[ Children Shouting|in Baseball Game ]

O.K., Josh, let's go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!|Go! Go! Go! Go!

Take two!|Go! Go! Go! Go!

Hi.

You're overdressed, Bruce.

Two, four, six, eight,

who do we appreciate?

Eagles!

Eagles!

Yay, Eagles!

O.K., yeah!

Nice game, guys.

Let's get that equipment in|and head on out!

Good game, fellas.

Come on, Josh.

His chess ideas are like|pieces of his body

he's reluctant|to give up.

For instance, he simply can't cope|with being told

not to bring his queen out|too early in the game.

Why shouldn't he?

He's won many a game|in Washington Square doing exactly that.

Why is this|suddenly wrong?

Try getting him to brush his teeth|sometime.

What I'm trying to teach him|and what he's learning there

are two very|different things.

Park hustlers play|tactics, not position.

They rely on wild,|unpredictable moves

meant to intimidate|their opponents.

Great in a two-minute|speed game for drug money,

but it'll cost Josh|dearly in real games.

Well, he's learning|some new words.

Could you keep him from playing there|so much?

Sure.

No.

Not playing in the park|would kill him. He loves it.

Just makes my job harder.

Then your job's harder.

What are you|talking about?

We're already packed.|We're, like, out the door.

Make sure his laces are tied|if there's escalators.

I don't know why|I O.K.'d this anyway.

Well, you didn't.|He wants to do this.

I should've|dissuaded him.

I grew up playing|in tournaments.

They have nothing to do|with what's important.

They're about all|winning and losing. So?

It's not chess.

Ah. Chess is art.

That's right.

No. Chess is you appreciating|the beauty of Josh's play

at 60 bucks an hour.

Will you be ready to go|in 30 minutes or not?

He's not coming.

May I talk to him?

Hold on.

Josh!

I don't...

Telephone.

Hi.

Josh, how are you doing?|You excited?

Yeah.

Listen, I can't make it.

I've got some things|I have to take care of.

Hmm.

That's O.K.

I'll be thinking of you.

You'll do great, I know it.

And I'll see you|when you get back.

O.K.

Bye.

O.K. bye. Don't bring|your queen out too soon--

[Jazzy Version of|Heart and Soul Plays ]

This is great.

Which one's yours?

Over there by the steps.

Oh. That--|that one's mine.

All right, yeah.|What?

Looks like they're friends|already.

Uh, what's his rating?

Yeah.

How old is he?

Well, I doubt that they'll be playing|each other then.

Morgan's not rated|1 ,000 yet.

Oh.

Questions during|the course of the game,

raise your hand.

He was cheating. He tried to castle|when I had him checked.

O.K., I want to remind you|to conduct yourselves

Like adults.

I don't want any trouble.

And you know exactly|what I'm talking about.
