Henry and Me Page #2

---

You can't? But you are.

I mean I'm sick.

I can't be around all these people.

I can't leave the hospital...

and I definitely can't

go to Yankee Stadium!

Well, is there anything you can do?

I want to go back. Now!

Where's my bed?

And my IV's?

I can't remember.

Yes, you can. You just don't want to.

Now, you wanna go dressed like that,

or you wanna wear

something a little less...

open... in the back?

- You're not listening to me.

- Sure I am.

You said you can go to Yankee stadium,

you just don't want to.

That's not what I... hey!

What...

Stop it!

Don't you get it? I'm sick.

I'm not supposed to he here.

I'm not supposed to be anywhere.

What's wrong with them?

They're waiting for you to decide...

what you want to do.

What I want doesn't matter.

What you want is the

only thing that matters.

At least, in here.

Jack, it's okay.

Good Luck. We're all rooting for you!

- Who's rooting for me?

- Everyone, silly.

Let's go Yankees! Let's go Yankees!

Oh, no. The Yankees are down by six!

They can't come back from this.

I mean it'll be hard to come

back from that far down.

Yeah, hard, but not impossible.

Ah, can I see your tickets please?

Oh, welcome back, sir.

I didn't recognize you. Let me just

make sure your seats are ready.

- They know you here?

- Yeah, well,

I drop by a lot.

So, you want to meet

some of the guys?

- What guys?

- What guys?

- The Yankees!

- Really?

- Well, uh, only if you want to.

- I want to. I really want to.

Right this way gentlemen. Row one.

10... 9...

- Keep counting, Jack.

- 8...

- 7... 6...

- Ah, you're doing great.

- 5...

- Alright.

4... 3...

2...

Henry...

We weren't done, yet, were we Jack?

Wow... I'm back.

- Big guy, isn't he?

- That guy hits like Babe Ruth.

Well, he should...

because he is Babe Ruth!

Well, you said you wanted

to meet some of the guys...

Why isn't he wearing

his Yankees uniform?

Well, he's on a barnstorming tour.

Playing in the off-season.

Letting the fans get

up close and personal.

Besides, it's not the uniform that makes

you a Yankee... it's what's in here.

Henry!

- Hey, George.

- My pal, Henry.

Long time no see.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

I just got this suit pressed.

Who's the kid?

Well, this here is Jack.

He's a friend of mine.

Hello, kid. I'm Babe Ruth.

Nice to meet you.

- Can he speak?

- Well, sometimes.

Doesn't matter. Any friend

of Henry's is a friend of mine.

Come on kid,

you wanna take a few swings?

Me? I, I can't. I, I uh...

Come on, I don't want to hear that.

But I've been sick and my leg,

my leg kind of hurts.

I stubbed my toe yesterday

and... I'm allergic to peanuts?

Allergic to peanuts?

Yeah, me, too. Right, Henry?
