Don't Come Knocking Page #3

his mother's door

unless there's some

kind of serious trouble.

No, I just-- I just

needed to see you.

Well, I understand that part.

I mean, I thought it'd do me

some good to come back here

and just stay for

a while, you know.

You been doing all that

stuff what they said about

you in the magazines?

What stuff?

You know, that stuff.

No, I don't.

Like carousing around.

You know the magazines

are just full of gossip.

I don't give two

hoots about it,

I'm just curious.

No, I haven't been

doing anything. I haven't

been doing any of that stuff.

Because if you were doing

all that stuff, it's no wonder

you're not feeling so hot.

I feel fine.

I mean, just the

sheer exhaustion of it.

I wasn't doing anything.

It's just that-- That--

That things came up

and they kind of

snowballed and--

What

Well, you know, opportunities.

Opportunities are supposed

to be a good thing,

aren't they?

Yeah, but not always.

Sometimes--

What the hell are

you staring at?!

Come on, Mom,

let's get out of here.

Well,

I haven't finished my coffee.

I just gotta get some air.

You'll have to excuse my son,

he's lost his manners.

That happens sometimes

when people stray too

far from home, Susie.

Don't worry about it, Lulu.

I don't know why

you're so upset

about this, Mom.

Rudeness is one

thing I've never

been able to tolerate, Howard.

I mean, I--

I don't understand rudeness.

I know, Mom.

I mean,

it's nothing, it's over.

The man was staring at me.

It's rude to stare.

Well, so be it, you didn't

need to take his head off.

Well, I apologize.

Well,

it's embarrassing, Howard.

Just embarrassing.

Well, I'm sorry. Sorry.

So I--

I prepared a room

for you downstairs.

I hope it'll

fit you, I just...

I just don't

have all the space

we had in the old ranch house.

No, it'll be fine, Mom.

Mm-hmm.

It'll be fine.

Well,

it's handy to the kitchen,

and there's a bivvy right

Where do you sleep?

Just down the hall.

Hmm.

So if you need anything,

you just holler.

Well, thanks, Mom.

Yeah, sure.

Good night.

Night.

Oh, where is the basement?

Right through the kitchen.

Okay.

Nighty-night.

Night.

MAN 1 :

Here's the wind-up.

And the pitch. Ball two.

--and the pitch.

There's a smash up

the middle.

Off Garrett's glove,

fielded by Scott near

the bag, the throw.

They got him.

MAN 2:

What a play by the

second baseman, Craig.

There was no way

to make that play.

But what are you gonna say?

He showed you

why he's regarded

as being the best

in the business.

I tell you, it was amazing.

You know, I thought that...

Do you believe...

Hey, Ma?

Think I'm gonna go out

and get some air, all right?

Have a nice time.
