Ring the Bell Page #2

We're really proud of

him here in Middletown.

He's heading off to

Stetson University.

He's going to play for Pete Dunn.

Is that so?

Come on, right on,

can't do it again, baby!

Come on, Shawn, do it again!

Best pitcher of all time, Nolan Ryan.

Not a chance!

Greg Maddux, the professor.

He could put the ball

anywhere he wanted.

The Ryan Express threw faster than

anyone, seven no hitters.

Mad Dog, four straight CY Young's,

18 gold gloves,

plus he was cute.

Coffee, Mr. Johnson?

Is it decaf?

This is decaf.

I have to have decaf.

I can't take that regular stuff.

I only put decaf in the orange pot.

You know,

I went into the city once,

and a guy told me, he said that

in the orange pot was hazelnut.

Hazelnut?

Well, I don't make hazelnut coffee

here, Mr. Johnson.

I only put decaf in the orange pot.

- I'll take decaf.

- All right.

What's good around here?

Fried chicken, potato salad,

you name it.

It's all good.

Daisy's being modest.

The best thing around

here are the pies.

She makes the best pies around.

We have apple or lemon.

Tough choice.

Well, like I say, when you have a choice

like that, take one of each.

Some offers in life,

you just can't refuse.

Come on, dragon!

No more, you're done.

Give the ball to anyone else.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

That's not still in the deal.

Stop right there!

Freeze!

Okay, now I'm ready.

My name is Maggie.

- Can I help you?

- Checking in.

What's the name?

Decker, Rob Decker.

- And you have a reservation?

- Yes.

- Could it be under a different name?

- No.

And you're sure you called

and made a reservation?

No, my assistant did.

Oh, you have an assistant?

That is quite impressive.

Well, it looks like we don't have

a reservation under that name.

Just get me a room then.

Say please.

Please.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It looks like we're sold out.

Sold out?

There's not another soul around.

I'm sorry.

We don't have anymore rooms.

I'm sure my assistant

made a reservation.

Can I use your phone?

- Is it a local call?

- No.

Unfortunately, it does not

dial long distance.

That is ridiculous.

Look, I have to have a room!

How about this?

How about now?

Oh, this is just too funny!

She said you were going

to try to do this!

Who's she?

And try what?

Claire, your assistant.

Claire.

And she said that first you were

going to try to bribe me,

and also to look out,

because you might

try to throw your phone.

Claire, Claire.

You talked to Claire?

I really like her.

She is such a hoot.

She helped me plan out

this whole scheme

when she called and checked

you in this morning.

Really?

She is such a hoot!

What on earth is that?

That's a high five.
