there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary,

You just gotta relax and concentrate.
31
00:02:22,184 --> 00:02:25,176
Besides, I'd never sleep with a player
hitting under 250,

I can expand their minds.
35
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:39,823
Sometimes when I've got a ballplayer alone,
36
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:43,494
I'll just read Emily Dickinson
or Walt Whitman to him.
37
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:46,163
And the guys are so sweet.
They always stay and listen.
38
00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:50,034
Of course, a guy'ii listen to anything
if he thinks it's foreplay.
39

Of course, what I give them lasts a lifetime.

What they give me lasts 142 games.

Sometimes it seems like a bad trade,

He's just inexperienced.

It's my job to give him life wisdom
and to help him get on to the major leagues.

Mm-hmm.
You hit 227 home runs in the minors.

That's not bad.

- Why not?
579
00:31:29,471 --> 00:31:32,463
You hit 20 more this year, you're gonna
be the all-time minor league champ.

The record's 246.
581
00:31:34,142 --> 00:31:40,434
Well, 247 home runs in the minor leagues
would be a kind of dubious honor.
582
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:42,936
I think it would be great.
The Sporting News should know about it.

00:56:39,438 --> 00:56:43,773
She also - She also said that I should throw
whatever pitches you call for.
1014
00:56:45,277 --> 00:56:47,234
Annie's a very smart lady.
1015
00:56:50,532 --> 00:56:51,693
What?
1016
00:56:54,828 --> 00:56:57,195
The rose goes in the front, big guy.
1017
00:57:01,752 --> 00:57:03,834
[woman on PA]
Now batting for the Salem Buffs,
1018
00:57:03,921 --> 00:57:06,288
center fielder Joe McCorkle.
1019
00:57:06,381 --> 00:57:07,792
[grunts]
1020
00:57:09,051 --> 00:57:11,167
This underwear feels kind of sexy.
1021
00:57:12,471 --> 00:57:14,803
Don't make me queer, right? Right.
1022
00:57:15,557 --> 00:57:17,139
Whoo!
1023
00:57:20,103 --> 00:57:21,593
Breaking ball.
1024
00:57:26,610 --> 00:57:29,568
- Yeahl
- All right! Good way to start, baby!
1025
00:57:29,655 --> 00:57:31,145
Right.
1026
00:57:31,907 --> 00:57:34,865
I mean, I ain't queer. No, I ain't.
1027
00:57:35,410 --> 00:57:37,242
[sighs]
1028
00:57:39,998 --> 00:57:41,454
Fastball.
1029
00:57:45,212 --> 00:57:46,543
Stee!
1030
00:57:47,631 --> 00:57:51,670
Ninety-six miles an hour. He looks good.
But why's he all twistin' up like that?
1031
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,593
He's using his parietal eye,
just like Fernando.
1032
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,047
Ooh, that was a humdinger.
1033
00:57:58,350 --> 00:57:59,681
Come on.
1034
00:58:03,438 --> 00:58:06,396
Fastball again? Why's he want the heat?
I just threw heat.
1035
00:58:06,483 --> 00:58:09,942
Don't think, Meat. Just give him the gas.
1036
00:58:13,365 --> 00:58:14,651
Out!
1037
00:58:15,826 --> 00:58:19,035
Geez. What's got into Nuke?
1038
00:58:19,121 --> 00:58:23,536
He's wearing garters, and he's breathing
out of his eyelids like a lava lizard.
1039
00:58:24,001 --> 00:58:25,537
Old, uh, Mayan deal.
1040
00:58:25,627 --> 00:58:27,538
- Aztec.
- Aztec deal.
1041
00:58:34,386 --> 00:58:36,468
Got it! I got it!
1042
00:58:38,932 --> 00:58:40,798
[Larry] Way to go! Way to go!
1043
00:58:43,895 --> 00:58:46,387
- Had my mojo working!
- You nuked 'em!
1044
00:58:46,481 --> 00:58:48,097
You know what a mojo is?
1045
00:58:48,608 --> 00:58:50,144
- Sure.
- No, you don't.
1046
00:58:51,111 --> 00:58:52,442
I was great, huh?
1047
00:58:53,447 --> 00:58:56,155
Your fastball's up.
Your curveball's hanging.
1048
00:58:56,241 --> 00:58:58,403
In the show, they would've ripped you.
1049
00:59:00,454 --> 00:59:03,947
- Can't you even let me enjoy the moment?
- The moment's over.
1050
00:59:04,374 --> 00:59:08,789
[woman on PA] Y'all, don't forget to try one
of Uncle Fred's yummy red hots while you're here.
1051
00:59:08,879 --> 00:59:11,291
This guy starts me off
with a breaking ball...
1052
00:59:12,799 --> 00:59:14,756
I'm taking him downtown.
1053
00:59:14,843 --> 00:59:17,210
- He bad. He bad.
-[clamoring]
1054
00:59:20,807 --> 00:59:25,096
I dare you to throw me the hammer.
You ain't that stupid.
1055
00:59:25,187 --> 00:59:28,179
Stepping up to the plate for Durham,
our own Crash Davis.
1056
00:59:28,273 --> 00:59:31,561
Come on, put your hands together for Crash.
Let's hear it!
1057
00:59:34,905 --> 00:59:35,895
Let's go.
1058
00:59:35,989 --> 00:59:39,857
[thinking] Come on, Meat
Bring me that weak-ass shit, huh?
1059
00:59:39,951 --> 00:59:42,864
Bring it. Bring it. Bring it.
1060
00:59:42,954 --> 00:59:45,571
-[crack]
-[crowd cheers]
1061
00:59:47,334 --> 00:59:48,995
Oh, my.
1062
00:59:51,588 --> 00:59:54,922
[all] Whoo!
1063
00:59:58,095 --> 01:00:01,178
2-nothing Bulls in the second.
First time the Bulls have been ahead in weeks.
1064
01:00:01,264 --> 01:00:02,800
- Eh, Whitey?
- Mm-hmm.
1065
01:00:02,891 --> 01:00:04,973
Let's see
if the real Nuke LaLoosh will show up.
1066
01:00:05,727 --> 01:00:07,388
[crowd chanting] Bulls! Bulls!
1067
01:00:07,479 --> 01:00:08,969
[sighs]
1068
01:00:18,406 --> 01:00:20,397
Back! Back, back, back, back!
1069
01:00:20,492 --> 01:00:22,654
- Room! You got room!
- Back!
1070
01:00:23,078 --> 01:00:24,443
You got room!
1071
01:00:25,163 --> 01:00:26,449
{cheefin
- Out! 9]
1072
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,457
What are you doing out here?
I'm cruising, man.
1073
01:00:35,048 --> 01:00:37,164
I want you to throw the next one
at the mascot.
1074
01:00:37,259 --> 01:00:39,375
Why? I'm finally throwing it
where I want to throw it.
1075
01:00:39,469 --> 01:00:41,460
Just throw it at the bull, all right?
1076
01:00:41,555 --> 01:00:43,137
Trust me.
1077
01:00:46,059 --> 01:00:47,549
He's the boss.
1078
01:00:52,983 --> 01:00:57,773
A staggering start by LaLoosh. He's thrown
five outs on nine pitches, all of 'em strikes.
1079
01:00:57,863 --> 01:01:01,822
He's got pinpoint control here tonight,
Bull fans. Here's the pitch.
1080
01:01:04,703 --> 01:01:07,320
-[groans]
-[crowd cheers]
1081
01:01:11,793 --> 01:01:14,160
- This guy's crazy.
- Yep.
1082
01:01:14,254 --> 01:01:17,997
I wouldn't dig in there if I was you.
Next one might be at your head.
1083
01:01:19,467 --> 01:01:21,424
I don't know where it's gonna go.
1084
01:01:21,887 --> 01:01:23,218
I swear to God.
1085
01:01:27,184 --> 01:01:29,050
[chuckling menacingly]
1086
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,727
[chuckling continues]
1087
01:01:38,028 --> 01:01:40,770
-[cheering]
- You're the man, Nuke. You're the man.
1088
01:01:40,864 --> 01:01:42,480
Easy game. Easy game.
1089
01:01:45,118 --> 01:01:46,608
[Garland] Top of the ninth, two outs.
1090
01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:49,786
One out away from a stunning
two-hit shutout for LaLoosh.
1091
01:01:51,291 --> 01:01:53,703
Bear down, Meat. Don't let up.
1092
01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:56,084
You own these guys.
1093
01:01:57,547 --> 01:01:59,663
Dad would love a shutout.
1094
01:02:03,970 --> 01:02:06,211
Oh, no, no, no. No.
1095
01:02:07,766 --> 01:02:11,054
No, no. He's looking for heat.
1096
01:02:11,519 --> 01:02:12,884
Let me give him the deuce.
1097
01:02:13,897 --> 01:02:15,308
[woman] Play ball!
1098
01:02:15,815 --> 01:02:20,184
Oh, no, he's shaking off the signs.
Big mistake.
1099
01:02:20,779 --> 01:02:23,817
This son of a bitch is throwing
a two-hit shutout, he's shaking me off.
1100
01:02:23,907 --> 01:02:25,363
You believe that shit?
1101
01:02:27,202 --> 01:02:30,411
Charlie, here comes the deuce.
1102
01:02:30,830 --> 01:02:33,037
And when you speak of me, speak well.
1103
01:02:38,505 --> 01:02:41,167
- No, no, serve it up.
- Yeah.
1104
01:02:46,388 --> 01:02:48,004
[crowd gasping]
1105
01:02:50,517 --> 01:02:52,428
Woman on PM Home run, Jimmy Powell.
1106
01:02:53,478 --> 01:02:54,843
Give me the ball.
1107
01:03:01,403 --> 01:03:03,610
You told him I was gonna
throw a deuce, right?
1108
01:03:03,697 --> 01:03:05,108
Yep.
1109
01:03:06,449 --> 01:03:08,690
Man, that ball got out of here in a hurry.
1110
01:03:10,370 --> 01:03:14,455
Anything that travels that far ought to have
a damn stewardess on it, don't you think?
1111
01:03:17,419 --> 01:03:18,659
[man] Let's go!
1112
01:03:24,551 --> 01:03:27,339
[soundtrackz rock]
1113
01:03:32,225 --> 01:03:33,761
[cheering]
1114
01:03:40,358 --> 01:03:42,690
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
1115
01:03:47,907 --> 01:03:49,318
Yeah!
1116
01:03:49,409 --> 01:03:51,195
[cheering]
1117
01:03:51,286 --> 01:03:55,120
[Annie] When Nuke started listening
to Crash, everything fell into place.
1118
01:03:55,206 --> 01:03:58,415
He started throwing strikes,
and we started to win.
1119
01:03:58,501 --> 01:04:00,742
But Nuke was still confused.
1120
01:04:00,837 --> 01:04:05,707
He was so encouraged by his victory
that he vowed not to have sex until he lost.
1121
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,964
Unfortunately, however, he kept on winning,
and for one extraordinary June and July,
1122
01:04:10,055 --> 01:04:15,721
the Durham Bulls began playing baseball
with joy and verve and poetry.
1123
01:04:16,936 --> 01:04:20,395
The two sides of my own brain
were all jumbled up and cross-wired.
1124
01:04:20,482 --> 01:04:22,348
While one side was being neglected,
1125
01:04:22,442 --> 01:04:26,151
the other was in paradise
watching our Bulls play like big-Ieaguers.
1126
01:04:26,654 --> 01:04:30,113
We swept a four-game series at Kinston,
two games at Winston-Salem,
1127
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,738
and kicked the holy shit out of Greensboro
in a three-game set.
1128
01:04:33,828 --> 01:04:37,913
And Crash, who kept hitting dingers,
was approaching the minor league record,
1129
01:04:38,541 --> 01:04:40,077
though I told nobody.
1130
01:04:41,419 --> 01:04:46,505
Afler sweeping a July 4 doubleheader,
the Durham Bulls were tied for first.
1131
01:04:46,591 --> 01:04:50,801
Beautiful as the winning streak was,
I was gettin' damn lonely.
1132
01:04:51,179 --> 01:04:53,170
Something had to be done.
1133
01:04:53,264 --> 01:04:55,096
I needed a man.
1134
01:04:55,183 --> 01:04:57,049
Yeah!
1135
01:04:59,020 --> 01:05:01,512
- Nukel
- Hey, Jimmy, how you doln'?
1136
01:05:01,606 --> 01:05:03,847
[shouts]
1137
01:05:03,942 --> 01:05:07,060
Yeah! I love winning, man.
1138
01:05:07,153 --> 01:05:09,645
I fuckin' love winning.
1139
01:05:09,739 --> 01:05:11,275
You hear what I'm saying?
1140
01:05:11,366 --> 01:05:13,403
It's, like, better than losing?
1141
01:05:14,828 --> 01:05:17,365
Teach me something new, man.
I need to learn.
1142
01:05:17,914 --> 01:05:19,370
Teach me something.
1143
01:05:20,041 --> 01:05:23,750
[Crash] You got something to write with?
Good. It's time to work on your interviews.
1144
01:05:23,837 --> 01:05:25,999
[Nuke] My interviews? What do I gotta do?
1145
01:05:26,089 --> 01:05:28,171
You're gonna have to learn your clichés.
1146
01:05:28,258 --> 01:05:31,751
You're gonna have to study them.
You're gonna have to know them.
1147
01:05:31,845 --> 01:05:34,758
They're your friends. Write this down.
1148
01:05:35,807 --> 01:05:38,390
“We got to play 'em one day at a time.”
1149
01:05:38,476 --> 01:05:42,265
“...got to play...”
That's pretty boring, you know.
1150
01:05:42,355 --> 01:05:44,767
Of course it's boring. That's the point.
Write it down.
1151
01:05:44,858 --> 01:05:48,146
“...one day at a time.”
1152
01:05:48,236 --> 01:05:51,103
All right. “I'm just happy to be here.
1153
01:05:51,197 --> 01:05:53,859
Hope I can help the ball club.”
1154
01:05:54,701 --> 01:05:56,738
I know. Write it down.
1155
01:05:57,495 --> 01:06:01,580
“I just want to give it my best shot,
1156
01:06:01,666 --> 01:06:05,830
and the good Lord willing,
things will work out.”
1157
01:06:06,838 --> 01:06:10,297
“...good Lord willing,
1158
01:06:10,383 --> 01:06:13,045
-things will work out.”
-“Things will work out.” Yep.
1159
01:06:13,136 --> 01:06:14,626
How's Annie?
1160
01:06:18,391 --> 01:06:20,598
She's getting pretty steamed actually
1161
01:06:20,685 --> 01:06:23,894
'cause I'm still rechanneling
my sexual energy.
1162
01:06:26,816 --> 01:06:30,059
I'm figuring I'm just gonna cave in
and sleep with her, you know,
1163
01:06:30,153 --> 01:06:31,689
to calm her down.
1164
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,237
- Are you out of your mind?
- I'm just -
1165
01:06:34,324 --> 01:06:36,486
- Are you out of your mind?
- Just talking about one time.
1166
01:06:36,576 --> 01:06:39,989
If you give in now,
you might start losing. Huh?
1167
01:06:43,333 --> 01:06:46,997
Never fuck with a winning streak.
1168
01:06:49,297 --> 01:06:51,208
[horn honking]
1169
01:06:52,967 --> 01:06:54,583
[Annie] Hi, boys.
1170
01:06:55,512 --> 01:06:57,799
Hi, darlin'. Get in here, you sweet thing.
1171
01:06:57,889 --> 01:06:59,596
- Hey, Jimmy.
- Hey, Millie.
1172
01:06:59,682 --> 01:07:01,468
Want a ride?
1173
01:07:02,352 --> 01:07:06,061
Have you accepted Jesus Christ
as your personal savior?
1174
01:07:06,898 --> 01:07:08,354
No.
1175
01:07:08,441 --> 01:07:10,899
Can I give you my testimony?
1176
01:07:11,903 --> 01:07:14,235
You can do anything you want.
1177
01:07:19,077 --> 01:07:20,442
Hop in.
1178
01:07:21,412 --> 01:07:23,369
[giggles]
1179
01:07:24,624 --> 01:07:26,911
I am so proud of you guys.
1180
01:07:31,798 --> 01:07:35,086
- You want some more soup, honey?
- Oh, no, thanks. That was good.
1181
01:07:39,305 --> 01:07:42,423
How about a little, urn, back rub?
1182
01:07:42,517 --> 01:07:46,181
No, I'm-I'm okay.
I think I'm gonna just take a little nap.
1183
01:07:47,063 --> 01:07:51,182
- You want me to tuck you in?
- Annie. Annie, you can't seduce me.
1184
01:07:51,276 --> 01:07:55,565
[laughs] Sweetie,
I'm not gonna try to seduce you.
1185
01:07:58,741 --> 01:08:01,108
- What's that?
- That's my leg.
1186
01:08:01,202 --> 01:08:02,784
[chuckles] I know what it is.
1187
01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:05,453
I just thought maybe we could
work on some fundamentals,
1188
01:08:05,540 --> 01:08:09,534
since we're not gonna make love, and kind of...
improve your hand-eye coordination.
1189
01:08:09,627 --> 01:08:13,416
-[chuckles] My hand-eye coordination?
- Mm-hmm. Unsnap my stocking.
1190
01:08:15,174 --> 01:08:19,168
The other day, Crash called a woman's pu -
1191
01:08:19,262 --> 01:08:21,094
pussy, urn...
1192
01:08:21,180 --> 01:08:24,593
Well, you know how the hair
is kind of in a “V” shape?
1193
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:29,269
- Yes, I do.
- Well, he called it the Bermuda Triangle.
1194
01:08:29,355 --> 01:08:32,564
He said that a man can get lost in there
and never be heard from again.
1195
01:08:32,650 --> 01:08:36,063
- What a nasty thing to say.
- Oh, no, no. He didn't mean it nasty.
1196
01:08:36,154 --> 01:08:41,991
He - He said that getting lost
and disappearing from the face of the earth
1197
01:08:42,076 --> 01:08:45,990
was sometimes a good thing to do,
especially like that.
1198
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:50,415
But he also said that there are times
for discipline,
1199
01:08:50,501 --> 01:08:53,960
and-and self-control,
and I think this is one of those times.
1200
01:08:54,047 --> 01:08:56,505
Well, Crash is a very smart man.
1201
01:08:57,050 --> 01:08:59,508
Now, honey, let's give it a try.
1202
01:09:05,224 --> 01:09:06,714
Here, wait a minute. Watch. Watch.
1203
01:09:12,857 --> 01:09:14,598
Now you try it. Go ahead.
1204
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:22,439
Mm-hmm.
1205
01:09:24,702 --> 01:09:26,033
Yep.
1206
01:09:26,621 --> 01:09:29,784
Mmm. Yeah. That's it.
1207
01:09:31,292 --> 01:09:34,159
- You're playing with my mind.
- I'm trying to play with your body.
1208
01:09:34,295 --> 01:09:37,788
- I knew it. You're trying to seduce me.
- Of course I'm trying to seduce you, for God's sake.
1209
01:09:37,882 --> 01:09:40,465
I'm doing a damn poor job of it.
Aren't I pretty?
1210
01:09:40,551 --> 01:09:44,340
-0h, God, I think you're real cute.
- Cute?
1211
01:09:44,430 --> 01:09:47,388
Baby ducks are cute. I hate cute!
1212
01:09:47,475 --> 01:09:50,558
I want to be exotic and mysterious.
1213
01:09:50,645 --> 01:09:54,479
You are.
You're exotic and mysterious and cute and -
1214
01:09:56,192 --> 01:09:57,728
That's why I'd better leave.
1215
01:09:57,819 --> 01:09:59,730
Nuke, you got it all wrong!
1216
01:09:59,821 --> 01:10:03,359
There's no relationship
between sex and baseball. Ask Crash.
1217
01:10:03,449 --> 01:10:05,690
- I did.
- And what did he say?
1218
01:10:05,785 --> 01:10:08,277
He said if I give in to you,
I'll start losing again.
1219
01:10:09,330 --> 01:10:11,241
- He did?
- Yeah.
1220
01:10:12,375 --> 01:10:14,491
I'll be back when we lose.
1221
01:10:20,258 --> 01:10:22,044
Damn it. [grunts]
1222
01:10:23,970 --> 01:10:26,587
[muttering]
1223
01:10:28,516 --> 01:10:30,928
[footsteps approaching]
1224
01:10:35,481 --> 01:10:38,269
How dare you tell Nuke
to stay out of my bed!
1225
01:10:38,359 --> 01:10:41,021
You are messing with my private life!
1226
01:10:41,654 --> 01:10:43,611
Knock, knock. You know? “Come in.”
1227
01:10:43,698 --> 01:10:45,564
- You're confusing him.
- Where's “Thank you”?
1228
01:10:45,658 --> 01:10:47,899
- You're bending his mind all out of shape.
- I'm what?
1229
01:10:47,994 --> 01:10:50,486
- You're confusing him.
- I'm confusing him?
1230
01:10:50,580 --> 01:10:52,867
You got him breathing
out of the wrong goddamn eyelid.
1231
01:10:52,957 --> 01:10:55,164
You got him parading around
the locker room like a fruit.
1232
01:10:55,251 --> 01:10:59,245
That is a religious ritual, and it happens
to be working, if you don't mind my saying.
1233
01:10:59,338 --> 01:11:01,796
Wait a second. Who dresses you?
1234
01:11:01,883 --> 01:11:03,339
- What?
- Who dresses you?
1235
01:11:03,426 --> 01:11:06,464
Don't you think this is a little excessive
for the Carolina League?
1236
01:11:07,054 --> 01:11:10,467
“The road of excess leads
to the palace of wisdom.” William Blake.
1237
01:11:10,558 --> 01:11:12,219
- William Blake?
- William Blake.
1238
01:11:12,310 --> 01:11:14,426
- William Blake?
- William Blake!
1239
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,103
- What do you mean, William Blake?
- I mean William Blake!
1240
01:11:20,151 --> 01:11:23,234
Who are you? I mean, do you have a job?
1241
01:11:23,321 --> 01:11:26,530
I teach part-time
at Alamance Junior College.
1242
01:11:26,616 --> 01:11:29,278
English 101 and Beginning Composition!
1243
01:11:29,368 --> 01:11:33,282
You know,
having a conversation with you is like -
1244
01:11:33,372 --> 01:11:36,910
-is like a Martian talking to a fungo.
- Oh, cute.
1245
01:11:37,001 --> 01:11:40,494
Just because sometimes you manage
to be clever and you have a nice smile
1246
01:11:40,588 --> 01:11:42,454
does not mean you are not full of shit.
1247
01:11:42,548 --> 01:11:44,505
- What, I'm full of shit?
- You're full of shit.
1248
01:11:44,592 --> 01:11:47,175
- You are full of shit!
- Nuke's chastity was your idea.
1249
01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:48,877
I know. I'm telling you -
1250
01:11:48,971 --> 01:11:52,339
- I never told him to stay out of your bed.
- Yes, you did. You most certainly did.
1251
01:11:52,433 --> 01:11:54,424
- I never told him to stay out of your bed.
- Yes, you did.
1252
01:11:54,519 --> 01:11:58,012
I told him that a player on a streak
has to respect the streak.
1253
01:11:58,105 --> 01:11:59,311
- Fine.
- You know why?
1254
01:11:59,398 --> 01:12:01,309
-'Cause they don't happen very often.
- Right.
1255
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,858
If you believe you're playing well
because you're getting laid
1256
01:12:03,945 --> 01:12:07,313
or because you're not getting laid
or because you wear women's underwear,
1257
01:12:07,406 --> 01:12:08,942
then you are!
1258
01:12:09,033 --> 01:12:10,569
And you should know that.
1259
01:12:15,665 --> 01:12:18,453
Come on, Annie.
Think of something clever to say, huh?
1260
01:12:20,169 --> 01:12:24,333
Something full of magic
and religion bullshit.
1261
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,541
Come on, dazzle me.
1262
01:12:30,137 --> 01:12:31,548
[quietly] I want you.
1263
01:12:32,473 --> 01:12:33,759
What?
1264
01:12:34,267 --> 01:12:36,975
- I said I want you.
- Stop it.
1265
01:12:43,150 --> 01:12:44,891
You're scared.
1266
01:12:50,074 --> 01:12:51,530
Maybe I am.
1267
01:12:52,535 --> 01:12:54,902
But I still think you should leave.
1268
01:12:54,996 --> 01:12:56,907
[chuckles]
1269
01:12:57,957 --> 01:12:59,914
Okay, well,
1270
01:13:00,585 --> 01:13:03,077
this is the damnedest season
I've ever seen.
1271
01:13:03,170 --> 01:13:06,538
I mean, the Durham Bulls can't lose,
and I can't get laid!
1272
01:13:10,052 --> 01:13:11,417
Damn!
1273
01:13:12,388 --> 01:13:14,755
[Larry] Come on, Nuke!
Show 'em what you got. Super rook!
1274
01:13:14,849 --> 01:13:17,716
Show 'em your super rook!
Super Nuke! Super Nuke!
1275
01:13:17,810 --> 01:13:21,223
RmroomZ Cy room;
0025 o? groom; Cy room; Cy room;!
1276
01:13:21,314 --> 01:13:25,148
-[crowd groans]
- Just relax out there. Don't aim the ball.
1277
01:13:25,818 --> 01:13:26,979
Damn.
1278
01:13:28,487 --> 01:13:31,354
Nuke's overthrowing tonight.
Don't look loose.
1279
01:13:31,449 --> 01:13:33,360
Anything bothering him?
1280
01:13:33,451 --> 01:13:37,911
He says his chakras are jammed. He's having
trouble breathing out of his, uh, left eyelid?
1281
01:13:37,997 --> 01:13:39,453
- Right eyelid.
- Right eyelid.
1282
01:13:44,754 --> 01:13:46,540
-[crowd groans]
- Jack, give me the ball.
1283
01:13:46,631 --> 01:13:48,087
Fuck!
1284
01:13:51,010 --> 01:13:54,423
- Time out!
{woman on PA] Up to the plate, Junior Shoemay.
1285
01:13:54,513 --> 01:13:56,003
What's wrong?
1286
01:13:56,098 --> 01:13:58,214
I'm a little nervous. My old man's here.
1287
01:13:58,309 --> 01:14:00,641
Your dad's here? Where's he at?
1288
01:14:00,728 --> 01:14:04,187
He's right behind home plate.
Don't look. Don't look. Shit.
1289
01:14:06,609 --> 01:14:07,940
Look, he's waving.
1290
01:14:08,027 --> 01:14:10,815
Hey, he's just your old man.
He's as full of shit as anybody.
1291
01:14:10,947 --> 01:14:13,609
- Hey, what's going on?
- Breathing through the wrong fuckin' eyelid again?
1292
01:14:13,699 --> 01:14:16,316
- Shut up.
- Did you guys hear about Jimmy and Millie?
1293
01:14:16,410 --> 01:14:19,528
- Yep.
- They got engaged! Can you believe that?
1294
01:14:19,622 --> 01:14:22,705
Oh, yeah? Wait till I tell him
she's gone down on half the Carolina League.
1295
01:14:22,792 --> 01:14:26,001
Hey, anybody says anything bad about Millie,
I break his neck.
1296
01:14:26,087 --> 01:14:27,998
Excuse me, guys,
I got a game to pitch here.
1297
01:14:28,089 --> 01:14:31,548
- José.
-[speaking Spanish]
1298
01:14:31,634 --> 01:14:35,172
Hey, you guys. Don't throw me anything.
My girlfriend put a curse on my glove.
1299
01:14:35,262 --> 01:14:37,594
I'll take the hex off the fuckin' glove.
Give me the glove.
1300
01:14:37,682 --> 01:14:39,514
You gotta cut the head off a live rooster.
1301
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,389
-[man] Come on! Play ball!
-[chattering]
1302
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,891
What the hell's going on out there?
1303
01:14:45,982 --> 01:14:48,690
Looks like a convention.
Pretty soon they ought to call the roll.
1304
01:14:48,776 --> 01:14:50,687
[laughing]
1305
01:14:50,778 --> 01:14:53,486
- Get your ass out there and check It out.
- You bet.
1306
01:14:57,201 --> 01:15:00,068
-[man] Let's play some baseball!
-[woman] Hurry up!
1307
01:15:01,247 --> 01:15:03,989
Excuse me.
What the hell's going on out here?
1308
01:15:04,542 --> 01:15:09,161
Well, Nuke's scared 'cause
his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here.
1309
01:15:09,255 --> 01:15:11,667
We need a live - Was it a live rooster?
1310
01:15:11,757 --> 01:15:14,294
We need a live rooster
to take the curse off José's glove.
1311
01:15:14,385 --> 01:15:18,470
And nobody seems to know what to get
Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present.
1312
01:15:18,556 --> 01:15:19,887
- That about right?
- That's right.
1313
01:15:19,974 --> 01:15:21,464
We're dealing with a lot of shit.
1314
01:15:22,852 --> 01:15:25,594
Okay, well, uh,
candlesticks always make a nice gift,
1315
01:15:25,688 --> 01:15:27,929
and maybe you could find out
where she's registered.
1316
01:15:28,024 --> 01:15:30,686
Maybe a place setting
or maybe a silverware pattern's good.
1317
01:15:30,776 --> 01:15:32,858
Okay, let's get two. Here we go.
1318
01:15:40,119 --> 01:15:43,111
[Garland on radio]
LaL oosh looks in for the sign. Here's the pitch.
1319
01:15:43,205 --> 01:15:45,993
Ball hit deep into right field,
off the wall.
1320
01:15:46,083 --> 01:15:49,451
- You should be at the game, Annie.
- Mm-mmm. I'm fine.
1321
01:15:49,545 --> 01:15:53,459
Beautiful night for baseball here in Durham,
and as the batter steps in -
1322
01:15:53,549 --> 01:15:59,966
How much time did you and Jimmy
spend together before he proposed?
1323
01:16:00,056 --> 01:16:02,263
About five hours, I guess.
1324
01:16:02,349 --> 01:16:04,807
- We both just knew.
- Hmm.
1325
01:16:06,103 --> 01:16:07,264
Annie...
1326
01:16:08,314 --> 01:16:10,555
do you think I deserve to wear white?
1327
01:16:11,734 --> 01:16:14,772
- Honey, we all deserve to wear white-
- Ball 2, in the dint
1328
01:16:14,862 --> 01:16:16,603
[Larry] Come on, Nuke! Go get him!
1329
01:16:17,948 --> 01:16:20,781
-[crowd groans]
- Shit! Piss! Fuck!
1330
01:16:21,327 --> 01:16:22,488
Right! Right! Right!
1331
01:16:22,578 --> 01:16:24,285
Bring it! Bring it! Bring it!
1332
01:16:24,371 --> 01:16:25,361
Come on!
1333
01:16:25,456 --> 01:16:28,949
He's gonna go home! Home! Home!
We got him! Got him!
1334
01:16:30,419 --> 01:16:32,251
- Safe!
- No! No! I got him!
1335
01:16:32,338 --> 01:16:35,080
- You missed him. You missed him.
- No, I got him! I didn't miss him!
1336
01:16:35,174 --> 01:16:39,259
