to high schools?
Any answers?
Three.
What'd they say?
The first school
didn't want me for a coach.
The second school
didn't want me for a coach.
And, heh, the third school...
They just didn't want me.
Any mail for me?
Five more letters.
Business must be good.
Let's open 'em.
Pickwick College
doesn't want any coaches.
Bainbridge either.
See what's in this one.
Horton U. Says sorry.
Western State... no soap.
Uh-oh...
you've got a job, brother.
I have?
What does it say?
Listen to this...
"From the President
of the United States.
Greetings!"
(woman) He sure writes
interesting letters.
(Rae) Oh, yes!
Listen to this, Mildred.
"The other day
my commanding officer
"called me in
and told me the good news.
"So I'm some kind
even if it's for the army."
Sounds like he's happy.
And he looks good too.
In his new picture.
And a lieutenant now.
That's a mighty fine job.
Why can't this wait
till later on?
Dinner's almost ready.
It'll only take a minute, Mom.
That's just like you.
First thing
on top is your glove.
What're you going to do with it?
Don't know if I'll ever
do anything with it again.
Ah, more mail again.
I bet you spent
50 bucks on stamps.
If it gets me a job,
it'll be worth it.
Idaho Poly
doesn't want any coaches.
Hey, wait a minute.
What is it?
A job!
Not the President
greeting me again?
No, but you read it.
Robinson, you're up next.
Pick out the one you like
and give it a ride.
Yes, sir!
Now batting
for the Black Panthers,
Jackie Robinson, shortstop.
All right, just a minute, boy.
This is a new boy, Sampson.
Take it real easy with him.
Nice and easy.
Let him hit it.
Yeah, I'll do that little thing.
Okay, boy...
Easy, man... throw it easy.
(umpire) Strike!
What?
Let me help you up,
Mr. Robinson.
My goodness,
I don't know what's wrong
with that pitcher today.
You hadn't ought
to do that, Sampson.
You'll make this boy mad.
Nice and easy, I said!
Ball one!
What's wrong with that boy?
He's incorrigible,
that's what he is...
Incorrigible!
Right here now, man!
Strike two!
Man alive,
you sure swing pretty!
- Hold it!
- Whack!
(umpire) Safe!
You shouldn't
a done that, new boy.
I thought we gonna be friends.
(catcher) Oh, why didn't
you throw the ball right?
Safe!
Hey, that's enough of that.
How about "Shortnin' Bread"?
Never mind about
"Shortnin' Bread."
How about some ham and eggs?
That's a pretty good idea.
Okay, okay, we'll stop
at the next drive-in.
Is it always like this?
Sleeping on the bus?
Most of the time.
