182
00:08:07,050 --> 00:08:08,485
is beef up his sex life.

183
00:08:08,518 --> 00:08:11,850
You know, see a little bit of
the ladies. Take the edge off.

184
00:08:11,884 --> 00:08:14,884
He's right. Sam here has taken
more edges off than a carpenter.

185
00:08:17,884 --> 00:08:19,517
Listen, Rick. In my day,

186
00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:21,750
there was always a lot
of attractive young dames

187
00:08:21,784 --> 00:08:24,184
outside the stadium
waiting for the ballplayers.

188
00:08:24,217 --> 00:08:25,217
They're still there, coach.

189
00:08:25,250 --> 00:08:26,617
You kidding?

190
00:08:26,650 --> 00:08:30,783
Say hello to Rosie
macgonegal for me, will you?

191
00:08:30,816 --> 00:08:32,317
Different ones are there, coach.

192
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:33,150
Yeah.

193
00:08:38,649 --> 00:08:41,716
Listen, now, he's been
in baseball for a long time.

194
00:08:41,749 --> 00:08:44,249
Maybe there's something
to this stuff about sex.

195
00:08:44,283 --> 00:08:46,683
No, Sam. Now I appreciate
the suggestion here,

196
00:08:46,716 --> 00:08:48,815
but I just don't think
that's the answer.

197
00:08:48,848 --> 00:08:51,237
Oh, wait. Now wait just
a minute. Don't say that

198
00:08:51,249 --> 00:08:53,449
it's not the answer
until you've tried it...

199
00:08:53,483 --> 00:08:54,316
Diane. Diane...

200
00:08:54,349 --> 00:08:55,815
Excuse me.

201
00:08:55,848 --> 00:08:57,183
My name is Diane.

202
00:08:57,216 --> 00:08:58,982
I have done this for years...

203
00:08:59,015 --> 00:09:03,815
And I'll tell you, I would be
happy to teach you how to do it.

204
00:09:05,782 --> 00:09:08,215
Well, Diane. This is
very kind of you, but...

205
00:09:08,248 --> 00:09:12,448
No, no, no, please. Do me
the favor of trying it with me.

206
00:09:14,182 --> 00:09:15,215
Is she serious?

207
00:09:15,248 --> 00:09:17,947
Oh, yes. She's serious.

208
00:09:17,981 --> 00:09:19,814
She does it all the
time. She just said so.

209
00:09:19,847 --> 00:09:21,047
That's right.

210
00:09:21,081 --> 00:09:22,581
Uh, do you...

211
00:09:22,614 --> 00:09:24,614
Oh, are you kidding? Him?

212
00:09:24,647 --> 00:09:26,347
He'd just make jokes.

213
00:09:29,046 --> 00:09:30,247
Well...

214
00:09:30,281 --> 00:09:31,880
Well, ok, then. Ok.

215
00:09:31,913 --> 00:09:33,846
What time's good for you?

216
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,913
Well, personally I like to get at
least half an hour in before breakfast.

217
00:09:38,946 --> 00:09:40,780
But, um...

218
00:09:40,813 --> 00:09:44,013
Look, any time
is all right with me.

219
00:09:44,045 --> 00:09:45,079
Dog, I like you.

220
00:09:47,979 --> 00:09:50,812
You know, there is
something so beautiful

221
00:09:50,845 --> 00:09:53,579
about experiencing it outdoors.

222
00:09:55,045 --> 00:09:57,146
Don't people stare at you?

223
00:09:59,712 --> 00:10:01,879
Yes, sometimes.

224
00:10:01,912 --> 00:10:05,379
But they end up
learning something.

225
00:10:05,412 --> 00:10:07,011
Sometimes people even join in.

226
00:10:08,944 --> 00:10:11,078
You know, all this talk
has gotten me so excited.

227
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:14,111
What the hell? Let's do it now.

228
00:10:14,145 --> 00:10:15,044
Outside?

229
00:10:15,078 --> 00:10:16,778
Oh, no. No. It's a little cold,

230
00:10:16,811 --> 00:10:19,078
and I prefer to
take my shoes off.

231
00:10:19,111 --> 00:10:21,811
Sam, could we use
your office, huh?

232
00:10:21,844 --> 00:10:23,911
Wait a minute. I'm sorry,
listen I let this go too...

233
00:10:23,944 --> 00:10:27,877
No, no, no. We don't need
to hear from Mr. Sceptic.

234
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:29,578
Rick here, is after something,

235
00:10:29,611 --> 00:10:31,644
and I can show him where it is.

236
00:10:39,943 --> 00:10:41,211
[Slap]

237
00:10:58,776 --> 00:11:00,442
You got to start
doing different things.

238
00:11:00,476 --> 00:11:03,509
You got to... I don't know,
maybe discover some little ritualss.

239
00:11:03,542 --> 00:11:06,041
Or, uh, superstitions,

240
00:11:06,075 --> 00:11:08,476
maybe, you know, start
carrying around a lucky charm.

241
00:11:08,509 --> 00:11:09,908
I know that sounds silly.

242
00:11:09,941 --> 00:11:12,808
What you gotta do now
is break up your routine.

243
00:11:12,841 --> 00:11:15,908
Do you have any
superstitions, Sammy?

244
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:17,708
Well, yeah. I had
one crazy little one.

245
00:11:17,741 --> 00:11:19,441
I never pitched to anybody

246
00:11:19,475 --> 00:11:22,008
named Reggie,
Willie, or the bull.

247
00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:26,708
You did have the
lucky charm, Sam.

248
00:11:26,741 --> 00:11:29,040
Yeah, yeah. I did. That's true.

249
00:11:29,074 --> 00:11:30,341
What was it?

250
00:11:30,375 --> 00:11:33,774
Well it was a a bottle
cap that I found once.

251
00:11:33,807 --> 00:11:37,474
For some reason, I picked it up
and started carrying it around with me.

252
00:11:37,507 --> 00:11:39,774
After a while, I guess I
figured it had something to do

253
00:11:39,807 --> 00:11:42,274
with things going
my way, that's all.

254
00:11:42,307 --> 00:11:44,407
Dog, I sure could
use that bottle cap.

255
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,674
Oh, no. It doesn't
have to be this one.

256
00:11:45,707 --> 00:11:49,174
It could be any bottle
cap really or anything.

257
00:11:49,207 --> 00:11:51,906
Sam, you still have it.

258
00:11:51,939 --> 00:11:54,106
Well, yeah I just
started carrying it around

259
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:56,639
more as a superstition
than anything else.

260
00:11:56,673 --> 00:11:59,639
Could I borrow that
for a couple of days?

261
00:11:59,673 --> 00:12:00,673
This?

262
00:12:00,706 --> 00:12:01,506
Please, Sam.

263
00:12:01,539 --> 00:12:04,140
Now, this could
mean my whole career.

264
00:12:04,173 --> 00:12:08,173
Well... a couple of
days? Sure. I guess so.

265
00:12:08,206 --> 00:12:11,339
I can't guarantee
that it's going to work.

266
00:12:11,373 --> 00:12:14,339
Hey, Sam, look, I'm desperate.

267
00:12:14,373 --> 00:12:15,573
I'll try anything.

268
00:12:15,605 --> 00:12:16,972
This is great. Thanks a lot.

269
00:12:17,005 --> 00:12:19,038
Yeah. Hey, let me
buy you another beer?

270
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,438
No, thanks. I got practice.

271
00:12:20,472 --> 00:12:23,638
I'll see you in a couple
of days. Thanks a lot.

272
00:12:23,672 --> 00:12:24,272
See you, everybody.

273
00:12:24,305 --> 00:12:25,605
Thanks a lot, so long.

274
00:12:25,638 --> 00:12:27,605
Oh, hey, Rick.

275
00:12:27,638 --> 00:12:28,872
[Making choking sounds]

276
00:12:33,837 --> 00:12:36,837
Hey, Sammy. How about
another beer down here, all right?

277
00:12:36,871 --> 00:12:38,138
Sure.

278
00:12:38,172 --> 00:12:40,504
Sam, I never thought
you'd part with the bottle cap.

279
00:12:40,537 --> 00:12:41,971
Aw, come on, coach.

280
00:12:42,004 --> 00:12:45,504
It's only going to be
for a couple of days.

281
00:12:45,537 --> 00:12:48,471
It's not like it's special
or anything, magical.

282
00:12:48,504 --> 00:12:50,571
Hey, cliffie.

283
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:51,737
Here you go.

284
00:12:58,070 --> 00:13:01,836
Gee, I hope you haven't
lost your other talent, too.

285
00:13:09,136 --> 00:13:11,303
Did Rick Walker
pitch again last night?

286
00:13:11,336 --> 00:13:13,835
Yeah. He got another save.

287
00:13:13,869 --> 00:13:16,370
Boy, that old bottle cap
comes through again, huh?

288
00:13:16,403 --> 00:13:19,702
That's three saves and two wins

289
00:13:19,735 --> 00:13:20,835
in two weeks,

290
00:13:20,869 --> 00:13:22,802
and all of a sudden,
the whole city of Boston

291
00:13:22,835 --> 00:13:24,002
is in love with that kid.

292
00:13:24,035 --> 00:13:25,369
Yeah. Everybody but Sammy.

293
00:13:25,402 --> 00:13:26,669
Yeah.

294
00:13:26,702 --> 00:13:28,669
Sam and his
pre-scientific notions

295
00:13:28,702 --> 00:13:30,469
of magical bottle cap.

296
00:13:30,502 --> 00:13:32,602
Well, you got to admit,
he's had a lot of bad luck.

297
00:13:32,635 --> 00:13:33,602
And how.

298
00:13:33,635 --> 00:13:35,135
Sorry I'm late.

299
00:13:35,169 --> 00:13:36,734
What is it today, Sam?

300
00:13:36,768 --> 00:13:39,834
Aw. Nothing too exciting, I
locked my keys in the car.

301
00:13:39,868 --> 00:13:41,501
Hey, I won the pool.

302
00:13:41,534 --> 00:13:43,968
Cliff wins it three days
in a row. That's uncanny.

303
00:13:44,001 --> 00:13:45,601
What did you have
yesterday, cliff?

304
00:13:45,634 --> 00:13:47,468
It was scrapes and nicks.

305
00:13:47,501 --> 00:13:48,668
And he cut himself shaving.

306
00:13:48,701 --> 00:13:52,268
The day before that I
had stubbing something.

307
00:13:52,301 --> 00:13:53,234
It still hurts.

308
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:57,301
Tell me, what do
you like tomorrow?

309
00:13:57,334 --> 00:13:59,033
Uh...

310
00:13:59,067 --> 00:14:01,567
Uh, I see a mine shaft.

311
00:14:04,467 --> 00:14:07,567
Sam, come on. Please
tell me that you don't think

312
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,500
these things are happening

313
00:14:08,533 --> 00:14:10,567
to you because you've
lost your talisman.

314
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,300
Look what's happening to
Rick Walker with that bottle cap.

315
00:14:13,333 --> 00:14:15,133
I mean, he's turning
into a hall of famer.

316
00:14:15,167 --> 00:14:17,533
He was on A.M.
Boston this morning.

317
00:14:17,567 --> 00:14:18,932
No kidding, Sam? What'd he say?

318
00:14:18,966 --> 00:14:19,999
I don't know.

319
00:14:20,032 --> 00:14:22,666
I left my TV set next
to the heater last night.

320
00:14:22,699 --> 00:14:24,766
It exploded.

321
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:25,932
Were you hurt?

322
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:28,032
No, no. Luckily I
was unconscious

323
00:14:28,066 --> 00:14:29,065
in my bathtub.

324
00:14:31,132 --> 00:14:33,666
Sam, do you realize

325
00:14:33,699 --> 00:14:36,566
that you are causing
these accidents yourself?

326
00:14:36,599 --> 00:14:38,466
What are you talking about?

327
00:14:38,499 --> 00:14:41,698
Well, you've obviously got
something else on your mind.

328
00:14:41,731 --> 00:14:42,965
You're not concentrating.

329
00:14:42,998 --> 00:14:47,765
So you're making all these
terrible things happen to you.

330
00:14:47,798 --> 00:14:50,931
Sammy, let me have a
Dewar's rocks and a red a wine.

331
00:14:50,965 --> 00:14:52,631
Uh, coach. Listen.

332
00:14:55,864 --> 00:14:59,730
How many games did he win
with that silly thing in his pocket

333
00:14:59,764 --> 00:15:01,964
that he takes it so seriously?

334
00:15:01,997 --> 00:15:03,797
None.

335
00:15:03,830 --> 00:15:04,664
None?

336
00:15:04,697 --> 00:15:06,165
None.

337
00:15:06,198 --> 00:15:07,330
Well if he didn't win any games,

338
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:08,897
why does he think
it's a good luck charm?

339
00:15:08,930 --> 00:15:11,130
Diane, it had nothing
to do with baseball.

340
00:15:11,164 --> 00:15:15,564
Oh. I knew it. I knew
there was more to this

341
00:15:15,597 --> 00:15:16,929
than what he was
saying. Come on, tell me.

342
00:15:16,963 --> 00:15:17,963
Why is it so important to him?

343
00:15:17,996 --> 00:15:19,430
Please, Diane. I can't tell you.

344
00:15:19,464 --> 00:15:21,330
I'm sorry. I can't.

345
00:15:21,364 --> 00:15:23,529
Come on, coach.
I'm real curious.

346
00:15:23,563 --> 00:15:28,029
Ok. You can ask me
a yes or a no question.

347
00:15:28,063 --> 00:15:29,196
Ok.

348
00:15:30,329 --> 00:15:31,629
One question?

349
00:15:31,663 --> 00:15:34,229
Yes. Sam, would
you take that, please?

350
00:15:36,496 --> 00:15:39,196
Sammy, you grabbed
the coffeepot by the sides.

351
00:15:39,229 --> 00:15:40,028
Yes, I did.

352
00:15:40,062 --> 00:15:40,895
Doesn't it hurt?

353
00:15:40,928 --> 00:15:44,163
Hurt's not the right word.

354
00:15:44,196 --> 00:15:48,862
Hey, did anybody have any
money down on the coffeepot?

355
00:15:48,895 --> 00:15:51,895
Sammy, you've got to
get that bottle cap back.

356
00:15:51,928 --> 00:15:56,695
For the first time in my life,
I'd rather be me than you.

357
00:15:56,728 --> 00:15:59,094
Yeah, Sam. Ask the
kid for the cap, will you?

358
00:15:59,128 --> 00:16:00,794
I mean, he's going good now.

359
00:16:00,827 --> 00:16:03,894
Maybe he's rolling again. He's
got the old confidence back.

360
00:16:03,927 --> 00:16:06,361
Yeah maybe he just
doesn't need it anymore.

361
00:16:06,394 --> 00:16:09,727
Sam, please. Give him
a call. He'll understand.

362
00:16:09,761 --> 00:16:10,627
You think so?

363
00:16:10,661 --> 00:16:13,461
Absolutely. Go on. Right now.

364
00:16:13,494 --> 00:16:16,793
Well, all right. If
you guys insist.

365
00:16:16,826 --> 00:16:18,194
Wait a minute, Sammy.

366
00:16:18,227 --> 00:16:19,594
You can't call him now.

367
00:16:19,627 --> 00:16:21,960
His, uh... Game just
started at Fenway.

368
00:16:24,493 --> 00:16:28,194
Well, I, uh...
Guess you're right.

369
00:16:28,226 --> 00:16:30,960
I can survive nine innings, huh?

370
00:16:30,993 --> 00:16:33,793
With your luck, it'll
go into extra innings.

371
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:35,726
And that's out number three,

372
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,925
Walker has done it
again. He retires the side.

373
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:40,193
And we head into the bottom

374
00:16:40,226 --> 00:16:43,193
of the 21st inning.

375
00:16:43,226 --> 00:16:44,525
Perfect.

376
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:47,260
No kidding. Norm,
is it the 21st inning?

377
00:16:47,292 --> 00:16:48,959
Let's see...

378
00:16:50,525 --> 00:16:51,759
I get 22,

379
00:16:51,792 --> 00:16:57,791
but, uh, this one could
be the national anthem.

380
00:16:57,824 --> 00:17:00,359
Yeah, well. That's a little
bit too much baseball for me.

381
00:17:00,392 --> 00:17:01,459
I'm heading out of here.

382
00:17:01,492 --> 00:17:04,325
Not me, cliffie. I'm
a real Red Sox fan.

383
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,458
I stay to the very last out.

384
00:17:06,491 --> 00:17:08,924
It's closing time, norm. I
can't serve you any more.

385
00:17:08,958 --> 00:17:14,258
It's not like it's the
world series or anything.

386
00:17:14,291 --> 00:17:17,491
Good night... Wake up, Diane.

387
00:17:17,524 --> 00:17:18,957
Cliffie, let's go do
something, huh?

388
00:17:18,990 --> 00:17:21,191
Nah, not tonight, norm. I
gotta be down to the post office

389
00:17:21,224 --> 00:17:23,391
in a few hours, pick up my bag.

390
00:17:23,424 --> 00:17:25,057
I gotta go crawl
into bed with mine.

391
00:17:27,790 --> 00:17:30,890
Well, I think I'll
make it on home, too.

392
00:17:30,923 --> 00:17:33,857
I'll see you tomorrow, Sam.

393
00:17:33,890 --> 00:17:35,423
Come on, Carla.
I'll give you a lift.

394
00:17:35,457 --> 00:17:37,523
No. I don't want to
miss any of the game.

395
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:39,590
Come on, you can
hear it on the car radio.

396
00:17:39,623 --> 00:17:41,357
How far away is your car?

397
00:17:41,390 --> 00:17:42,689
About a block and a half.

398
00:17:42,722 --> 00:17:44,522
Al right, just... Let's
wait for the right moment.

399
00:17:44,556 --> 00:17:46,922
We now pause 10 seconds...

400
00:17:46,956 --> 00:17:49,123
Throw out your keys!

401
00:17:49,157 --> 00:17:50,222
Which direction?

402
00:17:50,256 --> 00:17:54,189
One block north and
about 1/2 block east.

403
00:17:54,222 --> 00:17:56,021
Or did I take the bus today?

404
00:17:58,821 --> 00:18:00,189
Good night, Diane.

405
00:18:00,222 --> 00:18:02,888
Sam, don't worry about a
thing. It's going to be all right.

406
00:18:05,088 --> 00:18:07,322
Well, I guess I'll
knock off, too. Ok?

407
00:18:07,356 --> 00:18:08,321
Yeah.

408
00:18:10,688 --> 00:18:12,255
Yeah, I could, uh...

409
00:18:12,288 --> 00:18:16,020
I could go to the all-night
bookstore in Cambridge.

410
00:18:16,054 --> 00:18:21,355
Or I could go home and
make myself a cup of tea.

411
00:18:21,388 --> 00:18:22,654
What do you think
I should do, Sam?

412
00:18:22,687 --> 00:18:24,121
Score!

413
00:18:24,155 --> 00:18:26,854
That would have
to be the bookstore.

414
00:18:26,887 --> 00:18:29,255
If it stays clear,
that's a home run!

415
00:18:29,287 --> 00:18:31,487
It's clear and it's gone!

416
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,520
All right!

417
00:18:32,554 --> 00:18:36,053
Oh, the game's over and
my baby's coming home.

418
00:18:36,086 --> 00:18:38,487
Um... may I ask a question?

419
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,019
Uh, could you hold that
question for a minute?

420
00:18:40,053 --> 00:18:43,287
I got a very important
phone call to make here.

421
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,686
You're calling Rick, right?

422
00:18:44,719 --> 00:18:46,853
Yeah, I think that's his name.

423
00:18:46,886 --> 00:18:48,919
Do you have the bull pit number?

424
00:18:48,953 --> 00:18:54,019
No. They'd probably be
in the bunkhouse by now.

425
00:18:54,053 --> 00:18:57,519
Uh, hey, Marty! Yeah
I'ts mayday Malone.

426
00:18:57,553 --> 00:18:59,153
How you doing?

427
00:18:59,186 --> 00:19:00,553
Yeah. Thank you. I'm doing fine.

428
00:19:00,586 --> 00:19:03,153
Listen. Is Walker there?

429
00:19:03,186 --> 00:19:05,685
All right. When he
gets out of the showers,

430
00:19:05,718 --> 00:19:08,119
tell him to call
me here at cheers.

431
00:19:08,153 --> 00:19:11,452
All right? Ok. Thanks.

432
00:19:11,485 --> 00:19:12,985
Ohh.

433
00:19:13,018 --> 00:19:15,785
I, uh... I believe you
had a question there.

434
00:19:15,818 --> 00:19:19,218
Ah, well, I guess it
isn't important now.

435
00:19:19,252 --> 00:19:21,552
It's just that I
know this bottle cap

436
00:19:21,585 --> 00:19:23,185
has nothing to do with baseball,

437
00:19:23,218 --> 00:19:26,252
and I was hoping
that you'd tell me

438
00:19:26,285 --> 00:19:28,984
what it's all about.

439
00:19:29,017 --> 00:19:31,185
I know you've been curious.

440
00:19:31,218 --> 00:19:32,984
I haven't wanted to
tell you the real situation

441
00:19:33,017 --> 00:19:36,251
'cause... You'll
think I'm silly.

442
00:19:36,284 --> 00:19:38,651
Well, would it ease
your mind at all

443
00:19:38,684 --> 00:19:41,617
if I told you I already
think you're silly?

444
00:19:41,651 --> 00:19:45,016
Yeah, that might
help a little bit.

445
00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:48,251
You see, that little bottle
cap keeps me from drinking.

446
00:19:48,284 --> 00:19:49,416
Silly, huh?

447
00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:58,683
You don't hear it
speaking, do you?

448
00:19:58,716 --> 00:20:02,749
Well, nothing beyond an
occasional little small talk.

449
00:20:02,782 --> 00:20:04,782
It is a very little bottle cap.

450
00:20:06,749 --> 00:20:09,915
All right. I'll bite.

451
00:20:09,949 --> 00:20:11,849
How does it keep
you from drinking?

452
00:20:11,882 --> 00:20:13,282
Just out of curiosity.

453
00:20:14,982 --> 00:20:17,749
It's the cap off the
last bottle of beer

454
00:20:17,782 --> 00:20:19,449
I ever drank.

455
00:20:19,482 --> 00:20:22,014
Last anything I ever drank.

456
00:20:22,048 --> 00:20:25,282
I remember holding
onto that bottle cap

457
00:20:25,315 --> 00:20:27,382
during some pretty rough nights.

458
00:20:27,415 --> 00:20:28,748
I'd wake up in the morning

459
00:20:28,781 --> 00:20:30,681
and I'd have its
imprint in my palm.

460
00:20:30,714 --> 00:20:33,149
I mean, it was flat because
I was squeezing it so hard.

461
00:20:35,314 --> 00:20:37,014
When I was tempted
to have a drink,

462
00:20:37,047 --> 00:20:40,047
sometimes I'd look
at the bottle cap,

463
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,847
and it would stop me.

464
00:20:45,013 --> 00:20:47,647
That's a pretty great
little bottle cap, huh?

465
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,780
You want to know
something really crazy?

466
00:20:50,813 --> 00:20:54,380
The last couple of nights
I have really had an urge

467
00:20:54,413 --> 00:20:55,880
to have a drink.

468
00:20:55,913 --> 00:20:57,347
[Telephone rings]

469
00:20:57,380 --> 00:20:58,747
That's probably for you.

470
00:20:58,780 --> 00:20:59,447
Probably.

471
00:21:00,780 --> 00:21:03,113
Listen, uh, thank you.

472
00:21:03,147 --> 00:21:04,180
Thank you for listening.

473
00:21:04,213 --> 00:21:06,646
Oh, well, if I wasn't here,

474
00:21:06,679 --> 00:21:10,446
I'd be at home in bed with
the brothers karamazov.

475
00:21:10,479 --> 00:21:11,280
Don't say it.

476
00:21:12,912 --> 00:21:14,046
Hello.

477
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:15,912
Hey, Rick, how you doing?

478
00:21:15,946 --> 00:21:18,045
Hey, that's a
pretty terrific win

479
00:21:18,078 --> 00:21:19,912
you got there for yourself.

480
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:21,579
Yeah. Congratulations.

481
00:21:21,612 --> 00:21:23,312
Listen, uh...

482
00:21:23,346 --> 00:21:27,112
I guess you're kind of back on
the beam now, wouldn't you say?

483
00:21:27,146 --> 00:21:28,878
You know, I was
thinking this afternoon,

484
00:21:28,911 --> 00:21:32,212
you remember I,
uh... Loaned you a...

485
00:21:32,246 --> 00:21:34,511
Bottle cap or something?

486
00:21:34,545 --> 00:21:36,345
Uh, well, it's
gonna sound funny,

487
00:21:36,378 --> 00:21:39,345
but I'm kind of missing
that dumb thing.

488
00:21:42,411 --> 00:21:43,678
You did?

489
00:21:46,044 --> 00:21:48,977
Why didn't you
tell me that, Rick?

490
00:21:53,010 --> 00:21:55,977
No. No, that's all right.

491
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:57,110
No, never mind.

492
00:22:00,610 --> 00:22:01,344
What's wrong?

493
00:22:04,776 --> 00:22:08,743
He, uh, lost it a week
ago in Kansas City.

494
00:22:08,776 --> 00:22:11,709
He was putting off
telling me about it.

495
00:22:14,443 --> 00:22:17,009
Kansas City!

496
00:22:17,043 --> 00:22:19,909
One town I've always
wanted to see, huh?

497
00:22:19,943 --> 00:22:21,143
We'll jump on a plane...

498
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:27,109
Oh, well...

499
00:22:27,143 --> 00:22:27,775
What's the difference?

500
00:22:27,808 --> 00:22:29,209
Easy come, easy go, huh?

501
00:22:31,276 --> 00:22:33,209
Come on, Sam, let's get on.

502
00:22:36,475 --> 00:22:37,608
Go home.

503
00:22:37,642 --> 00:22:39,775
I'll tell you what, even better,

504
00:22:39,808 --> 00:22:42,775
let's just talk, you know?

505
00:22:42,808 --> 00:22:44,841
Well, uh... What are
you going to tell me

506
00:22:44,874 --> 00:22:47,774
that I haven't heard
a hundred times, huh?

507
00:22:47,807 --> 00:22:49,208
Oh, come on, Sam.

508
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:51,807
It's important that you
not be here tonight.

509
00:22:51,841 --> 00:22:53,074
[Crash]

510
00:22:53,108 --> 00:22:55,041
You don't want to be in a bar.

511
00:22:55,074 --> 00:22:57,241
Where am I going
to be tomorrow night?

512
00:22:57,274 --> 00:22:59,041
And the next? And
the day after that, huh?

513
00:22:59,073 --> 00:23:00,374
I'm going to be in a bar, right?

514
00:23:00,407 --> 00:23:02,407
But you're going to
feel better tomorrow.

515
00:23:03,940 --> 00:23:07,341
No. No. I'm going
to feel better tonight.

516
00:23:07,374 --> 00:23:08,840
Here's an idea.

517
00:23:08,873 --> 00:23:10,706
Why don't you
watch me get drunk?

518
00:23:10,740 --> 00:23:14,606
I'll get real sick.

519
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,440
Sam, no.

520
00:23:15,473 --> 00:23:18,406
Don't. Just don't.

521
00:24:04,738 --> 00:24:07,870
I guess I, uh, gave the
wrong one to Rick, huh?

522
00:24:09,438 --> 00:24:12,670
Aw Diane, I'm sorry.
Are you all right?

523
00:24:12,703 --> 00:24:13,703
Yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine.

524
00:24:13,737 --> 00:24:16,238
I knew you could do it.
I knew you could do it.

525
00:24:16,271 --> 00:24:17,370
You're, uh...
