The Rookie Page #4

Good night, Ray.

I know why

your grass isn't growing.

[ Crickets chirping ]

Usually get three or four

out here every night.

So I put the seed down,

they pick it up.

Once it comes in,

they don't like it as much.

That's why the football field

looks so good.

Yeah?

Maybe those football guys

are paying off these deer

with all the big budget money

they got.

[ Laughs ]

Hey!

Go on! Get out of here!

I thought deer

were supposed to be skittish.

[ Allison Moorer singing

"Tumbling Down" on stereo ]

Need me

to top that off?

Nothing like wine bought

with a Chevron credit card.

Well, I know what a demanding

consumer you can be.

Mmm. Yeah?

Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

I threw today.

To Joel...

after practice.

You threw?

I threw.

How hard?

Pretty hard.

Uh, don't worry.

If it starts to hurt,

l-I'll stop.

All right? Promise.

I gotta check on

the kids.

Joe David:
Wack, got

the muffler changed,

buddy -- the jeep.

Can't hear me coming three

miles away, can you, there?

Owls player:

Ray, check out the screwball!

Ladies loving the jeep.

Come on, man.

Give me the rock.

All right,

bring it in for some b.p.

We can't.

Rudy's not here.

-- Well, where is he?

-- Locker room.

Something to do

with only having one shoe.

Somebody grab a bat.

You're throwing

batting practice?

Yeah.

-- [ Laughter ]

-- I'm up first, man.

Wack:
I hit the Lotto!

Joe David:
Come on, Wack!

Send it, baby!

Send it!

What do you say, Wack?

[ Laughs ]

-- Whoo!

-- Yeah!

Looks like that one's

gonna land in another

time zone, coach!

You might want to reset your

watch before this next one.

You see that?

Yeah, it's...

Come on.

Joe David:
Yeah!

[ Laughs ]

[ lnhales deeply ]

-- [ Grunts ]

-- [ Air whooshes ]

What was that?

Man!

Wait till he warms up.

[ Laughs ]

[ Rudy and Joe David

laughing ]

Let me see

another one of those.

Nope. It's batting practice,

not pitching practice.

[ Chuckles ]

All right.

[ Laughing ] Oh, my God!

Cal:
I'm already down

two bits.

How many of them

job applications you plan on

sending out, Jimmy?

Many as it takes, I guess.

So the little boy

coming into my store to buy

socks after a dozen moves

is planning on making

a move of his own now?

Well, this is different.

[ Laughs ] It always is.

I hear you diagnosed

that problem with that

baseball field of yours.

You mean

his potential field.

Well, "diagnosed" part's right.

It's the "curing" part I'm

having trouble with.

I'll take five.

You know, I had the same

trouble out at my place

a few Springs back.

You did?

What'd you do?

Oh, hell.

Give me five, too.

Let me ask you something --

how many games

you got on that field

next couple of weeks?
