00:02:31The Red Sox with a chance to win their first World Series since 1918
00:02:36And now with a word on just how bad it's going to be out there
00:02:39It's the traffic man Lone Eagle looking straight down at us
00:02:44Another day of traffic
00:02:47Traffic everywhere I look
00:02:49Cars stop and go and stop again
00:02:52People sit at the wheel
00:02:54Thinking their thoughts
00:02:56Day in, day out
00:02:59Red light, green light
00:03:01Traffic on the major arteries
00:03:04And traffic in the little veins
00:03:07Cars
00:03:08Vans
00:03:09Taxis
00:03:11Trucks
00:03:12Twelve hours to game time
00:03:15There's something you can't bear to face
00:03:18Is there a medication you can count on?
00:03:21Does it prevent history from happening?

00:03:53Even if you're feeling well
00:03:57But when do you ever feel well?
00:04:00Traffic
00:04:01Yesterday
00:04:02Today
00:04:03And tomorrow
00:04:04Bumper to bumper
00:04:05Soul to soul
00:04:08This is Lone Eagle
00:04:10Over and out
00:04:13Taxi
00:04:14Go!
00:04:43I used to drive a taxi
00:04:53I ate and I drove
00:04:56I wrapped my sandwiches in tin foil
00:04:58You are going where?
00:05:00Across town
00:05:02Pretty bad today
00:05:03I had one of those big checkered caps
00:05:05You know
00:05:06I was religious about my ashtrays
00:05:07I just bring my ashtrays
00:05:09Religiously
00:05:10I am sitting here five years in traffic
00:05:13It is one continuous traffic since I arrived
00:05:17Why must it be?
00:05:19Why must it be?
00:05:27Laurel
00:05:28Honey
00:05:29Hey
00:05:30Wait
00:05:31Wait
00:05:32Hey
00:05:33Keep the meter running
00:05:34Okay?
00:05:35And try to stay abreast
00:05:36Keep up
00:05:37Hey
00:05:39Hi
00:05:40How come I can't see you anymore?
00:05:42Where are you all day?
00:05:43I'm at college
00:05:44Thought you knew
00:05:45Want to get a coffee?
00:05:46I don't drink coffee, Daddy
00:05:47This is not what we should be talking about
00:05:49What do you want to talk about?
00:05:50I'll talk about anything you want to talk about
00:05:52What's this?
00:05:53Senior play tonight, remember?
00:05:55Why do you need a radio?
00:05:56So I can listen to the ball game at intermission
00:05:58Do you know that Mother is seeing a prominent divorce lawyer?
00:06:01Don't talk like that
00:06:03Man
00:06:07How prominent?
00:06:08What do you imply?
00:06:09She's doing like those Iranians
00:06:10I divorce thee
00:06:11I divorce thee
00:06:12I divorce thee
00:06:13I divorce thee
00:06:14Okay, okay
00:06:15Look, look, look
00:06:16He has to hear it
00:06:17At the same time I do
00:06:18What happened to family secrets?
00:06:19Mother is, you know, totally upset
00:06:21So can we talk about it in private?
00:06:23It's divorce, not incest
00:06:28Abelhausen
00:06:30We're gonna be getting out of here
00:06:33Clements was hit hard here in game number two
00:06:36After a bout with a bluer
00:06:37Pitching on only three days rest for the third straight time
00:06:40Nicky
00:06:41Hey, George
00:06:42You don't come here for a while, everything's okay
00:06:45Everything's great
00:06:46Look at you, you're so healthy, thick-bodied
00:06:48I just want to punch you right in the chest
00:06:50This is my daughter, Laurel
00:06:51My pleasure
00:06:52I just want to hear how it sounds
00:06:54I saw your picture in the paper
00:06:56Two papers
00:06:57Yeah, that means they're getting ready to kill me
00:06:59It's not what I hear
00:07:00I got four or five actors working here
00:07:02His best play since Yes Siree, Bob
00:07:04I'm telling you, they say this
00:07:06He doesn't want to hear it
00:07:09Thanks the way I see it, Al
00:07:10Number one is pitching
00:07:12Number two is pitching
00:07:13And don't be surprised, but number three is pitching
00:07:16Now they got O'Hita going for the Mets
00:07:18On only three days rest
00:07:19If lawyers for the mob are called controversial, why are divorce lawyers called prominent?
00:07:25Because they get outstanding settlements
00:07:27Mother's determined this time that there's no turning back
00:07:30I just talked to her this morning, she said not one word about this
00:07:33Because you refuse to believe she's serious
00:07:35You've always refused
00:07:37Why are you so steely-eyed?
00:07:38You know why?
00:07:39It's that course you're taking your criminology
00:07:41Look, she wants you to stop seeing what's her name
00:07:43Okay, finally
00:07:44Now and forever
00:07:45Do you think that's too much to ask of your wife of 19 years?
00:07:49Look, how?
00:07:50You know, mother won't even tell me how long you've been seeing this person
00:07:52Okay, she's embarrassed to tell me, so why don't you tell me?
00:07:55Why do you always call her mother? It sounds so tragic and unforgiving
00:07:59What ever happened to mom? How about mom?
00:08:00I didn't turn her into mother, you did
00:08:02This person and I are a thing of the total past, I promise
00:08:07You know what mother said to me?
00:08:10The daddy's demons are so intense
00:08:14He doesn't even know when he's lying
00:08:17I don't
00:08:20Jesus Christ
00:08:31I used to drive a cab
00:08:33Where are you going, mister?
00:08:35I love driving a cab
00:08:37Loved it
00:08:38Loved my taxi
00:08:39I go 12 hours non-stop except to pee
00:08:42Take pee breaks
00:08:43Pee under the Manhattan Bridge
00:08:44Pee in the parks
00:08:45Empty playgrounds
00:08:46Parking lots
00:08:47He'd many times been on the Manhattan Bridge
00:08:49I used to be head of neurosurgery
00:08:52Big hospital in UDSSR
00:08:56This hospital, I'm not kidding
00:08:58Big, huh?
00:08:59I opened thousands of brains
00:09:02What'd you find?
00:09:06Big mess
00:09:07Every time
00:09:15Big mess
00:09:31Hey!
00:09:32All right.
00:10:02Was I expecting you?
00:10:17Uh, spur of the moment kind of thing.
00:10:23Alan Albright called me a handsome woman last night.
00:10:27It's the second time he's done that, this son of a bitch.
00:10:30Hey, I heard Alan's sick.
00:10:32Alan's very sick.
00:10:34You know about Adele?
00:10:35What about her?
00:10:37She's dying.
00:10:39She died.
00:10:42I just talked to her like two days ago.
00:10:44Well, apparently it didn't help.
00:10:47You know about Peter, of course.
00:10:49Our Peter?
00:10:50Yeah.
00:10:51They figured out why he can't remember his lines.
00:10:53There's something living in his brain.
00:10:56Parasite he picked up in Borneo during the movie.
00:10:59Can't get through it?
00:11:00They're watching him closely.
00:11:02There's an emergency rehearsal this afternoon.
00:11:04They want you to be there to bolster his confidence.
00:11:08And that's not all, Nicky.
00:11:09I've been backing your plays for 15 years,
00:11:11and I have never been more depressed.
00:11:13About what?
00:11:16Steven Schwimmer.
00:11:18The most ruthless critic in town getting his first crack at Nicky Rogan.
00:11:21This is another situation, right, where you're trying to find a disaster worse than anything I can come up with?
00:11:26I'm not worried about this guy.
00:11:28I just want to get a haircut.
00:11:29Yeah, well, ever since he started reviewing Broadway, nobody's worried about anything else.
00:11:33Yeah, let them send their brilliant board credit.
00:11:36They've got bigger things to worry about than tonight's opening.
00:11:39What?
00:11:40Red Sox.
00:11:41Well, I thought they were winning.
00:11:43They are.
00:11:44Three games to two.
00:11:45But if you know anything about the team's history, you'll know there's a tragedy in the making.
00:11:50I've been carrying this franchise on my back since I'm six years old.
00:11:55I can't be that personal.
00:11:57You have a team you've followed all your life and then raise your hopes and crush them and then lift them and then crush them.
00:12:05You want me to tell you what that's like?
00:12:07That's like having your whole childhood die.
00:12:15Over and over and over again.
00:12:18I mean, Mickey, really?
00:12:20No.
00:12:21Yeah.
00:12:22I've been waiting a long time for you to write this play.
00:12:26I'm really proud of it.
00:12:28Of course, you were a lot sexier when you were writing crap.
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:33You didn't really like me very much then, did you?
00:12:35No, I didn't.
00:12:36You don't really like me very much now, do you?
00:12:37No, I don't.
00:12:38I'll see you tonight.
00:12:40Red Sox blow a chance to win their first World Series since 1918.
00:12:44You expect me to miss that for an opening night?
00:12:46I don't think so.
00:12:48Yeah, I'll be there.
00:12:49It makes me so mad.
00:12:51Steven Schwimmer, the exterminating angel ready to strike.
00:12:56It's all worked out.
00:12:57I lose tonight.
00:12:58They lose tomorrow night.
00:13:00I see the stunning clarity.
00:13:02It's your best play, Nicky.
00:13:03It's the most truthful work you've ever done.
00:13:05And I lose because of my team.
00:13:08He will absolutely hate it.
00:13:38You're welcome.
00:13:40It's fun.
00:13:41You're welcome, Nicky.
00:13:42You're welcome.
00:13:43What are we doing?
00:13:44You're welcome.
00:13:45I won't do it.
00:13:46I'm ready.
00:13:47You're welcome.
00:13:48We'll be here.
00:13:50traumatizing passar legs
00:13:51I wanna meet you all the way out!
00:13:52It waters of maturity全部 happens.
00:13:54grandes halles,
00:14:08I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:38I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:48I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:53Elliot?
00:14:54Nicky, I was thinking about you.
00:14:57I went to the preview of the play last night.
00:14:59I don't want to know.
00:15:00A lovely piece of theater.
00:15:02Small but important.
00:15:03Shut up, Elliot.
00:15:04Quietly effective.
00:15:06You know, we don't appreciate what they've done for us.
00:15:11We artists were just too dumb to know that this is the peak of Western culture.
00:15:16You're an artist.
00:15:17I'm a craftsman.
00:15:18Catch a button, they give us money.
00:15:23Let's take a ride.
00:15:28Come on.
00:15:29Let's get haircuts.
00:15:32Welcome back.
00:15:33For Daryl Strawberry and the Mets, this has been a season of eyes and lungs.
00:15:37Now, he's a man accustomed to this laughter.
00:15:40This past Thursday night, I'm at Fenway...
00:15:42How's Lillian?
00:15:43I haven't seen her lately.
00:15:44She wants a divorce.
00:15:45Oh, don't talk like that.
00:15:46Yeah, it's over.
00:15:47It's finished.
00:15:48It's done with.
00:15:49Sounds so final.
00:15:50But are we really surprised?
00:15:53I'm completely stunned.
00:15:55I don't want this to happen.
00:15:57But didn't we know what happened?
00:15:59Don't needle me, Elliot.
00:16:00Tell me how badly you feel.
00:16:01You're supposed to feel badly together.
00:16:02That's what friends do.
00:16:03Joanna Bourne.
00:16:04So rich, crisp.
00:16:05This woman, she lets you touch her body, put your hands on her personal parts?
00:16:20He said don't needle me, Elliot.
00:16:22But then, then, you don't have to know if...
00:16:25You trivial.
00:16:26We must abandon it.
00:16:35What do you mean we must abandon?
00:16:36Raptured steam pipe.
00:16:37Raptured steam pipe?
00:16:38Asbestos lining.
00:16:39Do not inhale.
00:16:40Contaminated substance.
00:16:41Very dangerous.
00:16:42Do not inhale.
00:16:43We must abandon it.
00:16:43Raptured steam pipe.
00:16:50Very dangerous.
00:16:51Asbestos lining?
00:16:53We must abandon it.
00:16:54Do not inhale.
00:16:55Let's go.
00:17:25You know, I'm trying to remember, when did you start looking so terrible?
00:17:34Because you look awful.
00:17:35Oh, I can tell you the year, the day, the night, the minute.
00:17:39You used to love life.
00:17:42You don't exude this anymore.
00:17:43What do I exude?
00:17:45Suffering.
00:17:46You exude a person who sits in a small, dark apartment eating soft white bread.
00:17:54Tonight you'll see what it's like to suffer.
00:17:56Oh, yeah?
00:17:57Why?
00:17:58What's tonight?
00:17:58Shit, they don't have the carrot soup.
00:18:02Oh.
00:18:03Give me because of what's his name?
00:18:05You will suffer because he's in the theater, and you will suffer a thousandfold when that
00:18:10review appears.
00:18:12It's just a review.
00:18:13It's just a review.
00:18:15Do not inhale.
00:18:16Very dangerous.
00:18:17I don't get it.
00:18:21What's the fuss?
00:18:24You reviewed that one act I did at the Fulton Fish Market.
00:18:27We did this play at four in the morning, outdoors, in the rain.
00:18:33One performance for fish handlers.
00:18:35And he was there, Steven Schwimmer.
00:18:41I memorized every line of this review.
00:18:45That's awful.
00:18:46I recite it to myself with masochistic relish.
00:18:51Yes-siree, Bob.
00:18:53Yes-siree, Bob.
00:18:56This man, he's just taken over my mind.
00:18:59I mean, he's out there, but he's in my head, and I can't get rid of him.
00:19:02I can't write one word without imagining.
00:19:04I mean, what his response is going to be.
00:19:07I am paralyzed as an artist.
00:19:11See, I don't have the problems you artists have.
00:19:15I've been saying that for years.
00:19:17What?
00:19:18No, I'm just a professional.
00:19:19I'm just a choose-paying member of the guild.
00:19:22You are afraid, Nicky.
00:19:24That's the darkest part of you.
00:19:27You don't think you're good enough.
00:19:30Well, hey, you know, maybe we'll...
00:19:34Hey, it's mine.
00:19:36Don't...
00:19:37Stay away from me.
00:19:38Hold on.
00:19:38What?
00:19:39What can I get...
00:19:40You guys ready to order?
00:19:45Paisley Porter?
00:19:47I didn't know you worked here.
00:19:50Elliot?
00:19:50This is a very talented, young, out-of-work actress.
00:19:54Elliot Litvack.
00:19:56Have you been ill?
00:19:57And Mr. Rogan, how nice.
00:20:00Hi.
00:20:00Don't worry.
00:20:01Nice to see you.
00:20:02What's good today?
00:20:03We have a very nice pasta today.
00:20:05A la puttanesca.
00:20:06Say it again.
00:20:08A la puttanesca.
00:20:09See?
00:20:10What did I tell you?
00:20:11It's great.
00:20:12Great talent.
00:20:13Very nice.
00:20:19Sorry.
00:20:19Oh, my God.
00:21:19I got a real good feeling about tonight.
00:21:41We got Ojeda going.
00:21:42He pitched a beautiful game last time.
00:21:44And plus, Daryl, he's due for a big game.
00:21:47Of course.
00:21:47I hate to match up.
00:21:48I hate to match up.
00:21:50No.
00:21:51How come?
00:21:52I can't respect them.
00:21:53Because when the Mets lose, they just lose.
00:21:55It's a flat feeling.
00:21:56There's nothing there.
00:21:57And the Red Sox.
00:21:59Now here, we have a rich history of really fascinating ways to lose a crucial game.
00:22:06You know what I mean?
00:22:07Defeats that just keep you awake at night.
00:22:11They pound in your head like the hammer of fate.
00:22:18Yeah, you can analyze the Red Sox game day and night for a month and still uncover really complex layers of feelings.
00:22:26Feelings you don't even know you're capable of having.
00:22:30Yeah.
00:22:31That kind of pain has a memory all of its own.
00:22:33Six hours to game time and the traffic's getting tense.
00:22:45Maybe you're a Red Sox fan.
00:22:47You live here among us, taking our parking spaces, luring our women into your cars.
00:22:52But there's a sense of impending ruin.
00:22:54There's the thing that always happens, because it has to.
00:23:04Maybe you don't take a medication.
00:23:06Maybe, for what you have, they didn't develop anything yet.
00:23:11Lone Eagle, up and away.
00:23:16Elliot Lidback Brothers' theater of mediocrity at the Fulton Fish Market had dawned the other day.
00:23:21And the first issue we must raise is cruelty to fish.
00:23:24Gets funnier.
00:23:26It gets funnier.
00:23:27See, they chart the laughs.
00:23:29This from a critic who lives like a fallen monk whose very address is a carefully guarded secret.
00:23:34A critic who has to disguise himself.
00:23:36What do you mean?
00:23:37To go to the theater.
00:23:38Where's, you know, I don't know what, makeup, padding.
00:23:40Why?
00:23:41Because he's so deeply hated by so many people in the business.
00:23:44He has to disguise himself, Nicky.
00:23:46For his own safety and peace of mind.
00:23:51You want to know what it was like reading that review at the newsstand?
00:23:56Trucks rumbled by.
00:23:58Street vendors facing Mecca.
00:24:00What was it like?
00:24:02I said, I'm dead.
00:24:07He killed me.
00:24:09Thanks.
00:24:10Thanks.
00:24:11My name is Nicky.
00:24:13Reçl calling radio Punkt замеч声
00:24:30лучше from playing stage for off of Sergei.
00:24:34You want to know what's going on?
00:24:36I'm down, Georgie, as I got stuck in this as best...
00:24:38Listen carefully to the panic in my voice.
00:24:41Peter Redmond.
00:24:43Get here, Nicky, now.
00:24:48Nicky, how are you doing? You look good.
00:24:50I'm dying.
00:24:51Yeah, it suits you.
00:24:53The new play, it's coming along all right?
00:24:54I'll tell you the truth, Georgie, I don't...
00:24:56Hey, good for you.
00:25:01...also writes the way he looks.
00:25:03He's grubby and shifty.
00:25:06I'll clear out his vision.
00:25:20Yes, okay, okay, that's it.
00:25:25So you worked with Elliot?
00:25:27I was in the fish market play.
00:25:31What happened to him?
00:25:32There was a review.
00:25:33I think I remember.
00:25:35So does Elliot.
00:25:37Not one of Stephen's finer moments.
00:25:39Oh, so you know him?
00:25:41A little.
00:25:42He has finer moments now, then.
00:25:44He has something.
00:25:45Funny little quality that I find...
00:25:48Endearing?
00:25:49Engaging.
00:25:53Elliot wants to kill him on the railroads, but...
00:25:55...bothering.
00:25:58Stephen's a complicated guy.
00:26:00Say it again.
00:26:01It's gonna be good.
00:26:02What?
00:26:03You know what?
00:26:04I love Putin, Esca.
00:26:05One more time.
00:26:06I hear really good things about your new play.
00:26:07Yeah.
00:26:08Yeah, it's good.
00:26:09Got a, you know, a little problem, but...
00:26:10Peter Redmond's an actor that I admire enormously.
00:26:11Yeah, he's great.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:13He's great.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:15Great.
00:26:16Want to meet him?
00:26:17He does want to meet some out of work ingenue.
00:26:18Sure he does.
00:26:19I'm serious.
00:26:20I have to go to the rehearsal right now.
00:26:21We're at the theater.
00:26:22Really?
00:26:23Really.
00:26:24Okay.
00:26:25Sure.
00:26:26Where are you going?
00:26:27I have to go to the, I have to go to the theater.
00:26:41Is it safe?
00:26:42Everywhere's safe?
00:26:43What about my hair cut?
00:26:44Uh, Claudius!
00:26:45I don't want my haircut.
00:26:46I don't want my haircut.
00:26:47I don't want my haircut.
00:26:49I don't really want my haircut.
00:26:50I don't really want my haircut.
00:26:53I don't really want my haircut.
00:26:54So is that true?
00:27:24Is what true?
00:27:25That he wears a disguise.
00:27:27He goes to extremes to protect his privacy.
00:27:30No phone, no friends.
00:27:32But sure is right.
00:27:33Sort of. Sometimes.
00:27:37He doesn't live the kind of life you think he does.
00:27:40He doesn't even have a toilet.
00:27:44You're not building some kind of obsession by Steven, are you?
00:27:47I mean, I understand opening night jitters,
00:27:49but you've got one of the great American theater actors
00:27:51starring in your play tonight.
00:27:54I just can't take it anymore.
00:28:01He forgets simple lines, he forgets where to stand,
00:28:04and we tell him, and we tell him, and we tell him.
00:28:07I know he's a sweet man. I love Peter.
00:28:10I know it's not his fault.
00:28:12But I have never worked on a show
00:28:14where the leading man has a parasite in his brain.
00:28:18Oh, Christ.
00:28:20Joanna remains optimistic.
00:28:26Joanna.
00:28:27Joanna Born, our producer.
00:28:29I was educated by nuns.
00:28:31Yes.
00:28:33I have excellent long-term memory.
00:28:35Yes.
00:28:35I kissed Shirley Felder on the teeth.
00:28:44My parasite is consuming all the new memory.
00:28:47It's eating my lines.
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:50You have to see the words.
00:28:51Try to build a mental picture of the script.
00:28:54Imagine your lines highlighted by a felt tip pen.
00:28:57What color?
00:28:58What was your favorite color crane as a kid?
00:29:01Burnt sienna.
00:29:01Okay, mine was cobalt plug.
00:29:06Oh, Nicky.
00:29:08This is all your history, isn't it?
00:29:11All around us.
00:29:12Yeah.
00:29:17My parasite is eating it.
00:29:20Yeah.
00:29:23I kissed her while she was laughing.
00:29:24Oh, dear God.
00:29:27My heart was flying out of my chest with love.
00:29:30I heard he got the parasite in Burma.
00:29:33I heard Borneo.
00:29:35Why are we playing the third world for our parasites?
00:29:37Maybe he got it in Denver or Minneapolis.
00:29:41Maybe he got it in Borneo.
00:29:42I feel shaky about one line in particular.
00:29:47I think if I could get this line, I could handle the last long speech.
00:29:51Which line, Peter?
00:29:52Huh?
00:29:54Which line?
00:29:55The son says to the father, this could be it.
00:29:59And the father replies.
00:30:00Yeah, that's the line that I can't, I can't for the life of me remember.
00:30:04It just, I can't get it.
00:30:06It's the same line.
00:30:07The father simply repeats what the son says to him.
00:30:12This could be it.
00:30:14This could be it.
00:30:18I know it sounds easy, but something happens between the time that I hear the line and the
00:30:26time that I'm supposed to repeat it.
00:30:28This could be it.
00:30:34This could be it.
00:30:37Let's work on it.
00:30:49Let's work on it.
00:30:50Oh, boy.
00:30:55I think what would be really good here is if we just started from the top, Peter.
00:30:59Do you think he can do it?
00:31:00I don't know.
00:31:02He's a very sweet man.
00:31:03Yes, he is.
00:31:04I gotta go.
00:31:07So, uh, where are you going now?
00:31:08Home.
00:31:09Is there, uh, someone waiting for you there?
00:31:12No one's waiting for me there.
00:31:14You know, there's a certain kind of wounded young man who, uh, uses his oddness to get
00:31:21laid.
00:31:21Is that our Steven?
00:31:23If I'm sleeping with him and I haven't said that I am, then so what?
00:31:26So what?
00:31:27So, you know, everything.
00:31:28So I start to think about crazy things.
00:31:30You want to talk about crazy things?
00:31:33Yes.
00:31:35Never mind.
00:31:38Wait, Paisley, come on.
00:31:40Steven not only wears disguises, he goes to the theater armed.
00:31:44This could be it.
00:31:46This could be it.
00:31:47This could be it.
00:31:50This could be it.
00:31:51This could be it.
00:31:53This could be it.
00:31:54This could be it.
00:32:54Stephen?
00:32:55Stephen, open up.
00:33:09Stephen, open up.
00:33:11It's me.
00:33:14You've come to me.
00:33:19I wanted to believe you would one day.
00:33:22I haven't come to you.
00:33:27I didn't understand until today how much pain and anxiety you've been causing everyone
00:33:31with your reviews.
00:33:32Stephen, it's completely unfair.
00:33:34It's unfair.
00:33:35Yes.
00:33:36The truth is always unfair.
00:33:38Well, it doesn't have to be.
00:33:39Why do you think I live this way?
00:33:41Why do you think I'm taking electricity from a lamppost and hiding out?
00:33:44Why?
00:33:45I used to.
00:33:46No, because people who write the truth are the outcasts of society.
00:33:49I can't live openly.
00:33:51I can't live in a nice dorm man building with my name on the mailbox because they'd come
00:33:55after me in packs.
00:33:56Not if you wrote the truth gently.
00:33:58But the truth is never gentle.
00:34:03Listen to me carefully.
00:34:05Each of us lives in the thinnest possible wrapping of wishes and dreams.
00:34:12And truth is the force that penetrates this wispy skin.
00:34:16It hurts and it maims.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:19That's my job.
00:34:20And look.
00:34:21They hate me.
00:34:22They hate me.
00:34:23Yeah.
00:34:24For writing the truth.
00:34:25Okay?
00:34:26And that's why I thought I might be able to come here and convince you to reconsider.
00:34:31And I thought, at last.
00:34:34She's here.
00:34:36She wants me.
00:34:38I don't want you, Steven.
00:34:39Stay.
00:34:40Stay, please.
00:34:41Teach me how to be compassionate.
00:34:43I'm going home to my machine.
00:34:55Ow.
00:34:56Hey!
00:34:57How are you?
00:34:58Ow.
00:34:59Hi, I'm so good.
00:35:00That's back.
00:35:01Ah!
00:35:02Ah!
00:35:03Good job.
00:35:04Whoa.
00:35:05What?
00:35:10Barry,ıt.
00:35:15Heel!
00:35:21Heel!
00:35:22Heel!
00:35:23Heel!
00:35:24Laurel!
00:35:25Laurel!
00:35:26Excuse me.
00:35:27Hey.
00:35:28All the tickets are set.
00:35:29I double-checked.
00:35:30Oh, thanks, Eddie.
00:35:31But I only need one.
00:35:32Other's not gone.
00:35:33It's opening night.
00:35:34I know.
00:35:35Why should a bitter divorce interfere with tradition?
00:35:38Uh, Rogan Laurel, there's also Rogan Lillian.
00:35:39I'm sorry.
00:35:40I'm sorry.
00:35:41I'm sorry.
00:35:42I'm sorry.
00:35:43I'm sorry.
00:35:44I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm sorry.
00:35:46I'm sorry.
00:35:47I'm sorry.
00:35:48I'm sorry.
00:35:49I'm sorry.
00:35:50I'm sorry.
00:35:51I'm sorry.
00:35:52I'm sorry.
00:35:53There's also Rogan Lillian, which hasn't needed to sell it.
00:35:55Well, you take it.
00:35:56Get a date.
00:35:57Take a date.
00:35:58I don't have a date, and I don't want a date.
00:36:00Blame me.
00:36:01And it is because we never talk.
00:36:02So let's talk.
00:36:03I can't.
00:36:04I have class.
00:36:05I'm late.
00:36:06Okay.
00:36:07So let's talk later.
00:36:08You gonna go to the party?
00:36:09I'm not sure.
00:36:10Okay.
00:36:11So I'm gonna find you.
00:36:12Somewhere.
00:36:13After the show.
00:36:14Okay?
00:36:15Somewhere.
00:36:16Okay.
00:36:19Taxi!
00:36:23A man is hit the other day by another taxi.
00:36:38I mean, he's flying.
00:36:39Crashes right against my windscreen.
00:36:41Right in front of my eyes.
00:36:43Blood is everywhere.
00:36:45I never left the garage without my Windex.
00:36:48I was a barrister in Kenya.
00:36:50So I said to him, you have to get off from here.
00:36:53I cannot drive with your body on my windscreen.
00:36:56I drove straight through 12 hours a day.
00:36:58I just, you know, ate while I drove.
00:37:01You've got to eat at the wheel.
00:37:03You cannot get anywhere.
00:37:05Well, that's the drama, isn't it?
00:37:06I mean, we're waiting for life to continue.
00:37:10Hey, Abram, where'd you pee?
00:37:12Under the Manhattan Bridge.
00:37:14That's where I pee.
00:37:16That's where I pee.
00:37:17That's where I pee.
00:37:36That's where I pee.
00:38:03Who was it?
00:38:06I'm at the door.
00:38:07Go away, I'll call a cop.
00:38:09Pop, will you let me in?
00:38:11Where the hell are you?
00:38:13I'm right here.
00:38:14I'm at the door.
00:38:17What do you want?
00:38:18It's me, Nicky.
00:38:20Nicky comes on Sundays.
00:38:21Gee, get where are you?
00:38:23Go get your glasses.
00:38:24Find your glasses.
00:38:26If it's you, what are you doing here?
00:38:28I'm on my way to get a haircut.
00:38:30Where does Nicky get his haircut, gee?
00:38:33Across 9th Avenue, the same place you
00:38:35go to get your haircuts for the last 50 years.
00:38:37Same place Uncle Billy and Uncle Marty
00:38:39go to get their haircuts.
00:38:41Same place Jim already shot a guy for cheating at poker.
00:38:45It was rummy, not poker.
00:38:48I'll take a chance and let you in.
00:38:57It's a constant shock to me how small this place is.
00:39:02How do we do it, Pop?
00:39:03There are five people in these little rooms.
00:39:06Fix yourself something to eat.
00:39:09We must have been heroic.
00:39:11Five's not so many.
00:39:13There were families with seven kids, a grandmother,
00:39:16a dimwit uncle.
00:39:19You know, Lillian says it to me once a week.
00:39:21Why didn't you just come live with us?
00:39:22You know the answer to that.
00:39:24I do know the answer to that.
00:39:27Hey, Pop, let's go watch the game tonight.
00:39:28Put it on the Mannions.
00:39:29They're only going to lose.
00:39:31Of course they're going to lose.
00:39:32We'll watch them lose together.
00:39:34What good is heartbreak if you can't experience it firsthand?
00:39:36The Red Sox are your problem.
00:39:38I've never understood your thing with the Red Sox.
00:39:41Everybody rooted for the Yankees.
00:39:43The Red Sox lose Saturday.
00:39:44Then they lose Sunday.
00:39:45I cry for 24 hours.
00:39:46Then they get in fist fights the rest of the week.
00:39:47Well, it's one thing, good kids.
00:39:48You get older, you got other things.
00:39:50I could have been happy.
00:39:51Could have been a Yankees fan.
00:39:52Yeah.
00:39:53Could have been a divorce lawyer.
00:39:54Here.
00:39:55Take these.
00:39:56You're going to need those for a play.
00:39:57No, don't make me sit through one of your plays.
00:40:00Now, what, Pop, I know you hate me, but you're going to lose Sunday.
00:40:02I'm going to lose Sunday.
00:40:03I cry for 24 hours, and I'm going to get in fist fights the rest of the week.
00:40:06Well, it's one thing, good kids.
00:40:07You get older, you got other things.
00:40:08I could have been happy.
00:40:09Could have been a Yankees fan.
00:40:10Yeah.
00:40:11Could have been a divorce lawyer.
00:40:12Here, take these.
00:40:15You're going to need those for a play.
00:40:18No, don't make me sit through one of your plays.
00:40:20You know what, Pop?
00:40:21I know you hate the commotion of opening night.
00:40:26This means a lot to me.
00:40:29Okay?
00:40:31It's no territory for me.
00:40:34I really want to know what you think.
00:40:37Since when did that matter?
00:40:39All right, we have to talk about that.
00:40:41My back is killing me.
00:40:42Where's your elastic brace?
00:40:44I can't find it.
00:40:45You got to wear the brace.
00:40:46I lost it.
00:40:47I lose everything.
00:40:49All right, you know what?
00:40:51I'm going to go get you another one.
00:40:54You have to wear the brace, all right?
00:40:58Hey, take a good look at this face.
00:41:05So I know who I'm letting in.
00:41:07Exactly.
00:41:08Two hours to game time.
00:41:21Never mind the traffic.
00:41:22We're not interested in that.
00:41:23We're interested in history.
00:41:25Lost games.
00:41:27Lost dreams.
00:41:28Possible side effects of this medication.
00:41:31If your erections seem to speak to you in broken English.
00:41:36If you develop bodily marks that correspond to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus.
00:41:42Maybe you don't take a medication, but you get the side effects anyway.
00:41:48This is Lone Eagle, in your face and out of your life.
00:42:02Why doesn't he come live with us?
00:42:05Because everything is here.
00:42:07I know, Pop.
00:42:09I'm lucky they don't knock the building down.
00:42:11It could happen any time.
00:42:13And everything worth remembering is right here.
00:42:16I think the building's okay.
00:42:18At least for the time being.
00:42:20You didn't think it was okay when you lived here.
00:42:23You wanted to get out so fast, I thought you were running the marathon.
00:42:27Normal boy's ambitions.
00:42:29I like coming back, you know that.
00:42:31You tell your friends your father used to work the docks.
00:42:34Calloused hands.
00:42:36But you had an attitude when you were growing up.
00:42:39It wasn't easy for your mother and me to understand.
00:42:42I was in a hurry.
00:42:43We'd do big things.
00:42:44Make big mistakes.
00:42:45Any mistake was okay as long as it was big.
00:42:50Hey, Pop.
00:42:53I got getting ready to kill my play, starting tonight.
00:42:56There's a guy out there who's gonna rip it apart.
00:42:58And it's about us, who we are.
00:43:01Where we come from.
00:43:04So, what are you gonna do about it?
00:43:08What should I do about it?
00:43:13Show them who we are.
00:43:38...
00:43:42...
00:43:47...
00:43:53...
00:43:54He carries a gun.
00:44:06And you should carry a gun.
00:44:08Yeah, I used to carry a gun when I drove a cab.
00:44:10Where is it?
00:44:10I gave it away. I figured I'm a writer now.
00:44:13That was a big mistake.
00:44:15Should always carry a gun. In this city?
00:44:17If he carries a gun, you have to carry a gun.
00:44:19I'm not a lonely, spooky writer like you, nursing a hundred grudges.
00:44:23I'm a man who loves life.
00:44:25I'm talking about something deeper than grudges.
00:44:27How do you respond to personal attack?
00:44:29In this city? You don't carry a gun?
00:44:32This is your best play, Nicky.
00:44:33Don't hate it.
00:44:35He'll kill it.
00:44:36He'll write a review so devastating it will shatter your career.
00:44:41It will cause the most unmanageable psychic grief.
00:44:46What about your apartment in the East River, hmm?
00:44:48Your home in Connecticut, where you watch things grow.
00:44:52Yeah, we were thinking of putting in a pool, too.
00:44:54No.
00:45:05Elliot Letback is a one-man cult of the tragically third rate.
00:45:12I'm telling you as a friend.
00:45:13What?
00:45:14There are things that speak to us from the past.
00:45:16In this city, you don't walk out your door five feet and there's somebody ready to take what's yours.
00:45:21Your truth is locked up in the past.
00:45:24Find it.
00:45:26Know it for what it is.
00:45:29Shoot him, Nicky.
00:45:33Shoot him.
00:45:34American theater doesn't need people like that.
00:45:36Shoot him.
00:45:36Shoot him, Nicky.
00:45:49Hey, I know you know we're just talking.
00:45:52But, uh, where does he live?
00:45:5647th and the River.
00:45:58I followed a friend Paisley there.
00:46:01How do you like your sideburns?
00:46:03Elegant and refined.
00:46:05Be safe.
00:46:23I love you.
00:46:27I love you.
00:46:27I love you.
00:46:28I love you.
00:46:29I love you.
00:47:29I'm looking at you, trying to think.
00:47:56Put your face in the mirror.
00:47:59I know I recognize you from somewhere.
00:48:02Oh, yeah?
00:48:04You're Frankie Lazaro, the gangster from Rhode Island.
00:48:07Matthew, look at him.
00:48:09When I lived in Roxbury, the media followed this man everywhere.
00:48:13He was bigger than ten movie stars.
00:48:15Where's your white Lincoln limo, Mr. Lazaro?
00:48:19Some kids stole my hubcaps.
00:48:20The most charming gangster in New England.
00:48:23So why do you have a kid with you?
00:48:25Matthew's my grandson.
00:48:26Oh, you're a grandmother. God bless you.
00:48:28Yes, he does bless me each and every day.
00:48:31Matthew's mother works the night shift at the hospital, so I pick him up from school.
00:48:35Oh, yeah?
00:48:35We have a meal, usually around this time.
00:48:38And he gets experience meeting people, but we never had a famous mobster before.
00:48:42Nope.
00:48:43Today's your lucky day, kid.
00:48:46This is one charming crook.
00:48:48If shooting people is charming.
00:48:50Well, now that's a complicated subject.
00:48:52It's a simple subject.
00:48:53So where are we going tonight, Mr. Lazaro?
00:49:15So is this where you want to be, Frankie?
00:49:18This is where I want to be.
00:49:19It's dinner time for you. It's game time for me.
00:49:24Let's get out of here. We'll go to Mainlands.
00:49:26We'll say, Matthew, Trix will be here to talk baseball.
00:49:28Cool.
00:49:29All right. Let's go.
00:49:39Get out!
00:49:39...reasons for an unexpected guest at Shane Stadium.
00:49:43Come on, come on.
00:49:46Everybody, everybody.
00:49:47What happens if somebody comes in here right now and shoots you?
00:49:54This place becomes famous.
00:49:56Tour buses, blind people feeling their way around the walls.
00:49:58You're a little old.
00:50:00You see what you're doing, don't you?
00:50:01What am I doing?
00:50:02You're charming the boy.
00:50:03Hey, Toyota, you asked me a question.
00:50:05Frankie Lazaro coming down the courthouse steps in the media.
00:50:09Children see this.
00:50:09They think you're the secretary of the treasury.
00:50:11No, that's my cousin, Angelo.
00:50:12Yeah, this could be it.
00:50:18This could be it.
00:50:20This could be it.
00:50:22This could be it.
00:50:23This could be it.
00:50:27This could be it.
00:50:29Does that feel comfortable?
00:50:31What feel comfortable?
00:50:34This could be it.
00:50:35That's a good beer.
00:50:49Oh, thank you.
00:50:52What's it like to shoot somebody?
00:50:54I respect a kid who does his homework in a taxi cab,
00:50:56but I'm trying to watch a ball game here.
00:50:58Oh, go on, tell him. Tell him the truth.
00:51:01Tell him how you feel about shooting a piece of hot metal
00:51:03into somebody's flesh who was once a child,
00:51:06who was once the same age as this boy,
00:51:08somebody whose flesh was innocent once.
00:51:11What is that? The strike! Come on!
00:51:13It's complicated. I mean, it's a whole life, isn't it?
00:51:16A person doesn't just commit a violent act out of nowhere.
00:51:19There's strong horses at work.
00:51:22High drive up the Abbey.
00:51:25Let's go!
00:51:26Heading for the wall and wide the wall.
00:51:29Dykstra plays it. One run will score on a double by Evans,
00:51:33and then Rice holds at third.
00:51:35Look at a ball game here.
00:51:37So Dwight Evans gets the left-center field ball
00:51:41for a long double and a run batted in,
00:51:43and with first base open,
00:51:45it's a left-hand hitting Rich Getman coming up.
00:51:48Calls well in to play perfectly by Dykstra.
00:51:52Dykstra, he gets the camera.
00:51:54He's the cutoff man.
00:51:55I like him.
00:51:56I like him.
00:51:57I like him.
00:52:02You a family man, Frankie?
00:52:04Wife and daughter.
00:52:06My father's still alive.
00:52:08And how many years does it take a person
00:52:10to make sure his family is safe and secure and happy?
00:52:13And then one dumb moment, what does he do?
00:52:16I don't know, Toyota. What does he do?
00:52:18And the people he hurts the most are the ones who love him,
00:52:20despite who he is or what he does for a living.
00:52:23We always say we want to take control of our lives.
00:52:26You don't want to take control.
00:52:28You want to lose control.
00:52:29Jesus knows it.
00:52:37Yeah, well, that's a complicated subject.
00:52:40That's a simple subject.
00:52:43I want to go three and two with Knight and Bergen.
00:52:46Excuse me.
00:52:48I want to tell you, he's going a lot of pitches.
00:52:50As big and as strong as he is, that's a lot.
00:52:53Your father said he might be here.
00:52:55Hey, we're up by two and four.
00:52:57I'm looking for you because I wanted to let you know
00:52:59what's been going on so you don't have to read about it
00:53:01in the gossip column.
00:53:03He's stranded five runners in the first two innings,
00:53:05but it's going to come back to haunt us.
00:53:07I want to be fair-minded, Nicky.
00:53:09All right. All right.
00:53:11What's going on?
00:53:13I've been talking to a prominent divorce lawyer.
00:53:15How prominent?
00:53:18He has his own submarine.
00:53:21I'll be getting everything that matters.
00:53:23I'll get New York. I'll get Connecticut.
00:53:25Uh, I'll just have it over she's having.
00:53:28I don't want to be responsible for his food.
00:53:30I'll have a green salve and a Perrier.
00:53:32Give me, uh...
00:53:34Give me the base scallops.
00:53:36A little mercury poisoning.
00:53:38Yes, sir, even though.
00:53:40Yeah.
00:53:41Yeah!
00:53:42Yeah!
00:53:43Yeah!
00:53:44Yeah!
00:53:45Yeah!
00:53:46Yeah!
00:53:47Yeah!
00:53:48Yeah!
00:53:49Yeah!
00:53:50Yeah!
00:53:51Yeah!
00:53:52Yeah!
00:53:53Yeah!
00:53:54Yeah!
00:53:55Open night, Melanie?
00:53:56Who the hell cares?
00:53:57You know what?
00:53:58This whole thing has been my fault.
00:53:59I've taken unfair advantage of your patience and your understanding.
00:54:00You understand me.
00:54:01That's always been my problem.
00:54:02And you've been extremely patient.
00:54:03Yeah.
00:54:04You know why, don't you?
00:54:05Because I am patient chain-smoking Lillian.
00:54:06You smoke because I smoke.
00:54:07Hey, we were falling in love, remember?
00:54:08I would go see certain movies because you had seen them.
00:54:09I wanted to see what you saw.
00:54:10I'd forgotten that.
00:54:11Yeah, I went because you went.
00:54:12You smoked because I smoked.
00:54:13It was very lovely, actually.
00:54:14Hey, Laurel wants us to be more open and honest with each other.
00:54:15Be open with me.
00:54:16I'd like that.
00:54:17All right, now, I might say some things that, you know, you might not really want to know.
00:54:26I want to know.
00:54:27We haven't talked like this in years.
00:54:28Okay.
00:54:29I had an affair.
00:54:30You sure you want to hear this?
00:54:31Joanna Born.
00:54:32I'll know what's up.
00:54:33Nikki, no.
00:54:34That's insupportable.
00:54:35How could you do that?
00:54:36Well, I'm a man and she's, you know, a woman.
00:54:37She's my gynecologist.
00:54:38I can't.
00:54:39But how can I do this?
00:54:40No, it's just like a woman.
00:54:41Why can't I do this?
00:54:42I can't.
00:54:43I can't.
00:54:44But I don't know what's up.
00:54:45Come on.
00:54:46Like a couple of times we have a baby.
00:54:47Just let me give him a baby.
00:54:50Bye, I can't go.
00:54:51I can't get you.
00:54:52I can't do this.
00:54:53A man.
00:54:54I can't.
00:54:55I can't say this.
00:54:56She's, you know, a woman.
00:54:58She's my gynecologist.
00:55:00I'm really, deeply sorry. I am.
00:55:03That violates so many trusts.
00:55:05It wasn't, you know, there was no intimacy. It was an animal thing.
00:55:09I never thought of Dr. Wetzel as having sex outside the office.
00:55:12Well, uh, we had it in the office.
00:55:17Huh?
00:55:18She didn't want to have it in her apartment. She thought it was too impersonal, I guess.
00:55:21I'm, I'm glad we've had this talk.
00:55:32Hey.
00:55:34I love you.
00:55:36Rice goes. Sinker is hit down to second.
00:55:39Hey, let me get your cat.
00:55:43Look awful.
00:55:45Get a haircut. Get a lawyer.
00:55:51I'll show you how long ago it was when the Red Sox won a World Series.
00:55:58Look at what it cost to buy things.
00:56:01The last time the Red Sox won the World Series, 1918, Congress enacted legislation...
00:56:10Great game. Red Sox are winning.
00:56:12Red Sox are always winning.
00:56:14Until they lose.
00:56:16Your problem is, you want to take the easy way out.
00:56:19Losing is easy.
00:56:20No. Winning is easy. Losing is complicated.
00:56:23Losing is a lifetime's work.
00:56:25Clemens has a blister. Look, the pitch in him for him.
00:56:28Roger. Goes seven innings and goes out winning 3-2.
00:56:31But right now, here's Mike Greenwell.
00:56:3324 game winner. Pitches seven solid innings.
00:56:36We scratch out a one-run lead.
00:56:38Of course he gets a blister.
00:56:39You're a breaking ball.
00:56:41Sure, of course he put Greenwell up and got Baylor sitting on the bench.
00:56:46Of course Greenwell strikes out. God damn it!
00:56:52You made him strike out. You wished it on him. You want to lose.
00:56:57It's too hard for you to believe in something. It's hard to have faith.
00:57:01It's hard work to trust somebody.
00:57:03Looked extremely rocky for the Boston Nine that day.
00:57:06You're afraid to risk believing.
00:57:09Believe in them. Believe in yourself.
00:57:12Take a risk. It'll humanize you as a person.
00:57:14You think I don't want to believe? I want to believe.
00:57:16If you believed, you wouldn't be walking around with a handgun in your belt.
00:57:19What does that tell me?
00:57:21You want to make the night come down.
00:57:30I always thought a night's sleep is what you get for a hard day's work.
00:57:33These last weeks are lighter, helpless, hour after hour.
00:57:38Come close to praying for the first time since I was your age.
00:57:42Pray to God. Put me out.
00:57:46I talked to the doctor again, Pop.
00:57:48He said she's not getting any better.
00:57:51How bad is she?
00:57:53This could be it.
00:57:55This could be it.
00:58:23I don't want to do it!
00:58:24Excuse me!
00:58:25Don't do it!
00:58:27Give me one for the worst.
00:58:28niceぃ
00:58:30yes
00:58:31Yes
00:58:37Swing on
00:58:39and line to left...
00:58:40right and right...
00:58:41Is Missouri to score
00:58:43And down to third...
00:58:44Goes Dykstra!
00:58:47Central!
00:58:48Central! Central! Central!
00:58:50It's a brand new ball game!
00:58:57With Howard Johnson staying in the game at shortstop,
00:59:00Dave Henderson will lead it off.
00:59:03Now it's 3-3 in the 10th.
00:59:06Henderson has flied to left, flied to center,
00:59:10rounded to short, and single to short on the bad hop that struck Kevin Elson...
00:59:14Say it, and you'll believe it. Life is good. Say it.
00:59:18Look, I really want to say it, because quite frankly,
00:59:22my whole life may depend on these next few moments.
00:59:25Then say it.
00:59:28Life is good.
00:59:29Speak it like it's real, Matthew.
00:59:32Life is good.
00:59:34Life is good.
00:59:35And what are people?
00:59:37I don't know.
00:59:38Matthew?
00:59:39People are dependable.
00:59:41I don't know if I can say that.
00:59:42People are dependable.
00:59:43People are dependable.
00:59:48Life is good.
00:59:49Baseball is life.
00:59:50Enjoy your ice cream, Matthew.
00:59:51Because when you're an old man, it's all gonna come back to you.
00:59:54Going back on it is Mookie Wilson, and this one is gone.
00:59:58Henderson has done it again.
01:00:03And a north on Rick Aguilera.
01:00:07Yeah!
01:00:08People are dependable.
01:00:09Life is good.
01:00:10Baseball is life.
01:00:15Enjoy your ice cream, Matthew,
01:00:17because when you're an old man, it's all gonna come back to you,
01:00:19that same deep, sweet, soft, toothy taste.
01:00:24You're gonna remember where you were,
01:00:26and you're gonna remember exactly what you saw.
01:00:28And it is four to three red sides
01:00:31on the lightning-like home run of Dave Henderson.
01:00:37He knew when he tucks it off,
01:00:39and what a difference in the swing between this one on Aguilera and Ojeda.
01:00:45A strike to Spike Owens, who is three for three.
01:00:50And it's hit into center base.
01:00:52Nice to charging.
01:00:54Here comes Boggs.
01:00:55He will score.
01:00:57Backed up by Aguilera, and Barrett goes to second.
01:01:02And it is five to three Red Sox, and what a big run that one.
01:01:07This is something no one has had the privilege to see in 70 years.
01:01:12There are very few people alive today who can say they've seen what you are about to see, Matthew.
01:01:20Boston Red Sox win the World Series.
01:01:29This is deeply and intensely personal.
01:01:32All the mistakes I've made, all the fear, all the envy, all the violence,
01:01:42encased in this little envelope we call the body,
01:01:46washed away in the next few minutes.
01:01:49Your grandmother knows what I'm talking about.
01:01:53Because God loves a winner.
01:01:56Oh, yeah.
01:01:57Used to love losers.
01:01:59The lies of physics changed.
01:02:01Calvin Chiraldi, trying to finish off the Mets at the 1986 baseball season.
01:02:090-2 to Wally Backman.
01:02:12Little poke job to left, Rice, count over.
01:02:15Backman flies to Rice.
01:02:18That's like a beautiful song there.
01:02:20Backman flies to Rice.
01:02:22There you go.
01:02:23And that's it to dead center with Henderson going to run it down.
01:02:30And the Mets are down to their last out.
01:02:33All the times I died, when they lost an important game they should have won.
01:02:38All the horrible things I said to my mother, father, my wife and my daughter.
01:02:43Washed away.
01:02:44Life is good.
01:02:46Because faith is rewarded.
01:02:47Washed away.
01:02:49Boom around.
01:02:51Boom around.
01:02:53Another one.
01:02:58Line into left field.
01:02:59Base hit for Carter.
01:03:00And the Mets are still alive.
01:03:06Come on.
01:03:08Curve ball.
01:03:09And that's going to be hit to center base hit.
01:03:14Two out in the 10th inning.
01:03:16The tying runs are aboard.
01:03:18It's all right, Frankie.
01:03:19It's just a little touch of suspense.
01:03:21Life is good.
01:03:22Baseball is life.
01:03:23One more.
01:03:25A number.
01:03:27Pop-up.
01:03:28Anything.
01:03:29All year long.
01:03:30Thousands of outs.
01:03:31Come on.
01:03:32Give me one more.
01:03:33Come on.
01:03:34And that's going to be hit to center base hit.
01:03:35And that's going to be hit to center base hit.
01:03:36Here comes Carter to score.
01:03:37And the time run is at third in Kevin Mitchell.
01:03:39And John McNamara.
01:03:40Don't worry.
01:03:41It's a test.
01:03:42He's also going to the bullpen.
01:03:43He wants Bob Stanley.
01:03:44It's a test already.
01:03:45They're bringing in Stanley.
01:03:46It's a test already.
01:03:47They're bringing in Stanley.
01:03:48It's Stanley.
01:03:49It's Stanley.
01:03:50It's the steamer.
01:03:51Fate has spoken to this man in the depths of the night.
01:03:52What did it say?
01:03:53A thousand sinister things.
01:03:54The time run 90 feet away in Kevin Mitchell.
01:03:55And the possible winning run at first in Ray Knight.
01:03:56Oh.

01:05:01This could be it.
01:05:07This could be it.
01:05:11It's all right. It's the time game. We can still wait.
01:05:15This is the time. Trust in people. Believe in life.
01:05:31Faith is hard work. Don't give in. Don't give up.
01:05:34Life is true.
01:05:37Trust your team.
01:06:40I still don't believe it.
01:06:41Yeah, well, we gotta hurry back.
01:06:43Hurry back? Hurry back for what?
01:06:4611th inning. What else?
01:06:47Eddie get a little confused. Nothing personal, old friend.
01:06:50What are you talking about?
01:06:51What are we talking about?
01:06:52Yeah, what are you implying?
01:06:54Game six is history, pal.
01:06:57You're not making any sense.
01:06:59We're not making any sense.
01:07:00Did you see Mookie hit the ball?
01:07:02Yeah, of course I saw Mookie hit the ball.
01:07:03Did you see the winning run score?
01:07:05You're not making any sense.
01:07:06Makes some fucking sense.
01:07:08What are you implying?
01:07:09You're implying that I missed something.
01:07:10What did I miss?
01:07:11You missed the boat, Popeye the Sailor Man.
01:07:14Oh, really?
01:07:15You blue little motherfucker.
01:07:20Hold him while I sit back.
01:07:24Bitch, brother, life!
01:07:26Life is good!
01:07:27I'm not making any sense.
01:07:57First, behind the bag, it gets through Buckner.
01:08:00Here comes the nine and the men's win it.
01:08:57Show him who we are.
01:08:59Show him who we are.
01:09:01Shoot him, Nicky.
01:09:05Shoot him, Nicky.
01:09:07The American theater doesn't need people like that.
01:09:27Why won't you tell me your name?
01:09:39It's only our first name.
01:09:41I'm willing to tell you my name.
01:09:43I know, but names are incredibly intimate.
01:09:45We barely know each other. Trust me.
01:09:51You have to tell me what you thought of the play.
01:09:57Well, uh, first you tell me.
01:10:01Brilliantly moving?
01:10:05What else?
01:10:07Paxman emotional wallop.
01:10:09Mm-hmm.
01:10:11What else?
01:10:13Flat-out hit.
01:10:15You're majoring in theater criticism.
01:10:17Criminology.
01:10:19Uh, oh, if you're, uh, wondering about the...
01:10:29Firearm, sorry.
01:10:31Yeah.
01:10:32Uh, it's just that the building is...
01:10:34Not secure.
01:10:38Goes way back.
01:10:39Pesky whirling to throw a slot or a race in for home.
01:10:42I was barely on board yet.
01:10:44Four or five years old, something like that.
01:10:45But I remember it very clearly.
01:10:47World Series.
01:10:48Game Seven.
01:10:49Pesky whirling to throw.
01:10:50Pesky hesitates.
01:10:53Slaughter.
01:10:54Racing home.
01:10:55Falling home.
01:10:58Why won't you just tell me your name?
01:11:00What's shocking about a name?
01:11:02We are strangers in the night.
01:11:04The last thing we want is honesty.
01:11:08Forty years.
01:11:09Almost to the date.
01:11:11Pesky was just getting ready to throw.
01:11:14October 15th, 1946.
01:11:18Indelibly marked that little reptile part of my brain.
01:11:22Slaughter. Racing home.
01:11:25What?
01:11:27I...
01:11:28Uh-huh.
01:11:29I have this thing where I feel...
01:11:31Like, I need to know that someone is being truthful with me before, you know, I can...
01:11:38Even if the truth requires a certain adjustment?
01:11:56His real name wasn't even pesky.
01:11:57It was Veskovich.
01:11:58Better get that name.
01:12:00Whatever even happened.
01:12:02He'd done something different with his life.
01:12:03Something in Yugoslavia.
01:12:05And all of our lives would be different.
01:12:08Nine months in the womb.
01:12:10Four years on the earth.
01:12:11Pesky whirling to throw.
01:12:12Pesky.
01:12:13Looking into the brooding drama of fate.
01:12:18And he hesitates.
01:12:22He hesitates.
01:12:23Like fucking hammers.
01:12:24I fucking am.
01:12:28I fucken hammers.
01:12:29To me, you're like a big boy!
01:12:31You're like a big boy.
01:12:32Nellie!
01:12:32You're like a big boy!
01:12:33Your 600!
01:12:35You've got your 600!
01:12:36You've got your 600!
01:12:37You've got your 0001 00.
01:12:40I've got my 700!
01:12:41Never known!
01:12:42You're like a 500!
01:12:43Don't call me!
01:12:44Don't call me!
01:12:45I know you are!
01:12:46You're probably!
01:12:47I'm gonna call you, but I'm gonna call you!
01:12:53Don't call me!
01:12:54I also have the 2!
01:12:56I want you to call you!
01:12:57I don't think he knew, Daddy. I'm sorry. I had no idea who he was once I saw his face.
01:13:02Am I really so deeply repugnant?
01:13:04Yes.
01:13:04Go home, Laurel. Tell your mom we're gonna be late.
01:13:07You're so dead. You're so fucking dead.
01:13:10Dad, stop!
01:13:12Dad, I'm so sorry you keep running into dishonest men. You're 18. There's time to turn it around.
01:13:16Yeah, except I'm not gonna have a father anymore.
01:13:18I'll see you all the time. I'm gonna get a place nearby. One room. No distractions. We'll talk.
01:13:23You're so fucking dead!
01:13:26What?
01:13:27What are we gonna talk about?
01:13:28Everything!
01:13:29What?
01:13:31Am I gonna believe you when you say something to me?
01:13:35I got nothing left to lie about.
01:13:40Baby Schwimmer.
01:13:42All right.
01:13:57You're dead.
01:14:18I see your body in a morgue slab, drained of all fluids.
01:14:24You're dead.
01:14:26Daddy, wait.
01:14:27Then they lost.
01:14:29What's the matter?
01:14:30Well, if they lost tonight, they'll lose tomorrow.
01:14:33It's all over.
01:14:35What do you care?
01:14:37They're my team.
01:14:40No.
01:14:41No, that's not your team.
01:14:45That's my team.
01:14:46They're my team, too.
01:14:48I grew up on Boylston Street, right by Fenway Park.
01:14:52I went to 50 or 60 games a year, all by myself.
01:14:55One of those kids with scabby elbows called out to the players, look over here.
01:14:58Hi, I'm Steven.
01:14:59My parents are divorced.
01:15:01I went to school in Boston.
01:15:04Just so I'd be near the Sox.
01:15:06Yeah, my wife's from Boston.
01:15:08Will and Ziegler?
01:15:10No.
01:15:11Red Sox were my world.
01:15:13I surrendered my existence to a team that couldn't win the big one.
01:15:15You're such a devoted fan.
01:15:18When did you go to the game tonight?
01:15:20You could have gone to the theater last night.
01:15:21There was no game last night.
01:15:22I can't bear to watch.
01:15:25Come on.
01:15:25When they lose, I die inside.
01:15:28You know, it's like some person named little Stevie just crumples up and dies.
01:15:32So I wait for the scores.
01:15:33I mean, I die hearing the scores.
01:15:35But, you know, it's over in a second.
01:15:36I can't survive the game pitch by pitch, inning by inning.
01:15:39I haven't done it too many times.
01:15:40I can't fucking do it anymore.
01:15:44Pity and terror.
01:15:46Pesky whirlwind, bro.
01:15:48Yeah, right.
01:15:50You weren't even born yet.
01:15:51You weren't even remotely born.
01:15:53Slaughter, racing home.
01:16:02When I traveled through Asia, this summer I went to tremendous trouble and expense
01:16:06to rent a car with a phone so I could call up sports phone in New York.
01:16:08You know, get the scores.
01:16:10I drove through a war in, what, Afghanistan, right?
01:16:13Soviets against somebody.
01:16:14I never got it straight because I'm calling up sports phone like every hour on the hour
01:16:16for updates.
01:16:21What about my play?
01:16:22Yeah, no more evasive tactics.
01:16:24Yeah.
01:16:26It's your best play, Nicky.
01:16:29I've seen it twice.
01:16:30I went back again tonight to be sure.
01:16:32It's a brave and honest piece of work.
01:16:37Artistry, sensitivity.
01:16:38You've never shown before.
01:16:44You're not just saying it because I, you know, got the gun in my hand?
01:16:49Well, no.
01:16:49You're out of bullets.
01:16:51See, Daddy.
01:16:53And Peter Redman helped immensely.
01:16:55Boy, those pauses, they were exquisitely timed.
01:16:57Well, we worked really hard on those pauses.
01:17:12Ah, ah, there it is.
01:17:14Ah, I called sports phone from Lhasa, Tibet, right?
01:17:21Friesen and my little rented Fiat and this, you know, whatever cheap on the hillside.
01:17:25This rocky debris dating back millions and millions of years from the time the Himalayas
01:17:29thrust up and the plates of India and Asia collided.
01:17:31Red Sox, three, White Sox, two.
01:17:34Buckner drives in the winning round.
01:17:37We love Buckner.
01:17:39Don't we, Ann?
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:43Moment in the history of the world.
01:17:44Not a guy who's playing over and over with me.
01:17:50Jesus.
01:17:50Jesus.
01:18:14Master, Daddy!
01:18:32Another night of traffic.
01:18:35Taxis slipping through the neon.
01:18:38Taxis racing in the gloom.
01:18:40People come out all night parties.
01:18:43Can't find their cars.
01:18:45Uptown.
01:18:47Downtown.
01:18:48Headlights.
01:18:50Tail lights.
01:18:52Cars weaving down the avenues.
01:18:55Sleeping people at the wheel.
01:18:57Sirens in the chilly distance.
01:19:00Rear, rear, rear, rear.
01:19:04The planet turns.
01:19:07Traffic rolls.
01:19:10This is Lone Eagle.
01:19:12Over and out.
01:19:14The planet turns.
01:19:16The sea cracks.
01:19:29As it cannot be seen.
01:19:31This is Lone Eagle.
01:19:33attention.
01:19:33This is Lone Eagle.
01:19:35A truck in the sea.
01:19:36A Texas海 in a highway.
01:19:37Theひとつ man pawire.
01:19:38O票 pie.
01:19:39See you.
01:19:39Now I will.
01:19:40Take me out to the ball game
01:20:01Take me out to the crowd
01:20:06Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks
01:20:09I don't care if I never get back
01:20:14Let me root, root, root for the home team
01:20:17If they don't win, it's a shame
01:20:21For it's one, two, three strikes
01:20:26Around at the old ball game
01:20:30Sha-da-da-da
01:22:03Go on now, go on.
01:23:08For it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game.
01:23:18Take me out, baby.
01:23:34Baby.
