Better Off Single Page #2

Miserable, Charlie, is what

people are meant to be.

You mind if I smoke?

I wish you could hear

half of the incessant whining

that goes on in this room.

You people are relentless.

Although my Catskills cabin

does say thank you.

Well, then sign me up

for six more years

of these sessions

right now, can we?

Charlie, you pose

a very good question...

Very good...

About our sessions.

Um, Charlie.

We need to talk. I've wanted to

bring this up for a long time,

but with your birthday

and the summer holidays

and that layoff situation

you've been dealing with,

I didn't think

it was the right time...

But, you know, when is it really

the "right time"?

Charlie, what I'm saying is

I think it would be good for us

to take a little time off.

It's August, right?

You're probably headed to

wherever that massive

therapist rave is.

Wherever you guys go this time of year.

Just give me the dates.

- It's fine.

- No, that's not it.

Charlie, look.

I need to stop seeing you

because it's time for me to

start seeing other people.

Oh. Is it

something I said?

No, it's not you, Charlie

it's me.

You know, you saying that

- really does bring up

a lot of feelings for me.

Sh*t. I really

gotta take this.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I'm gonna need

some more of this stuff.

I don't know where the

hell you got this sh*t,

but it's spectacular.

Throbbing, fetishistic climaxes

again and again and again.

There's no question

Franco made a great play.

Just catching the ball

at your feet is tough enough

let alone one

sailing end-over-end

then to dance down the sideline

even throw in a little

bit of stiff-arm?

Yeah. It was incredible.

But still...

It's not the same thing.

Now, baseball, on the other hand

now, that is a game of matchups.

That is a game of intent.

You can't get lucky

and hit a 98-mile-an-hour

fastball.

You can't get lucky and

throw a sweeping curveball

nailing the outside

corner of the plate.

I mean, what's better

than two outs,

bottom of the ninth,

three-two count,

a runner on second

and down by a run?

The pitch Dennis Eckersley

intends to throw

and the swing kirk Gibson

intends to put on the ball...

One pitch, one swing... a world series

winner and a world series loser?

I mean, it's insane!

But listen to me, rambling on.

All talking...

Talking is exactly what we

don't need me to be doing,

- now do we?

You, my friend

need to be watching

further examples

of baseball's superiority to

every other sport in the world

while I...

I need to...

Well, you'll

figure out the rest.

That's some athleticism,

wouldn't you say, Kenny?

An all-star caliber move.

No question about it.

- So smooth. -Makes a
