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?
00:03:24Limos

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
00:04:13Taxis
00:04:15Go!
00:04:17Taxis
00:04:18Go!
00:04:43I used to drive a taxi.
00:04:55I ate and I drove.
00:04:57I wrapped my sandwiches in tinfoil.
00:04:58You are going where?
00:05:01Across town.
00:05:02Pretty bad today.
00:05:03I had one of those big checkered caps.
00:05:05I was religious about my ashtrays.
00:05:07I just bring my ashtrays religiously.
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! Honey! Hey!
00:05:30Wait, wait, hey.
00:05:31Keep the meter running, okay?
00:05:32And try to stay abreast.
00:05:35Keep up.
00:05:38Hey! Hi!
00:05:41I come home.
00:05:42I don't see you anymore.
00:05:42Where are you all day?
00:05:43I'm at college.
00:05:45Thought you knew.
00:05:46Want to get a coffee?
00:05:47I don't drink coffee, Daddy.
00:05:48This is not what we should be talking about.
00:05:50What do you want to talk about?
00:05:51I'll talk about anything you want to talk about.
00:05:52What's this?
00:05:53Senior play tonight, remember?
00:05:56Wait, you need a radio.
00:05:56So I can listen to the ballgame at intermission.
00:05:59Do you know that Mother is seeing a prominent divorce lawyer?
00:06:01Don't talk like that.
00:06:03Man.
00:06:04How prominent?
00:06:08What are you implying?
00:06:09She's doing like those Iranians.
00:06:11I divorce thee.
00:06:12I divorce thee.
00:06:13I divorce thee.
00:06:14Okay, okay.
00:06:14Look, look, look.
00:06:16He has to hear it at the same time I do.
00:06:18What happened to family secrets?
00:06:19Mother is, you know, totally upset.
00:06:22So can we talk about it in private?
00:06:24Oh, it's divorce, not incest.
00:06:30Oppelhausen, we're going to be getting out of here.
00:06:33Clements was hit hard here in game number two.
00:06:36After a bout with a blue end,
00:06:38pitching on only three days rest for the third straight time.
00:06:41Nicky.
00:06:41Hey, George.
00:06:43You don't come here for a while.
00:06:44Everything's okay.
00:06:45Everything's great.
00:06:46Look at you.
00:06:46You're so healthy, thick body.
00:06:48I just want to punch you right in the chest.
00:06:50This is my daughter, Laurel.
00:06:51A pleasure.
00:06:52I just want to hear how it sounds.
00:06:53I 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
00:07:17on only three days rest.
00:07:20If lawyers for the mob are called controversial,
00:07:22why 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.
00:07:31She 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?
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, I...
00:07:50You know, Mother won't even tell me
00:07:50how long you've been seeing this person.
00:07:52Okay, she's embarrassed to tell me,
00:07:54so why don't you tell me?
00:07:55Why do you always call her Mother?
00:07:57It sounds so tragic and unforgiving.
00:07:59What ever happened to Mom?
00:08:00I'm a mom.
00:08:00I didn't turn her into Mother.
00:08:01You did.
00:08:04This person and I are a thing of the total past.
00:08:06I promise.
00:08:08You know what Mother said to me?
00:08:10The daddy's demons are so intense.
00:08:15He doesn't even know when he's lying.
00:08:18Well...
00:08:19Jesus Christ.
00:08:31I used to drive a cab.
00:08:33Where are you going, mister?
00:08:35I love driving a cab.
00:08:37Love...
00:08:37Love my taxi.
00:08:38I go 12 hours, non-stop, except to pee.
00:08:42Take pee breaks.
00:08:43Pee under the Manhattan Bridge.
00:08:44Pee in parks, empty playgrounds, parking lots.
00:08:47Pee many times under the Manhattan Bridge.
00:08:50I used to be head of neurosurgery.
00:08:52Big hospital in UDSSR.
00:08:56This hospital, I'm not kidding.
00:08:58Big, huh?
00:09:00I opened thousands of brains.
00:09:02What'd you find?
00:09:06Big mess.
00:09:07Every time.
00:09:08All right.
00:09:30Hey.
00:09:32How are you?
00:09:33Oh.
00:09:35Oh.
00:09:36I'm sorry.
00:09:41Oh.
00:09:42Oh.
00:09:47Oh.
00:09:52Oh.
00:09:53Oh.
00:09:53Oh.
00:09:53Oh.
00:09:53Oh.
00:09:54Oh.
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Was I expecting you?
00:10:19Spur-of-the-moment kind of thing.
00:10:20Alan Albright called me a handsome woman last night.
00:10:26It's the second time he's done that, this son of a bitch.
00:10:29Hey, I heard Alan's sick.
00:10:31Alan's very sick.
00:10:33You know about Adele.
00:10:34What about her?
00:10:36She's dying.
00:10:38She died.
00:10:40I just talked to her, like, two days ago.
00:10:42Well, apparently it didn't help.
00:10:45You know about Peter, of course.
00:10:47Our Peter?
00:10:48Yeah.
00:10:49They figured out why he can't remember his lines.
00:10:52There's something living in his brain.
00:10:55Parasite he picked up in Borneo doing the movie.
00:10:58Can't get through it?
00:10:59They're watching him closely.
00:11:01There's an emergency rehearsal this afternoon.
00:11:03They want you to be there to bolster his confidence.
00:11:07And that's not all, Nicky.
00:11:08I've been backing your plays for 15 years,
00:11:10and I have never been more depressed.
00:11:12About what?
00:11:14Steven Schwimmer.
00:11:17The 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.
00:11:27I just want to get a haircut.
00:11:28Yeah, well, ever since he started reviewing Broadway, nobody's worried about anything else.
00:11:32Yeah, let them send their brilliant board, Craig.
00:11:35They've got bigger things to worry about than tonight's opening.
00:11:38What?
00:11:39Red Sox.
00:11:40I thought they were winning.
00:11:41They are.
00:11:42Three games to two.
00:11:43But if you know anything about the team's history, you'll know there's a tragedy in the making.
00:11:49I've been carrying this franchise on my back since I'm six years old.
00:11:54I can't be that personal.
00:11:56You 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.
00:12:04You want me to tell you what that's like?
00:12:06That's like having your whole childhood die over and over and over again.
00:12:17I mean, Mickey, really.
00:12:19No.
00:12:20Yeah.
00:12:21I've been waiting a long time for you to write this play.
00:12:25I'm really proud of it.
00:12:27Of course, you were a lot sexier when you were writing crap.
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:32You didn't really like me very much then, did you?
00:12:34No, I didn't.
00:12:35You don't really like me very much now, do you?
00:12:36No, I don't.
00:12:37I'll see you tonight.
00:12:39Red Sox blow a chance to win their first World Series since 1918.
00:12:43You expect me to miss that for an opening night?
00:12:45I don't think so.
00:12:46Yeah, I'll be there.
00:12:48It makes me so mad.
00:12:50Steven Schwimmer, the exterminating angel ready to strike.
00:12:55It's all worked out.
00:12:56They lose tonight.
00:12:57They lose tomorrow night.
00:12:59I see you with stunning clarity.
00:13:01It's your best play, Nicky.
00:13:02It's the most truthful work you've ever done.
00:13:05And I lose because of my team.
00:13:07He will absolutely hate it.
00:14:21I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:34I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:44I'm going to jump out here.

00:14:49I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:50I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:51I'm going to jump out here.
00:14:52Go ahead.
00:14:53Elliot?
00:14:54Nicky, I was thinking about you.

00:29:06oh nicky this is all your history isn't it all around us yeah
00:29:13my parasite is eating it yeah i kissed her while she was laughing oh dear god my heart was flying
00:29:28out of my chest with love i heard he got the parasite in burma i heard borneo might be playing
00:29:35the third world for our parasites maybe he got in denver or minneapolis maybe he got it in borneo
00:29:44i feel shaky about one line in particular i think if i could get this line i could handle the last long
00:29:50speech which line peter huh which line the son says to the father this could be it and the father replies
00:30:00yeah that's the line that i can't i can't for the life of me remember it just i can't get it it's the
00:30:06same line the father simply repeats what the son says to him this could be it this could be it
00:30:15i know it sounds easy but something happens between the time that i hear the line and the time that i'm
00:30:26supposed to repeat it this could be it this could be it let's work on it
00:30:45i think what would be really good here is if we just started from the top peter do you think he can

00:31:29think crazy things you want to talk about crazy things yes never mind
00:31:35wait wait paisley come on stephen not only wears disguises he goes to the theater armed

00:32:35So, let's go.
00:33:05Steven? Steven, open up.
00:33:09Steven, open up.
00:33:11It's me.
00:33:17You've come to me.
00:33:19I wanted to believe you would one day.
00:33:21I haven't come to you.
00:33:27I didn't understand until today how much pain and anxiety
00:33:29you've been causing everyone with your reviews.
00:33:31Steven, it's completely unfair.
00:33:33It's unfair.
00:33:35Yes.
00:33:36The truth is always unfair.
00:33:37Well, it doesn't have to be.
00:33:38Why do you think I'd live this way?
00:33:40Why do you think I'm taking electricity
00:33:42from a lamppost and hiding out?
00:33:43Why?
00:33:44Because you choose to.
00:33:45No, because people who write the truth
00:33:46are the outcasts of society.
00:33:48I can't live openly.
00:33:50I can't live in a nice dorm man building
00:33:52with my name on the mailbox
00:33:54because they'd come after me in packs.
00:33:55Not if you wrote the truth gently.
00:33:57But the truth is never gentle.
00:34:02Listen to me carefully.
00:34:04Each of us lives in the thinnest possible wrapping
00:34:08of wishes and dreams.
00:34:11And truth is the force that penetrates this wispy skin.
00:34:15It hurts and it maims.
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:18That's my job.
00:34:19And look, they hate me.
00:34:20They hate me.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:22For writing the truth.
00:34:23Well, I've seen your victims, okay?
00:34:25And that's why I thought I might be able to come here
00:34:26and convince you to reconsider.
00:34:30And I thought, at last.
00:34:34She's here.
00:34:36She wants me.
00:34:37I don't want you, Steven.
00:34:39Stay, stay, please.
00:34:40Teach me how to be compassionate.
00:34:42I'm going home to my machine.
00:34:53Hey.
00:34:54Hey.
00:34:55Hi.
00:34:56Oh, hi.
00:34:57Oh, I'm part of this.
00:34:58Ah!
00:34:59Ah!
00:35:00Ah!
00:35:01Oh.
00:35:02Ah!
00:35:03Ah!
00:35:04Ah!
00:35:05Oh!
00:35:06Ah!
00:35:08Uh!
00:35:09Ah!
00:35:10Oh!
00:35:21Bye!
00:35:22Laurel!
00:35:39Laurel!
00:35:40Excuse me.
00:35:41Hey.
00:35:42All detectives are set.
00:35:43I double-checked.
00:35:44Oh, thanks, honey.
00:35:45But I only need one.
00:35:46Others not gone.
00:35:47It's opening night.
00:35:48I know.
00:35:49Why should a bitter divorce interfere with tradition?
00:35:51Uh, Rogan Laurel.
00:35:52There'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, so let's talk later.
00:36:07You gonna go to the party?
00:36:08I'm not sure.
00:36:09Okay, so I'm gonna find you somewhere after the show, okay?
00:36:14Somewhere.
00:36:15Okay.
00:36:19Taxi!
00:36:21A man is hit the other day by another taxi.
00:36:37I mean, he's flying.
00:36:38Crashes right against my windscreen.
00:36:40Right in front of my eyes.
00:36:42Blood is everywhere.
00:36:44I never left the garage without my Windex.
00:36:47I was a barrister in Kenya.
00:36:49So I said to him, you have to get off from here.
00:36:52I cannot drive with your body on my windscreen.
00:36:55I 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.
00:37:04Well, that's the drama, isn't it?
00:37:06I mean, we're waiting for life to continue.
00:37:09Hey, Abram.
00:37:10Where'd you pee?
00:37:11Under the Manhattan Bridge.
00:37:13That's where I pee.
00:37:15That's where I pee.
00:37:16It's raccoon day.
00:37:17I don't want a dog here.
00:37:18I don't want a day and give him all the way.
00:37:20I don't want a day, but give him all the way and...
00:37:23I don't know.
00:37:53Who is 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. I'm at the door.
00:38:17What do you want?
00:38:18It's me, Nicky.
00:38:20Nicky comes on Sundays.
00:38:21Oh, gee, where are you? Go 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 Ninth Avenue.
00:38:34Same place you go to get your haircuts for the last 50 years.
00:38:37Same place Uncle Billy and Uncle Marty go to get their haircuts.
00:38:41Same place Jim already shot a guy for cheating at poker.
00:38:44It was rummy, not poker.
00:38:46And I'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?
00:39:03Five people in these little rooms.
00:39:06Fix yourself something to eat.
00:39:09We must have been heroic.
00:39:10Five's not so many.
00:39:13There were families with seven kids.
00:39:15A 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.
00:39:26Hey, Pop, let's go watch the game tonight.
00:39:28Put it on the Mannions.
00:39:30They're only gonna lose.
00:39:31Of course they're gonna lose.
00:39:33We'll watch them lose together.
00:39:35What good is heartbreak if you can't experience it firsthand?
00:39:37The Red Sox are your problem.
00:39:39I've never understood your thing with the Red Sox.
00:39:42Everybody rooted for the Yankees.
00:39:471949, last two games of the season.
00:39:49They're against the Yankees.
00:39:51First the Red Sox lose Saturday, then they lose Sunday.
00:39:55I cry for 24 hours,
00:39:58then they get in fistfights the rest of the week.
00:40:00Well, it's one thing, good kids.
00:40:02You get older, you got other things.
00:40:04I could have been happy.
00:40:05Could have been a Yankees fan.
00:40:07Yeah.
00:40:10Could have been a divorce lawyer.
00:40:14Here, take these.
00:40:16You're gonna need those for a play.
00:40:18No, don't make me sit through one of your plays.
00:40:21You know what, Pop?
00:40:22I know you hate the commotion of opening night.
00:40:27This means a lot to me.
00:40:31Okay?
00:40:32It's no territory for me.
00:40:36I really want to know what you think.
00:40:38Since when did that matter?
00:40:40All right, we have to talk about that.
00:40:42My back is killing me.
00:40:43Where's your elastic brace?
00:40:45I can't find it.
00:40:46You gotta wear the brace.
00:40:48I lost it.
00:40:48I lose everything.
00:40:50All right, you know what?
00:40:52Let me go get you another one.
00:40:54You have to wear the brace, all right?
00:40:59Hey, take a good look at this face.
00:41:06So I know who I'm letting in.
00:41:07Exactly.
00:41:19Two hours to game time.
00:41:22Never mind the traffic.
00:41:23We're not interested in that.
00:41:24We're interested in history.
00:41:27Lost games.
00:41:28Lost dreams.
00:41:30Possible side effects of this medication.
00:41:33If your erections seem to speak to you in broken English.
00:41:37If you develop bodily marks that correspond to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus.
00:41:43Maybe you don't take a medication, but you get the side effects anyway.
00:41:53This is Lone Eagle.
00:41:54In your face and out of your life.
00:41:56Why doesn't he come live with us?
00:42:06Because everything is here.
00:42:09I know, Pop.
00:42:10I'm lucky they don't knock the building down.
00:42:13It could happen anytime.
00:42:15And everything worth remembering is right here.
00:42:18I think the building's okay.
00:42:19At least for the time being.
00:42:22You didn't think it was okay when you lived here.
00:42:24You wanted to get out so fast, I thought you were running the marathon.
00:42:28Normal boy's ambitions.
00:42:30I like coming back, you know that.
00:42:33You tell your friends your father used to work the docks.
00:42:36Calloused hands.
00:42:37But you had an attitude when you were growing up.
00:42:40Wasn't easy for your mother and me to understand.
00:42:43I was in a hurry.
00:42:44Do big things.
00:42:45Make big mistakes.
00:42:46Any mistake was okay as long as it was big.
00:42:51Hey, Pop.
00:42:52I got getting ready to kill my play starting tonight.
00:42:57There's a guy out there who's going to rip it apart.
00:43:00And it's about us, who we are.
00:43:02Where we come from.
00:43:05So, what are you going to do about it?
00:43:11What should I do about it?
00:43:14Show them who we are.
00:43:15How are you going to do that?
00:43:38He carries a gun.
00:44:05And you should carry a gun.
00:44:08Yeah, I used to carry a gun when I drove a cab.
00:44:10Where is it?
00:44:11I gave it away. I figured I'm a writer now.
00:44:14That was a big mistake.
00:44:15You should always carry a gun. In this city?
00:44:17If he carries a gun, you have to carry a gun.
00:44:20I'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.
00:44:34He'll hate it. He'll kill it.
00:44:37He'll write a review so devastating it will shatter your career.
00:44:41It will cause the most unmanageable psychic grief.
00:44:45What about your apartment in the East River?
00:44:48Your home in Connecticut?
00:44:50Where you watch things grow.
00:44:52Yeah, we were thinking of putting in a pool, too.
00:44:55You know?
00:45:05Elliot Litvak 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,
00:45:19and 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, Nicky.
00:45:49Hey, I know you know we're just talking.
00:45:53But, uh, where does he live?
00:45:5547th and the river.
00:45:57I followed a friend Paisley there.
00:45:59How do you like your sideburns?
00:46:03Elegant and refined.
00:46:29Everyone tastes great.
00:46:31I went to Paul Monica.
00:46:32I like and remember all the Blues.
00:46:34I'm gonna take to Joe cuffody.
00:46:36Well, you're just talking Sam, the lady's guy is fine.
00:46:37The Melodicome is uh...
00:46:38Not going form a begin.
00:46:39Ah, I's done.
00:46:40Boringly, peace, man...
00:46:41Alright.
00:46:42The Melodicome is a question.
00:46:43Tier two basics.
00:46:44So, beaten me and time,
00:46:45который is on government.
00:46:47And the canvas...
00:46:48...they went down to order to the United States.
00:46:4957th and 7th BC...
00:46:50...noetaaninhaus
00:46:52...the Jeans entirely...
00:46:552.7th Newages...
00:46:57I'm going to take a consider...
00:47:28I'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.
00:48:54So where are we going tonight, Mr. Lazaro?
00:48:56Good luck to you, Dave.
00:48:58We'll see what happens.
00:49:00Right after these questions.
00:49:01We'll all take it over.
00:49:14So is this where you want to be, Frankie?
00:49:18This where I want to be.
00:49:22It's dinner time for you.
00:49:23It's game time for me.
00:49:24Let's get out of here.
00:49:25We'll go to Manion's.
00:49:26For St. Matthew, Trix will be here to talk baseball.
00:49:28Cool.
00:49:29All right.
00:49:30Let's go.
00:49:38Let's get out.
00:49:39One of the three reasons for an unexpected guest at Shane Stadium.
00:49:48What happens if somebody comes in here right now and shoots you?
00:49:54This place becomes famous.
00:49:55Tour buses, tour buses, blind people feeling their way around the walls.
00:49:58We'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, Angela.
00:50:12I wish I had the food.
00:50:13It doesn't look like you're going to go.
00:50:15Yeah, this could be it.
00:50:17This could be it.
00:50:19This could be it.
00:50:22This could be it.
00:50:23This could be it.
00:50:26This could be it.
00:50:28Does 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 Bourne.
00:54:32Alma Watson.
00:54:33Niki, 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.
00:54:38She's my gynecologist.
00:54:39She's my gynecologist.
00:54:40Let me show you the best.
00:54:41You really for a while?
00:54:42Hey, did you know what you're going to do?
00:54:43I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it.
00:54:44No.
00:54:45I didn't want to do it that.
00:54:46It's super good.
00:54:47I didn't want to do it.
00:54:48You don't want to do it.
00:54:49It's so bad.
00:54:50It's a pain-setter.
00:54:51Yeah, I can't do it.
00:54:52I don't have any of no pain.
00:55:00I'm really, deeply sorry. I am.
00:55:03That violates so many trusts.
00:55:05It wasn't, you know, it wasn't, there was no intimacy.
00:55:08It was an animal thing.
00:55:09I never thought of Dr. Witzel as having sex outside the office.
00:55:12Well, uh, we had it in the office.
00:55:17Huh?
00:55:17She, I, she didn't want to have it in her apartment.
00:55:19She thought it was too impersonal, I guess.
00:55:25I'm, I'm glad we've had this talk.
00:55:30Hey.
00:55:34I love you.
00:55:36Rice goes.
00:55:37Sinker is hit down to second.
00:55:39Hey, let me get your cat.
00:55:44Look awful.
00:55:45Get a haircut.
00:55:47Get a lawyer.
00:55:53Show you how long ago it was
00:55:55when the Red Sox won a World Series.
00:55:58Look at what it cost.
00:56:00Dubai thing.
00:56:02The last time
00:56:03the Red Sox won a World Series
00:56:051918.
00:56:07Congress enacted legislation
00:56:09for the clocks to be moved.
00:56:11Great game.
00:56:12Red Sox are winning.
00:56:13Red Sox are always winning.
00:56:15Until they lose.
00:56:16Your problem is
00:56:17you want to take the easy way out.
00:56:20Losing is easy.
00:56:21No.
00:56:21Winning is easy.
00:56:22Losing is complicated.
00:56:24Losing is a lifetime's work.
00:56:25Clemens has a blister.
00:56:27Look, the pit's hitting for him.
00:56:28Roger.
00:56:28Here goes seven innings
00:56:30and goes out winning 3-2.
00:56:32But right now,
00:56:32here's Mike Greenwell.
00:56:3324 game winner.
00:56:34Pitches seven solid innings.
00:56:36He scratch out a one-run lead.
00:56:38Of course he gets a blister.
00:56:41Yeah, breaking ball.
00:56:43Sure, of course he put Greenwell up
00:56:45and he got Baylor
00:56:45sitting on the bench.
00:56:49Of course Greenwell strikes out.
00:56:51God damn it.
00:56:53You made him strike out.
00:56:55You wished it on him.
00:56:56You want to lose.
00:56:58It's too hard for you
00:56:59to believe in something.
00:57:00It's hard to have faith.
00:57:02It's hard work
00:57:02to trust somebody.
00:57:04Looked extremely rocky
00:57:05for the Boston Nine that day.
00:57:07You're afraid to risk believing.
00:57:09Believe in them.
00:57:11Believe in yourself.
00:57:12Take a risk.
00:57:13It'll humanize you as a person.
00:57:14You think I don't want to believe?
00:57:15I want to believe.
00:57:16If you believed,
00:57:17you wouldn't be walking around
00:57:18with a handgun in your belt.
00:57:20What does that tell me?
00:57:22You want to make the night come down.
00:57:25Three-two Red Sox.
00:57:27Top of the eighth.
00:57:28Two hours.
00:57:28I always thought a nice sleep
00:57:32was what you get
00:57:32for a hard day's work.
00:57:34These last weeks,
00:57:35I lied to helpless.
00:57:37Hour after hour.
00:57:39Come close to praying
00:57:40for the first time
00:57:41since I was your age.
00:57:42Pray to God.
00:57:45Put me out.
00:57:47I talked to the doctor again, Pop.
00:57:49He said she's not getting any better.
00:57:52How bad is she?
00:57:54This could be it.
00:58:12Swat on and lined to left,
00:58:38right and right.
00:58:40Canning up is Mazzotti to score.
00:58:43And down to third goes Dykstra.
00:58:49It's a brand new ball game.
00:58:55With Howard Johnson
00:58:57staying in the game
00:58:58and shorts now,
00:58:59Dave Henderson will lead it off.
00:59:01Now it's 3-3 in the 10th.
00:59:05Anderson is flying to left,
00:59:08flying to center,
00:59:09rounded to short,
00:59:10and single to short
00:59:11on the bad hop that struck Kevin Elson...
00:59:14Say it and you'll believe it.
00:59:15Life is good.
00:59:17Say it.
00:59:18Look,
00:59:19I really want to say it
00:59:21because quite frankly,
00:59:22my whole life may depend
00:59:23on these next few moments.
00:59:25Then say it.
00:59:25Life 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.
00:59:38Yeah, do you?
00:59:39People are dependable.
00:59:40I don't know if I can say that.
00:59:42People are dependable.
00:59:43People are dependable.
00:59:49Let's see what Henderson does.
00:59:50And a drive to left,
00:59:54going back on it is Mookie Wilson,
00:59:56and this one is...
00:59:57Yes!
00:59:58Henderson has done it again.
01:00:03And a north on Rick McGill era.
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,
01:00:18it's all going to come back to you.
01:00:19That same deep, sweet,
01:00:21soft, toothy taste.
01:00:24You're going to remember where you were,
01:00:25and you're going to remember
01:00:26exactly what you saw.
01:00:28It is four to three red sides
01:00:30on the lightning-like home run
01:00:33of Dave Henderson.
01:00:37He knew when he tucks it off,
01:00:38and what a difference in the swing
01:00:40between this one on half,
01:00:41Aguilera and Ojeda.
01:00:45A strike to Spike Owen,
01:00:47who is three for three.
01:00:48And it's hit into center base end.
01:00:52Nice to charging.
01:00:54Here comes Boggs.
01:00:55He will score.
01:00:57Backed up by Aguilera,
01:00:59and Barrett goes to second.
01:01:02And it is five to three Red Sox,
01:01:04and what a big run that one.
01:01:07This is something
01:01:08no one has had the privilege to see
01:01:10in 70 years.
01:01:12There are very few people alive today
01:01:15who can say they've seen
01:01:18what you are about to see, Matthew.
01:01:23Boston Red Sox win the World Series.
01:01:25This is deeply and intensely personal.
01:01:34All the mistakes I've made,
01:01:36all the fear,
01:01:37all the envy,
01:01:39all the violence,
01:01:40encased in this little envelope
01:01:43we call the body,
01:01:46washed away
01:01:46in the next few minutes.
01:01:50Your grandmother knows
01:01:51what I'm talking about.
01:01:53Because God loves a winner.
01:01:55Oh, yeah.
01:01:57You used to love losers.
01:01:59The lies of physics changed.
01:02:03Calvin Schiraldi
01:02:05trying to finish off the Mets
01:02:07at the 1986 baseball season.
01:02:100-2 to Wally Backman.
01:02:12Little poke job to left Rice
01:02:14coming over.
01:02:16Backman flies to Rice.
01:02:18That's like a beautiful song there.
01:02:20Backman flies to Rice.
01:02:22There you go.
01:02:24And that's it to dead center
01:02:26with Henderson
01:02:27going to run it down.
01:02:30And the Mets are down
01:02:31to their last out.
01:02:33All the times I died,
01:02:35when they lost an important game
01:02:37they should have won.
01:02:38All the horrible things
01:02:39I said to my mother,
01:02:40father, my wife,
01:02:41and my daughter.
01:02:42Washed away.
01:02:43Life is good.
01:02:45Because faith is rewarded.
01:02:46Washed away.
01:02:48One more.
01:02:50One more.
01:02:51One more.
01:02:55One more.
01:02:57Another.
01:02:58Line into left field.
01:02:59Base hit for Carter
01:03:00and the Mets are still alive.
01:03:05Come on.
01:03:06Come on.
01:03:06Come on.
01:03:08Curveball.
01:03:08And that's gonna be hit
01:03:09to center base.
01:03:10two out in the 10th inning.
01:03:15The time runs are a bore.
01:03:17It's all right,
01:03:18Franklin.
01:03:19It's just a little touch
01:03:20of suspense.
01:03:21Life is good.
01:03:23Basewater's life.
01:03:24One more.
01:03:25Another.
01:03:27Pop-up.
01:03:28Anything.
01:03:29All your long
01:03:29thousands of outs.
01:03:31Come on.
01:03:32Give me one more.
01:03:33Come on.
01:03:34And that's gonna be here
01:03:37in the 7th inning.
01:03:38Pace hard.
01:03:38Watch.
01:03:42Here comes Carter
01:03:44to score.
01:03:45And the time run
01:03:46has occurred
01:03:47in Kevin Mitchell.
01:03:51And John McNamara...
01:03:52Don't worry.
01:03:53It's a test.
01:03:53He's also going to the bullpen.
01:03:56He wants Bob Stanley...
01:03:56It's a test already.
01:03:58...to Mookie Wilson.
01:03:59They're bringing in Stanley.
01:04:02It's Stanley.
01:04:05It's the steamer.
01:04:08Fate has spoken to this man
01:04:10in the depths of the night.
01:04:11What did it say?
01:04:12A thousand sinister things.
01:04:15The time run 90 feet away
01:04:17in Kevin Mitchell
01:04:18and the possible winning run
01:04:20at first in Ray Knight.
01:04:25You heard it in my head.
01:04:28Sorry.
01:04:29It's coming in.
01:04:31It's coming in.
01:04:32And here's Mookie.
01:04:35Oh.
01:04:35Oh.
01:04:35Oh.
01:04:43Two and two.
01:04:45And now with the Mets
01:04:46down to their last strike,
01:04:47this could be it.
01:04:52This could be it.
01:04:53Kevin Mitchell at third.
01:04:55Two and two.
01:04:56It's coming in.
01:04:59This could be it.
01:05:01Fifty-five thousand and seventy-eight
01:05:02here at Shea
01:05:03and they have really been put
01:05:04through the ringer.
01:05:05This could be it.
01:05:09It's all right.
01:05:19It's the tie game.
01:05:20We could still win the next Senate.
01:05:21This could be it.
01:05:22Go, keep, go, keep, go, keep, go!
01:05:24This is the tie.
01:05:26Trust in people.
01:05:27Believe in life.
01:05:28Faith is hard work.
01:05:29Don't give in.
01:05:30Don't give up.
01:05:31Life is true.
01:05:33Life is real.
01:05:34Trust your team.
01:05:38Little roller
01:05:39up along first.
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 got 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.
01:06:58You'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!
01:07:27What did I do?
01:07:46The winning run is at second base.
01:07:49With two out, three and two, Mookie Wilson.
01:07:52little roller up along first

01:13:01Am I really so deeply repugnant?
01:13:03Yes.
01:13:04Go home, Laro. Tell your mom we're gonna be late.
01:13:07You're so dang. You're so fucking dang.
01:13:10Stop!
01:13:11I'm so sorry you keep running into dishonest men.
01:13:14You'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.
01:13:20One room. No distractions. We'll talk.
01:13:22You're so fucking damned!
01:13:25Yeah, well, what? What are we gonna talk about?
01:13:28Everything!
01:13:29What?
01:13:30Am I gonna believe you when you say something to me?
01:13:33I got nothing left to lie about.
01:13:36We're gonna ask Paul Twijb philosophy.
01:13:38I got nothing left to lie about these.
01:13:39You don't know.
01:13:40Let me see you!
01:13:41I'll be back and go!
01:14:12You'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. It's all over.
01:14:35What do you care?
01:14:37Fuck, they're my team.
01:14:40No.
01:14:40No, no, 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,
01:14:57look over here, hi, 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.
01:15:07Will 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.
01:15:16You'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, when they lose, I die inside.
01:15:26You 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've done it too many times.
01:15:40I can't fucking do it anymore.
01:15:44Pity and terror.
01:15:46Pesky whirling, 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 through 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.
01:16:15I'm like every hour on the hour for updates.
01:16:21What about my play?
01:16:22Yeah, no more evasive tactics.
01:16:24Yeah.
01:16:26It's your best play, Nikki.
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 you'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, you're out of bullets.
01:16:50See you, Daddy.
01:16:53And Peter Redman helped immensely.
01:16:55Boy, those pauses, they were exquisitely timed.
01:17:00Well, we worked really hard on those pauses.
01:17:04Well, I called sports phone from Lhasa, Tibet, right?
01:17:21Freezing.
01:17:22And my little rented Fiat and this, you know, whatever cheap on the hillside, this rocky debris dating back millions and millions of years from the time the Himalayas thrust up and the plates of India and Asia collided.
01:17:31Red Sox three, White Sox two, Buckner 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.
01:17:44Mindy.
01:17:49Not accounted for you, he's played over and over.
01:17:50Jesus.
01:18:06Jesus.
01:18:11Whatischer?
01:18:11Master, Daddy!
01:18:32Another night of traffic.
01:18:35Taxis slipping through the neon.
01:18:38Taxis racing in the gloom.
01:18:39People come out all night, parties, can't find their cars.
01:18:45Uptown, downtown, headlights, taillights, cars weaving down the avenues, sleeping people at the wheel.
01:18:57Sirens in the chilly distance.
01:19:02The planet turns.
01:19:07The traffic rolls.
01:19:09This is Lone Eagle.
01:19:12Over and out.
01:19:39Take me out to the ball game.
01:19:44Take me out to the crowd.
01:19:46Take me out to the crowd.
01:19:51Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
01:19:56Take me out to the ball game.
01:20:01Take me out to the ball game.
01:20:03Take me out to the crowd.
01:20:06Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
01:20:10I don't care if I never get back.
01:20:14Let me root, root, root for the whole team.
01:20:17If they don't win.
01:20:19If they don't win, it's a shame.
01:20:22For it's one, two, three strikes around at the whole ball game.
01:20:30Then you lose, if they don't win, it's a shame.
01:20:31I'm so sorry.
01:20:33I don't want to do it.
01:20:34I don't want to drink this.
01:20:35It's a shame.
01:20:35I love to know what to do.
01:20:36I'll see if I never get back.
01:20:37I'll see if I never get back.
01:20:37I don't want to run out.
01:23:08For it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game.
01:23:17Take me out, baby.
