- How are we gonna see each other again?

- We aren't.

- I thought we loved it.

- Don't worry. You'll recover.

You probably hit on 30 girls a day. I'm sure

at least one says yes, so by tomorrow...

Did you say one for 30? One for 30? A

leprous warthog does better than one for 30.

A warthog doesn't come on 30 times a day.

- Why do you think I do?

- Instinct.

- Where are you going?

- Work. Walking distance.

- What's your last name? Can you tell me?

- I can, but I'm not going to.

Were you faking it?

No, I had a lovely time. Thank you very much.

Hey! Randy!

Randy.

- If he doesn't cooperate, it'll get much worse.

- I have to go.

Let go of me! I'll get your money, OK?

- What do you want to see first?

- The dinosaurs. They're extinct.

- Why should we see them?

- Maybe they won't be here next time.

- Sidney, are the cheques ready yet?

- Not till tonight.

- Are you sure?

- Would I lie to you about a cheque?

Thanks.

Hi, can you hold these for me till later?

Hi, I'm Randy Jensen, and I'm your guide.

We can start in the dinosaur hall. Follow me.

Excuse me. I'd like to make an appointment

for a group tour. Can that be arranged?

Anything can be arranged, within reason.

- May I request a particular guide?

- Sure. Who'd you have in mind?

- Randy Jensen?

- Jensen?

The lady you were looking at,

with the red hair?

How's two o'clock this afternoon?

- No batter!

- Batter, batter, batter!

Yeah! Beauty!

- Great hit, Richie.

- Great pitch. You put it right where I like it.

Angie, keep your eye on the ball.

OK, no batter, no batter.

Automatic out. No batter.

- Why didn't you swing?

- You said to keep my eye on it.

- Yeah, then you gotta swing, OK?

- Stupid dumbo! Stupid dumbo!

Charlie.

- I'm sorry.

- Don't be sorry to me.

- I'm sorry, Angie.

- It's OK, Charlie.

OK, Angie, watch the ball.

Focus your attention.

That's all you guys have to do -

baseball, math, book reports,

just focus your energy,

concentrate on one object.

All right? Ready?

Yeah! See, you just zero in and do it.

All right, hustle up.

OK, that's it for baseball, gang.

Everyone gather round. I got a big surprise.

You guys have been after me

to go to the Museum of Natural History.

I won't tell you unless you be quiet.

Quiet.

Good afternoon, Ms. Jensen. May I ask you

a question? Did anyone ever tell you...

That I have the face of a Botticelli?

Some guy used that on me this morning.

OK, everybody, follow me.

- What did you think?

- You could take him or leave him.

- What would you do?

- Probably take him and leave him.

- You sound cold.

- You have to be with guys like that.

- Like what?

- Cruisers, collectors, pick-up artists.
