But it's just so unfair.

Honey, I know how you feel, but that's
life. These things happen sometimes.

I'm sure this wasn't easy for you to do,
Miss Claremont. It was very nice of you

to take the time to come and tell us
personally.

Yeah, thanks for coming over personally
to break Kimberly's heart.

Oh, I'm really sorry.

I want to take Kimberly, but the budget
only allows for three girls.

Miss Claremont, I have a thought.

We were planning to be in Paris with
Kimberly anyway.

As long as she's there, why couldn't she
model for you at no cost to you?

What do you say, Miss Claremont?

I think that's a wonderful idea.

Well, I don't.

I'm not going to Paris.

Say what?

I got this job on my own, and I want to
succeed on my own. I don't want you

buying my way, Daddy.

I'm not going to Paris, no matter how
miserable it makes me.

She's not only miserable, she's
delirious.

Honey, why don't you think about it?

I don't have to think about it, Daddy.

If I let you pay my way, I'll never be
my own person.

I'll always be Philip Drummond's
daughter.

Look, Miss Claremont, I've still got my
job at the store, and I can model on

Fridays, can't I?

You certainly can.

And next year when we go to Europe, I'll
make sure that you go with us.

You've got a terrific daughter here, Mr.
Drummond.

Well, the fruit doesn't fall far from
the tree.

I guess that makes you a lemon, Willis.

Bye, boys.

Bye -bye, Mr. Bell. Thanks for coming.
Bye -bye, Mr. Bell.

Honey, you made me so proud of you.

Oh, thanks, Daddy.

And guys, I guess I've been a little
hard to live with this past week.

No, no, you haven't.

Yes, she has.

I guess I just got carried away.

And I'm sorry you won't be getting that
trip to Paris.

No big deal.

Why don't we all go and have some
dinner? And maybe we can get Adelaide to

us a French dish that I know you'd all
enjoy.

What's that, Dad?

The French fries with the ketchup.

Followed by... Artburn.

Just one drum. What might be right for
you?

May not be right for some. A man is
born.

He's a better being.

Then along come two.

They have nothing but the genes.

But they got different strokes of
things.

Different strokes of things. Different
strokes of the world. It really does

different strokes.

May not be right for some, a man is
born, he's a man of means.

Then along come two, they got nothing
but the genes, but they got different

strokes of dicks, different strokes of
dicks, different strokes to move the

world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story.

Everybody finds a way to shine.

It don't matter that you got...

We did it! We did it!

We won!

Willis pitched a no -hitter! We won!
Fantastic!

That's great!

We'll be in the city playoffs next
Saturday.

Yeah, the Brewers never made it to the
playoffs before.

Oh, that's because they've never had a
Willis Jackson pitching for them before.

Or an Arnold Jackson sitting in a stand.

Okay, Kimberly.

Willis moved him down like a submachine
gun.

Oh,

Arnold, stay out of it. Come on. Yeah,
let Willis tell it. Okay, Kimberly.

They couldn't touch his basket.

And in the ninth inning, the last
basket.

Okay, so anyway.

He took out the last eight baskets.

He also drove in the winning run.

Willis, you tell a great story.

Yeah, once I get warmed up.

Well, congratulations, Willis. Thanks.

Oh, is this the Jackson residence?

Yeah, it's also the Drummond residence.

Well, I'm looking for Willis Jackson.

I'm his father. Oh, but the Willis
Jackson I'm looking for is black.

I'm still his father.

Oh. Oh, I get it.

I think.

I'm Ed Stock, but I coach high school
baseball.

Bill Drummond.

Come on in. Thanks.

What can we do for you, Mr. Stockwood?
Well, I was at the game today and I just

wanted to congratulate your son. He was
terrific.

Thanks. I never could have done it
without Willis.

That is my other son, Arnold. Hi. This
is my daughter, Kimberly.

Hi. How do you do?

Well, I gotta get going to the library.
I won't be late, Daddy. Okay.

Nice meeting you, Mr. Stockwood. Same
here. Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

Kid, that was one great game you threw
today. That's some arm you got. Thanks.

I don't know. I played Major League
Baseball myself.

You played Major League Ball?

Oh, sure.

Ed Stockwood, the guy that stole home in
the World Series.

That's right, but that was a long time
ago.

But old ball players never die. They
just end up coaching high school ball.

That's why I set the game today.

Got to keep an eye on the new talent
like Willis here. Yeah, that's him.

Mr. Talent.

Willis, you're a natural.

You're the kind of a player that a coach
just loves to get his hands on.

And the kind of player the girls love to
get their hands on, too.

I don't know about that, Arnold.

Well, maybe a few of them get out of
control.

You know, Willis, I'd really like to
have you on my team next year when you

graduate junior high.

Hey, thanks, coach.

I really want to play ball for Garfield
High.

Garfield?

Oh, didn't I mention it? I coach at
Fillmore High, not Garfield.

Are you suggesting that Willis go to
Fillmore High?

Hey, you hear that, Arnold? They want me
to play ball at Fillmore. Hey,

that's...

What's so great about Fillmore?

They were only city champs five times.

Six? But who's counting?

Well, we're delighted that you want
Willis to go to your school, but I'm

surprised.

I thought all the kids in this area had
to go to Garfield.

I didn't think we had any choice in the
matter.

Oh, sure you do. It's done all the time.
Really?

Don't worry about it, Mr. Drummond. I'll
take care of everything.

Just leave the whole thing to me.

See? By the way, where is Fillmore
exactly?

It's in Queens, near Shea Stadium.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, Dad, it's just a hop, skip, and a
jump.

Yeah, but look, that's 45 minutes on the
subway.

I mean, that means you've got to get up
earlier, you've got to come home later.

And then what about meals and homework?

Can you handle that?

Yeah, Dad.

I'll have breakfast between the hop and
the skip, and I'll do my homework just

before the jump.

Mr. Drummond, we have the best athletic
program in the country.

Then you deserve the best athletes.

Yeah, the best athletes. Or some of our
players go right from high school into

the majors.

Yeah, the majors!

And I make sure that all our players get
good grades.

I knew there was a catch.

I can do it, Dad.

I promise you my school won't suffer.

Come on, what do you think?

Well, we'll have to think about it. I'll
get in touch with you very soon, okay?

Please do that. A kid as loaded with
talent as Willis should have the best

opportunity to develop it.

He could have a great career ahead of
him. And we could be a big help.

I'll keep that in mind.

We really appreciate your stopping by,
coach. My pleasure. Okay.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I'm taking some of the players to the
Mets game on Sunday. Going to introduce

them to some of my buddies on the team.
You want to come?

What time and where?

Arnold, he was talking to me.

Yeah, but I was listening for me.

If there aren't enough seats, I don't
mind sitting in the dugout.

Well, I think we can find room for one
more.

Take very good care of that golden arm,
Willis. That's your ticket to the big

leagues. I'll be seeing you.

We'll keep in touch. Oh, sure we will.
Thanks.

Well, Dad, what do you say?

Give me some time to think.

Okay, take as long as you want.

Take 30 seconds.

Not long.

Willis, I'm only concerned about your
schoolwork.

Oh, it won't suffer, Dad.

I promised, didn't I?

Yes, you did.

Okay, we'll get in touch with Coach
Stockwood, and we'll tell him we'll do

All right, Dad.

Thanks. All right, man. I got to phone
the guys.

it, champ.

You don't want to hurt that golden arm.

Better let my fingers do the dying.

Who am I calling?

Easy, Arnold. Just rub it. Don't pull it
out of the socket.

Just think, Willis. After Fillmore hires
the Major League, I can see it now.

It's the World Series.

You're out on the mound striking out
every batter.

Fifty...

be yelling, that's Willis Jackson.

Maybe so.

But you'll tell him I'm your brother,
won't you? I mean, even after you're a

superstar and have a candy bar named
after you?

Of course I will.

Hey, listen, I gotta get started on my
math homework.

Oh, you rest up for the game. I'll do
your math homework for you.

Oh, okay.

I mean, you know all about factoring
and, um, coefficients and inverse

The only way you're really going to
learn it is to do it yourself.

But it really doesn't make any
difference if I do my homework or not.

Stockwood is taking care of a few grades
for the players on the team.

Taking care of the grades?

What do you mean?

Well, he sees that they get passing
grades.

Hey, I wonder if he does grammar school.

Say, Willis, you think it could teach me
to be a great pitcher like you?

Hey, say no more.

Thanks.

Okay, now you stand right here. All
right.

Now, you're on the mound and I'm the
catcher. Now, bend over to see me give

the signal.

I'm going to need eye holes in this cap.

A simple get out would have been enough.

I was just practicing.

Look, Willis, this just came for you.

Me? I wonder who it's from. I know a way
to find out.

I hope you don't mind, Willis.

Would it matter?

Wow. Oh, man, check out this glove.

Man, this would be great for catching
fly balls.

Fly balls?

With that, you could catch the Goodyear
blimp.

Hey, look at this tape just there.

Ooh, who's your secret admirer, Willis?

It's from Coach Stockwood.

Hey, listen, it says... We're looking
forward to having you on the team next

year. Take care of that arm.

Man, he sure is an all right dude.

Well, why is he sending you all these
gifts?

Who cares?

Never look a gift coach in the mouth.

Why not? He's getting a fine athlete.

Mr. Drummond? Yes.

Certified letter for you. Sign here for
return receipt.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Here. Oh, thank you. Hey,

it's from the Board of Education.

Too bad. I was hoping it was a check
from Coach Stockwood.

We have received notification that
Willis Jackson now resides at 9476

Drive in Flushing, Queens.

Due to this change of address, he'll be
required to attend Millard Fillmore High

School next semester.

He did it, Arnold! He did it!

All right!

Willis, what is all this about?

Daddy fixed it, just like he said.

Man, he's really a fast worker.

Oh, wait a minute.

Saying that we moved when we didn't,
that's lying.

Yeah, but it's the only way I could play
for Fillmore High.

Even you wanted me to go there, Dad.

Stockwood had no right to do this.

He didn't tell us that in order to
change high schools, you had to fake

address.

Well, did you know he was going to do
that, Willis?

Sure. It's no big deal.

Well, it certainly is.

Sending gifts is one thing, but doing
something illegal is absolutely

unacceptable.

Whose address is this, anyway?

The coach's sister.

They're just supposed to be living
there.

Dad, it's just the coach's way of taking
care of his players.

Right. The same way he gets the dons
passing grades.

What?

That's great fixing, Willis.

Willis, I am appalled at this.

But I'd never do it myself, Dad.

No, you darn well won't, because you're
not going to go to Fillmore High.

Say what?

You're going to go to Garfield, where
you belong, and you're going to return

of these gifts.

Yes, it does.

But, Dad, this is my chance to play with
the best.

You can't do this to me.

Well, I just did it.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. And I don't want you to have
anything more to do with that Coach

Stockwood, and that is final.

We'll see about that.

I mean it, Willis.

Yeah, and so do I.

I know you're disappointed that you
won't be going to Fillmore.

And I'm sorry.

But it's for your own good.

It's for my own good to throw away a
great baseball career.

Right, Dad.

You'll be a has -been before you ever
was.

Dad, you just don't understand.

On the contrary, Willis. I don't
understand why I didn't catch on sooner.

I guess we both got carried away.

But Coach...

Doc Wood is nothing but a self -serving,
manipulating, exploiting, fast -talking

con artist.

Dad, nobody's perfect.

Dad, you got him all wrong.

He's a great guy and a great coach.

You want me to get based upon my best
shot, don't you?

Well, of course I do, Willis, as long as
it doesn't mean lying.

And as long as you have something to
back you up like, for instance, an

education. What's an education got to do
with baseball?

All you have to know how to do is spit
and scratch.

A good education is important for
everybody.

And especially if you're going to go
into professional sports.

Look, for every kid that makes it, there
are thousands and thousands that don't.

And even if you do make it, it's
important.

Because it can be over very quickly.

In the case of an injury.

It was my life.

And I want to go to Fillmore.

What gives you the right to say I can't?

A piece of paper that says I'm your
father.

Yeah, and I'm beginning to think that
was the dumbest piece of paper I ever

Willis, I think your curveball has
curved your brain.

He didn't mean that, Dad.

Yes, I did.

And I'm calling the coach and asking
could I move into his sister's place for

real.

That'll make you real happy, Dad.

Now I won't have to lie.

We'll discuss this later, Willis, after
you've calmed down.

Willis! Leave me alone, Arnold.

Willis, you really don't want to move
out, do you? Yes, I do. I'm calling the

coach. I can't let you do that.

Arnold, give me the phone.

Why should I?

Because I said so. That's no reason.

Give me the phone or I'm going to hang
you by your feet in the balcony.

Now that's a reason.

You've always wanted your own room. Now
you've got it.

Please don't go, Willis.

I don't want to sleep alone.

I'll have nightmares.

And what'll happen when I jump down from
my bunk to go to the bathroom?

Who's that I'm going to step on?

The bottom bunk's all yours.

Look, Willis.

You don't need Coach Stockwood. If you
got the stuff, you can become a

wherever you go.

It's not the way it works, Arnold.

Coach Stockwood has all the experience
and all the right connections.

Have you ever seen any major league
baseball players come out of Garfield

Well, so what if you don't become a
superstar?

Who wants a candy bar named after them
anyway?

Think of all the cavities you'll have on
your conscience.

Arnold.

Willis. Hey, Willis. What do you want?

Oh, Willis, stop acting like such a
twit.

You know Daddy's right. Why don't you
just admit it? Because he's not right.

You know what you are, Willis? You are
living proof that not all donkeys have

four legs.

How are you calling me, stubborn?

No, she's calling you a jackass.

Well, Willis, are you cooled off? What
is this, a gang up on Willis party?

No, no, no, no.

I just was hoping we could discuss this
a little more calmly, that's all. Yeah,

but we got nothing to discuss.

Okay, we can talk about this another
time.

But look, you may be mad at us, but
we're not mad at you.

Right. Just because you're acting
impossible doesn't mean we don't love

Right, and don't worry.

We'll be at the playoff game tomorrow,
rooting for you to pitch another no

-hitter. And if you do, I'll have the
whole team autograph the ball, and I'll

show it to you when you're a real old
man sitting... in a rocking chair,

remembering the game while you're
gumming a banana.

Yeah, well, you guys can forget the game
tomorrow.

I don't want any of you there.

What's he talking about, Willis?

Willis, what are you saying?

If you guys ain't gonna help me make it
big in baseball, I'll do it on my own. I

don't need you guys.

I tried, but I just couldn't make them
the way they do at the ballpark.

Cold, greasy, and raw.

Now that's what I call a hot dog.

Oh, gee, I sure hope Willis pitched all
right today.

Yeah, I wish we could have been at the
game.

Hey, here he is.

Hi.

How'd the game go?

Great. We won.

You look like you lost.

Did they get a lot of hits off you?

None. You mean you pitched another no
-hitter?

For two innings.

Then they took me out of the game
because I hurt my arm.

What's the matter with it? Where?

Well, the doctor said... He said I have,
um...

What is that?

Inflammation of the lateral epicondyle.

Couldn't they have found a doctor that
spoke English?

Arnold, that means pitcher's elbow.

May I see that, please? Sure.

But it's not that serious, Dad.

Ow!

I think we better have our own doctor
have a look at that.

Anyway, it'll be fine by the time I go
to Fillmore next year.

I'm gonna get my arm in top shape. I'm
gonna make it big there.

Willis, please, let's not start that
again.

Hello?

Yeah, sure, just a minute.

Willis, it's for you.

Hello.

Coach, who?

Oh, yeah, I guess you're calling about
beating the mess tomorrow. Yeah, right,

right. What time should I be there?

Why not?

Well, the elbow is a little tender, but
it's not that bad.

Well, I guess I understand.

Sure, I see.

All right.

Bye.

What is it, Willis? What happened? Looks
like I'm not meeting the Mets tomorrow.

They don't want me at Fillmore next year
either.

I don't understand. Coach Stockwood was
so hot for you.

It sounds as if Willis' injured elbow
cooled him off.

Right? Right.

He said you can't trust an arm like
mine.

You sure were right about him.

Well, I wish I'd been wrong.

Don't worry about it, Dad. You've been
wrong before. You'll be wrong again.

Stockwood didn't even have the guts to
call me and tell me himself.

That was his assistant.

They said maybe I can come the year
after next.

They don't care about me.

All they care about is my pitching.

And I wouldn't go to that school no
matter what they offer me or who's

Good for you.

I was just working because I knew I had
to work. It was miserable.

You want something better than just
minimum wage. I said to myself, enough

enough. I decided to go to Everest.
Training was awesome. It doesn't take a

time. It's short. It's hands -on. Your
instructors, they actually focus on you.

It helps a lot.

These are the people that believe in me.
They make sure that you know what

you're doing by the time you get out.
Now I have a good job, good pay, and I

support my daughter. If she can do it,
you can do it. Pick up the phone and

right now and start on the road to a

I'm sorry, Dad.

Will you forgive me?

I think that can be arranged.

I'm sorry I gave you guys such a hard
time, too. Will you guys forgive me,

That's all right. Yeah, don't worry
about it, Will. Everything's going to be

just fine.

Just wait till next year when I'm at
Garfield.

I'm going to get my arm in such good
shape, I'm going to blow Coach Stockwood

right out the league.

No, you won't.

Why not?

Because I'm going to do it first.

I'm going to go to the school board. I'm
going to tell them all about that guy

and how he operates, and that will be
the end of him.
