Im thinking of putting together

a one-man show.

-Tour de force kind of thing.

-Yeah.

That way you don't have some other

actors dragging you down, you know?

A one-man show, that's the way to go.

I got to find some piece

that really shows my...

My... I don't know, I can't find the words.

Like homeboy with the big mustache?

You know, the Huckleberry Finn dude?

What his name?

-Mark Twain?

-Yeah, yeah.

I could do Mark Twain. I could do that.

But I need something

that stretches me more, you know.

Something that really challenges me.

Something that'll show off

my talents and my abilities.

Yeah, well, why don't you show your

talents and abilities on this here?

Like to go to movie premieres?

-Hey, what the hell is this?

-What up?

What up? There's nobody here.

I mean, how do I know who gets what?

Oh, man.

Where everybody at?

Are they outside?

They're all outside. Something's going on.

Back up on the curb.

-I saw it out of the corner of my eye.

-Everyone, please

get back up on the curb!

Back behind the cones!

French toast, right?

Pastry and a coffee, half decaf, half regular.

-Eggs over?

-What, are you on glue?

Portuguese sausage.

-Portuguese sausage?

-That's right.

You were in this restaurant?

-Cream cheese and bagel?

-Lox and bagel.

-Whitefish.

-Whitefish? I've been looking for you.

How am I gonna do this?

How am I gonna do this?

Got him!

All right! Terrific! Way to go!

All right for the boys in blue!

And girls, too!

I don't know who gets what here.

F*** it! This sh*t's getting cold!

Soup's on!

Has anyone seen the corned beef hash?

Hey, waiter!

Hey, shorty!

Hey, hey. I asked for scrambled eggs.

Scrambled eggs.

These are not scrambled eggs!

-Now they're scrambled!

-What about my egg whites?

-Whitefish!

-I found the whitefish.

I don't know where your toast is!

Give me the bagel.

Another half cup of coffee!

Suck it off the floor.

I like it hot!

Waiter!

You eat this!

Mr. Alto, is this a cafeteria?

No.

Then he says, "That's what I thought."

I hired a waiter,

so this is not a cafeteria.

I said, "Yeah, but I had this problem."

He says, "I can hire. I can fire."

End of story. End of job.

-What are you going to do now?

-What am I gonna do?

Sometimes you gotta

take the bad with the strong.

Is that an expression?

I don't know. Its new to me.

Yeah, it's a new expression.

Hey, there goes John.

He's winding up for the pitch.

Want to watch him again?

What the hell's that all about?

Why does he do that?

I told you.

Tell me that again.

The story goes

they brought him up to the majors.

They brought him in.

Relief pitch, crucial game,

something like that.

First pitch he threw, boom.
