Field of Dreams Page #4

Synopsis: Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his corn field tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field.

That's not true.

You don't know

the first thing about farming .

l know a lot about farming .

More than you think.

Well , then how could you plow

under your major crop?

What's a crop?

AN N l E:
Come on . That is funny.

What's a crop?

Daddy,

the baseball game is on .

Excuse us.

Annie, l don't believe

this guy.

l'm trying to bail him out,

and he leaves

to watch television .

He used to be normal .

Yeah .

(LAUG H l NG)

Buck !

ALL:
Whoa !

MAN :
All right.

Hoy! Hoy! Hoy!

All right! Home base !

Watch Joe's feet.

A good left fielder

knows what pitch is coming .

He can tell

from the bat's angle

which way the ball's heading .

(ALL CH EERl NG)

Show off!

Stick it in your ear, Gandil .

lf you'd have run like that

against Detroit,

l'd have won 20 games !

For Pete's sakes , Cicotte ,

that was 68 years ago.

Give it up !

Hey! You guys want

to play ball or what?

Muscle-bound jerk.

At least l got muscles.

At most you got muscles.

Come on , a**hole ! Pitch !

Weaver, be nice.

Sorry, kid !

lt's okay. l don't mind .

ALL:
All right, Karin .

Hey, hey, hey!

Ray? Honey, Mom

and everybody's leaving now.

Okay.

Oh , well , it was . . . You know.

Thanks for coming .

Ray, think about what l said .

l'm just trying to help .

l know.

Thought you two were watching

some game.

lt's not really a game.

lt's more like practice.

There's only eight of them .

They can't play a real game.

Eight of what?

Them .

Who them?

Them them .

RAY:
You don't see them?

Karin , honey,

what are you watching?

The baseball men .

MARK:
Baseball men?

Do you see

the baseball men right now?

Of course l do .

What, you really

don't see them?

lt's not very polite

to try to make other people

feel stupid .

Mom , wait a minute.

Mom ! Wait a minute.

Dee. Dee, wait.

You don't see these people?

lt's not funny, Annie.

They couldn't see it.

This is really interesting .

Hey, Ray, look at this.

Sixty-eight years

since l wore this uniform ,

still fits me like a glove.

You must keep

in pretty good shape.

Now let's see, l died in '70 .

That means l haven't had

a cigarette in 1 8 years.

You don't smoke, do you?

No.

Karin ! Ray! Dinner!

"Ray, dinner."

"Dinner, Ray."

All right, all right.

Come on .

Let's hit the showers.

See you later.

MAN :

That is so cool .

MALE VOlCE:
Ease his pain .

What?

l'm sorry. What?

l didn't understand . What?

MALE VOlCE:
Ease his pain .

Ease his pain . What. . .

What the hell does that mean ,

What pain? All right.

Whose pain?

Thanks a lot.

Come on , honey, wash up .
