Maybe the world is blind or just a
little unkind.

Don't know.

Seems you can't be sure of anything
anymore.

I did that, I ended up with a water
balloon on my head.

Please, Mrs. Johnson, we want to show
you a Halloween costume.

Oh, all right.

But this better be a treat and not a
trick.

Merlin the Magician!

You three make quite a trio.

We got a hot shot, a hot and tight, and
a whatnot.

I wish Henry was here to see us. What's
he getting back?

Lord only knows.

That man's got the worst case of curfew
I ever saw.

I bet he got the best season really
filled.

Henry, are you all right?

I'm alive, clinically speaking.

What happened?

I was sure I'd get tickets by going
there 17 hours before the box office

Unfortunately, 5 ,000 other people got
there.

18 hours before the box office opened.

Henry, you look exhausted.

Sit down before gravity wins.

What an experience.

When I took my place in line, I found
myself sandwiched between a stevedore

a gentleman who introduced himself as
Ekron, a Venus.

At midnight, we were all treated to a
recitation of Casey at the Bat by a 96

-year -old woman wearing only a slip.

Well, did you come close to getting
tickets?

Close enough to see the man ahead of me
buy the last two.

Oh, honey, that's awful.

I haven't even got to the awful part
yet.

I was willing to take defeat graciously,
but it's impossible to be gracious when

the crowd is using you as a battering
ram to break into the box office.

Well, you tried, Henry.

Besides, I always say the best... seats
in the house are right in front of your

own TV set.

Have you lost your mind?

It's been 39 years since the Cubs had a
chance to get to the World Series and I

want to watch them in Wrigley Field.

Well, if you feel that way, why didn't
you buy season tickets?

I had them.

For 38 losing seasons, I had them.

This year, I decided to save myself the
money and the aggravation. And what

happens? What happens?

They go to the playoffs.

They go to the playoffs.

I won't be there to see them.

Come on, Cleo. Let's go upstairs. I hate
to see a grown man cry.

I don't. Can I stay and watch?

Careful.

Didn't I see you in line?

Henry, it's my bedtime, not yours.

I know, but I'm desperate for this day
to end.

Henry, you've got to snap out of this.
It's only a game.

Punky, the Cubs are in the playoffs.

There's no way they can lose to the
Padres. That means the Cubs will go to

World Series. That's history in the
making.

A bunch of guys hitting a ball is
history?

It looks more like recess to me.

One autumn day at Wrigley Field when I
was about your age, I witnessed

one of the greatest events in baseball
history.

You did?

It was the third game of the World
Series.

The Cubs against the Yankees. Fifth
inning.

The score was four to four when the babe
stepped up to the plate.

The babe? Who's she?

Not she. He.

Babe Ruth.

Did his parents name him after the candy
bar?

Yeah.

Anyway, the babe had two strikes on him.

He pointed the center field bleachers
right where I was sitting. And on the

pitch, he smashed a home run right at
me.

Holy mackerel!

Did you catch it?

See this bump?

That's where the ball bounced off my
skull.

Wow.

I was hoping you'd experience the same
thrill this year.

Was the baby there?

No, honey.

He's knocking them over the pearly gates
now.

But you can bet that Mr. Cobber will be
there.

Ernie Banks.

That's it.

That's how I can get tickets.

Ernie Banks.

I know him. We're buddies.

You know Ernie Banks? You bet I do.

In 1962, I photographed the wedding of
Ernie's second cousin.

That made you buddies?

Absolutely.

I walked up to him and said, some
wedding, huh?

And Ernie smiled back at me and said,
where's the dip?

And then what?

I showed him where the dip was, gangway.

Henry, is this what they call a long
shot?

No.

It's what they call a sure thing.

It's ringing.

Hello?

I'd like to speak to Ernie Banks, if you
would be so kind.

No.

It's not in reference to playoff
tickets. It's in reference to... Ernie's

cousin.

Thank you.

She's going to get him, I tell you.

I can smell the peanuts now.

I photographed your second cousin's
wedding back in 62, so how's it going,

Warnimont.

Henry Warnimont.

Don't you remember I showed you the dip?

The clam dip.

Anyway, Earn, you think you could let an
old buddy get a couple of seats for one

of the playoff games? Feel free to say
no.

There's nothing left to try, Punky.

I can't believe this.

The Cubs are actually going to play
without us.

Oh.

Henry, there's something on the radio
that will cheer you up.

I don't want to be cheered up. I'm
perfectly happy being completely

Okay, all you Cubby fans out there, it's
time for our playoff ticket giveaway.

Did you say playoff ticket?

That's right. If you are the 13th caller
and you can correctly answer our trivia

question, you'll win two coveted tickets
to tomorrow's playoff game.

Turn that up. What did he say the number
was?

The number is 555 -WMAQ.

Be the 13th caller and...

5 -5 -5 -W -M -A -Q.

I wish they'd give us numbers. I hate
looking for letters.

Hurry!

It's busy. I'll try again.

Gotta get a push button.

It's still busy.

What's the use?

Let me try. I've got funky power.

Funky? Forget it. It's hopeless.

Let's get on with it.

Okay, today's trivia question is a
toughie, so you better put on your

cap.

Now, for two tickets to tomorrow's
playoff game, can you name the windiest

in the United States?

That's easy. We studied in school.

Quiet, dear. Let little Henry answer.

The windiest city in the United States
is the home of the incredible Cubs, that

toddling town, our very own Chicago.

answer. Why didn't you tell me? I did.

Well, why don't you make me listen?

Hey, Mr. Warnemont, I just heard you on
the radio.

Boy, I thought everybody knew about
Great Falls, Montana.

Go away.

Listen, Mr. Warnemont, Punky asked me to
try and find you tickets for the

playoffs, and I think I figured out a
way.

Really? Yeah, a scalper.

Forget it.

I detest those low -life creatures. They
prey upon a fan's loyalty for profit.

I'll have nothing to do with them.

Gee, that's too bad.

Because I got a scalper waiting outside
with tickets to tomorrow's game.

Don't just stand there. Show the
gentleman in.

Hey, have no fear.

Lenny the Loop is here.

Lenny the Loop? Yeah, not to be confused
with Lakeshore Lenny.

You see, I got more class in my little
finger than that scut face we got in

whole operation.

Mr. Luke, would you like some Kool -Aid?

Oh, no thanks, kid. I'm on the critical
list at Slenderella.

Gucci Kool -Aid, kid.

All right, let's talk some business.
Luke's the name, tickets the game, and

tickets is exactly what Lenny's got.

Ta -da!

I got the Rob Stewart concert, King Tut
Exhibition.

Boy, I really took a bath on those, huh?

Hey, how about the Jackson's victory
tour?

Henry the Jackson!

Forget it. Forget it.

Okay, we got the Super Bowl, Kentucky
Derby, synchronized swimming.

Oh, looky here.

I got two tickets for the National
League playoffs for tomorrow's game.

I'll take them. Oh, don't be so grabby,
Gramps. You know, money talks or I walk.

How much?

Well, these two tickets are going for
$500 apiece on the street.

How much are they going for up here in
this apartment?

Thank you, kid. I'll tell you what, as
long as the kid is involved, I'll let

have these two tickets for $9 .50.

What? Read my lips.

Mr. Lupe, we're very, very poor. We
don't have that much money.

All right, I'll tell you what, kid.

I'll let you have these two tickets for
$700, but that's my final offer.

That's still too much money.

Henry, just buy one ticket.

Go to the game without me.

But, monkey.

I know it's a lot of money, but you
don't have to buy my medicine this

Doctor says I don't have much time to
live anyway.

Oh, bravo.

You ought to be on star search, kid.

I'm buying it.

Okay, we'll give you a hundred bucks for
both tickets. Take it or leave it. You

got yourself a deal.

All right. That kid's got real talent.
You know, you ought to develop it.

I can't afford to listen.

I feel excused.

Oh, sure, Gramps. Hey, listen. I want
you two to have the time of your life.

And by the way, speaking of time, you
want to buy a watch?

Okay.

We're going to the game!

Thank you.

Seats 119 and 120.

How many seats are there?

Not for long, they're not. Where are
they? Right there.

Pardon me.

Sister. Yes?

Sister Marilyn.

But I think we have a little mix -up
here. Oh, look, it's Leon Durham!

Hi, bull!

Here, up here!

Hi!

I'm sorry. You were saying?

I think, sister, that you and your
sister -sister are sitting in our seats.

Hey, I'm trying to watch batting
practice.

Now move it or lose it, pops.

Excuse me.

That's not a very nice way to talk.

If you don't be quiet, Henry will have
to teach you some manners.

You're going to teach me some manners?

My daughter is young and impetuous.
Anyone can see that when it comes to

manners, you, sir, wrote the book.

Not a word in it over three letters.

What did you say?

I was admiring your shirt.

Sir, I believe we are sitting in the
proper seats. See?

Oh, that's odd.

We both have tickets for the same seats.

has fake tickets.

You could be right, Punchy.

You've been had, sister.

My good man, we got our tickets from the
Cardinal's office.

Are you insinuating that his eminence
was sold counterfeit tickets?

It's one bone every minute.

Hey, sister, is this old geez hassling
you? You want me to hit him for you?

Oh, that won't be necessary, my son.

I think that you should look at the date
on your stuff.

National League Championship, October
1884.

Slightly strong century.

Boy, if you can't trust Lenny Baloo, who
can you trust?

You can't trust scalpers, period.

You should have known better.

Sister Bernadette, I believe these
people have learned their lesson.

should offer them our seat.

Get real, sister.

prevent me from seeing this game.

Here we sit, and here we shall remain.

Look, let me level with you.

My daughter is dying to see this game.

For me, it's no big deal.

But for her, it's the dream of a
lifetime.

Well, I'll tell you what. This adorable
little girl is welcome to sit on my lap.

How about me?

Oh, excuse me.

My daughter seems to have left me.

Can't say that I blame her.

Henry!

Don't ever wander away like that. I was
worried sick.

Now my wrinkles are going to have
wrinkles.

And your butt's going to have blisters
if you don't get out of here.

We have found us some seats.

What? I met these really nice people and
they said we could sit with them.

I don't know much about baseball, so
they may be lousy seats.

At least we can watch the game.

Lead me to them. At this point, I settle
for the lousiest seats in the park.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
