00:00 Your father has declined to any medical intervention.
00:04 You didn't know?
00:05 I just found out recently.
00:07 When?
00:08 Very recently, like when you just said it.
00:11 He was diagnosed months ago.
00:13 We're a close family.
00:17 Really nice of you to come be with your dad.
00:18 How old are you, Teddy?
00:19 33.
00:20 There's something too old and too young about you at the same time, you know what I mean?
00:24 No, I don't.
00:25 So, how you been doing?
00:27 Aside from the cancer, terrific.
00:29 I'm an unpublished loser.
00:32 How long do you plan to stay?
00:33 Until one of us kills the other.
00:34 Mute.
00:35 You don't have to say the word mute.
00:36 Just pressing the button.
00:37 Mute.
00:38 Mute.
00:39 Tuesday.
00:40 Dad's mental and physical health is literally dependent on whether the socks win or lose.
00:45 Socks lost again.
00:46 So, I am creating a safe zone where the socks can't lose.
00:50 I've even got the boy who delivers papers in this bubble.
00:53 Go socks!
00:54 Curse over cancer.
00:56 That way, it gives us some time to, you know, keep him healthy until his socks get together.
01:01 You gonna get dressed?
01:02 You uptight naked in front of your father?
01:05 Just perfectly respectable break you got there, son.
01:12 Austin is up over the Yankees.
01:13 It's a party!
01:14 It's a party!
01:15 Remember my adopted daughter, Ted?
01:16 I'm not adopted.
01:17 I've looked back upon my life and thought that what I've done hasn't amounted to much.
01:22 I see that I wasn't thinking about him, Mother.
01:25 You thinking about the socks.
01:27 Well, we deserve more from you.
01:29 He's been a victim.
01:31 He's been a scapegoat.
01:33 Now he just needs you.
01:34 Don't let me die, Ted.
01:35 Don't let me die.
01:36 Come with me.
01:37 Do you smell that?
01:38 It smells like baseball.
01:39 There are a million ways to tell a life story.
01:40 As a comedy, as a tragedy, as a fairy tale.
01:41 Our baseball teams keep you alive.
01:42 He's trying to tell you his story in his way.
01:43 Baseball is the only game that death is jealous of.
02:08 Baseball defeats time.
02:09 Maybe baseball has the possibility of going on forever.
02:13 This is getting to be your neck of the woods, outside Boston.
02:17 No, I've never even been there, actually.
02:19 What?
02:20 Why are you a Sox fan?
02:21 I like rubbing people the wrong way.
02:22 [Music]
