Hey, Coach.
1251
00:53:02,379 --> 00:53:04,063
Beautiful day for a ball game.

- without my lawyer present?
- It's okay, Pete.
1258
00:53:18,059 --> 00:53:20,460
I'm not here for you.
Take it easy.

1261
00:53:25,979 --> 00:53:30,906
Oh, it's nice that Karen and Bill
come out to see their grandson play.
1262
00:53:31,019 --> 00:53:32,987
It'll be a little awkward
when we handcuff them
1263
00:53:33,099 --> 00:53:35,909

I don't know.
That looked a little low to me.
1268
00:53:46,619 --> 00:53:49,907
Anyway, we got a subpoena
on your folks' investment portfolio
1269
00:53:50,059 --> 00:53:53,905
and it seems that they were in
on the Pepsum trade, among others.
1270
00:53:54,059 --> 00:53:57,950
And I know and you know
that was not a legal trade.
1271
00:53:58,059 --> 00:54:00,903
And they'll say that they didn't know,
that they're innocent.
1272
00:54:01,019 --> 00:54:04,546
But, hey, that's what they all say.
1273
00:54:04,659 --> 00:54:06,548
- This is not right.
- Yeah.
1274
00:54:06,699 --> 00:54:08,428
Right and wrong.
That's a funny line, isn't it?
1275
00:54:08,539 --> 00:54:12,260
- [man] Ball!
- [crowd groaning]
1276
00:54:12,379 --> 00:54:14,108
But you know what is kind of wrong?
1277
00:54:14,219 --> 00:54:17,223
This being Saturday, we bring them in,
the courts aren't open,
1278
00:54:17,339 --> 00:54:19,467
so it's gonna be
a sleepover situation.
1279
00:54:19,579 --> 00:54:22,310
They don't deserve that.
1280
00:54:22,419 --> 00:54:24,945
But that's what
they're gonna fucking get.
