Sh*t, man.

We're 5-2, and leading the league.

Ha ha ha!

You guys remember

Sonny Burns.

Hi.

Sonny, you know this bunch

of muff divers.

You got Wilks Wilkerson,

Jocko Biemer...

Russ, hey, let's get another round

for the boys.

Please and thank you, huh?

So, Guns, you still blankin'

Deedee Armbruster?

Hey, be careful, Gun.

She'll make an honest man

out of you.

No. The old cocksman is not ready

to pack it in yet.

So, I heard Shins tied the knot, huh?

You mean, "Pops" Shins?

Oh, no!

Patsy already dropped

a bambino for him.

Hey, Guns, we need a good man

on the mound.

How's the old wing?

Yeah, how about it?

Don't you worry

about the old wing.

Yeah? All right!

The old Gunner's back!

Gunner! Gunner! Gunner! Gunner!

All I wanna know is...

what the hell was I doing hanging out

with a loser like Sonny Burns?

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Whoo-hoo! Aah!

Sonny!

Yeah? Hey.

Where you going?

Oh, I don't know.

I just thought you might...

You know, you haven't seen

these guys...

I don't feel like shootin' the sh*t

with those guys right now.

- Let's get outta here.

- Yeah?

Hey, you guys

still out here, huh?

Welcome home,

Guns, baby.

How you doin'?

Oh, these two look good.

All right, war hero.

Why don't you stop loafing

and get a job

instead of hanging out

in front of my house?

Nina... I'm home!

Yeah, that was that

Southport game.

Did you take that picture?

I... I don't know.

Nina loves that picture.

That's a 67...

Speak of the devil.

Hi, Nina.

Hi, darling!

Oh... sweetheart.

How are you?

Good. I want you to meet my friend,

Sonny Burns.

Sonny, this is my mother, Nina.

Very pleased to meet you,

Mrs. Casselman.

Hmm. Well, you fellas

want a drink?

Uh, no. I was just gonna get me

and Sonny a beer.

It's a very nice apartment

you have here, Mrs. Casselman.

Nina.

Oh, it's suits me fine,

bachelor girl like myself.

Sit down.

I haven't seen

you before.

What'd you say your name

was again?

Willard Burns.

That's Sonny Burns.

He went to Shortly.

I know all the gang from Shortly.

I haven't heard

of him before.

Well, nobody did,

really.

Why not?

Well, I didn't do much.

Oh, hell yes, he did.

Sonny was an ace photographer

for the Echo.

He was the same for the paper

up at I.U.

Oh. I.U.?

What house were you in?

Uh, the rooming house.

Ha ha ha! The rooming house.

That's good.

That's funny.

Well, I guess I just don't

get the joke.

Well, I'm gonna give Sonny

a lift home.

I hope you're not forgetting

about tonight, Gunner.

No, Nina.

I broke 2 dates to be with you

tonight, sweetie.

Not that I wouldn't

rather be with you.

I want you to show

Nina a good time.

All right.
