469
00:25:33,899 --> 00:25:36,934
All right. Food... You
know where the food's at.

470
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:44,241
Look, it's just temporary.

471
00:25:44,309 --> 00:25:46,777
Your father still has
a lot left in the tank.

472
00:25:46,779 --> 00:25:51,048
And the universe has a way of rewarding
people who are in the right.

473
00:25:51,050 --> 00:25:52,216
We're gonna find a new team.

474
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:54,218
Can I still root for Montreal?

475
00:25:54,220 --> 00:25:57,354
Players. Just not
the management.

476
00:25:57,889 --> 00:25:59,757
What's gonna be the new team?

477
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:01,292
I don't know yet, sweetie.

478
00:26:01,294 --> 00:26:03,294
But, we'll find out soon enough.

479
00:26:08,967 --> 00:26:10,167
Ah...

480
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:14,638
But right now we're gonna
do a little teamwork.

481
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,308
All right, we are
gonna write letters

482
00:26:17,310 --> 00:26:20,511
to every team in the national
league asking for a job.

483
00:26:20,513 --> 00:26:23,480
Should we tell them that your
era was best on the team?

484
00:26:23,482 --> 00:26:25,282
And you were second
in games pitched?

485
00:26:25,284 --> 00:26:27,585
Uh, I think they know
that, sweetheart.

486
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,688
But sometimes people
make mistakes.

487
00:26:30,690 --> 00:26:33,457
They get angry and they lose
control of their emotions.

488
00:26:33,459 --> 00:26:36,193
Have you ever lost control
of your emotions?

489
00:26:36,561 --> 00:26:37,428
Oh, yeah.

490
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:38,429
Yeah, we all do.

491
00:26:38,431 --> 00:26:40,698
It's just part of being a
member of the human species.

492
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:43,667
I thought we were mammals.

493
00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:44,868
We are mammals.

494
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:46,003
We're both.

495
00:26:46,005 --> 00:26:49,173
Mammals is our class
and primate is our order.

496
00:26:49,175 --> 00:26:51,742
You see, that is why
you go to school.

497
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:21,138
Hmm.

498
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:26,076
Hey.
<i>Bonjour.</i> Good morning.

499
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:28,345
My name is Gino Lapue

500
00:27:28,347 --> 00:27:29,680
and this is Claude.

501
00:27:29,682 --> 00:27:31,148
You boys Mormons?

502
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:33,050
'Cause I'm in no mood for
prophesizing this morning.

503
00:27:33,052 --> 00:27:35,586
This soul is far beyond saving.

504
00:27:35,588 --> 00:27:37,388
No, we are not Mormons.

505
00:27:37,390 --> 00:27:39,423
We are from
the Longueuil senators.

506
00:27:39,425 --> 00:27:42,026
Politicians? Shit, now I
wish you were Mormons.

507
00:27:42,028 --> 00:27:44,028
So sorry to disturb you,

508
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:46,797
but we come bearing
an opportunity.

509
00:27:47,432 --> 00:27:52,102
Bill, how much would you
like to be pitching again?

510
00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:54,338
Did you guys buy the team?

511
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:57,975
No, no, we want you
to play for us.

512
00:27:58,143 --> 00:27:58,776
Who's us?

513
00:27:58,778 --> 00:28:01,445
Local church league
softball team?

514
00:28:01,579 --> 00:28:04,381
Um, I manage
the Longueuil senators,

515
00:28:04,383 --> 00:28:06,884
of the Quebec
men's senior league.

516
00:28:06,886 --> 00:28:08,118
Senior league?

517
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,253
Yeah, we play hardball.

518
00:28:09,255 --> 00:28:10,587
Yeah.
Two games a week.

519
00:28:10,589 --> 00:28:11,889
Some very nice players.

520
00:28:11,891 --> 00:28:14,458
Yeah, yeah.
No, <i>Merci Beaucoup.</i>

521
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:16,627
Uh, I don't play
senior baseball.

522
00:28:16,629 --> 00:28:18,529
And who's Marcel
Marceau over here?

523
00:28:18,531 --> 00:28:19,663
And why doesn't he speak?

524
00:28:19,665 --> 00:28:21,265
This is Claude.
This is our catcher.

525
00:28:21,267 --> 00:28:24,068
While he doesn't speak very
much English, but trust me,

526
00:28:24,070 --> 00:28:26,737
he's great behind the plate. Ah.

527
00:28:26,739 --> 00:28:27,938
Listen, listen.

528
00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:31,508
We've already spoken to the
ministry of sports on your behalf.

529
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:35,579
And they agreed to reinstate
your amateur status.

530
00:28:35,581 --> 00:28:36,280
Amateur?

531
00:28:36,282 --> 00:28:38,082
Who the hell are you
showing up on my doorstep

532
00:28:38,084 --> 00:28:39,883
and calling me
amateur, Pepe Le pew?

533
00:28:39,885 --> 00:28:41,885
I'm a big leaguer, goddammit.

534
00:28:41,887 --> 00:28:44,688
I've been to battle with
guys like yaz and Fisk.

535
00:28:44,690 --> 00:28:46,724
Twice the men you'll ever be.

536
00:28:46,726 --> 00:28:47,291
And we know this.

537
00:28:47,293 --> 00:28:50,661
This is why we very much want
you to join our pitching staff.

538
00:28:50,663 --> 00:28:52,730
We play only 10 minutes
away from here.

539
00:28:52,732 --> 00:28:54,531
Against who?
The local Kiwanis club?

540
00:28:54,533 --> 00:28:57,701
Some very competitive teams
from nearby cities.

541
00:28:57,703 --> 00:29:01,638
Uh, Verdun. Sorel.
Mascouche.

542
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,073
Mascouche.
Mascouche is nice.

543
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:04,441
Oh, yeah. Quebec city. Uh...

544
00:29:04,443 --> 00:29:07,878
Trois-rivieres. Yeah. Great
team over in Trois-rivieres.

545
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,180
Great.
Does it pay anything?

546
00:29:16,521 --> 00:29:21,692
Yeah. We may be able to
help with gas money. Maybe.

547
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,627
Yeah, okay, uh, you're
gonna have to speak

548
00:29:23,629 --> 00:29:25,162
with my representatives
on this matter.

549
00:29:25,164 --> 00:29:27,231
We happen to be in
the middle of a very heated

550
00:29:27,233 --> 00:29:29,867
bidding war over
my services at the moment.

551
00:29:29,869 --> 00:29:30,801
Yeah, we understand that.

552
00:29:30,803 --> 00:29:34,371
Okay. This is just an open invitation.
Let's go.

553
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:35,739
Feel free to think it over.

554
00:29:35,741 --> 00:29:38,909
Yeah, sorry, guys, I just
don't see this in the cards.

555
00:29:38,911 --> 00:29:42,146
It's not you, it's me, trust me.
It's just timing.

556
00:29:42,148 --> 00:29:45,749
No problem. We wish
you good luck always.

557
00:29:47,752 --> 00:29:49,052
But hey,

558
00:29:49,888 --> 00:29:53,290
say the stars were
to align for you boys,

559
00:29:53,292 --> 00:29:55,526
how soon would you need me?

560
00:29:56,394 --> 00:29:59,530
We have a game tomorrow night.

561
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:00,531
Could I hit cleanup?

562
00:30:00,533 --> 00:30:03,133
You can hit anywhere
you want in the lineup.

563
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:04,601
Anywhere.

564
00:30:05,270 --> 00:30:07,704
Just think about it,
but no pressure, huh?

565
00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,408
All right, well, maybe I'll
stop by and say hello sometime.

566
00:30:11,410 --> 00:30:12,242
Anytime.

567
00:30:12,244 --> 00:30:14,812
Spaceman.

568
00:30:14,814 --> 00:30:16,547
All right.

569
00:30:16,915 --> 00:30:23,854
"To whom
it may concern..."

570
00:30:25,123 --> 00:30:26,156
Oh, let me sign it.
I gotta sign it.

571
00:30:26,158 --> 00:30:30,260
<i>The truth is, I wasn't ready for
the damn beer leagues quite yet.</i>

572
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:34,097
<i>No disrespect, but I still
wanted to strike out Garvey,</i>

573
00:30:34,099 --> 00:30:36,300
<i>not Jacques from accounting.</i>

574
00:30:36,302 --> 00:30:37,568
<i>My brood and I sat down together</i>

575
00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:41,738
<i>and sent letters to each of the
other 11 national league teams.</i>

576
00:30:41,740 --> 00:30:44,641
<i>They were heartfelt and honest.</i>

577
00:30:44,643 --> 00:30:46,210
<i>Now it was just
a matter of sitting back</i>

578
00:30:46,212 --> 00:30:49,179
<i>and waiting to see which club
made the most attractive offer.</i>

579
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:55,552
<i>And like a good Buddhist, I intended to
stay entirely unattached to the results.</i>

580
00:31:02,894 --> 00:31:04,528
Hey.

581
00:31:26,017 --> 00:31:27,517
What the...

582
00:31:43,435 --> 00:31:45,202
Sully...

583
00:31:45,204 --> 00:31:46,270
Sully, you cocksucker.

584
00:31:46,272 --> 00:31:47,437
What are you doing with my mail?

585
00:31:47,439 --> 00:31:49,206
What are you doing?
Are you in on this?

586
00:31:49,208 --> 00:31:51,575
I... no. I'm not in on nothing.
Where's the rest of my mail?

587
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,477
I'm delivering the mail.

588
00:31:53,479 --> 00:31:54,511
You let go of my bag.

589
00:31:54,513 --> 00:31:57,214
Give it to me. I'm a
government employee!

590
00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:14,331
That's not yours.
So long, Sully.

591
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:15,465
See you tomorrow.
Okay!

592
00:32:21,739 --> 00:32:24,241
- Hey, hey!
- What?

593
00:32:24,243 --> 00:32:25,575
Pittsburgh!

594
00:32:25,577 --> 00:32:26,677
What?
Pittsburgh.

595
00:32:26,679 --> 00:32:30,414
Yep. You know, I always
wanted to live in Pittsburgh.

596
00:32:30,416 --> 00:32:32,249
Really?
No, well...

597
00:32:32,251 --> 00:32:33,583
You know, all right.

598
00:32:33,585 --> 00:32:34,952
"Dear bill. Thank you
for your thoughtful letter.

599
00:32:34,954 --> 00:32:37,688
"Indeed, we finished last
season in dead last place.

600
00:32:37,690 --> 00:32:40,524
"Yes, our pitching staff
is in such dire shape

601
00:32:40,526 --> 00:32:43,927
"that we don't know how we are
going to get through this season."

602
00:32:45,864 --> 00:32:50,867
"However, we have enough problems
without adding you to the mix.

603
00:32:50,869 --> 00:32:54,938
"We will not be requiring
your services at this time."

604
00:32:56,941 --> 00:32:58,976
Hey, you know what?

605
00:33:00,578 --> 00:33:02,079
Fuck those guys.

606
00:33:02,081 --> 00:33:03,947
Fuck 'em.

607
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:06,516
We got a positive
mental attitude.

608
00:33:07,285 --> 00:33:10,087
That's' the way
to survive, my friend.

609
00:33:10,089 --> 00:33:12,422
Positive mental attitude.

610
00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:19,262
Where are you going?
It's in overtime.

611
00:34:52,156 --> 00:34:53,356
Here's one.

612
00:34:53,358 --> 00:34:56,126
Why do Canadians
do it doggy style?

613
00:34:56,627 --> 00:34:59,162
So they can both watch
the hockey game.

614
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:03,600
Hey, fellas.

615
00:35:03,868 --> 00:35:05,569
Bill Lee.
Hmm.

616
00:35:06,270 --> 00:35:10,807
So, uh, who do I speak to about
getting a Jersey around here?

617
00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:13,944
Well, the equipment manager,
he'll be back in a sec.

618
00:35:13,946 --> 00:35:16,913
He just ran out to
pick up the catering.

619
00:35:18,217 --> 00:35:21,585
There's a Jersey and cap
in the garbage bag over there.

620
00:35:21,587 --> 00:35:24,988
We supply our own pants,
shoe and well,

621
00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:27,557
everything else.

622
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:30,927
Yeah, well,

623
00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:32,896
I usually wear 37.

624
00:35:34,866 --> 00:35:36,199
Not today.

625
00:35:48,579 --> 00:35:49,646
Welcome.

626
00:35:49,648 --> 00:35:51,148
Oh, hey.
Hey.

627
00:35:52,618 --> 00:35:54,918
So, did you meet
some of the guys?

628
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,621
Yeah, it's a tough group.

629
00:35:57,623 --> 00:35:58,355
Yeah.

630
00:35:58,357 --> 00:36:00,690
So, where's
the rest of the team?

631
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:04,194
So far, we only have
eight today.

632
00:36:04,196 --> 00:36:07,931
It is sometimes a challenge to
field with guys, unfortunately.

633
00:36:07,933 --> 00:36:08,298
Oh, Christ.

634
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:12,369
Well, like I said, this is
a one night stand, so...

635
00:36:12,371 --> 00:36:12,736
Yeah.

636
00:36:12,738 --> 00:36:16,106
Any real fans coming to these
games or just local hobos?

637
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,074
Mostly hobos.

638
00:36:18,076 --> 00:36:19,543
Nervous?

639
00:36:19,545 --> 00:36:23,680
Ah... no. No.

640
00:36:24,315 --> 00:36:25,682
Well...

641
00:36:26,517 --> 00:36:28,451
You better start
warming up, big guy.

642
00:36:28,453 --> 00:36:30,854
We're playing
new Brunswick tonight.

643
00:36:30,856 --> 00:36:33,790
They are the league champions
three years running.

644
00:36:33,792 --> 00:36:35,225
Oh, okay.

645
00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:39,663
Hmm.

646
00:36:41,832 --> 00:36:43,233
Thank you.

647
00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:49,372
What are they saying?

648
00:36:50,174 --> 00:36:51,508
Nothing good.

649
00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:54,711
Basically, they would like nothing
more than to beat us to a bloody pulp

650
00:36:54,713 --> 00:36:57,781
and then mount your head
on their wall for posterity.

651
00:36:57,783 --> 00:36:58,615
Okay, I get it.

652
00:36:58,617 --> 00:37:02,686
It's hunting season
and I'm the prized caribou.

653
00:37:03,054 --> 00:37:04,688
The biggest rack.

654
00:37:04,690 --> 00:37:06,456
Well, guess what?

655
00:37:06,724 --> 00:37:08,491
I live for this shit.

656
00:37:20,671 --> 00:37:25,775
Uh, I think you missed the exit for the
ice rink. This is baseball, frenchie.

657
00:37:25,777 --> 00:37:30,547
All right, listen, I throw all kinds
of shit, so I hope you can keep up.

658
00:37:30,549 --> 00:37:32,249
My bread and butter
is the off-speed stuff.

659
00:37:32,251 --> 00:37:35,685
Sliders, curves,
the occasional eephus.

660
00:37:35,687 --> 00:37:37,020
You with me?

661
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:40,090
Okay, don't ask for a fastball

662
00:37:40,092 --> 00:37:41,224
because you ain't
getting it. All right?

663
00:37:41,226 --> 00:37:43,526
There are only have so many silver
bullets left in the chamber

664
00:37:43,528 --> 00:37:47,330
for guys like me and I sure as
fuck ain't wasting them out here.

665
00:37:48,366 --> 00:37:49,633
Got it?

666
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:53,069
Oh, Christ. Can somebody
please translate?

667
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:55,939
Hey.
Hey.

668
00:37:56,274 --> 00:38:00,543
Let's start anew here. My name is
bill Lee, formerly of nos amours.

669
00:38:00,545 --> 00:38:03,013
Joseph Cartwright,
formerly of El Detroit.

670
00:38:03,015 --> 00:38:04,447
Oh, the tigers?

671
00:38:04,449 --> 00:38:05,915
United auto workers.

672
00:38:05,917 --> 00:38:07,484
Oh. So you transferred?

673
00:38:07,486 --> 00:38:11,554
Uh, no, laid off. Married
a Quebecois woman and...

674
00:38:11,556 --> 00:38:13,690
Here we are.

675
00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:19,596
Oh, shit! Don't look now but I think I
just spotted a scout in the stands.

676
00:38:20,931 --> 00:38:21,798
That ain't no damn scout.

677
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,868
Definitely is. I think I
recognize him from Minnesota.

678
00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:26,536
Trust me. It's not.

679
00:38:26,538 --> 00:38:27,971
How do you know?

680
00:38:28,105 --> 00:38:29,172
That's my father-in-law.

681
00:38:29,174 --> 00:38:33,009
Hi! Woman next to him is
my wife, unfortunately.

682
00:38:33,844 --> 00:38:34,077
Hmm.

683
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:38,248
Oh, I could've swore I
recognized him from the majors.

684
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:40,450
Anyway, tell frenchie here
that it's gonna be

685
00:38:40,452 --> 00:38:42,218
the third signal in the series.

686
00:38:42,220 --> 00:38:43,386
No fastballs.

687
00:38:48,793 --> 00:38:51,728
Just tell him to trust me,
I know what I'm doing here.

688
00:39:04,375 --> 00:39:07,844
He says that he respects
that you're the big leaguer.

689
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,145
Oh...

690
00:39:09,147 --> 00:39:10,447
Thank you.

691
00:39:44,482 --> 00:39:46,916
Fucking balls!
Yay!

692
00:40:40,171 --> 00:40:41,438
Here.

693
00:40:42,473 --> 00:40:45,074
Me, me, me...

694
00:40:45,076 --> 00:40:46,810
Ugh... oh...

695
00:41:00,324 --> 00:41:01,591
Strike!

696
00:41:14,505 --> 00:41:16,172
<i>And he's
mid-stroke, right?</i>

697
00:41:16,174 --> 00:41:18,208
<i>And all of a sudden he hears
the husband come home.</i>

698
00:41:18,210 --> 00:41:21,377
<i>It must have been summer Fridays
or something. I don't know.</i>

699
00:41:21,379 --> 00:41:22,412
Anyway, he finishes,

700
00:41:22,414 --> 00:41:25,048
he grabs his clothes and
then he jumps out the window

701
00:41:25,050 --> 00:41:27,750
buck naked, into a rose bush,

702
00:41:27,752 --> 00:41:29,652
he's got thorns everywhere.

703
00:41:29,654 --> 00:41:31,087
Goes on the fifteen day dl

704
00:41:31,089 --> 00:41:33,289
and guess what the papers said?
What?

705
00:41:33,291 --> 00:41:35,792
Tendonitis.

706
00:41:35,794 --> 00:41:38,862
And it wasn't me.
I swear to god, it wasn't me.

707
00:41:39,129 --> 00:41:40,597
I'm truly sorry
you're not interested

708
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:41,631
in continuing to play with us.

709
00:41:41,633 --> 00:41:44,033
But you know, you're
always welcome back.

710
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:45,401
Well, thank you, Gino.
I appreciate that.

711
00:41:45,403 --> 00:41:48,204
It's just that I got to figure out
which team I'm gonna be playing with.

712
00:41:48,206 --> 00:41:51,841
I gotta sort out my family situation.
You know the deal.

713
00:41:51,843 --> 00:41:52,809
Of course.

714
00:41:52,811 --> 00:41:55,745
All right, boys,
I'll see you around.

715
00:41:55,747 --> 00:41:57,247
Hey, hey, bill.

716
00:41:58,682 --> 00:41:59,616
Hold up.

717
00:41:59,618 --> 00:42:01,784
Hey, I want you to have this.

718
00:42:01,786 --> 00:42:03,853
No, Joe.
That's your Jersey.

719
00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:06,089
No, no.
You're 37.

720
00:42:06,091 --> 00:42:09,092
I want you to have it.
I insist.

721
00:42:09,426 --> 00:42:11,995
Hey, you might want
to give that a scrub, huh?

722
00:42:11,997 --> 00:42:14,063
Maybe twice.

723
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,234
I appreciate it.

724
00:42:20,237 --> 00:42:22,238
You take care.
Good luck.

725
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:23,806
Later, boys!

726
00:42:26,745 --> 00:42:28,111
Bye, bye.

727
00:42:28,113 --> 00:42:30,446
Yes, hi.
It's dick Dennis.

728
00:42:30,448 --> 00:42:33,216
Uh, just following up again.

729
00:42:34,084 --> 00:42:35,618
Yeah.

730
00:42:36,086 --> 00:42:37,820
Well, just, uh,
let him know that I called.

731
00:42:37,822 --> 00:42:42,091
And, uh, you know, we have to have
an answer by the end of the week,

732
00:42:42,093 --> 00:42:43,259
or else we're left
with no choice,

733
00:42:43,261 --> 00:42:45,094
we gotta move on down the list.

734
00:42:45,096 --> 00:42:48,631
I know I said that last week,
but I mean it now.

735
00:42:48,633 --> 00:42:49,866
I mean.

736
00:42:49,868 --> 00:42:52,535
Just tell him
I called. Okay?

737
00:42:59,977 --> 00:43:02,946
Really? We have a
symbiotic relationship.

738
00:43:02,948 --> 00:43:04,547
You are a server.
I am a consumer.

739
00:43:04,549 --> 00:43:06,716
If you do not serve,
I cannot consume,

740
00:43:06,718 --> 00:43:09,886
and therefore, you throw
the delicate ecosystem

741
00:43:09,888 --> 00:43:12,088
of our relationship
out of balance.

742
00:43:12,090 --> 00:43:14,557
So another, <i>s'il vous plait</i>

743
00:43:14,559 --> 00:43:16,693
I... I don't got
anymore of that.

744
00:43:16,695 --> 00:43:18,728
Oh, but, did you see this? What?

745
00:43:18,730 --> 00:43:20,930
A petition being circulated
by the YMCA

746
00:43:20,932 --> 00:43:24,734
on bill's behalf, urging
the team to bring him back.

747
00:43:24,736 --> 00:43:25,902
Hmm. Good.

748
00:43:25,904 --> 00:43:28,137
Montreal is a good fall back.

749
00:43:28,139 --> 00:43:30,707
Oh, so, you haven't heard?
Heard what?

750
00:43:30,709 --> 00:43:35,478
Well, word's getting around they
already decided to give him a shot.

751
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:36,613
When?

752
00:43:36,615 --> 00:43:38,147
When hell freezes over.

753
00:43:38,149 --> 00:43:41,217
He's starting and hitting
cleanup.

754
00:43:41,219 --> 00:43:43,286
I'm glad you find this funny.

755
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:45,154
It's just a man's life
you're talking about.

756
00:43:45,156 --> 00:43:48,658
I'm not naming any names but I'm
telling you this is a reliable source.

757
00:43:48,660 --> 00:43:53,162
People tell you funny things when
you're pouring their gin and tonics.

758
00:43:54,732 --> 00:43:56,666
Montreal's
a non-starter?

759
00:43:56,668 --> 00:44:00,036
It's not just here,
it's all of baseball, man.

760
00:44:00,038 --> 00:44:01,771
Owners talk to each other.

761
00:44:01,773 --> 00:44:04,340
He's 86'd.
He's blackballed.

762
00:44:04,342 --> 00:44:06,342
Call it whatever
the fuck you want.

763
00:44:06,344 --> 00:44:07,577
He's done.

764
00:44:07,579 --> 00:44:08,277
Bullshit!

765
00:44:08,279 --> 00:44:11,314
Bullshit. I mean... Bill's a...
he's a, he's a veteran left-hander.

766
00:44:11,316 --> 00:44:14,117
He's got four or five years
left in his arm.

767
00:44:14,119 --> 00:44:15,952
You got to be kidding me.

768
00:44:15,954 --> 00:44:17,587
I love bill, you know that.

769
00:44:17,589 --> 00:44:18,621
He's one of my best customers.

770
00:44:18,623 --> 00:44:21,290
But you know what,
he's not getting any younger.

771
00:44:21,292 --> 00:44:23,693
He's walked off teams
in two countries,

772
00:44:23,695 --> 00:44:26,095
and he's publicly said
he smokes dope.

773
00:44:26,097 --> 00:44:28,297
Come on. Admit it,
the guy's a real liability.

774
00:44:28,299 --> 00:44:32,101
Whatever bill does off the
field is bill's business.

775
00:44:32,103 --> 00:44:32,535
Nobody else's.

776
00:44:32,537 --> 00:44:35,004
He said in print that the
commissioner would be a rich man

777
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:37,874
if he fined everyone in
baseball who smoked grass.

778
00:44:37,876 --> 00:44:41,344
You can't say things like that
without suffering consequences.

779
00:44:41,346 --> 00:44:42,445
Well, it's the truth.

780
00:44:42,447 --> 00:44:43,846
Besides, he meant it in jest.

781
00:44:43,848 --> 00:44:44,881
You know bill, he's a joker.

782
00:44:44,883 --> 00:44:47,617
It's like... He's shecky
Greene with a curveball.

783
00:44:47,619 --> 00:44:49,052
Oh, really? Guess what. Yeah.

784
00:44:49,054 --> 00:44:53,322
Owners don't want jokers, they don't
want jokes, they want profits.

785
00:44:53,324 --> 00:44:56,359
Well, he puts asses
in the seats, fans love him.

786
00:44:56,361 --> 00:44:58,461
If you are his friend,
you better tell him

787
00:44:58,463 --> 00:45:01,297
he's got to stop
spinning his wheels.

788
00:45:01,299 --> 00:45:04,167
Oh, I can't do that.
Why not?

789
00:45:06,136 --> 00:45:08,137
It'd break his heart.

790
00:45:08,706 --> 00:45:10,540
Bill Lee was born
to play baseball.

791
00:45:10,542 --> 00:45:13,042
It's what he was meant to do.

792
00:45:14,778 --> 00:45:16,312
It's his identity.

793
00:45:16,314 --> 00:45:19,048
Help him find
a whole new identity.

794
00:45:19,750 --> 00:45:20,883
And soon.

795
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:24,554
If he hears this from anybody,
he hears it from me. You got it?

796
00:45:24,556 --> 00:45:29,092
Fine. He's all yours.
Just do it, all right?

797
00:45:29,094 --> 00:45:31,327
Stop making those phone calls.

798
00:45:37,502 --> 00:45:39,535
Come in.

799
00:45:44,875 --> 00:45:46,442
Come in!

800
00:45:48,445 --> 00:45:50,913
Oh, Dickie Dennis.
What's up?

801
00:45:50,915 --> 00:45:52,815
Oh, you're in training, I see.

802
00:45:52,817 --> 00:45:55,184
Can I get you something to drink?
You want coffee?

803
00:45:55,186 --> 00:45:56,953
I don't want no coffee.

804
00:45:57,321 --> 00:45:58,888
Something a little stronger?

805
00:45:58,890 --> 00:46:01,290
Well, if you're
gonna have one, sure.

806
00:46:01,292 --> 00:46:02,859
All right.

807
00:46:03,594 --> 00:46:04,761
So what's up?

808
00:46:04,763 --> 00:46:07,930
Ah, just... How's the letter
writing campaign going?

809
00:46:07,932 --> 00:46:10,066
Well, it's going. It's going.
Yeah?

810
00:46:10,068 --> 00:46:14,871
The lack of common courtesy
these days. I swear to god.

811
00:46:16,140 --> 00:46:18,608
Hey, you know the best
thing about being single?

812
00:46:18,610 --> 00:46:19,575
What's that?

813
00:46:19,577 --> 00:46:21,344
You get to...

814
00:46:21,346 --> 00:46:22,945
whenever you want.

815
00:46:23,782 --> 00:46:26,783
Thanks for sharing, man.

816
00:46:27,484 --> 00:46:30,753
Now, I, uh...

817
00:46:30,755 --> 00:46:32,088
You know,
I've been thinking that

818
00:46:32,090 --> 00:46:35,858
we need to start looking
at whole new avenues.

819
00:46:35,860 --> 00:46:37,693
I mean, a fresh start.

820
00:46:37,761 --> 00:46:38,795
I agree.

821
00:46:38,797 --> 00:46:40,897
You do?
Absolutely.

822
00:46:40,899 --> 00:46:41,364
Really?
Yep.

823
00:46:41,366 --> 00:46:45,201
I think it's damn well time we
reach out to the American league.

824
00:46:45,869 --> 00:46:48,237
Oh, that's not
what I had in mind, bill.

825
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,039
Hey, check this out.

826
00:46:50,607 --> 00:46:51,974
So...

827
00:46:52,676 --> 00:46:55,745
The grip I got for my new
slider, you see that?

828
00:46:56,747 --> 00:46:58,080
Yeah?

829
00:46:58,082 --> 00:46:59,248
I want you to keep
this between us,

830
00:46:59,250 --> 00:47:01,884
but I would even consider
a minor league assignment.

831
00:47:01,886 --> 00:47:04,520
Minor leagues? Oh, come on.
Temporarily...

832
00:47:04,522 --> 00:47:06,455
Work my way back up to the show.
No.

833
00:47:06,457 --> 00:47:08,591
I would do whatever it takes.

834
00:47:08,593 --> 00:47:10,193
The spaceman is a big leaguer.

835
00:47:10,195 --> 00:47:14,497
Big leaguers do not play
in the minor leagues.

836
00:47:14,499 --> 00:47:15,631
You don't want to be known as

837
00:47:15,633 --> 00:47:19,302
the guy who doesn't know when
it's time to leave the party.

838
00:47:19,304 --> 00:47:23,272
Yeah, well, I threw nine innings the
other day and it felt pretty good.

839
00:47:24,575 --> 00:47:25,875
For who?

840
00:47:26,076 --> 00:47:27,844
It was, uh...

841
00:47:27,846 --> 00:47:30,379
Senior team over in Longueuil.

842
00:47:30,381 --> 00:47:32,181
Oh, fuck, bill!

843
00:47:32,183 --> 00:47:33,216
Are you serious?

844
00:47:33,218 --> 00:47:34,350
Oh, what's the big deal?

845
00:47:34,352 --> 00:47:36,752
What if the press
finds out about this, huh?

846
00:47:36,754 --> 00:47:40,756
What? So, so what? It's
fucking embarrassing!

847
00:47:41,325 --> 00:47:42,959
What? Maybe not to you.

848
00:47:42,961 --> 00:47:44,961
But it's embarrassing.
It reeks of desperation.

849
00:47:44,963 --> 00:47:49,065
And there's no deodorant in the world
that will hide the smell for desperation.

850
00:47:49,067 --> 00:47:50,166
I don't give a shit about
any of that stuff.

851
00:47:50,168 --> 00:47:54,203
That is for the writers and
historians to worry about, not me.

852
00:47:54,205 --> 00:47:55,605
I just wanna play ball.

853
00:48:02,913 --> 00:48:05,147
Well, this is what I want.

854
00:48:06,049 --> 00:48:07,817
I want to get you in a room
with a tape recorder

855
00:48:07,819 --> 00:48:11,921
and a jigger of vodka and we're
gonna get your stories down.

856
00:48:11,923 --> 00:48:13,856
We're gonna record them.
All of them.

857
00:48:13,858 --> 00:48:18,294
And then I'll write it. You know.
Yeah. Of course, you will.

858
00:48:18,762 --> 00:48:20,963
Well, I'm a writer, god damn it.

859
00:48:23,367 --> 00:48:26,469
It has every element, every
element of a best seller.

860
00:48:26,471 --> 00:48:30,172
We're gonna call it
<i>the wrong stuff.</i>

861
00:48:30,674 --> 00:48:31,474
<i>The wrong stuff?</i>

862
00:48:31,476 --> 00:48:34,877
You see, it's a... It's a takeoff on
that book about the astronauts...

863
00:48:34,879 --> 00:48:37,213
No, no, no. I get it,
the tom Wolfe book.

864
00:48:37,215 --> 00:48:38,848
Okay, listen to this,

865
00:48:38,850 --> 00:48:40,816
I ain't ready to write
my memoirs yet, dick.

866
00:48:40,818 --> 00:48:42,785
I'm ready to pitch.
To keep pitching

867
00:48:42,787 --> 00:48:44,287
because that's what I do
and I do it damn well.

868
00:48:44,289 --> 00:48:48,691
And I'm not desperate. I just want
to share my gift with the world.

869
00:48:48,693 --> 00:48:49,058
Okay?

870
00:48:49,060 --> 00:48:53,062
Now I'm gonna go shower, and
then we're gonna go get a drink.

871
00:48:54,464 --> 00:48:56,532
Well, good. 'Cause I didn't
want to say anything

872
00:48:56,534 --> 00:48:59,502
but the fart was
an improvement on the B.O.

873
00:49:03,407 --> 00:49:06,776
<i>I wasn't just gonna sit
around by the phone anymore.</i>

874
00:49:06,778 --> 00:49:09,345
<i>I needed to get out
and be among the people.</i>

875
00:49:09,347 --> 00:49:10,446
<i>My people.</i>

876
00:49:10,448 --> 00:49:12,448
<i>You know, schmooze.</i>

877
00:49:12,450 --> 00:49:17,453
<i>And when you're a pro athlete, fans
never let you buy your own drinks.</i>

878
00:49:18,155 --> 00:49:18,988
<i>The trade-off</i>

879
00:49:18,990 --> 00:49:22,124
<i>is answering
a hell of a lot of questions.</i>

880
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:23,793
Bill.
Yeah?

881
00:49:23,795 --> 00:49:25,094
You a, uh, you a religious man?

882
00:49:25,096 --> 00:49:29,832
I'm a Roman catholic
Rastafarian zen Buddhist.

883
00:49:29,834 --> 00:49:34,503
Hey, you hear about the Jewish guy who
converted to Catholicism? Yeah...

884
00:49:34,505 --> 00:49:37,807
He gave up guilt for lent.

885
00:49:37,874 --> 00:49:40,309
Hey, uh, hey, spaceman yeah?

886
00:49:40,311 --> 00:49:40,876
You still get high?

887
00:49:40,878 --> 00:49:44,647
I have always been in favor of
drug testing in sports. Yes.

888
00:49:44,649 --> 00:49:46,349
Really?
Yeah, I like to test them all.

889
00:49:46,351 --> 00:49:49,652
I don't know how
the hell you do it, man.

890
00:49:49,654 --> 00:49:51,620
Everything in moderation.

891
00:49:51,622 --> 00:49:53,356
Including moderation.

892
00:49:55,759 --> 00:49:57,460
Keep it, keep it.

893
00:49:58,695 --> 00:50:00,763
So, what other avenues we got?

894
00:50:00,765 --> 00:50:04,233
Oh, I, uh...
Circling the bases.

895
00:50:04,235 --> 00:50:06,068
Beautiful. What about Detroit?
Yeah.

896
00:50:06,070 --> 00:50:08,304
Um, conference call
with them next week.

897
00:50:08,306 --> 00:50:09,939
What do you think
about California?

898
00:50:09,941 --> 00:50:12,842
I can absolutely deal with
living in socal again.

899
00:50:12,844 --> 00:50:15,111
Can hang out with
my buddies from the eagles.

900
00:50:15,113 --> 00:50:16,479
They've got
great grass out there.

901
00:50:16,481 --> 00:50:18,280
We're gonna get you a place
inside Disneyland.

902
00:50:18,282 --> 00:50:20,282
You can just walk over
to the ball park.

903
00:50:20,284 --> 00:50:23,719
They'll love you there, there'll be
lines all the way out to the gate

904
00:50:23,721 --> 00:50:26,522
for the bill Lee
space mountain man.

905
00:50:27,725 --> 00:50:30,426
Fuck that, man. Fuck that.
Let's not talk about business.

906
00:50:30,428 --> 00:50:34,163
Tonight is a night for a good time,
my friend. A good fucking time.

907
00:50:34,165 --> 00:50:37,566
All right, it works for me. A
body in motion stays in motion.

908
00:50:37,568 --> 00:50:39,702
Basic physics.
Let's circulate.

909
00:50:39,704 --> 00:50:42,405
Party, Einstein, party!

910
00:51:55,245 --> 00:51:56,178
<i>Somehow,</i>

911
00:51:56,180 --> 00:51:59,415
<i>things eventually went
from bad to worse.</i>

912
00:51:59,417 --> 00:52:02,885
<i>I even rented out my basement
to a drug dealer.</i>

913
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,761
What? No, no, I'm good.

914
00:52:13,897 --> 00:52:15,664
No, that's rent.

915
00:52:15,666 --> 00:52:20,603
What? For a full month's
room and board? Really?

916
00:52:20,804 --> 00:52:24,306
Yeah and that should
cover utilities.

917
00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:32,848
Thank you, Gustavo.
Got it.

918
00:52:32,850 --> 00:52:34,717
Hey, you got toilet paper?

919
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,352
Yeah, man.

920
00:52:48,465 --> 00:52:52,535
<i>I started partying harder
than ever to numb myself</i>

921
00:52:52,537 --> 00:52:58,407
<i>and there was no shortage of
other degenerates to hang with.</i>

922
00:52:59,142 --> 00:53:00,876
Good morning.

923
00:53:20,864 --> 00:53:22,565
Are you okay?

924
00:53:23,533 --> 00:53:25,000
You okay?

925
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:44,380
Hey. How's, uh, how's my
favorite mother-in-law?

926
00:54:47,617 --> 00:54:49,385
It's bill.

927
00:54:50,086 --> 00:54:52,221
What does he want?

928
00:54:52,223 --> 00:54:54,156
<i>What is it, bill?</i>

929
00:54:54,158 --> 00:54:54,890
Great news.

930
00:54:54,892 --> 00:54:58,127
I decided that it's time
to start playing ball again.

931
00:54:58,129 --> 00:55:00,763
Hmm. L.A.? You always
loved the climate there.

932
00:55:00,765 --> 00:55:06,702
No, it's actually a senior team just
across the river over in Longueuil.

933
00:55:06,704 --> 00:55:07,603
Long what?

934
00:55:07,605 --> 00:55:10,372
Longueuil.
Just across the river.

935
00:55:10,374 --> 00:55:11,573
Oh. Oh, it's nice over there.

936
00:55:11,575 --> 00:55:14,576
I just didn't realize they had a pro team.
<i>They don't.</i>

937
00:55:14,578 --> 00:55:16,845
It's a goddamn
geriatric league team.

938
00:55:16,847 --> 00:55:19,481
But you know what,
it will help me stay sharp.

939
00:55:19,483 --> 00:55:21,517
Do scouts come to these games?

940
00:55:21,519 --> 00:55:22,418
<i>You never know.</i>

941
00:55:22,420 --> 00:55:25,688
You know, I'm starting
tomorrow night's game,

942
00:55:25,690 --> 00:55:28,524
thought maybe
you could bring the kids by,

943
00:55:28,526 --> 00:55:30,192
watch their old man pitch again.

944
00:55:30,194 --> 00:55:33,462
Oh, I don't know. You know,
they have so much homework.

945
00:55:33,464 --> 00:55:34,797
It's tough during the week...

946
00:55:34,799 --> 00:55:37,299
Well, I can pick 'em up
from school,

947
00:55:37,301 --> 00:55:39,535
and I thought maybe
afterwards...

948
00:55:39,537 --> 00:55:40,969
Maybe you and I could...

949
00:55:40,971 --> 00:55:43,806
<i>I really don't think
it's a good idea, bill.</i>

950
00:55:43,907 --> 00:55:47,076
They're just getting
used to the adjustment.

951
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:48,444
Maybe next time.

952
00:55:48,446 --> 00:55:49,745
Look, if you really want
to spend more time with them,

953
00:55:49,747 --> 00:55:53,515
Andy's been asking me all week if
you can come to one of his games.

954
00:55:53,517 --> 00:55:54,783
<i>He's pitching now.</i>

955
00:55:54,785 --> 00:55:57,152
They can bring their
homework to the ballpark,

956
00:55:57,154 --> 00:55:58,854
all right, just, please.

957
00:55:58,856 --> 00:56:00,322
Just bring 'em by.

958
00:56:00,324 --> 00:56:02,758
Bill.
Yeah?

959
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,226
Good luck.

960
00:56:08,498 --> 00:56:10,966
<i>Thank god for my
buddies from Longueuil.</i>

961
00:56:10,968 --> 00:56:13,902
<i>Because I probably would have
ended up just like Elvis...</i>

962
00:56:13,904 --> 00:56:15,504
<i>Dead on the can
with my pants down</i>

963
00:56:15,506 --> 00:56:17,506
<i>if they hadn't welcomed
me back to the ball club.</i>

964
00:56:17,508 --> 00:56:22,010
<i>I knew this was a universe away from
even being in the minor leagues.</i>

965
00:56:22,012 --> 00:56:24,613
<i>But at least it was baseball.</i>

966
00:56:24,615 --> 00:56:26,382
<i>Well, sort of.</i>

967
00:56:26,384 --> 00:56:30,252
Hey, hey.

968
00:56:31,688 --> 00:56:34,490
Whoa? Columbian?

969
00:56:34,657 --> 00:56:36,592
Jamaican special blend.

970
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,694
And it ain't coffee.

971
00:56:39,963 --> 00:56:40,629
Is this what I think it is?

972
00:56:40,631 --> 00:56:45,000
Ganja resin straight from
the fields of Kingston, man.

973
00:56:47,937 --> 00:56:49,071
Ooh...

974
00:56:49,073 --> 00:56:51,340
Bullshit.

975
00:56:51,441 --> 00:56:53,175
Only one way to find out.

976
00:56:53,177 --> 00:56:56,345
You crazy, man? We have
a game in 20 minutes.

977
00:56:56,446 --> 00:56:57,880
Perfect.

978
00:56:58,014 --> 00:56:59,114
You're nuts, Lee.

979
00:56:59,116 --> 00:57:01,216
Well, that very well
may be true, king.

980
00:57:01,218 --> 00:57:03,719
Hey, you ever studied the Bible?

981
00:57:04,421 --> 00:57:05,020
Maybe.

982
00:57:05,022 --> 00:57:07,456
Well, it says that
on the sixth day

983
00:57:07,458 --> 00:57:09,124
god created women, right?

984
00:57:09,192 --> 00:57:09,658
Okay.

985
00:57:09,660 --> 00:57:12,227
But on the seventh day,
he didn't rest.

986
00:57:12,229 --> 00:57:14,496
He gave us this
wonderful game of baseball.

987
00:57:14,498 --> 00:57:18,300
That's why there were so many
doubleheaders on Sundays, as a tribute.

988
00:57:18,302 --> 00:57:22,671
But today, he gave us this
big old coffee can of ganja.

989
00:57:23,441 --> 00:57:25,407
Man, I haven't gotten high
since college.

990
00:57:25,409 --> 00:57:27,342
Shit makes me paranoid.

991
00:57:27,344 --> 00:57:28,744
Come on, Joe.

992
00:57:28,746 --> 00:57:31,013
Who are we even playing today?

993
00:57:31,181 --> 00:57:32,481
Sorel, they suck.

994
00:57:32,483 --> 00:57:33,882
So do we.

995
00:57:33,884 --> 00:57:35,284
Right.

996
00:57:35,685 --> 00:57:37,286
Hey, guys.

997
00:57:37,954 --> 00:57:40,756
Come on, seriously, come on.

998
00:57:40,758 --> 00:57:42,758
We have to loosen up.

999
00:57:43,359 --> 00:57:45,360
It's depressing out there!

1000
00:57:45,362 --> 00:57:49,097
Thinking is like death, okay?

1001
00:57:49,199 --> 00:57:51,700
They call it "playing
the game" for a reason.

1002
00:57:51,702 --> 00:57:54,136
And we've all been played
this game since we were kids.

1003
00:57:54,138 --> 00:57:55,637
That's a long, long time,

1004
00:57:55,639 --> 00:57:56,371
especially for Larry over there.

1005
00:57:56,373 --> 00:58:00,409
Babe Ruth was Larry's bat boy,
that's how old Larry is.

1006
00:58:00,411 --> 00:58:02,144
And we all know
how to play this game.

1007
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:05,180
Okay, maybe some of us play a
little bit better than others,

1008
00:58:05,182 --> 00:58:06,181
sorry Claude.

1009
00:58:06,183 --> 00:58:08,884
But it's just muscle memory,
that's all.

1010
00:58:09,352 --> 00:58:10,586
Just muscle memory.

1011
00:58:10,588 --> 00:58:14,156
What we're really looking
for here is freedom.

1012
00:58:14,324 --> 00:58:15,557
Isn't that why
we play this game?

1013
00:58:15,559 --> 00:58:19,728
To run out to that emerald
green field and just be free?

1014
00:58:19,730 --> 00:58:20,729
Hell, yeah!

1015
00:58:20,731 --> 00:58:21,263
Look, Joe over here

1016
00:58:21,265 --> 00:58:24,199
just wants to be free of his
naggy-ass wife for a few hours.

1017
00:58:24,201 --> 00:58:25,634
Isn't that right, Joe?

1018
00:58:25,636 --> 00:58:26,401
Pretty much.

1019
00:58:26,403 --> 00:58:29,371
Well, we're all looking
for freedom, boys.

1020
00:58:29,706 --> 00:58:32,307
Even if it's from our own minds.

1021
00:58:32,876 --> 00:58:35,110
Oh, yes. We do.

1022
00:58:35,712 --> 00:58:37,279
Today, boys,

1023
00:58:37,281 --> 00:58:40,315
we are going to free our
minds from our bodies

1024
00:58:40,317 --> 00:58:42,985
and let our instincts take over!

1025
00:58:43,186 --> 00:58:44,620
Today,

1026
00:58:45,755 --> 00:58:48,957
we are gonna pass the proverbial
peace pipe from man to man

1027
00:58:48,959 --> 00:58:52,461
and go out there, without
fear, into the sunshine

1028
00:58:52,463 --> 00:58:54,463
and just be free!

1029
00:58:54,465 --> 00:58:55,597
Now who's with me?

1030
00:58:57,934 --> 00:58:59,301
I'm gonna step into this office

1031
00:58:59,303 --> 00:59:00,903
and I'm gonna hot-box
that motherfucker.

1032
00:59:00,905 --> 00:59:04,373
Now, get in there.
Get in there! Get in there!

1033
00:59:04,375 --> 00:59:07,543
Come on, Joe.
Come on, Larry.

1034
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,780
All right.

1035
00:59:13,783 --> 00:59:17,986
<i>At the plate that day, I went seven
for eight with three home runs.</i>

1036
00:59:17,988 --> 00:59:21,189
<i>Every pitch thrown to me,
no matter how fast,</i>

1037
00:59:21,191 --> 00:59:24,626
<i>arrived at the plate like
a gentle little leaf.</i>

1038
00:59:24,628 --> 00:59:28,163
<i>I could literally count
the seams on the ball.</i>

1039
00:59:28,165 --> 00:59:31,099
<i>All I had to do was
catch it on the end of the bat</i>

1040
00:59:31,101 --> 00:59:34,369
<i>and serve it back
to the universe.</i>

1041
00:59:34,771 --> 00:59:37,039
<i>And in the outfield?</i>

1042
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,775
<i>I felt no urgency whatsoever.</i>

1043
00:59:39,876 --> 00:59:41,410
<i>Take your time, Billy.</i>

1044
00:59:41,412 --> 00:59:45,380
<i>I'll wait for you to get
under me, my friend.</i>

1045
00:59:45,715 --> 00:59:46,214
<i>I love you.</i>

1046
00:59:46,216 --> 00:59:50,218
<i>But on the mound, that is
where I channeled the light.</i>

1047
00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:55,223
<i>I combined the sacrifice of Jesus
with the Patience of Buddha.</i>

1048
00:59:55,225 --> 00:59:57,993
<i>And then mixed in
the control of Sandy Koufax</i>

1049
00:59:57,995 --> 01:00:00,696
<i>just to get a little
Judaism in there.</i>

1050
01:00:01,297 --> 01:00:04,600
<i>I was Vishnu in
a polyester v-neck.</i>

1051
01:00:04,602 --> 01:00:07,936
<i>The batters tried to guess what
pitch I was thinking of throwing,</i>

1052
01:00:07,938 --> 01:00:12,074
<i>but they couldn't because
I'd ceased thought entirely.</i>

1053
01:00:12,076 --> 01:00:16,511
<i>With the magic beans keeping us
loose but percolating all season,</i>

1054
01:00:16,513 --> 01:00:18,814
<i>I'd led Longueuil
straight to the playoffs.</i>

1055
01:00:18,816 --> 01:00:22,384
<i>Forget about the chartered flights
and chauffeured team buses.</i>

1056
01:00:22,386 --> 01:00:25,887
<i>We drove ourselves to the games.</i>

1057
01:00:25,989 --> 01:00:28,724
<i>We played until it got too cold.</i>

1058
01:00:28,726 --> 01:00:30,425
<i>And then we played a bit more.</i>

1059
01:00:30,427 --> 01:00:33,762
<i>Of all the teams I'd been on,
this was...</i>

1060
01:00:33,764 --> 01:00:34,863
<i>Well, this was one of 'em.</i>

1061
01:00:34,865 --> 01:00:39,034
<i>And every game, I'd just hope
that my family would show up</i>

1062
01:00:39,036 --> 01:00:42,004
<i>even just once to watch me play.</i>

1063
01:00:42,805 --> 01:00:47,809
<i>Turns out that if I wanted to spend
quality time with my wife again</i>

1064
01:00:47,811 --> 01:00:49,678
<i>it would have to be in court.</i>

1065
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,582
Uh, Mr. Lee, despite the entertainment
value of your arguments,

1066
01:00:53,584 --> 01:00:58,186
this court hereby awards Mrs. Lee
full custody of the children.

1067
01:00:58,454 --> 01:01:00,155
What?

1068
01:01:00,157 --> 01:01:00,622
Full custody? Why?

1069
01:01:00,624 --> 01:01:04,860
Given the fact that you have rented your
basement to a known narcotics dealer...

1070
01:01:04,862 --> 01:01:07,529
this court herby forbids
any and all visitation

1071
01:01:07,531 --> 01:01:11,800
pending a visit from family
and children's services.

1072
01:01:11,802 --> 01:01:12,467
No visitation?

1073
01:01:12,469 --> 01:01:17,839
This court also awards Mrs. Lee the
duplex in Belmont, Massachusetts.

1074
01:01:17,841 --> 01:01:22,077
- The house in Bellingham, Washington.
- Jesus Christ!

1075
01:01:22,946 --> 01:01:25,414
Settle yourself, Mr. Lee.

1076
01:01:25,548 --> 01:01:28,784
We also awarded
Mrs. Lee the Jeep...

1077
01:01:29,153 --> 01:01:32,421
the BMW, all the furniture...
Yep. Sounds about right.

1078
01:01:32,423 --> 01:01:36,425
And the $150,000 remaining
in the joint bank account.

1079
01:01:36,427 --> 01:01:41,496
Great! Why don't you
just go ahead and take it all.

1080
01:01:43,566 --> 01:01:46,702
To Mr. Lee, we award

1081
01:01:46,704 --> 01:01:49,638
the Volkswagen Van with pop top.

1082
01:01:50,206 --> 01:01:52,307
It's a bus, not a Van.

1083
01:01:53,042 --> 01:01:56,712
The rifle collection,
the Salvador Dali paintings,

1084
01:01:56,714 --> 01:01:59,081
and the remaining
subscriptions to

1085
01:01:59,083 --> 01:02:03,085
<i>field and stream</i>
and <i>weed</i> magazine.

1086
01:02:03,087 --> 01:02:05,387
<i>High times</i> magazine.

1087
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:07,522
Then we are finished here.

1088
01:02:07,524 --> 01:02:12,227
Wait, can you please tell me what
I need to do to see my kids?

1089
01:02:12,328 --> 01:02:13,762
Mr. Lee, we're done.

1090
01:02:13,764 --> 01:02:14,830
No, I'm not going anywhere

1091
01:02:14,832 --> 01:02:18,834
until you tell me what I
need to do to see my kids.

1092
01:02:18,968 --> 01:02:22,804
For starters, you need to rid
your house of criminals.

1093
01:02:22,806 --> 01:02:25,207
And you need to
find gainful employment.

1094
01:02:25,209 --> 01:02:26,575
Look I'm trying.

1095
01:02:27,010 --> 01:02:30,912
I've written letters to every goddamn
major league baseball team out there.

1096
01:02:31,147 --> 01:02:32,047
Mr. Lee.

1097
01:02:32,049 --> 01:02:36,051
You know, perhaps it's time for
you to find a new profession.

1098
01:02:38,387 --> 01:02:40,789
Thank you.
We're done.

1099
01:02:44,460 --> 01:02:46,228
Thank you, your honor.

1100
01:02:46,295 --> 01:02:48,663
Will you get
the next group ready?

1101
01:02:48,665 --> 01:02:51,166
No visitation, really?

1102
01:03:01,110 --> 01:03:02,377
I'm sorry.

1103
01:03:10,287 --> 01:03:13,855
All right, how about some guys, who
can actually hit and throw and catch?

1104
01:03:13,857 --> 01:03:17,292
Real baseball players.
Not just your friends.

1105
01:03:20,663 --> 01:03:22,264
Ooh, ooh, what about
Jimmy Lemond?

1106
01:03:22,266 --> 01:03:25,100
Mmm-mmm. No,
he works nights.

1107
01:03:25,768 --> 01:03:27,936
Uh, Louis Petit?

1108
01:03:27,938 --> 01:03:31,072
No, he, uh, bowling league.

1109
01:03:31,307 --> 01:03:32,808
Bowling?
Yep.

1110
01:03:33,075 --> 01:03:35,010
Bill, any suggestions?

1111
01:03:35,012 --> 01:03:36,745
Uh, I know Mike Schmidt.

1112
01:03:36,747 --> 01:03:40,949
Oh, he's your friend. You
think he may play with us?

1113
01:03:41,250 --> 01:03:42,284
No.

1114
01:03:46,389 --> 01:03:50,492
Uh, no.
No, thank you. Uh...

1115
01:03:50,593 --> 01:03:52,494
Yeah. Yeah.

1116
01:03:55,998 --> 01:03:57,432
Bill?

1117
01:03:59,035 --> 01:04:01,002
I got news!
All right.

1118
01:04:01,004 --> 01:04:02,571
Another round on me.

1119
01:04:03,372 --> 01:04:06,474
What is it, dick? Hey, you
comin' to the game on Sunday?

1120
01:04:06,476 --> 01:04:08,176
Uh, not likely.

1121
01:04:08,178 --> 01:04:13,815
I think that we may have found the proverbial
needle in the haystack, my friend.

1122
01:04:13,817 --> 01:04:16,618
Just got off the phone with
my buddy from San Francisco.

1123
01:04:16,620 --> 01:04:17,152
He owes me a favor.

1124
01:04:17,154 --> 01:04:25,026
And I have gotten you a tryout with San Fran
at their spring training facility in Phoenix.

1125
01:04:25,728 --> 01:04:26,027
When?

1126
01:04:26,029 --> 01:04:29,798
Uh, this Friday. There's
flights through New York.

1127
01:04:29,899 --> 01:04:31,333
Uh...
We've got a huge game

1128
01:04:31,335 --> 01:04:33,435
against new Brunswick on Sunday.

1129
01:04:33,437 --> 01:04:36,571
You got a huge game
against new Brunswick?

1130
01:04:36,772 --> 01:04:38,006
Yeah.
That's an oxymoron, bill.

1131
01:04:38,008 --> 01:04:42,177
There is no such thing as a
huge game against Brunswick.

1132
01:04:43,112 --> 01:04:43,879
Our prayers have been answered

1133
01:04:43,881 --> 01:04:46,114
and quite frankly I didn't think
there was a zero chance in hell

1134
01:04:46,116 --> 01:04:48,884
of it ever happening,
but it has happened.

1135
01:04:48,886 --> 01:04:50,719
And now, you're gonna pass it up

1136
01:04:50,721 --> 01:04:52,387
because you got
a beer league game

1137
01:04:52,389 --> 01:04:55,156
with this bunch of drunk jokers.

1138
01:04:55,158 --> 01:04:56,524
I guess you make
a pretty good point.

1139
01:04:56,526 --> 01:04:57,893
Damn right, I make a good point.

1140
01:04:57,895 --> 01:05:01,029
You can't replace
pine tar with fixodent.

1141
01:05:01,197 --> 01:05:02,931
And you need to get packing.

1142
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:05,133
All right.

1143
01:05:05,135 --> 01:05:07,869
Well, I better hit the road.
Nice work.

1144
01:05:09,405 --> 01:05:12,474
Hey, guys, I better get going.

1145
01:05:12,909 --> 01:05:15,477
Okay, I'll see you on Sunday.
Done?

1146
01:05:15,878 --> 01:05:18,713
Yeah, I'm not gonna be
able to play on Sunday.

1147
01:05:19,615 --> 01:05:19,948
What?

1148
01:05:19,950 --> 01:05:22,050
I gotta get in the bus
and head out to Arizona.

1149
01:05:22,052 --> 01:05:24,219
I got a tryout
with San Francisco.

1150
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,254
Dick over here just set it up.

1151
01:05:27,623 --> 01:05:29,624
Oh, that's great.

1152
01:05:29,626 --> 01:05:32,827
Wait a minute. What about all the
crap you've been feeding us about

1153
01:05:32,829 --> 01:05:33,395
all the glitz and greed

1154
01:05:33,397 --> 01:05:36,231
and disloyalty at the major league level.
I know. I know.

1155
01:05:36,233 --> 01:05:38,833
That was just me
bullshitting me.

1156
01:05:39,302 --> 01:05:40,201
If I don't leave this town soon

1157
01:05:40,203 --> 01:05:43,705
I'm gonna end up bankrupt or dead.
Probably both.

1158
01:05:43,707 --> 01:05:44,539
He's going to go.

1159
01:05:44,541 --> 01:05:48,209
Well, man, do what you gotta do.

1160
01:05:48,811 --> 01:05:53,248
Hey, I love each and every one of you
guys like brothers. I mean that.

1161
01:05:53,816 --> 01:05:55,250
Okay?

1162
01:05:55,252 --> 01:05:55,884
I'll see you around.

1163
01:05:55,886 --> 01:05:58,653
I'll leave you tickets at
will call in San Francisco.

1164
01:05:58,655 --> 01:06:00,689
Hey, what about your tab?

1165
01:06:00,691 --> 01:06:02,190
Oh, yeah!

1166
01:06:02,425 --> 01:06:03,625
"Oh, yeah"?

1167
01:06:03,627 --> 01:06:06,561
"Oh, yeah," what?
Okay, you're on.

1168
01:06:06,563 --> 01:06:08,997
I'm puttin' him on you.
But I'm not payin' his tab.

1169
01:06:08,999 --> 01:06:11,399
Yes you are. Somebody is.
The hell no.

1170
01:06:11,401 --> 01:06:11,833
Nah.
Sucker!

1171
01:06:11,835 --> 01:06:15,370
You guys have been sitting here all day.
Someone's gotta pay it.

1172
01:07:49,932 --> 01:07:50,765
Hey, boys.
Hey.

1173
01:07:50,767 --> 01:07:51,699
Bill Lee.
Good to see you.

1174
01:07:51,701 --> 01:07:54,069
How you doin'? I'll see you in there.
Good, man.

1175
01:07:54,071 --> 01:07:56,037
For sure.
All right.

1176
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,313
Bill Lee?

1177
01:08:05,315 --> 01:08:06,748
Hey, Bruce Lindsay.
How are you?

1178
01:08:06,750 --> 01:08:10,085
What in the holy fuck
are you doing here?

1179
01:08:10,087 --> 01:08:12,754
I was told that I could try out.
By who?

1180
01:08:13,823 --> 01:08:14,989
My agent.

1181
01:08:14,991 --> 01:08:17,258
He said that he spoke
to the owner himself.

1182
01:08:17,260 --> 01:08:20,228
I didn't know retired
ballplayers had agents.

1183
01:08:21,030 --> 01:08:22,130
I ain't retired.

1184
01:08:22,132 --> 01:08:25,233
Okay? And I just drove here all
the goddamn way from Quebec.

1185
01:08:25,235 --> 01:08:27,335
Now, are you gonna
let me throw or not?

1186
01:08:27,337 --> 01:08:29,204
You serious? You drove
here from Quebec?

1187
01:08:29,206 --> 01:08:30,305
Yep.
Why didn't you fly?

1188
01:08:30,307 --> 01:08:32,607
Because I enjoy the open road.

1189
01:08:32,609 --> 01:08:35,376
The wind in my hair.
Stones on the radio.

1190
01:08:35,711 --> 01:08:36,978
And I'm broke.

1191
01:08:36,980 --> 01:08:39,247
You are some piece of work, Lee.

1192
01:08:40,349 --> 01:08:41,683
All right, I'll tell you what.

1193
01:08:41,685 --> 01:08:45,120
I'll let you throw batting practice
today to the college kids.

1194
01:08:45,354 --> 01:08:46,754
Batting practice?

1195
01:08:47,923 --> 01:08:51,893
Bruce, I don't need your
goddamn pity party. All right?

1196
01:08:51,895 --> 01:08:53,828
I do feel sorry for you, but...

1197
01:08:53,830 --> 01:08:54,863
You throw BP for a few days,

1198
01:08:54,865 --> 01:08:57,866
keep your nose clean and
we'll see what we can do.

1199
01:08:57,868 --> 01:09:00,268
Besides, this benefits us both.

1200
01:09:00,369 --> 01:09:03,138
Hitting off you will be
good for their confidence.

1201
01:09:05,975 --> 01:09:08,176
Can I at least get in uniform?

1202
01:09:09,044 --> 01:09:11,846
No, you're good.

1203
01:09:19,855 --> 01:09:21,956
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

1204
01:09:21,958 --> 01:09:22,557
God, man!

1205
01:09:22,559 --> 01:09:27,629
Shit, who is that?
That is Manny moss.

1206
01:09:28,330 --> 01:09:29,564
Ooh!

1207
01:09:29,566 --> 01:09:32,433
Whoo! Yeah!
What's my name, huh?

1208
01:09:32,435 --> 01:09:34,569
I think it's probably
"douchebag."

1209
01:09:34,737 --> 01:09:36,571
Maury moss' kid.

1210
01:09:36,573 --> 01:09:39,440
Sweetest goddamn
swing I've ever seen.

1211
01:09:39,442 --> 01:09:43,044
His attitude's got
as much bite as his bat.

1212
01:09:43,379 --> 01:09:45,079
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

1213
01:09:46,216 --> 01:09:48,683
Goodness! Oh, my god!

1214
01:09:48,685 --> 01:09:50,385
Let me at him.

1215
01:09:51,887 --> 01:09:53,755
It's batting practice, bill.
I know.

1216
01:09:53,757 --> 01:09:55,957
Just batting practice.
Come on.

1217
01:09:55,959 --> 01:09:56,658
All right.

1218
01:09:56,660 --> 01:10:00,395
Go get him.
Jim! Come on out.

1219
01:10:28,624 --> 01:10:30,325
Whoo-hee!

1220
01:10:30,860 --> 01:10:34,295
Yeah! Yeah! Get out the
tape measures, baby!

1221
01:10:34,297 --> 01:10:37,465
Manny's putting on
a clinic today. Yeah.

1222
01:10:40,869 --> 01:10:41,769
Oh. Hey!

1223
01:10:41,771 --> 01:10:44,572
This is supposed to
be BP, old man river.

1224
01:10:44,574 --> 01:10:46,574
You wouldn't want to be
responsible for an injury

1225
01:10:46,576 --> 01:10:48,710
to a future hall of famer,
would you now?

1226
01:10:48,712 --> 01:10:50,044
Look, look, look.
Just do your job

1227
01:10:50,046 --> 01:10:51,246
and lay it in there
nice and easy.

1228
01:10:51,248 --> 01:10:53,715
Like a sweet kiss from
your old lady, huh?

1229
01:10:53,717 --> 01:10:55,883
Your old lady.

1230
01:10:56,418 --> 01:10:59,320
I ain't here to play
Patty cake, kiddo.

1231
01:11:13,902 --> 01:11:16,671
Go! Hey, who the
fuck is this guy?

1232
01:11:16,673 --> 01:11:18,539
Okay, you want to
play like that?

1233
01:11:18,541 --> 01:11:20,441
Let's see what you've got.

1234
01:11:27,017 --> 01:11:28,716
That was nasty.

1235
01:11:31,955 --> 01:11:34,255
What the fuck, man?
Fuck, man.

1236
01:11:34,257 --> 01:11:36,090
Whoa, easy.

1237
01:11:36,092 --> 01:11:38,526
What is this, man? Y'all trying
to get me hurt out here?

1238
01:11:38,528 --> 01:11:40,361
I'm about to pull a muscle!

1239
01:11:42,731 --> 01:11:44,399
What's he doin'?

1240
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,868
What he knows how to do.

1241
01:11:48,003 --> 01:11:49,437
Compete.

1242
01:11:49,505 --> 01:11:51,406
Get him out of there.

1243
01:11:53,310 --> 01:11:55,009
What kind of stuff is this?

1244
01:11:55,011 --> 01:11:57,578
Supposed to be
spring training BP!

1245
01:12:00,149 --> 01:12:00,715
What the fuck was that?

1246
01:12:00,717 --> 01:12:02,450
Oh, come on,
what do you want me to do?

1247
01:12:02,452 --> 01:12:04,752
Just lay'em up there for him?
Yes.

1248
01:12:04,754 --> 01:12:06,354
It's batting practice.

1249
01:12:06,356 --> 01:12:08,289
I can't have you comin' in here

1250
01:12:08,291 --> 01:12:09,757
and throwin' off
a young sluggers timing

1251
01:12:09,759 --> 01:12:12,026
with your grab bag of
monkey shit pitches, Lee!

1252
01:12:12,028 --> 01:12:13,094
Look, I'm sorry, all right.
I just wanted to

1253
01:12:13,096 --> 01:12:15,330
show you guys what
I still got in the tank.

1254
01:12:15,332 --> 01:12:16,464
How about next time
I just serve them up

1255
01:12:16,466 --> 01:12:18,433
like little Twinkies
on silver platters for you?

1256
01:12:18,435 --> 01:12:20,401
Oh, there's not gonna
be any next time.

1257
01:12:20,403 --> 01:12:22,537
We're committed to
a youth movement here.

1258
01:12:22,539 --> 01:12:24,605
So, uh, good luck, all of that.

1259
01:12:24,607 --> 01:12:26,641
I'm sorry you wasted your time.

1260
01:12:26,643 --> 01:12:29,644
If anything changes,
we'll let you know.

1261
01:12:30,846 --> 01:12:32,747
Yeah. Why don't you go...

1262
01:12:32,749 --> 01:12:34,916
No need to make a scene.

1263
01:12:34,918 --> 01:12:35,683
It's just business.

1264
01:12:35,685 --> 01:12:37,585
Uh-huh.
It's just business.

1265
01:12:37,587 --> 01:12:38,753
Where have I heard that before?

1266
01:12:38,755 --> 01:12:40,888
<i>How do you feel about
the fact that we're about to</i>

1267
01:12:40,890 --> 01:12:44,192
<i>replace your insubordinate
over-the-hill ass...</i>

1268
01:12:44,194 --> 01:12:46,127
<i>immediately from your contract.</i>

1269
01:12:46,129 --> 01:12:47,261
<i>This is a business, Lee!</i>

1270
01:12:47,263 --> 01:12:49,597
<i>Plain and simple,
it's a business!</i>

1271
01:12:51,534 --> 01:12:54,435
Fuckin' assholes!

1272
01:12:54,437 --> 01:12:54,836
Guess what?

1273
01:12:54,838 --> 01:13:01,075
<i>Mr. Lee, you know, perhaps it's time
for you to find a new profession.</i>

1274
01:13:11,220 --> 01:13:14,255
Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

1275
01:13:14,556 --> 01:13:18,059
Sorry
about that, bill. Listen.

1276
01:13:18,727 --> 01:13:20,461
I respect your tenacity.

1277
01:13:20,463 --> 01:13:21,195
More of us do than you know.

1278
01:13:21,197 --> 01:13:24,732
We all know you play the
game for the right reasons.

1279
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:29,303
Hey, you won 119
major league games.

1280
01:13:29,305 --> 01:13:31,773
I don't know whose daughter
you humped up in Montreal,

1281
01:13:31,775 --> 01:13:34,776
but somebody's got it
out for you big time.

1282
01:13:34,778 --> 01:13:38,846
Who does? Who doesn't
is the question.

1283
01:13:38,848 --> 01:13:42,750
You've been banned from the big
leagues, kid. Plain and simple.

1284
01:13:44,187 --> 01:13:45,887
Hey, you didn't hear it from me,

1285
01:13:45,889 --> 01:13:49,690
but Cleveland's looking for a minor
league pitching coach down in Tucson.

1286
01:13:49,692 --> 01:13:53,461
I told them you might show up
for an interview tomorrow.

1287
01:13:54,496 --> 01:13:56,230
A coaching job?

1288
01:13:56,465 --> 01:13:57,632
No, man, I don't want to coach.

1289
01:13:57,634 --> 01:13:59,400
I want to pitch.
I'm a pitcher.

1290
01:13:59,402 --> 01:14:01,969
- It's not gonna happen.
- That's life.

1291
01:14:01,971 --> 01:14:03,638
You know the game.

1292
01:14:03,739 --> 01:14:06,841
Go make a steady paycheck.
Teach what you know.

1293
01:14:09,011 --> 01:14:11,179
I appreciate the information.

1294
01:14:11,313 --> 01:14:13,581
You're one of
the good ones, Marv.

1295
01:14:13,583 --> 01:14:15,483
Thank you.
Okay.

1296
01:14:17,620 --> 01:14:18,853
Keep fighting the good fight.

1297
01:14:18,855 --> 01:14:20,388
All right, take care.

1298
01:15:39,234 --> 01:15:40,434
Hello.

1299
01:15:40,436 --> 01:15:41,536
Hey, honey.

1300
01:15:41,538 --> 01:15:43,704
<i>What time is it?
Where are you?</i>

1301
01:15:43,972 --> 01:15:45,306
I'm in Arizona.

1302
01:15:45,308 --> 01:15:48,109
Had a tryout with
San Francisco today.

1303
01:15:48,111 --> 01:15:49,944
Arizona? You did?

1304
01:15:49,946 --> 01:15:51,579
Well, that's great.

1305
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:52,713
How did it go?

1306
01:15:52,715 --> 01:15:54,415
Well, I thought that
I did great but, uh,

1307
01:15:54,417 --> 01:15:59,053
apparently, they are committed to a youth
movement, whatever the hell that means.

1308
01:15:59,055 --> 01:16:00,388
How long are you gone?

1309
01:16:00,390 --> 01:16:01,322
<i>I'm gonna be a while.</i>

1310
01:16:01,324 --> 01:16:03,124
I got a lead on
something in Tucson.

1311
01:16:03,126 --> 01:16:06,227
Look, uh, can I please
speak to the kids?

1312
01:16:06,229 --> 01:16:08,996
They're all sleeping.
It's late here.

1313
01:16:09,264 --> 01:16:11,065
Call tomorrow. Okay?

1314
01:16:13,602 --> 01:16:16,170
Can I ask you
an honest question?

1315
01:16:16,572 --> 01:16:18,005
Of course.

1316
01:16:18,473 --> 01:16:20,141
Do you still love me?

1317
01:16:23,078 --> 01:16:24,612
Bill...

1318
01:16:26,748 --> 01:16:30,785
What is it? Because I'm not in
the majors anymore, is that it?

1319
01:16:30,787 --> 01:16:32,753
Is that really what you think?

1320
01:16:32,755 --> 01:16:34,021
I don't know.
Why don't you tell me?

1321
01:16:34,023 --> 01:16:36,591
I love you enough
to tell you the truth.

1322
01:16:36,593 --> 01:16:38,326
It'd be nice if you would
stick up for your kids

1323
01:16:38,328 --> 01:16:42,563
the way you stick up for your
team mates all the time.

1324
01:16:54,610 --> 01:16:56,410
Well, what about you?

1325
01:16:56,612 --> 01:16:57,511
What about us?

1326
01:16:57,513 --> 01:16:59,046
<i>I'm not sure that things can be</i>

1327
01:16:59,048 --> 01:17:01,816
<i>salvaged between us
at this point.</i>

1328
01:17:01,883 --> 01:17:03,651
<i>But we can be friends.</i>

1329
01:17:05,654 --> 01:17:07,622
The kids need that too.

1330
01:17:09,224 --> 01:17:11,225
But they need you here.

1331
01:17:11,460 --> 01:17:15,763
<i>You've been on
the road for 14 years.</i>

1332
01:17:15,765 --> 01:17:17,999
<i>It's time to come home.</i>

1333
01:17:19,401 --> 01:17:21,302
<i>I'm going to bed.</i>

1334
01:17:21,304 --> 01:17:22,737
Wait, wait, wait.

1335
01:17:23,238 --> 01:17:24,739
Good night.

1336
01:17:24,741 --> 01:17:26,440
Call them tomorrow.

1337
01:17:28,644 --> 01:17:30,344
Call...

1338
01:17:55,570 --> 01:17:59,540
<i>You know the most frustrating
thing about ex-wives.</i>

1339
01:18:03,513 --> 01:18:07,048
<i>Sometimes they're
friggin' right.</i>

1340
01:19:23,892 --> 01:19:25,626
Howdy, neighbors!

1341
01:19:26,461 --> 01:19:30,731
Passport? Vehicle registration?
Uh, right.

1342
01:19:30,733 --> 01:19:32,500
Let's see.

1343
01:19:35,971 --> 01:19:37,338
I could've sworn
I brought the darn thing.

1344
01:19:37,340 --> 01:19:40,241
They didn't ask for it on the us
side when I was coming through.

1345
01:19:40,243 --> 01:19:43,677
I thought Canadians were supposed
to be the friendly ones, eh?

1346
01:19:44,247 --> 01:19:49,283
If you don't have a passport or any ID,
you're gonna need to step out of the car.

1347
01:19:49,417 --> 01:19:51,385
Uh...

1348
01:19:51,387 --> 01:19:54,121
What have we got here?
He smelled something.

1349
01:19:54,123 --> 01:19:57,725
We can work this out.
I'm late for a baseball game.

1350
01:19:57,727 --> 01:19:59,560
Name's Lee. Bill Lee.

1351
01:19:59,795 --> 01:20:01,362
I'm a ball player.

1352
01:20:01,830 --> 01:20:04,865
I don't care if you're late
for your fuckin' wedding.

1353
01:20:04,933 --> 01:20:06,967
Get out of the car, now.

1354
01:20:07,602 --> 01:20:09,336
What have we got?

1355
01:20:09,338 --> 01:20:12,573
This guy's got no ID.

1356
01:20:12,774 --> 01:20:14,275
He says he's
a professional athlete.

1357
01:20:14,277 --> 01:20:17,645
Wants some special treatment.
And then there's this.

1358
01:20:20,382 --> 01:20:21,615
Really?

1359
01:20:21,617 --> 01:20:23,717
What hockey team you play for?

1360
01:20:23,719 --> 01:20:25,486
I'm a baseball player.

1361
01:20:25,587 --> 01:20:26,554
Oh.

1362
01:20:26,556 --> 01:20:30,457
Well, then you gotta
step out of the vehicle.

1363
01:20:30,859 --> 01:20:34,662
I wasn't looking for any
special treatment, fellas.

1364
01:20:34,664 --> 01:20:35,396
I'm just a friendly American.

1365
01:20:35,398 --> 01:20:40,167
Hell, if it were up to me there wouldn't be
any borders between these two countries.

1366
01:20:40,535 --> 01:20:42,403
Save the stump speech.

1367
01:20:44,272 --> 01:20:45,773
Wait a second.

1368
01:20:45,775 --> 01:20:47,875
Are you the spaceman, bill Lee?

1369
01:20:47,877 --> 01:20:48,642
Yes, sir.

1370
01:20:48,644 --> 01:20:52,079
William Francis ii.
Pleasure to meet you boys.

1371
01:20:52,581 --> 01:20:54,548
I saw you in <i>high times.</i>

1372
01:20:54,916 --> 01:20:57,117
Um... not that I read it.

1373
01:20:57,119 --> 01:20:57,751
Well...

1374
01:20:57,753 --> 01:21:00,654
But, man... boy, Montreal
fucked you proper, bill. Yeah.

1375
01:21:00,656 --> 01:21:04,692
You've got brass balls standing up
for little Rodney Scott like that.

1376
01:21:04,694 --> 01:21:06,026
Yeah.
Well.

1377
01:21:06,028 --> 01:21:06,694
Where you going?

1378
01:21:06,696 --> 01:21:09,330
Well, I've, uh, I've
actually been playing with

1379
01:21:09,332 --> 01:21:11,265
a great group of guys
over in Longueuil.

1380
01:21:11,267 --> 01:21:15,436
You know, I left them behind to
go try out for San Francisco,

1381
01:21:15,438 --> 01:21:17,004
which was a big fuckin' mistake.

1382
01:21:17,006 --> 01:21:18,339
Anyway, they got a game tonight

1383
01:21:18,341 --> 01:21:20,474
against a bunch of ugly
plumbers from new Brunswick,

1384
01:21:20,476 --> 01:21:22,443
and I'm just trying to
get back so I can pitch.

1385
01:21:22,445 --> 01:21:25,779
What the heck you playing
for Longueuil for?

1386
01:21:25,781 --> 01:21:26,447
They need me.

1387
01:21:26,449 --> 01:21:29,650
You heard the man. He's
got a ball game to pitch.

1388
01:21:29,652 --> 01:21:31,352
Go on. Get out of here.

1389
01:21:31,586 --> 01:21:33,387
All right. I'll just...

1390
01:21:33,555 --> 01:21:35,155
I'm gonna hang on
to the coffee, though.

1391
01:21:35,157 --> 01:21:37,191
Smells like pretty good shit.

1392
01:21:37,359 --> 01:21:38,792
Take care.

1393
01:21:38,794 --> 01:21:40,661
Go ahead. Go on.

1394
01:21:40,795 --> 01:21:42,796
Okay. Yeah, of course.

1395
01:21:54,409 --> 01:21:56,477
<i>Look, I screwed up.</i>

1396
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:58,812
<i>Even though I had
the best intentions.</i>

1397
01:21:58,814 --> 01:22:03,317
<i>But once I realized no major league
club would ever hire me again,</i>

1398
01:22:03,319 --> 01:22:05,319
<i>I didn't get angry.</i>

1399
01:22:05,321 --> 01:22:06,954
<i>I got defiant.</i>

1400
01:22:07,088 --> 01:22:09,924
<i>Screw those guys.
Who needs them?</i>

1401
01:22:11,393 --> 01:22:14,662
<i>The owners had done me a favor,
chucking me out of their sport.</i>

1402
01:22:14,664 --> 01:22:19,333
<i>Now I could travel the world searching
for the game in its purest form.</i>

1403
01:22:19,335 --> 01:22:23,037
<i>Hardball, softball,
wiffle ball, cricket.</i>

1404
01:22:23,039 --> 01:22:27,241
<i>Pay me in cash, pay me in
lager, don't pay me at all.</i>

1405
01:22:27,475 --> 01:22:29,043
<i>But I'll be there.</i>

1406
01:22:29,045 --> 01:22:31,478
<i>Ready to get guys out.</i>

1407
01:22:46,127 --> 01:22:47,761
Good morning!

1408
01:22:50,532 --> 01:22:51,532
Hey!

1409
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:17,091
<i>I get invited to come and throw out
the first pitch a lot these days.</i>

1410
01:23:17,592 --> 01:23:22,363
<i>And I tell 'em, only if I can
throw out all the rest.</i>

1411
01:23:23,598 --> 01:23:26,967
<i>Bill "the spaceman" Lee!</i>

1412
01:23:40,415 --> 01:23:43,817
<i>I keep playing
because I have no choice.</i>

1413
01:23:44,686 --> 01:23:46,754
<i>I'm a ball player.</i>

1414
01:23:47,122 --> 01:23:48,922
<i>As Jim Bouton once said,</i>

1415
01:23:48,924 --> 01:23:52,826
<i>"you spend a good piece of
your life gripping a baseball.</i>

1416
01:23:52,828 --> 01:23:59,466
<i>"And in the end, it turns out that
it was the other way around."</i>
