The Sandlot: Heading Home Page #4

---

I guess I'm strong enough

for the chemo again.

Mmm. Then maybe we should

pick up on the treatments...

where you left off before the move.

That'd be fine, Doctor.

Now, if he starts acting up again...

I'd show him some pictures

of family and friends...

just to bring him back

to reality, as it were.

Maybe that's what he's fighting.

Reality.

That was surreal.

I don't know about you, Mom,

but I could sure use a drink.

We could go get a soda.

And this is your Uncle Henry.

Uncle Henry. You remember

your Uncle Henry, don't you, sweetheart?

Mmm, sure.

I remember Uncle Henry.

Cheap son of a...

Who is this again?

That's you.

And that's you at the lake.

Oh. And there's you at Big Bear.

And this is that day

last summer, you remember...

when we went to that music festival

with your Cousin Jimmy?

Oh, right. Shame what happened

to him though.

What happened to him?

Did Margie call with some bad news?

No. When Jimmy's band

broke up in the early '90s...

he got himself a job

at home Depot in Calabasas.

What's home Depot?

Last I heard, he was

assistant manager in hardware.

[Chuckles] Divorced,

up to his neck in alimony payments.

- What?

- Little Jimmys in the fourth grade...

and got all straight A's

this past year, Tommy.

- Who's this again?

- [Doorbell Rings]

- [Kids Chattering]

- I'll get that.

- Guys, stop pushing.

- What's your problem?

- Shut up.

- Guys, guys.

Tommy, some boys

are here for you.

- Get your hand off me.

- Good job.

Shut up.

- Hey, I'm D.P. This is Wings...

- Timber and Two Ton.

Yeah, I remember you guys.

It's all comin' back to me.

- Like it was yesterday.

- It was yesterday.

Anyway, we just wanted

to see how you were feeling.

Yeah. Lucky it wasn't your eyeball.

[Slurps, Pops]

Well, I'm fine now. Thanks for

stopping by, kids. See ya around.

What's with this

constant "kid" crap?

I'm really glad you're not

gonna be playing on our team.

- What team?

- Our team. We play on the sandlot.

- [Whispering] The sandlot.

- [Wings] Yeah, sandlot.

- Needs another player.

- And only because the best

ballplayer in the history...

of sandlot is back,

puttin' on a clinic.

Who said anything about me

putting on a clinic?

- You?

- I'm talkin' about Benny.

- The Jet.

- Rodriguez.

- [Chucking] That bum?

- Bum?

He's got the best batting average

on the Dodgers this year.

Wait. He's here too?

- Benny's amazing, man.

- The best.

Please. Benny only got as far

as he did because he can run.

Then his knee tanked him.

He retired and became a coach.

- What's he talking about?

- [Sara] You should go with them, honey.

- Fresh air'll do you some good.

- But, Mom...

No buts. Get out. I'm serious.
