Gave up a home run, lost the game

never pitched again in the majors.

Supposedly what he's doing

is always re-enacting that pitch,

trying to get it right,

living that moment.

Boom.

-Any of this sound familiar to you?

-Huh?

Come on. Ill do it again for you tomorrow.

Hell of a thing going through life

living that moment over and over again,

regretting that you never got it right,

you never had another chance. Poor f***.

Im not gonna spend my life

living the same moment

over and over again.

Im going to beat it.

Lorne Greene didn't happen

in his 20s or even in his 30s.

All of a sudden, boom, the guy shows

up on Bonanza he's got white hair.

He hung in there.

You know,

he was in there for the long haul.

l got to hand it to Lorne, he hung in there.

Nothing's ever going to stop me. Nothing.

Bet he was a good pitcher in his day.

What?

What do you want to do?

You want to catch a movie?

I don't know. What's playing?

I don't know.

Id like to see Gone with the Wind.

-Gone with the Wind?

-Yeah.

Gone with the Wind, you want to see?

I don't know, William.

Nothing from me rubs off on you.

I don't understand it.

From this moment on,

Hollywood stars will be recognized

as unparalleled fundraisers

and morale builders in time of war.

After the war, however,

Hollywood turns another face to the world.

In the '20s and '30s it becomes a lotus land

whose godlike inhabitants seem

sublimely above common concern.

And this is...

Oh, sh*t.

One f***ing time. Don't tell me.

Don't f***ing tell me!

One f***ing time

l leave the f***ing radio there.

One time. Son of a b*tch!

Son of a b*tch!

What?

Get out of the street.

-Son of a b*tch!

-Come on!

Come on. Get out of the street.

-Come on! Hey!

-Son of a b*tch!

Come on! Get the f*** out of the street!

Hey, what is it, what is it?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Get out of the street!

-Can't you see I gotta...

What are you going to do,

run me over, here?

Hey, hey!

Hey, get out of the car!

Can't you see I got a f***ing problem here?

They stole my radio!

Stupid son of a b*tch!

Jesus!

-Hi.

-Hey.

What are you guys doing?

Some lowlife scum stole my car radio.

-Oh, where?

-Right outside.

Yeah, they said there have been

six or seven stolen this past week.

That's epidemic proportions.

What is the gun

and the video camera all about?

Well, the police aren't going

to do anything about it.

They don't care.

This is a two-hour battery.

What are you guys supposed to be doing?

Im gonna catch the thief myself.

Video him.

This is a good idea.

Have you lost your mind?

Have you gone completely and totally nuts?

You know what it's like

to find your car violated, huh?
