God, these are comfortable pants.

Congratulations. My feeling is, once you find comfortable pants, you should go

out and buy two dozen pairs. You're done.

Pants for life. Unless your ass becomes the size of Montana.

Oh, you got one of these? Who's that?

The basketball team reunion.

Yeah, I got that. You going, right?

I don't know. I got to check my schedule.

I don't know what this is about.

What? It's not about anything. I may have plans. I see.

What? Is that about the shot?

The shot?

I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, come on. The shot. Maybe a little

sense of the shot.

Really? I don't know what you're talking about.

Okay. Okay.

Man, we were so close to being state champs. I had 21 points in that game.

can't anyone ever seem to remember that?

Same reason no one remembers Bill Buckton went three for four before

that ball roll between his legs. Buckton went three for four?

I don't know. I'm just trying to make a point. Which is?

A goat is a goat is a goat is a goat.

Call me a goat?

I don't know.

Okay then.

Not Mr. Henry.

No, Mr. Henry, you can sue anyone for anything. It's just there's no way I can

prove that your neighbor deliberately bought an ugly dog just to upset you.

I'm sorry.

All right. Bye, Mr. Henry.

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the starting center and

forward for your Stuckyville Torador.

Cliff.

Truby. Power forward.

Hey.

Hey, Steve is looking at you, man. Yeah.

Good to see you. Look at me. Look at you. You guys have an age today.

Really? More like 15 years.

What are you doing, Clint? What are you doing? Giving you the Heimlich.

Last time I remember, you were on that foul line. Joking!

All right, get off me, you big, dumb coward.

Nice to see you again. What are you up to these days? Well, I'm a dermatologist

in South Carolina now. No kidding.

I make screen doors.

Really? Yeah, for a while, I made solid doors and screen doors. Now it's just

the screen doors.

I mean, once in a blue moon, I'll make a solid, but screen doors pay the bills.

What about you, Eddie? No, wait, I heard about this. You defend professional

bowlers if they get sued by the fans or something.

What? No, I'm just a regular lawyer who happens to own a bowling alley. Two

separate things. This is my law office inside my bowling alley. We really

go screen over here, Ed.

I mean, they're not just for the outside anymore.

Is that right?

Hey, Ed, you going by the Smiling Goat tonight, man?

Everybody's coming in.

Fitzy, Biggs, Kravitz, everybody.

I don't know if I can make that. Come on, man. How can we relive the glory of

losing a state championship without you being there? I got 21 points in that

game. I got Norwood.

Kicked a field goal and two extra points in the 91 Super Bowl before you know.

That was a Super Bowl.

This was a high school basketball game. Eddie, we're just kidding. Nobody cares

about a stupid foul shot from 15 years ago.

Come on, you gotta come.

Come on.

All right!

Woo! Hey,

oh, that's great.

See you later.

Kenny. Huh? Two o 'clock.

No, that's ten o 'clock, over two o 'clock. That's not ten o 'clock, it's

'clock. Twelve o 'clock is straight ahead.

Two o 'clock is over there. Look over at the snack counter.

Ten o 'clock?

I'd be happy to.

What am I looking at? Can't you see it? Love is in the air.

Where? Shirley and Jack, man. She's crazy about him. How can you tell?

Kenneth, it's my business to know about women.

and ties the game 61 -61, and he gets fouled. So he gets to shoot one foul

One shot, three seconds on the clock. If he makes it, Stuckyville High School

wins the state championship for the first time in 16 years.

Where was I for all of this? Probably some exclusive Supergirl party with the

exclusive Supercool.

Thanks, Mom. I really needed that. I love you. All right, guys, go on. So

Ed Stevens steps up to the foul line.

Who wants buffalo wings? The referee hands him the ball. Beer nuts?

Do not ring a bell, anybody.

He bounces it once, twice.

How about cheeseburgers all around? I'm buying. And then he shoots. Up in the

air, the ball goes. All of Stuckyville's dreams are floating inside that orange

sphere. Oh, man.

Oh, you're one silver -tongued dermatologist. Oh, yeah.

We all watch breathlessly as the ball feathers downward, as if it's in slow

motion. seam over seam rotating slowly leading to the cold steel of the rim

surrounding the welcoming oasis of net you can just make that up are you

me i've been telling this story for 15 years so then the ball comes down it

the back of the rim then the front of the rim see i wonder what's going to go

then the back of the rim again and it rolls around the rim like this around

around oh come on this is a true in roll around I've Hollywooded up the story a

bit. The ball falls out. Yes.

No, wait, wait, wait. It gets worse than that.

Worse? Yes.

The ball ends up in the hands of Rich Reed, this guy from Jasper Town. He

down the court, throws up a shot at the top of the key. It's a buzzer sound.

Swish. Right end. It's good. 63 -61.

Jasper Town wins.

Oh, my God.

And our little Ed Stevens here was forever branded a goat.

Oh, pretty.

What a story. I can't believe you never told me that.

It slipped my mind.

Hey, you know what we should do? What? We should challenge those Jasper Town

guys to a rematch. Yeah!

Just for fun.

Let's let it go already. I mean, what's the point? Come on, it'll be fun. Hey,

you know that Reed guy, don't you? Yeah, I've got some construction for him.

He's huge. I think he owns a shopping mall or something. I'll call him. All

right. Guys, this time we've got to win.

Yeah. Yes. Ed, stay away from the foul line.

Eddie.

Eddie.

Eddie.

Eddie. Eddie.

Eddie. Eddie. Eddie. Eddie.

Eddie. Eddie.

Chris Webber had 23 points before he called the timeout.

Attention,

the goat is now leaving the goat.

I repeat, the goat is now leaving the goat. Wait for that one on there.

Excuse me.

Tim. Molly.

Yeah, no, we're going to go.

I'm fine.

How are you?

Can I buy you a beer?

You know, I was sort of on my way out. Oh, come on, Molly.

One beer?

I haven't seen you in a long time.

Twelve teeny tiny ounces.

You know, malt, hops, yeast, a little bit of water.

Perhaps two row barley thrown into the mix.

Did you want a glass? No. Are you sure? This is fine.

Okay.

I really missed you.

I've missed you too.

Where are you headed?

School. School.

I'm a teacher, remember?

So I have to go to school because the kids need me to teach them

things at the school.

Bye now.

Molly?

Yes, Jim? Yeah, it's Saturday.

Saturday? There's no school on Saturday.

Today is Saturday.

That's true, isn't it?

Well, Molly, nothing's changed for me.

Six years ago, I made a mistake. I married the wrong girl.

I want to correct that.

Okay. You know what?

I'm just late. So I'm going to go outside and have

a donut.

Yep. Yep.

Donut time for Molly. Good then.

Shirley, walk with me. What do you want, Phil? I see you have a crush on Jack. I

don't have a crush on Jack. It's okay if you have a crush on Jack. But I don't

have a crush on Jack. Then why don't you talk to him? I'm just shy.

Shy because you have a crush on him? No, I'm just shy.

Then why doesn't he talk to you? Maybe he's just shy. Are you sure you don't

have a crush on Jack? If I did have a crush on Jack, why would I tell you

it? Because you trust me like a brother. I don't trust you like a brother. Sure

you do. No, I don't.

But if you did trust me like a brother, then you would tell me you had a crush

on Jack? If I had a crush on Jack, yes. But you don't. Phil. What?

Why are we walking like this?

I don't know. I thought on the West Wing it makes everything seem important.

Hey, Mr. Choker Artist.

Coming to lunch?

It's not Choker Artist. It's Choker Artist.

Sorry. I'm new to this whole guys ribbing each other thing. I like it,

It's fun.

Glad I could entertain you.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Oh, come on. That can't still be really bothering you, can it?

Ed, it was a stupid missed foul shot 15 years ago. Who cares?

It wasn't just a shot. It was a fork in the road.

What are you talking about?

Nothing. Forget it. It's not worth going in there.

No, come on. Tell me.

In this world, there's two kinds of people.

Haves and have -nots.

Haves are cool, confident.

Life's a party. They're the host. Have -nots, on the other hand, they live life

on the outside looking in. They're not invited to the party. And if by some

miracle, they get to go, they're always underdressed, overdressed.

Somebody accidentally spills coleslaw on their shirt.

What does this have to do with the missed foul shot?

Because that was the moment.

I was on the precipice of being a half. I made the varsity basketball team. That

was huge. When that ball didn't go through that hoop, my leg took a left

of a right. Are you trying to tell me that your entire life has been changed

one missed shot in a high school basketball game?

Yep. I mean, as crazy as it sounds, our experiences form us, right? And that

experience, it formed me. I think that if I made that shot, I'd end up on a

different path.

I'd be a different person today.

I don't think that's true.

Well, I guess we'll never know.

I also don't think you're a have -not.

Well, that, my dear sweet Carol Vessi, is because you have no idea what being a

have -not is. Come on.

Lunch is on me.

How you feeling?

Never felt better in my life.

You okay, buddy?

Yep. A few minutes. It's payback time.

There he is. The great Richard Reed.

How you doing? You guys remember this?

You remember this?

Yep. The man who stole my life.

Yeah, here he's dating some super babe Jill something. She's a model for Gear

Magazine.

He's coming this way. Why is he coming this way? I don't know.

Hey, guys.

Hey. I thought you might want to take a look at the trophy.

Stevens? Hey, Rich, how you doing?

I realize I never properly thanked you for this.

Yeah, well, you deserve it. You hit a great clutch out of the buzzer.

I did, didn't I?

Well, I thank you for making that possible. Would you like to touch it?

Oh, come on, touch it. We've had it for 15 years now. Why don't you guys take a

turn? But just for a couple of seconds, okay? I'm fine, thank you.

Okay, well, if you change your mind and you want to touch it, any of you.

It'll be right over there. All right? Good luck today.

You too.

So how many pairs of shoes did you end up with? Three. That was the best sale

I've been to at any shoe store ever. Because it wasn't just a sale. It was a

celebration. So true.

I actually found myself wishing I had more feet.

I slept with Jim.

Um, the night we ran into each other at the smiling goat.

You slept with him, slept with him?

Or you slept with him, slept with him?

Okay, just checking. I just want to make sure we're all on the same page. You

know, we're dealing with the same...

Info? What were you thinking?

I wasn't. It just kind of happened.

But he's a married man. We've talked about this.

I know.

I know.

Really?

He did say he loved me, just for the record. That's what all married men say.

It's true. Unless, of course, you're married to one of them, which means they

never speak to you. Except sometimes they burp. Okay, I am not an idiot. I

that millions of women get their hearts broken by the promises of married men.

But? But what if? Just...

What if this one particular married man is telling the truth and he wants to

leave his wife?

You specifically said you did not want to go down this road again. Here you

going down this road.

No, I'm not.

No, I'm not. I called him and I gave him an ultimatum. I said, you leave your

wife or I leave you road over one way or the other.

How else am I supposed to know for sure? Right?

Fine.

Fine.

Just one question. Was it...

Leave your wife or leave your wife now? Now, or I am gone forever.

All right, let's talk about shoes again. Look, those are cute.

Hey, you know this isn't important, right?

What? But it's a game. So much out -of -shape guys in their 30s trying to have

fun, you know what I mean?

Maybe for you it is. Just give me the ball.

Here we go.

One, two.

Good luck to you, Tim.

Yeah, yeah. Let's have some fun.

That's the answer.

That's the answer. That's the answer.

All right, let's get the mic. Let me set this. Nice.

The ball is in.

There you are.

You're running for your life.

You're a shooting star all the year.

No. one note just how hard you worked but now it's

true in one shining moment it's all a lie

one shining moment you knew you were alive

Hi, Sarah, you want to try some fried clams?

How old used to be to try fried clams?

16.

Whoa. I think Mr. One.

Yeah, looks like Eddie was the hero.

Put me down. I can walk.

So tell us all about it. Well, I think the reason we won today was Ed. Yeah, we

saw that. The way you guys were carrying him in and everything.

What? Ed pulled his hamstring five seconds into the game. He didn't play.

If only that had happened 15 years ago, we would have been state champs.

Breathing in.

Breathing out.

Relaxing. Very good.

Very nice.

What's going on?

Shirley has finally admitted to me that she has a crush on Jack.

Huh? Is this true?

Yes. I'm a woman. I have needs. May I continue?

Breathing in, breathing out.

Very good.

Very nice.

I'm now going to give you a post -hypnotic suggestion.

Whenever you hear me say the word lumberjack... No, wait, that's no good.

Whenever you hear me say the word dustbuster... No, wait, Sanskrit.

Yeah, no.

Actually, let's go with applesauce. Whenever you hear me say the word...

Applesauce. You will become poised and self -confident. You will have the

courage to speak freely to Jack without shyness. Let's test our word.

Right now, when I say the word applesauce, I would like you to cluck

chicken. And applesauce.

Phil, I'm not hypnotized. Yes, you are.

Boy, for lunch yesterday, I had some delicious applesauce. I'm wide awake. It

didn't work.

Applesauce. I'm leaving.

Oh, my God.

You're hypnotized, aren't you? You were watching the whole thing and became

inadvertently hypnotized.

No, I'm not hypnotized. Yes, you are. You're inadvertently hypnotized.

Appletoss!

I am tired of working with amateurs.

Shirley, Shirley.

On my way to work, at least five people stopped me today and asked me about

missing a foul shot 15 years ago in a high school basketball game. Do you have

any idea why suddenly everybody knows about this?

Do what?

I said... I know, Chief.

What? Kenny, for the love of God, what is going on? I feel like I've gone back

in time.

You may want to take a look at this morning's Stuckyville Progress, page

And page four.

And I believe it prickles on over to page five.

Oh. My.

God.

Hey, you seen the paper today?

Don't start, Mike. I can't take it anymore. What's the matter? This is

stuff. The heck with the foul shot.

What are you thinking with this chance?

One stupid file shot. Still haunting me. Fifteen years later.

Hey, I know what we can do. I'll get my tools, and we'll build a time machine,

then we can go back in time and set things straight.

What?

That's a great idea.

Going back in time? You can't go back in time. Why not?

Because if you alter history, you end up creating a parallel universe where

everyone has nine heads and only speaks Dutch.

I'll take my chances. Shirley!

Shirley! There she is. Shirley, I want you to find Richard Reed and tell him I

need to see him immediately.

Right on.

What are you doing?

I'm getting myself a do -over.

Excuse me, choke artist.

Richard Reed of the Jasper Town Lights is here to see you. Oh, good. Thank you,

Shirley. And for the record, I prefer not to be called choke artist.

I'm sorry. I thought that was your sports nickname.

Like the way Jack Nicklaus is the golden bear, or Joe Namath is Broadway Joe, or

Reginald Jackson is Reggie Jackson.

Send him in.

Oh,

hey.

Great looking place you got here. Really cute.

Thanks, thanks. Is that your girlfriend?

No, we just met. Do you actually work out of this bowling alley, like, every

day?

Yes, I do. I love that.

So what's this big proposal that you couldn't tell me about over the phone?

Well, Rich.

Yeah, just let me stop right there. I've got to be up front with you, Ed.

My company's not hiring at the moment. Actually, Rich, I don't want a job. No?

Sorry, I've just been getting a lot of that lately. So, what's up?

Okay, well, I have a very exciting idea. Very exciting. You ready? Okay.

Okay, here it goes.

I want you guys to give me a do -over.

A do -over?

Yes, on the foul shot I missed at the state championship.

What?

It'll be great. It'll be great. We'll pack the gym with people just like it

15 years ago. I'll retake my shot.

Okay, you've got to be kidding me. And just to spice things up, if I hit it,

when I hit it, if I hit it, then you guys give me the trophy.

Okay, forgive me, Ed, but...

Why would we want to do that?

For the thrill of competition.

And the joy of revisiting the past. The thrill and the joy.

You still haven't gotten over that foul shot, have you? Of course I have.

Put it behind you.

All right. Can you do that for me?

I gotta go.

Wait, Rich.

Look, that game... The truth is, that game was a big turning point in my life.

And in yours. It was a fork in the road. I took one path, you took... I mean,

look at you. You're strong. You're confident. Ho, ho, ho, ho. Ho, let me

you right there.

Rich, don't swing that way.

You think I'm going to hunt you? It'd almost be better if you were. At least

that would make sense.

You take it easy now, choke artist.

5 ,000 bucks.

What? Look, Rich, give me the do -over. If I make the shot, Stuckyville gets a

trophy. If I miss, then I'll give you and your teammates 5 ,000 bucks.

I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable taking advantage of the mentally ill. Oh, come

on. Go for it. Take advantage.

All right. All right, I guess. Great.

Saturday night, I'll set the whole thing up. All you guys got to do is be there.

Oh, we'll be there.

For 5 ,000 bucks, we will be there.

Hey.

Hi.

So, how'd it go?

Did you tell her?

You told her, right?

You didn't tell her?

Not yet.

Jim. I'm sorry. You know, I wanted to do it. I just couldn't find the right

moment. Jim, there is no right moment.

I mean, what do you think? You're going to be sitting on a couch at home

watching Baby Bob and your wife will turn to you during a commercial break

say, my, oh, my, them talking babies is hilarious.

So, honey, do you have any interest in leaving me for another woman?

I'm going to do it, Molly. Honest to God.

I really wish I had my married guy cliche checklist.

That honest to God, that could earn me like 300 points.

Please, Molly, you know, I'm doing my best, okay? I know it's hard.

I just need you to trust me a little on this one, okay?

Christina's coming to town this afternoon.

She's coming here?

Yeah, she's going to visit her aunt, and I'm going to tell her tomorrow night.

I promise you that.

Tomorrow night. Tomorrow night, no matter what.

Okay.

Okay, I will meet you right here this Sunday at noon.

And if you haven't told her, that is it.

We are over for good, no matter what.

You won't have to worry about that.

So how would you feel about maybe going back to your place and getting a beer?

Hmm.

A beer. Well, or a soda, you know, or some steak, whatever you want.

Okay.

You're all set. Thank you very much.

Uh, Irv Nadler?

Yes, welcome to the Hi -Fi. How may Irv help you?

You probably don't remember me. I used to play basketball for Stuckyville High.

I used to referee our games.

My name's Ed Stephens. Good to see you. Do you remember me?

No. Listen, Irv, I was wondering, do you still ref at all?

Me? Nah.

Gave it up years ago.

Why's that? Why?

Some 14 -year -old kid didn't like one of my calls, so he found me after the

game, and he beat me with a sack of gym shoes.

Right. Look, Irv, the reason I'm here, I'm getting myself a do -over on a foul

shot that I missed at the state championship, and I want to recreate

down to the tiniest detail for this do -over, so what I'm doing is I'm getting

the players, I'm getting the crowd, I'm getting the mascots, and Irv, I'd really

like you to be there.

Are you a fan of action movies?

Yeah?

Here's what you do.

Move up this baby up to your DVD surround sound, put it on your favorite

and everything that happens on screen...

you're going to feel it right in your ass. My ass? Uh -huh. List price, $299

.95, but for you, $250.

Well, Irv, to be honest, I really don't feel like buying anything today.

Ed, to be honest, I really don't want to referee a little foul shot.

Yeah, okay, I'll take it.

You got yourself a ref.

Testing 1 -2 -1 -2, sibilance, sibilance, check, check it. Can you hear

Roger that.

Here he comes.

Okay. Shirley, just repeat everything I say and you will find yourself with a

spanking new boyfriend courtesy of Fiona de Stubziak. But what if the signal

cuts out and I'm left on my own? I won't know what to do.

Don't worry. Ain't gonna happen.

But what if there is interference from a radio broadcast and I hear the

commercial from the Olive Garden and I start talking about shrimp scampi?

Shirley, listen to me. Nothing can possibly go wrong with this equipment,

I bought it on eBay.

Now go.

This piece of junk better work.

It'll work, alright?

Watch this.

Yo, yo, yo, what's up, what's up?

Molly. Not breaking your rhythm, am I? No, I'm in a state of pure

I wouldn't be distracted if President Bush marched in playing the French horn.

How about Nixon with a sousaphone?

That might get my attention. What brings you here?

Well, everyone seems to think you've gone completely insane.

Do you?

How can I put this?

Yes,

I think you've gone completely insane. Don't do this, Ed. I know, I know, I

know. Making that shot wouldn't have turned me into Rich Reed.

No, actually, I think it probably would have.

You do? Yeah, I mean, championship, that's the stuff that rich reads are

of. So you agree with me?

Well, I agree with you, except for one thing.

You don't want to be rich read.

Why not?

How about the blindingly obvious fact that the guy's an ass?

No, no, too easy. I beat you there, sister. Here's the thing. Yeah, rich

an ass. Rich read is just one guy. Confidence and success don't necessarily

you an ass.

Well, it sure helps. Listen, people like rich read who get whatever they want,

they move on a little bit. Like what? Like a sense of humor.

Like empathy, like depth.

So goes the argument. But when you get right down to it, who is more fun? The

deep losers or the shallow winners?

Fun isn't everything.

So I hear you have a big meeting Sunday at noon.

What, are you changing the subject on me? No, no, not at all. Question.

Winning is so bad and losing is so terrific. What are you hoping Jim will

you when you meet with him on Sunday?

Touche.

I'm hoping he'll have told his wife about me.

I thought so.

You think he's gonna?

Absolutely. I'm not so sure. Come on, Molly. The guy loves you.

He's going to tell her.

All right.

You miss this next shot.

He's going to tell her. If you make it, he's not going to tell her.

Molly. Come on. Go ahead.

All right.

Go ahead.

He's going to tell her.

I probably did that on purpose.

You never said I couldn't.

Good night, RuPaul.

Good night.

I liked it.

Did you hear? They're having another one of those celebrity boxing tournaments.

No, who's boxing now?

RuPaul and the guy who played Squiggy.

America ruled! I mean, where else could you... Molly?

What?

Come on, let's get out of here.

I really wish I hadn't seen that.

Is she okay?

Well, you know, Mal, it's tough on the outside, tender on the inside.

Right.

Speaking of tough... Phil!

Phil! Phil, you served me the plastic display pie again. Not now, Bosco. I'm

the middle of something.

No, but it...

Okay, Jack's on his way in. You guys ready? I don't know what to do.

Shirley, you take the ball bearing, you put it into the bowling shoe, it hits

the thingamajig, rolls down the vacuum tube, knocks into the hoosie watsit,

causing the golf ball to spin the plunger, causing the sign to pop up.

This ain't gonna work.

Here he is.

Oh, Jack!

You two stay here.

Jack, you have a woman in your life?

Can't say that I do.

Why's that?

I don't know.

I guess I'm kind of shy.

I like shy people.

They spend more time thinking and less time playing grab ass.

Shirley, she's shy too.

You should talk to her sometime.

Yeah? Yeah.

I think she'd like that.

So what's going on?

I thought I had till tomorrow, right?

So you haven't told her yet?

No. No, I mean, we planned this out.

I was going to do it tonight, remember?

No, you're not.

What are you talking about?

You're not going to tell her.

Why not?

Because I don't want you to.

What?

I saw you and Christina walking on the street yesterday, and I realized that as

much as I want you to leave her, I can't ask you to do that.

Okay.

Molly, I'm really confused right now.

I don't want to break up your marriage.

My marriage is already over.

Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't.

That is something for the two of you to figure out. I don't want to be a factor

in that decision.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that I can't see you anymore.

You're breaking up with me?

Bye, Jim.

Lily, come on.

You're serious?

That's it?

Good luck.

Bye.

Hi? Molly Hudson?

Yes?

Do you have a Gorillagram?

Oh, my God.

Molly, Jim is a special guy. I said, Molly, you left him high and dry.

You must feel like you're going to cry.

You should not be unhappy.

Because I'm telling you, Jim has a wife. Oh, yeah, you know.

Jim has a wife. Well, you did the right thing.

That's what I'm here to say. You got to get on with your life.

Ta -da!

Oh, gosh.

Okay. Who sent you? It had to be Carol Pesci. No, no, no, no.

No. Actually, it had to be Ed Stevens.

You are correct, madame.

Ed, I can't believe you.

Come here.

Wait a minute.

Shouldn't you be at the gym taking your big foul shot?

I got a little time. I figured you could use some sharing up.

You figured right.

Come on. Have a seat.

De -gorilla -ize yourself.

Don't mind if I do.

How are you doing tonight?

Itchy.

How cute was that?

I'd give it a seven.

Cuter than a chimp wearing overalls. A bit less cute than a tiny hobo mouse

his belongings tied to a stick.

How you feeling?

Not having a whole lot of fun.

You're the one who said fun isn't everything, right?

That I did.

See, these are the exact times make me resent people like Rich Reed. They have

life handed them on a platter. Doesn't that make you mad?

Ed, I feel particularly crummy right now, so it makes it tough to say what

about to say with a whole lot of conviction.

You know how when they cut open a tree, you can see all the rings?

Yeah. And depending on how far apart the rings are, how you can tell how some of

the years for the tree were great and some just...

Yes. And those rings, the good ones and the bad ones, they just make the tree

the tree.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, but see, their trees have all good rings. The rich regions of the world,

their trees have all good rings. That's why they never experience what you're

going through right now. True.

That's why they never experience what it's like to miss the game -winning foul

shot, because they would never miss the game -winning foul shot.

And because they would never experience those things, they also wouldn't know

what it's like to dress up as a gorilla just to cheer someone up.

You can't trade in the bad rings, Ed, else the tree's not the tree.

Come on.

Let's go to the gym.

Yeah. Um, how'd you like my tree analogy?

Solid gold. Yeah, I thought so.

Hey, I'm starving. You know if they got an Applebee's around here?

Here he is now, Ted Stevens, trying to reverse history, trying to erase a

mistake that has haunted him since 1987.

One shot for the trophy that should have been his 15 years ago.

One shot.

You better know what you're talking about.
