The Caddy Page #5

Synopsis: The origin of Anthony and Miller, a wildly successful comedy team, can be traced back several years to Harvey Miller's stage fright on the golf links. Although the son of a skilled golfer and an outstanding player in his one right, Miller is too nervous to golf in front of a gallery. He becomes coach and caddy for Joe Anthony, his girlfriend's brother, who must convince his fisherman father that hitting a little ball into a hole can be more lucrative than trawling the Pacific Ocean. While on the PGA tour, their natural comedic abilities are recognized by a shrewd agent who senses their talent and potential, and a new comedy team is born.

Hey.

This is my room.

You're in my bed.

Excuse me.

Hey!

See you tonight, Lisa.

Ma! Pop!

Ma! Pop! Lisa!

Joe! Hey, Mama!

Joe!

Joe, it's wonderful you're back.

You know,

there's somebody in this house.

- You wait, I get my harpoon gun.

- Come on, let's...

- I found him in my bed. He looks nutty.

- Oh, no, Joe.

I don't know who he is.

That's it.

- That's Harvey.

- That's Harvey.

Harvey?

You're away from home

so we rent him your room, Joe.

- Yes. He's nice boy.

- Sure, he's a nice boy.

Come on, we fix Joe something to eat.

Yes, yes.

Harvey.

- Oh, I've seen this before.

- Goodnight, Harvey.

Not me.

Goodnight, Lisa.

Lisa, what is that?

Better get used to him, Joe.

He's going to be your brother-in-law.

That's nice.

My brother-in-law?

You want some coffee?

- Real hot coffee?

- Warm him up.

- Who makes better coffee than Mama?

- Not nobody.

- Papa sometimes.

- Here you are, all finish.

It's just like new.

Here, you, you try it on?

- There we go.

- Look good, Mama.

- How's it look, Pop?

- Very good.

- Good?

- Nice, nice.

Oh, Mama,

she's good to have Joe back?

Now, you're home, Joe,

we're gonna throw all these tables out.

Pop, here's $5. Buy yourself a new pipe.

Oh, Joe.

But, Mama, you could buy a new dress?

Hey, by the way, Pop,

what does Harvey do for a living?

Oh, he's a good boy.

He's no working now.

See?

Let's try it.

Now, take the club back slow and easy.

You should keep your head down, Lisa.

Now swing straight out

and follow through.

Will you please keep your head down?

Let me show you, Lisa.

You stand over there.

$10,000!

Hey.

What's going on here?

What're you doing?

Harvey's going to be a golf instructor.

I'm his first pupil.

Oh, Harvey, this is my brother, Joe.

- Oh, hello, Joe.

- Hi, Harvey.

- Hey, you're pretty good.

- Oh, thanks.

- He's wonderful.

- Yeah, but why teach?

Why don't you play?

You ever read the sports sections?

You can make a lot of money

in those tournaments.

- Tournaments, tournaments.

- Tournaments.

No, I can't play in front of people.

Oh, no, people make him very nervous.

He's high-strung.

Yes, I'm strung very high.

Well, you won all those trophies,

didn't you?

Oh, no, those are my father's.

Harvey Miller, Sr.

He was a great golfer.

- Are these your father's?

- No. Those are my baby shoes.

- Oh, you won these?

- No, I wore them.

- You wore them?

- Yeah, I never won anything.

- I tighten up.

- Oh, Harvey, you shouldn't tighten up.

You got to relax.

- Don't be jerky.

- I can't help it.

Wow.

Wow!

Joe, you're good, too.

You think I spend all my time

in poolrooms?

You're a natural, just like my Dad.
