And look at that house! You know, it makes

me real sick to look at a house like that.

- [Chuckles] Why?

- Why?

'Cause I could've had a house like that.

Easiest thing in the world.

Only mine would've had a tower on it

with my chicken farm...

- if it wasn't for that big baboon.

- What baboon?

- He come in here today.

- He means St. Louis.

And you shut up about him.

He's the greatest ballplayer you ever saw.

Oh, how that guy can pitch.

Well, ballplayer or no ballplayer,

he'd better stay out of my way...

'cause if I ever lay my hands on that guy,

I'll croak him.

I never know how

they're gonna turn out.

- [Punch Lands]

- [Groans]

You're a fine guy, you are.

Leave me flat in the middle of the road.

- You callin' me a double-crosser?

- Yeah!

- You think I'd double-cross a pal?

- Didn't you?

- I thought there was a rumble seat.

- There was no rumble seat!

- That kind of car don't have a rumble seat.

- Keep quiet!

- You're not gonna let-

- All right, maybe there was

a rumble seat on the car.

- Look out for his arm, will you?

- That's the way, boys. Don't fight.

- Don't let 'em fight, Pop.

- I won't let 'em.

- Steve's my name.

- How are you? Glad to know you, kid.

Glad to know you too.

What do you say we turn in, boys?

- I think you're up there.

- Me?

[No Audible Dialogue]

Say, you wouldn't let a pitcher

climb way up there, would you?

- He might strain his arm.

- I've gotta throw too, ain't I?

You throw higher than him.

You have to throw way down to second base.

I ain't gonna let that guy

put anything else over on me.

- I'm gettin' smart!

- What do you mean, put something over on you?

- Wait a minute.

- [Voices Overlapping]

- Wait a minute.

- I'm not dumb.

I'm settlin' this thing without any fighting.

Think of a number from one to 10.

- One to 10?

- Yeah.

- Seven.

- That's it. You sleep in the lower one.

- Get on up there.

- That's fair enough, ain't it?

Long as I lost on the level, it's okay.

[Bell Rings]

- ? [Man Singing]

- ? [Guitar Strumming]

Say, on second thought, I remember.

- There was a rumble seat on that car, all right.

- [Pop] Oh, shut up!

? [Continues]

[Sobbing]

Knock it off, Freda.

Try and get some sleep.

[Sobbing Continues]

? [Ends]

[Guards]

All out!

Attention.

Forward. March!

- [Chattering]

- Well, how are you today, Genesis?

- How is y'all, Mrs. Massey?

- [No Audible Dialogue]

Well, Judy, quite an honor it seems to me to

be selected to instruct the warden's daughter.

Of course, it's quite

against my better judgment...

but, uh, I hope it'll turn out all right.

Thank you, Mrs. Massey.
