1
00:00:23,338 --> 00:00:27,889
A Man changes his Destiny
2
00:01:11,658 --> 00:01:14,730
Here is the story
of a young American - Monty Stratton...
3
00:01:14,818 --> 00:01:17,730
It begins on an autumn afternoon
near Wagner, Texas.
4
00:01:59,218 --> 00:02:01,049
Go ahead! Come on, Monty.
5
00:02:10,538 --> 00:02:11,857
First take.
6
00:02:26,498 --> 00:02:27,817
Second take.
7
00:02:32,018 --> 00:02:33,576
Go ahead, Monty.
8
00:02:34,098 --> 00:02:36,089
Third take. Removed!
9
00:02:43,218 --> 00:02:45,413
- Good season, Monty.
- Thank you, Mr. Higgins.
10
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:47,136
See you next season?
11
00:02:47,218 --> 00:02:48,970
Of course. Bye.
12
00:02:49,698 --> 00:02:52,258
- Hell of a game, son.
- Thank you, sir.
13
00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:54,488
Have you ever thought about playing?
at a professional level?
14
00:02:54,578 --> 00:02:56,534
I only think about that.
15
00:02:56,618 --> 00:02:58,609
Why waste your time here, then?
16
00:02:58,698 --> 00:03:01,371
Wasting my time?
I make $3 per game.
17
00:03:01,458 --> 00:03:04,018
Great. You and I need to talk.
18
00:03:04,098 --> 00:03:06,566
I'd like to, but I have to go.
19
00:03:06,658 --> 00:03:07,852
- Where are you going?
- At my house.
20
00:03:07,938 --> 00:03:10,930
- Can I accompany you?
- Of course, if you want.
21
00:03:16,098 --> 00:03:18,692
Where do you live?
22
00:03:18,778 --> 00:03:20,291
About 6 km.
23
00:03:20,378 --> 00:03:23,290
Maybe we could hitch a ride.
24
00:03:23,378 --> 00:03:25,972
No, we can wait an hour
before seeing a car.
25
00:03:26,058 --> 00:03:27,537
I prefer to wait.
26
00:03:34,458 --> 00:03:35,607
Happy.
27
00:03:37,378 --> 00:03:39,175
Hi mom, are you okay?
28
00:03:39,298 --> 00:03:42,256
- Did you have a match?
- Yes. I only gave them 4 hits.
29
00:03:42,338 --> 00:03:45,216
That's how the man of the house
uses his time.
30
00:03:45,298 --> 00:03:48,256
I had time to kill.
I finished my work before leaving.
31
00:03:48,338 --> 00:03:50,647
I even have time left
to pick cotton.
32
00:03:50,738 --> 00:03:54,014
You made good profits
in one day.
33
00:04:14,458 --> 00:04:16,176
Hello Mrs.
34
00:04:17,098 --> 00:04:20,010
- You must be Monty's mother.
- Yes.
35
00:04:20,098 --> 00:04:23,534
-Barney Wile. Is Monty there?
- He picks cotton.
36
00:04:24,218 --> 00:04:27,290
You tell me that after running 16 km
and played nine innings,
37
00:04:27,378 --> 00:04:29,016
- he picks cotton?
- Yes.
38
00:04:29,098 --> 00:04:31,373
He must really love baseball.
39
00:04:31,458 --> 00:04:33,847
He only thinks about that.
40
00:04:33,938 --> 00:04:35,451
That doesn't surprise me, ma'am.
41
00:04:35,538 --> 00:04:38,928
He is capable
to turn a ball into lightning
42
00:04:39,018 --> 00:04:42,010
and make it zigzag as it pleases.
43
00:04:42,098 --> 00:04:44,931
He has a big future in baseball.
44
00:04:46,698 --> 00:04:49,258
- Are you into baseball?
- Yes, ma'am.
45
00:04:49,378 --> 00:04:52,097
His future is working on the farm.
46
00:04:57,218 --> 00:04:58,970
Hey, hey, come here!
47
00:04:59,738 --> 00:05:02,252
Were you picked up by car?
48
00:05:02,338 --> 00:05:04,010
Yes. Part of the journey.
49
00:05:04,098 --> 00:05:07,647
That's quite a ride. I'm exhausted.
50
00:05:08,218 --> 00:05:09,856
You lack exercise, huh?
51
00:05:09,938 --> 00:05:12,930
Let's say I don't train
for the marathon.
52
00:05:13,218 --> 00:05:15,686
You go back and forth
every time you play?
53
00:05:15,778 --> 00:05:16,847
Yes.
54
00:05:17,018 --> 00:05:20,533
The trip serves as a warm-up for me,
55
00:05:20,618 --> 00:05:23,257
and the return serves as a stretch for me.
56
00:05:23,338 --> 00:05:26,489
- It's effective.
- I never thought about it.
57
00:05:26,578 --> 00:05:28,409
But for your throw, as I said,
58
00:05:28,498 --> 00:05:30,489
you have a beautiful movement.
59
00:05:32,218 --> 00:05:34,174
You haven't come all this way
60
00:05:34,258 --> 00:05:35,850
to congratulate me on my throw.
61
00:05:35,938 --> 00:05:39,089
Of course you're a little irregular,
we have to iron all this out,
62
00:05:39,178 --> 00:05:42,170
but I don't believe
that this will be a problem.
63
00:05:42,258 --> 00:05:43,486
Did you play baseball?
64
00:05:43,578 --> 00:05:46,092
- I played a lot back then.
- Where?
65
00:05:46,178 --> 00:05:50,057
Oh, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston.
I rolled my hump.
66
00:05:51,178 --> 00:05:53,214
- In the major leagues?
- Yes.
67
00:05:53,298 --> 00:05:55,653
- What position?
- Behind the bat.
68
00:05:55,738 --> 00:05:59,333
- You were a catcher, huh?
- I received all the big ones.
69
00:05:59,938 --> 00:06:02,372
- But...
- Oh, I know, I...
70
00:06:02,658 --> 00:06:04,296
I was stupid.
71
00:06:04,578 --> 00:06:07,775
The king of idiots.
72
00:06:08,258 --> 00:06:11,011
I wasn't training, I was drinking.
73
00:06:11,098 --> 00:06:13,248
On this diet, you don't last long.
74
00:06:13,338 --> 00:06:15,932
And by the time I understand it,
it was too late,
75
00:06:16,018 --> 00:06:18,327
and it's not so easy to come back.
76
00:06:19,138 --> 00:06:22,653
But when I saw you,
I knew my dream was coming true,
77
00:06:22,858 --> 00:06:26,737
my dream of finding a promising player
and get back into baseball.
78
00:06:27,778 --> 00:06:30,338
In any case, I would like to work with you.
79
00:06:31,298 --> 00:06:33,289
It's still daylight. Shall we play a little?
80
00:06:33,378 --> 00:06:36,893
Maybe you didn't have
your dose of exercise, but I do.
81
00:06:37,818 --> 00:06:41,254
Maybe we can practice tomorrow.
82
00:06:41,338 --> 00:06:42,930
Do you live nearby?
83
00:06:43,018 --> 00:06:45,327
Not quite.
84
00:06:45,418 --> 00:06:48,455
- Are you passing through?
- Yes, we can say that.
85
00:06:48,538 --> 00:06:50,608
I'm going to California.
86
00:06:52,018 --> 00:06:55,010
But it could be elsewhere, too.
87
00:06:55,938 --> 00:06:58,611
I could... Maybe...
88
00:06:58,698 --> 00:07:00,768
I could... I could help...
89
00:07:01,018 --> 00:07:03,452
Have you ever worked on a farm?
90
00:07:03,658 --> 00:07:05,888
Oh, I have, I...
91
00:07:05,978 --> 00:07:07,730
You look a little flabby.
92
00:07:07,818 --> 00:07:11,174
Son, I have muscles
which I haven't used yet.
93
00:07:14,778 --> 00:07:17,531
- Have you met my mother?
- Yes.
94
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:21,450
- I didn't make a strong impression.
- No wonder.
95
00:07:23,098 --> 00:07:24,213
Well,
96
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:28,566
as they say in baseball,
we'll have to play it smart.
97
00:07:28,738 --> 00:07:29,853
Yes.
98
00:07:31,338 --> 00:07:33,806
My compliments, Mrs. Stratton.
99
00:07:33,898 --> 00:07:36,128
It was a meal fit for a king.
100
00:07:36,418 --> 00:07:40,297
And this pie!
Much better than my mother's.
101
00:07:40,418 --> 00:07:41,737
Really?
102
00:07:42,058 --> 00:07:45,016
- She didn't know how to cook.
- I would have guessed it.
103
00:07:48,418 --> 00:07:50,852
Mr. Wile is looking for work.
104
00:07:50,938 --> 00:07:53,896
I thought he could spend the winter here
105
00:07:53,978 --> 00:07:55,570
and give us a helping hand.
106
00:07:55,658 --> 00:07:58,616
Monty, you know well
that we can't afford to hire.
107
00:07:58,698 --> 00:08:02,976
He doesn't ask for a salary.
Only room and board.
108
00:08:03,058 --> 00:08:06,209
I didn't realize
that you were so overwhelmed at that point.
109
00:08:06,298 --> 00:08:08,937
Oh, no, that's not it, mom.
110
00:08:09,018 --> 00:08:13,296
There are many things to do,
and Mr. Wile could help me.
111
00:08:14,218 --> 00:08:16,778
Repair the pigsty fence,
112
00:08:17,098 --> 00:08:19,737
repair the roof of the henhouse,
113
00:08:20,258 --> 00:08:22,852
clear the stumps at the stream.
114
00:08:23,258 --> 00:08:26,295
We could put everything back together.
115
00:08:26,458 --> 00:08:29,256
When your father died,
he left this farm to you, Monty.
116
00:08:29,338 --> 00:08:31,374
You're the man of the house.
117
00:08:31,458 --> 00:08:34,416
If you want Mr. Wile to stay,
I will not object to it.
118
00:08:34,498 --> 00:08:37,331
You are old enough to know what you are doing.
119
00:08:45,938 --> 00:08:47,007
Okay,
120
00:08:47,818 --> 00:08:50,537
Oddly enough, I feel a little tired.
121
00:08:50,698 --> 00:08:52,450
I wonder why.
122
00:08:52,538 --> 00:08:54,574
Are we going to bed, Barney?
123
00:08:55,858 --> 00:08:57,894
- Good night, mom.
- Good night.
124
00:08:57,978 --> 00:09:00,412
Good night, madam, and thank you.
125
00:09:01,218 --> 00:09:04,528
Monty only has this farm, Mr. Wile,
but it has value.
126
00:09:04,618 --> 00:09:07,007
The earth remains, if we take care of it.
127
00:09:07,098 --> 00:09:09,692
But go ahead,
talk baseball with Monty,
128
00:09:09,778 --> 00:09:13,168
and maybe one day
he will be as successful as you.
129
00:09:20,458 --> 00:09:22,847
No, wait, son. Wait.
130
00:09:22,938 --> 00:09:24,769
When you get ready,
131
00:09:25,498 --> 00:09:27,728
you pivot like that.
132
00:09:28,378 --> 00:09:30,414
Don't always search
to remove the mixer.
133
00:09:30,498 --> 00:09:33,217
Control and leash
your field players will help you.
134
00:09:36,778 --> 00:09:39,975
When you lean forward,
use your body.
135
00:09:40,578 --> 00:09:42,057
Follow the movement.
136
00:09:43,018 --> 00:09:46,090
In this kind of situation,
the best throw would be...
137
00:09:46,218 --> 00:09:49,369
Gently.
Follow the movement, gently.
138
00:09:51,338 --> 00:09:53,727
There you go, son. Gorgeous.
139
00:09:54,338 --> 00:09:55,407
So.
140
00:09:55,498 --> 00:09:59,252
Always covers first base
when the ball was hit far.
141
00:10:02,658 --> 00:10:04,933
Nice throw, small, nice throw.
142
00:10:05,698 --> 00:10:08,212
Throw me a curveball.
143
00:10:18,178 --> 00:10:20,328
GOOD. Alright!
144
00:10:21,258 --> 00:10:23,567
Come on, show me what you can do.
145
00:10:30,178 --> 00:10:32,214
That's all for today.
146
00:10:32,658 --> 00:10:35,855
Put on your jacket, kid.
Keep this arm warm.
147
00:10:38,538 --> 00:10:40,529
You are ready.
148
00:10:41,218 --> 00:10:43,652
- Are you kidding?
- I taught you everything I know.
149
00:10:43,738 --> 00:10:46,013
The rest you have to find out
by yourself.
150
00:10:46,098 --> 00:10:47,929
Now we must take action.
151
00:10:48,018 --> 00:10:49,736
There's not much action around here.
152
00:10:49,818 --> 00:10:51,615
But in California, there are.
153
00:10:51,698 --> 00:10:53,256
Jimmy Dykes and the White Sox
154
00:10:53,338 --> 00:10:55,533
start training
next week.
155
00:10:55,618 --> 00:10:57,290
- The Chicago White Sox?
- Yes.
156
00:10:57,378 --> 00:11:00,734
Jimmy Dykes is a long-time friend.
We have known each other for 20 years.
157
00:11:00,818 --> 00:11:03,696
A word from me,
and he will test you.
158
00:11:03,778 --> 00:11:05,416
- Really?
- Of course.
159
00:11:05,698 --> 00:11:07,814
- But in California?
- Yes.
160
00:11:12,898 --> 00:11:16,208
We will still have to play it smart.
161
00:11:16,298 --> 00:11:17,367
Yes.
162
00:11:23,178 --> 00:11:26,454
Barney and I are thinking
to go for a trip to California.
163
00:11:26,538 --> 00:11:27,653
Really?
164
00:11:27,738 --> 00:11:31,208
- What baseball team is there?
- The White Sox. They...
165
00:11:32,298 --> 00:11:33,333
How do you know?
166
00:11:33,418 --> 00:11:35,807
I suspected
that the reason was not important.
167
00:11:35,898 --> 00:11:39,015
- But it's important, ma'am.
- Enough to abandon the farm?
168
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:42,613
If he is recruited,
he will earn at least $300 per month.
169
00:11:43,178 --> 00:11:45,897
That's a lot of money
to throw a ball.
170
00:11:45,978 --> 00:11:48,651
And he doesn't give up anything at all
during his trial period.
171
00:11:48,738 --> 00:11:49,853
I talked to cousin Earnie.
172
00:11:49,938 --> 00:11:51,690
He said he would replace me on the farm.
173
00:11:51,778 --> 00:11:54,246
With $300 per month,
we could buy things.
174
00:11:54,338 --> 00:11:57,216
What makes you believe
that they will put you to the test?
175
00:11:57,298 --> 00:11:59,289
They do this with anyone?
176
00:11:59,818 --> 00:12:01,297
Certainly not.
177
00:12:01,378 --> 00:12:03,938
Barney and Jimmy Dykes
are old friends.
178
00:12:04,018 --> 00:12:05,133
- Who?
-Jimmy Dykes.
179
00:12:05,218 --> 00:12:06,731
He's the team's coach.
180
00:12:06,818 --> 00:12:08,888
I'm sure I have a chance.
181
00:12:08,978 --> 00:12:11,014
Land is the only sure thing.
182
00:12:11,098 --> 00:12:13,771
There are many people
who do not live on a farm.
183
00:12:13,858 --> 00:12:16,736
And a lot of people
who do not have enough to eat.
184
00:12:25,378 --> 00:12:26,527
You...
185
00:12:28,178 --> 00:12:30,089
You've made your decision, haven't you?
186
00:12:30,178 --> 00:12:32,738
I have to try, mom.
187
00:12:37,098 --> 00:12:39,214
And how do you plan to live?
188
00:12:39,298 --> 00:12:42,017
Don't worry, we'll manage,
huh, Barney?
189
00:12:42,098 --> 00:12:44,976
They don't pay a salary
during the trial period.
190
00:12:45,058 --> 00:12:47,367
But that won't be a problem.
191
00:12:54,098 --> 00:12:57,488
You shouldn't be discouraged
possible contributions.
192
00:12:57,578 --> 00:13:00,490
- What? We're already lucky to be going there.
- But...
193
00:13:01,458 --> 00:13:02,891
Here...
194
00:13:03,378 --> 00:13:06,097
Here is the $5 from the sale of the calf.
195
00:13:06,658 --> 00:13:09,377
- That's all I'm giving you.
- Thank you, mom.
196
00:13:09,458 --> 00:13:12,814
And don't worry, Mrs. Stratton,
I will take good care of him.
197
00:13:12,898 --> 00:13:14,854
So let him sort himself out.
198
00:13:15,498 --> 00:13:16,851
Good night.
199
00:13:21,938 --> 00:13:24,975
I see that stubbornness runs in the family.
200
00:13:36,338 --> 00:13:37,976
EL PASO 560 km
201
00:13:55,818 --> 00:13:58,252
PASADENA 40 km - LOS ANGELES 60 km
202
00:14:08,018 --> 00:14:11,010
Join the throwers and warm up your arm.
203
00:14:11,098 --> 00:14:12,247
And Mr. Dykes?
204
00:14:12,338 --> 00:14:15,569
I'm the one who takes care of it. Come on. Go ahead.
205
00:14:27,858 --> 00:14:30,088
- I can?
- Of course. Go ahead.
206
00:14:33,458 --> 00:14:35,847
He's fast, the little one!
207
00:14:36,258 --> 00:14:38,408
- Have you just arrived?
- Yes. Stratton.
208
00:14:38,498 --> 00:14:40,728
- Lyons.
- Nice to meet you, Mr. Lyons.
209
00:14:40,818 --> 00:14:42,046
Delighted.
210
00:14:42,138 --> 00:14:45,289
Don't worry about Eddie.
He took too many ricochets to the head.
211
00:14:45,378 --> 00:14:46,697
It's true?
212
00:14:47,458 --> 00:14:48,686
It's well done.
213
00:14:48,778 --> 00:14:50,575
Come on, Luke. Anticipate.
214
00:14:50,658 --> 00:14:53,126
Finish your gesture. Come on.
215
00:14:53,298 --> 00:14:54,731
Go ahead.
216
00:14:55,698 --> 00:14:57,290
Come on. Come on.
217
00:14:58,418 --> 00:15:01,296
Red, who is that kid in the leather jacket?
218
00:15:01,378 --> 00:15:02,413
I don't know.
219
00:15:02,498 --> 00:15:04,648
The best launcher
from Christy Mathewson.
220
00:15:04,738 --> 00:15:07,457
Oh, no! Barney Wile again.
221
00:15:07,538 --> 00:15:10,371
Jimmy, it's been a while since we last saw each other.
222
00:15:10,458 --> 00:15:12,176
- Since last spring.
- Exact.
223
00:15:12,258 --> 00:15:14,214
- Did you bring him?
- And how!
224
00:15:14,298 --> 00:15:16,334
- You're the first to see it.
- THANKS.
225
00:15:16,418 --> 00:15:19,569
He is very talented.
He worked with me all winter.
226
00:15:19,658 --> 00:15:20,807
Who provided the booze?
227
00:15:20,898 --> 00:15:25,050
No, no, Jimmy, I didn't drink a drop
since I saw this boy.
228
00:15:26,658 --> 00:15:30,651
Listen, son. Barney probably put you
delusional ideas in my head.
229
00:15:30,738 --> 00:15:33,411
But I don't have time to waste on that.
230
00:15:34,098 --> 00:15:36,248
- Are you... Are you Mr. Dykes?
- Yes.
231
00:15:36,338 --> 00:15:38,090
Oh, Jimmy, you can't do that.
232
00:15:38,178 --> 00:15:41,568
Barney, how many times have I told you
to stop this?
233
00:15:43,418 --> 00:15:45,807
Sorry to have disturbed you, sir.
234
00:15:46,298 --> 00:15:49,449
This boy tried hard
to get here, Jimmy.
235
00:15:49,538 --> 00:15:52,655
- Good control for a young pitcher.
- Watch him throw.
236
00:15:52,738 --> 00:15:53,932
Monty.
237
00:15:54,018 --> 00:15:56,134
Monty, don't leave like that.
238
00:15:56,218 --> 00:15:58,493
- Hey! Campaign!
- Monty, he's calling you.
239
00:15:58,578 --> 00:15:59,772
Caught!
240
00:16:01,298 --> 00:16:03,766
Eddie, give me your glove.
241
00:16:05,658 --> 00:16:07,489
Come on, Countryside. Spear.
242
00:16:07,578 --> 00:16:09,853
Come on, Monty, take off your jacket.
243
00:16:11,018 --> 00:16:12,610
Wow him, kid.
244
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:20,327
Come on.
245
00:16:29,418 --> 00:16:31,329
Did you see that, Jimmy?
246
00:16:35,378 --> 00:16:36,572
Come on.
247
00:16:41,378 --> 00:16:43,209
He breaks them well, huh?
248
00:16:43,298 --> 00:16:45,129
Throw me a fastball.
249
00:16:45,818 --> 00:16:48,207
- Well done, Walt.
- Along the line.
250
00:16:55,258 --> 00:16:57,533
You should practice a little.
251
00:16:58,258 --> 00:17:00,726
Let him stay. Maybe he has something.
252
00:17:01,458 --> 00:17:05,087
- But let him have his hair cut.
- Of course, Jimmy.
253
00:17:06,658 --> 00:17:08,250
HAIRDRESSER - CUT - 50 cents
254
00:17:09,338 --> 00:17:11,249
- In five minutes.
- All right.
255
00:17:25,978 --> 00:17:29,209
- Four coins for one?
- It's that simple.
256
00:18:17,858 --> 00:18:20,418
Luke, do you want to spend the evening?
with a girl?
257
00:18:20,498 --> 00:18:22,409
Of course. I'll ask my wife.
258
00:18:22,498 --> 00:18:25,535
I'm stuck.
The girl comes with a redneck from Omaha
259
00:18:25,618 --> 00:18:27,495
and I can't afford to take them out.
260
00:18:27,578 --> 00:18:28,693
Will you lend me $10, then?
261
00:18:28,778 --> 00:18:31,417
Stop, new guy, you already owe me $20.
262
00:18:31,658 --> 00:18:32,727
Yes.
263
00:18:34,778 --> 00:18:37,690
It's not possible, darling.
Can't you get rid of it?
264
00:18:47,778 --> 00:18:49,257
No, it's too late.
265
00:18:52,778 --> 00:18:55,087
This one is more generous!
266
00:18:57,938 --> 00:19:00,133
Honey, everything will be okay.
267
00:19:05,338 --> 00:19:07,135
Countryside, don't you have another costume?
268
00:19:07,218 --> 00:19:10,449
I know, I know. I told you
that it wasn't a good idea.
269
00:19:10,538 --> 00:19:12,847
Let go. They are coming.
270
00:19:18,898 --> 00:19:21,810
- Is it mine?
- No, mine. Not bad, right?
271
00:19:23,978 --> 00:19:25,536
Oh, it's mine.
272
00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:28,494
Do you still hit the jackpot?
273
00:19:28,698 --> 00:19:30,211
Oh, there's Eddie.
274
00:19:30,498 --> 00:19:31,726
Hi, Dot.
275
00:19:43,098 --> 00:19:44,213
Oh, no.
276
00:19:55,698 --> 00:19:57,973
Eddie is a hell of a dancer.
277
00:20:00,018 --> 00:20:01,929
He's also quite a flirt.
278
00:20:03,098 --> 00:20:05,931
I'm glad I insisted
for Dot to bring you tonight.
279
00:20:06,018 --> 00:20:07,576
THANKS.
280
00:20:10,418 --> 00:20:12,454
Dancing with you is dancing on a cloud.
281
00:20:12,538 --> 00:20:14,415
- Share, then.
- Right, Eddie.
282
00:20:14,498 --> 00:20:16,216
Get up, Dottie.
283
00:20:28,298 --> 00:20:30,653
I would invite you,
but I don't know how to dance.
284
00:20:30,738 --> 00:20:32,490
It's not serious.
285
00:20:36,338 --> 00:20:39,091
Baseball is the only thing
that I know.
286
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:41,215
It's already good.
287
00:20:41,978 --> 00:20:43,889
Did you see us training?
288
00:20:44,378 --> 00:20:47,893
- We? Who is “us”?
- The Chicago White Sox.
289
00:20:49,698 --> 00:20:53,850
No. This must be the attraction I missed.
290
00:20:54,298 --> 00:20:56,528
The team looks great. Really.
291
00:20:56,618 --> 00:20:58,256
We have a good infield.
292
00:20:58,338 --> 00:20:59,737
Oh, that's good.
293
00:21:00,578 --> 00:21:02,728
I bet you're a good player.
294
00:21:02,818 --> 00:21:05,378
I don't know. I'm on trial.
295
00:21:06,418 --> 00:21:10,491
You're strong. I bet you can
hit a ball very far.
296
00:21:10,698 --> 00:21:14,168
I'm not supposed to hit.
I'm a pitcher.
297
00:21:15,418 --> 00:21:18,012
In this case,
I bet you can throw far.
298
00:21:20,378 --> 00:21:24,257
No, you don't understand.
I have to throw about 18m.
299
00:21:25,338 --> 00:21:28,011
In this case,
I bet you can throw fast.
300
00:21:28,218 --> 00:21:31,255
Sometimes you lean back
and you throw it quickly,
301
00:21:31,338 --> 00:21:34,455
and other times you throw it away.
302
00:21:34,578 --> 00:21:36,330
Like this, you bend it,
303
00:21:36,418 --> 00:21:39,888
or in some cases, you float it.
304
00:21:39,978 --> 00:21:42,446
This is what we call
the change of pace. Like...
305
00:21:42,538 --> 00:21:46,008
I go from rooster to donkey
and I may be indiscreet,
306
00:21:46,098 --> 00:21:49,647
but what is this noise?
307
00:21:49,858 --> 00:21:52,531
- What? The what?
- This ringing.
308
00:21:57,018 --> 00:21:58,497
Look at.
309
00:22:01,458 --> 00:22:05,167
I was waiting for a cut and I saw
these machines in the hotel lobby.
310
00:22:05,258 --> 00:22:07,135
I had never seen one.
311
00:22:07,498 --> 00:22:11,286
It intrigued me,
so I put in a quarter,
312
00:22:11,378 --> 00:22:13,846
and all kinds of fruits
started to spin...
313
00:22:13,938 --> 00:22:17,408
It stopped, and nothing happened.
314
00:22:18,578 --> 00:22:21,331
I took out another quarter,
315
00:22:21,858 --> 00:22:23,974
it was the money from my cup.
316
00:22:24,058 --> 00:22:26,174
It was my last piece.
317
00:22:26,538 --> 00:22:29,610
Broke for broke,
I didn't need a cut,
318
00:22:29,698 --> 00:22:31,529
so I put the last piece.
319
00:22:31,618 --> 00:22:35,008
Again the fruit has turned,
slowed down and stopped.
320
00:22:35,098 --> 00:22:37,771
And there the pieces fell into place
to get out of this thing
321
00:22:37,858 --> 00:22:40,133
like chickens from a breached fence.
322
00:22:40,938 --> 00:22:42,849
I had my haircut done.
323
00:22:43,898 --> 00:22:48,096
If you don't succeed in baseball,
you have a future in gambling.
324
00:22:48,178 --> 00:22:50,567
- No, gambling is over.
- For what?
325
00:22:50,658 --> 00:22:54,333
I know now what it feels like to lose
and what it feels like to win.
326
00:22:54,418 --> 00:22:55,897
Why continue?
327
00:23:08,018 --> 00:23:09,212
Eh, yes.
328
00:23:09,538 --> 00:23:12,052
It's going to be a great evening.
329
00:23:12,418 --> 00:23:15,057
There are many places
where to have fun in California,
330
00:23:15,138 --> 00:23:17,129
and Ethel, I'll show them all to you.
331
00:23:17,218 --> 00:23:19,493
You don't have to go to all this trouble.
332
00:23:19,578 --> 00:23:21,728
Bad? On the contrary.
333
00:23:22,018 --> 00:23:24,407
Entertaining you will be a pleasure.
334
00:23:24,498 --> 00:23:26,489
There's a great place in Malibu.
335
00:23:26,578 --> 00:23:29,615
Soft music, dancing under the stars.
336
00:23:30,018 --> 00:23:32,088
If you want more upbeat music,
337
00:23:32,178 --> 00:23:34,738
there's a great nightclub in Hollywood.
338
00:23:34,818 --> 00:23:36,615
When I have shown you the city,
339
00:23:36,698 --> 00:23:38,814
you won't want to go back to Omaha again.
340
00:23:38,898 --> 00:23:40,217
We're going to tour.
341
00:23:40,298 --> 00:23:43,131
And what we don't do tonight,
we will do it tomorrow.
342
00:23:43,218 --> 00:23:44,446
Leave it to me.
343
00:23:44,538 --> 00:23:47,610
Uncle Eddie takes care of everything.
344
00:23:47,698 --> 00:23:49,177
You have to have fun.
345
00:23:49,258 --> 00:23:52,250
What's the point of living
if we don't have a good time?
346
00:23:52,338 --> 00:23:54,010
You only live once.
347
00:23:54,218 --> 00:23:56,493
And when you're dead, it's too late.
348
00:23:56,578 --> 00:23:57,567
- I don't...
- Let's go.
349
00:23:57,658 --> 00:23:59,091
- Where?
- Let's go back.
350
00:23:59,258 --> 00:24:00,532
For what? It's early.
351
00:24:00,618 --> 00:24:02,529
- We have lots of places to see.
- Go for it.
352
00:24:02,618 --> 00:24:06,008
We are going back.
Nice to have met you. Good evening.
353
00:24:16,938 --> 00:24:20,897
It didn't occur to you that I had
maybe want to go with them?
354
00:24:20,978 --> 00:24:24,015
What you wanted
wasn't that important.
355
00:24:24,858 --> 00:24:26,689
- Oh, no?
- No, no.
356
00:24:26,858 --> 00:24:29,895
What was important,
It's the way Eddie treated Dot.
357
00:24:29,978 --> 00:24:33,937
He was trying to impress you,
he shouldn't have done that in front of her.
358
00:24:34,858 --> 00:24:38,646
- Or in front of you.
- No. That's not what I mean.
359
00:24:40,098 --> 00:24:42,976
I'm sorry about tonight.
360
00:24:43,898 --> 00:24:46,492
You had to put up with me all evening.
361
00:24:48,338 --> 00:24:50,568
- Oh, that's stupid.
- No.
362
00:24:50,898 --> 00:24:53,935
I don't have much experience
with the girls.
363
00:25:03,378 --> 00:25:05,050
What's so funny?
364
00:25:06,178 --> 00:25:09,966
- And you got stuck with the bill.
- It was necessary to escape.
365
00:25:12,418 --> 00:25:13,771
We have arrived.
366
00:25:28,218 --> 00:25:30,095
- Good night.
- Good night, Monty.
367
00:25:30,178 --> 00:25:32,772
Monty, I'm sorry about tonight.
368
00:25:32,858 --> 00:25:34,814
I behaved very badly.
369
00:25:35,738 --> 00:25:39,367
But I don't have much experience
with baseball players.
370
00:25:39,458 --> 00:25:43,576
I'm not officially one yet.
I have to join the team.
371
00:25:43,658 --> 00:25:45,057
You're going to go in.
372
00:25:45,138 --> 00:25:48,926
How do you know? You said
that you didn't know anything about baseball.
373
00:25:49,058 --> 00:25:50,571
I could learn.
374
00:25:54,858 --> 00:25:57,008
When are you coming back to Omaha?
375
00:25:57,378 --> 00:25:58,857
In a while.
376
00:26:00,138 --> 00:26:03,175
- Enough for me to visit you?
- In principle.
377
00:26:05,658 --> 00:26:08,047
- Good night, Ethel.
- Good night, Monty.
378
00:26:13,578 --> 00:26:14,772
Hey, buddy!
379
00:26:16,218 --> 00:26:19,016
Hey! Where are you going to go?
380
00:26:19,618 --> 00:26:22,655
- What?
- I'm asking you where you plan to go.
381
00:26:24,538 --> 00:26:26,130
That, I don't know.
382
00:26:58,538 --> 00:27:01,006
Monty, you looked great today.
383
00:27:01,098 --> 00:27:03,658
That good old arm was effective.
384
00:27:03,738 --> 00:27:07,287
The team is going East tomorrow.
We're taking you with us.
385
00:27:07,378 --> 00:27:10,575
Get dressed and come to the office,
we're going to make you sign a contract.
386
00:27:10,658 --> 00:27:13,331
Barney, did you hear that?
387
00:27:13,418 --> 00:27:14,897
What are you going to do, Barney?
388
00:27:14,978 --> 00:27:19,449
If you don't mind,
I would like to accompany him.
389
00:27:19,538 --> 00:27:21,893
- No chaperones.
- Listen, Mr. Dykes...
390
00:27:21,978 --> 00:27:23,934
No people doing nothing.
391
00:27:24,018 --> 00:27:25,576
Jimmy, I'll do whatever you want.
392
00:27:25,658 --> 00:27:29,094
What then?
Point blank, I have no ideas.
393
00:27:29,178 --> 00:27:32,488
Unless you want
train young pitchers.
394
00:27:53,978 --> 00:27:55,013
Good morning.
395
00:27:55,098 --> 00:27:57,168
- Hello, Monty.
- Hello, Mr. Dykes.
396
00:28:09,418 --> 00:28:12,216
We didn't have much time.
397
00:28:12,298 --> 00:28:15,449
- Enough for me to deplore it.
- There might be some.
398
00:28:15,538 --> 00:28:17,847
Why, do you doubt it?
399
00:28:19,778 --> 00:28:23,168
California was more attractive
than I had imagined.
400
00:28:23,458 --> 00:28:27,053
Yes, it's good
that you made the team.
401
00:28:27,138 --> 00:28:30,016
That's not what I mean,
and you know it.
402
00:28:31,058 --> 00:28:32,093
I know that, Monty.
403
00:28:32,178 --> 00:28:33,372
By car!
404
00:28:33,498 --> 00:28:36,695
- Goodbye, Ethel. Let's go, kid.
- All right.
405
00:28:38,578 --> 00:28:40,296
- Are you going to write to me?
- I don't know.
406
00:28:40,378 --> 00:28:42,846
How will I know you're thinking about me
if you don't write?
407
00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:45,247
I will never arrive
to write what I think.
408
00:28:45,338 --> 00:28:46,976
Letters aren't my strong point.
409
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:48,855
By car! By car!
410
00:29:00,978 --> 00:29:02,934
Hey, aren't you coming with us?
411
00:29:04,298 --> 00:29:05,777
Bye.
412
00:29:07,658 --> 00:29:08,852
Bye.
413
00:29:44,738 --> 00:29:47,411
Yes. This guy likes outside throws.
414
00:29:47,498 --> 00:29:49,966
You have to throw him inside balls.
415
00:29:56,138 --> 00:29:58,971
Yes, this guy,
he murders curveballs.
416
00:29:59,178 --> 00:30:01,897
You have to throw it at him
high and fast balls.
417
00:30:08,018 --> 00:30:10,054
With a man on first base,
418
00:30:10,138 --> 00:30:13,369
the drummer will send it
behind the runner in right field.
419
00:30:13,458 --> 00:30:15,972
So you have to throw him an inside ball.
420
00:30:16,058 --> 00:30:19,448
It's good to know if I'm ever given
the opportunity to try.
421
00:30:19,898 --> 00:30:22,890
Don't be in a hurry.
You learn too, like that.
422
00:30:23,218 --> 00:30:24,776
We have a beautiful view.
423
00:30:24,938 --> 00:30:27,930
- I should pay for this place.
- Calm down.
424
00:30:39,498 --> 00:30:41,216
These Yankees are tough.
425
00:30:49,978 --> 00:30:51,127
Time out!
426
00:30:51,618 --> 00:30:52,767
Time out!
427
00:30:59,378 --> 00:31:02,529
- Not easy, huh?
- We risk death on this ground.
428
00:31:02,618 --> 00:31:06,213
What a team! Dickey, DiMaggio, Gehrig.
429
00:31:06,538 --> 00:31:08,733
We don't get them by force.
430
00:31:08,818 --> 00:31:10,729
You have to be smarter than them,
431
00:31:10,818 --> 00:31:13,286
destabilize them, catch them off guard.
432
00:31:13,378 --> 00:31:15,892
It's not me
which will catch them off guard.
433
00:31:15,978 --> 00:31:18,697
They have nothing to fear from me from here.
434
00:31:18,778 --> 00:31:21,656
Every time I get paid,
I feel like I'm flying.
435
00:31:21,738 --> 00:31:22,932
Ball in play!
436
00:31:29,498 --> 00:31:30,692
Campaign!
437
00:31:31,978 --> 00:31:33,206
Warm up.
438
00:31:36,778 --> 00:31:38,609
Finally. Come on, I'll go.
439
00:31:38,698 --> 00:31:40,928
Oh, not now.
440
00:31:42,298 --> 00:31:45,210
These Yankees send
no more pitchers in Omaha...
441
00:31:49,258 --> 00:31:53,536
New launcher for Chicago,
number 25, Monty Stratton.
442
00:31:54,698 --> 00:31:56,495
Campaign, you ended up leaving the bench.
443
00:31:56,578 --> 00:31:59,138
New drummer for New York,
Bill Dickey.
444
00:32:03,178 --> 00:32:05,089
Perhaps I would have been better off staying there.
445
00:32:05,178 --> 00:32:08,136
He's a player like any other.
A simple adversary.
446
00:32:11,378 --> 00:32:12,652
Ball in play!
447
00:32:17,298 --> 00:32:19,528
Come on, blue guy, throw me a nice one.
448
00:32:36,098 --> 00:32:37,292
Omaha.
449
00:32:48,818 --> 00:32:49,853
Good morning.
450
00:32:52,498 --> 00:32:54,329
- Good morning!
- Hello dear.
451
00:32:54,418 --> 00:32:56,488
I'm so happy to see you!
452
00:32:57,578 --> 00:32:59,216
What are you doing here? I thought that...
453
00:32:59,298 --> 00:33:01,448
I know, I know, I know. Sit down.
454
00:33:01,538 --> 00:33:03,449
I need to talk to you. I have a problem.
455
00:33:03,538 --> 00:33:05,529
You said you were going to launch this week.
456
00:33:05,618 --> 00:33:07,893
Yes. That's what I want to talk to you about.
457
00:33:07,978 --> 00:33:09,934
- What happened?
- All.
458
00:33:10,018 --> 00:33:12,816
Honey, when I left you in California,
459
00:33:12,898 --> 00:33:14,251
- I thought...
- The score?
460
00:33:14,338 --> 00:33:18,092
Never mind. They massacred me.
What bothers me is that...
461
00:33:18,178 --> 00:33:20,248
You can't win every time.
462
00:33:20,338 --> 00:33:23,057
They don't expect
so that I win at all.
463
00:33:23,138 --> 00:33:26,813
They sent me to Omaha
so that I can gain experience.
464
00:33:26,898 --> 00:33:29,412
You won't go to jail
for playing in Omaha.
465
00:33:29,498 --> 00:33:31,568
I know, I know. I have nothing against Omaha,
466
00:33:31,658 --> 00:33:34,491
but maybe I won't
succeed here either.
467
00:33:34,578 --> 00:33:36,933
We're going to be on tour
for a few weeks.
468
00:33:37,018 --> 00:33:39,134
If so,
I'm going back to the farm.
469
00:33:39,218 --> 00:33:42,210
- You don't like the farm?
- Yes, yes. How are you.
470
00:33:42,298 --> 00:33:43,367
- But...
- What, then?
471
00:33:43,458 --> 00:33:46,768
The situation is different,
now that's it.
472
00:33:47,538 --> 00:33:49,130
Now there is you.
473
00:33:50,378 --> 00:33:52,016
Is it me, your problem?
474
00:33:53,138 --> 00:33:56,767
- Well...
- Would it help you if I told you that I love you?
475
00:33:57,178 --> 00:33:58,850
That's the problem!
476
00:33:59,938 --> 00:34:01,291
Oh, I understand.
477
00:34:02,178 --> 00:34:04,408
No, you don't understand, Ethel. I...
478
00:34:04,898 --> 00:34:07,970
Whatever I do, I think of you.
479
00:34:08,138 --> 00:34:12,051
And every time I see
something new,
480
00:34:12,138 --> 00:34:13,935
I would like you to see it with me.
481
00:34:14,018 --> 00:34:17,488
I don't know. If this is love,
I am seriously affected.
482
00:34:20,018 --> 00:34:21,133
Oh, you scared me.
483
00:34:21,218 --> 00:34:24,813
I had all kinds of plans for us,
with me being in the big leagues and everything.
484
00:34:24,898 --> 00:34:26,456
And now, I don't know where I'm going.
485
00:34:26,538 --> 00:34:28,972
I don't care if you play
in the major league or...
486
00:34:29,058 --> 00:34:31,208
But a man must know where he is going.
487
00:34:31,298 --> 00:34:34,290
- What do you want to do?
- Give me a chance to succeed.
488
00:34:34,378 --> 00:34:37,290
I want to make sure
that I will not disappoint you.
489
00:34:37,538 --> 00:34:39,927
Okay, Monty, if that's what you want.
490
00:34:41,338 --> 00:34:42,930
You are what I want.
491
00:34:44,178 --> 00:34:48,171
I love you, Monty.
You can never disappoint me.
492
00:34:50,658 --> 00:34:52,569
- Monty?
- Yes, my darling?
493
00:34:53,818 --> 00:34:55,410
What was the score?
494
00:34:58,978 --> 00:35:00,650
16-0.
495
00:35:02,138 --> 00:35:03,332
Sixteen?
496
00:35:04,378 --> 00:35:05,857
- To zero?
- Zero.
497
00:35:10,418 --> 00:35:12,852
Honey, do you know
that there is a tailor in Chicago
498
00:35:12,938 --> 00:35:15,327
which offers a costume to each player
499
00:35:15,418 --> 00:35:17,488
who touches the scoreboard?
500
00:35:17,578 --> 00:35:21,093
Since yesterday, the New York Yankees
are the best dressed in baseball.
501
00:35:30,898 --> 00:35:32,297
Ted, warm up.
502
00:35:37,138 --> 00:35:39,572
Stratton won another match yesterday.
503
00:35:42,858 --> 00:35:46,134
Yes. That's six in a row.
504
00:35:48,178 --> 00:35:50,328
Including three shutouts.
505
00:35:50,858 --> 00:35:52,894
He didn't give them
only two hits yesterday.
506
00:35:52,978 --> 00:35:56,334
That's why we sent him there,
so that it improves.
507
00:35:56,778 --> 00:35:59,053
It should be ready now.
508
00:36:09,138 --> 00:36:12,813
Dad - I'm at the Capitole cinema.
Pick me up at 11 p.m. - Ethel
509
00:36:26,458 --> 00:36:27,777
Sorry.
510
00:36:38,778 --> 00:36:40,894
- Let's see!
- I'm sorry.
511
00:36:40,978 --> 00:36:43,538
- Did you lose something?
- No, no.
512
00:36:49,098 --> 00:36:50,577
- Pardon.
- Excuse me.
513
00:36:50,658 --> 00:36:53,650
- What are you looking for, sir?
- I'm not looking...
514
00:36:54,978 --> 00:36:56,969
I'm looking for a girl called...
515
00:36:57,058 --> 00:36:58,207
Ethel!
516
00:36:58,818 --> 00:37:00,695
- Silence!
- Monty.
517
00:37:03,378 --> 00:37:04,413
My feet.
518
00:37:04,498 --> 00:37:06,534
Honey, what... Sorry. What are you doing here?
519
00:37:06,618 --> 00:37:07,607
I have a problem.
520
00:37:07,698 --> 00:37:09,211
Can you discuss this elsewhere?
521
00:37:09,298 --> 00:37:10,811
Yes, sir. Come on.
522
00:37:10,898 --> 00:37:13,412
- A problem? Again?
- Yes.
523
00:37:13,978 --> 00:37:15,889
- Let's sit there.
- All right.
524
00:37:17,378 --> 00:37:21,132
I take the 11 p.m. train to Chicago.
The White Sox called me back.
525
00:37:21,218 --> 00:37:24,130
So everything is going well.
What's the problem?
526
00:37:24,218 --> 00:37:26,812
I don't know what to give you
for your birthday.
527
00:37:26,898 --> 00:37:29,332
- My birthday?
- I have seen all kinds of things,
528
00:37:29,418 --> 00:37:31,727
but I can't find what I'm looking for.
529
00:37:31,818 --> 00:37:33,695
Monty, we can't talk about this here.
530
00:37:33,778 --> 00:37:35,894
No, no, no. It has to be. This needs to be resolved.
531
00:37:35,978 --> 00:37:38,572
I know what I would like to give you.
532
00:37:38,658 --> 00:37:41,730
- Surprise me.
- You might not want it.
533
00:37:42,018 --> 00:37:44,327
- What do you want to offer me?
- Me.
534
00:37:45,658 --> 00:37:47,694
This is what I always dreamed of.
535
00:37:53,938 --> 00:37:57,328
You two are cute,
but this is better.
536
00:38:07,978 --> 00:38:12,688
COMISKEY PARK - WHITE SOX STADIUM
537
00:38:15,218 --> 00:38:16,810
Good. GOOD.
538
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:19,613
Remember, serve it with coffee.
539
00:38:19,698 --> 00:38:22,132
- Yes, sir. With coffee.
- Yes. Yes.
540
00:38:29,498 --> 00:38:31,648
Are they still dancing?
541
00:38:38,298 --> 00:38:41,051
This Ted is a good dancer, isn't he?
542
00:38:41,298 --> 00:38:43,892
I don't know.
I never danced with him.
543
00:38:44,378 --> 00:38:48,610
I hope your mother will be kinder
with Ethel than she was with me.
544
00:38:48,858 --> 00:38:51,133
Ethel has a little more charm.
545
00:38:51,218 --> 00:38:52,367
I...
546
00:38:57,218 --> 00:38:58,571
Thanks, Ted. It was nice.
547
00:38:58,658 --> 00:39:02,014
I don't understand how Campaign
was able to find a girl like you.
548
00:39:02,098 --> 00:39:05,170
It wasn't easy. I insisted a lot.
549
00:39:05,258 --> 00:39:07,977
She's pretty, but she's not very smart.
550
00:39:09,938 --> 00:39:12,213
- Here are the Bombers.
- The Bombers?
551
00:39:12,458 --> 00:39:14,574
Players from the Yankees team.
552
00:39:18,618 --> 00:39:19,937
It's them.
553
00:39:21,898 --> 00:39:23,126
-Hey, Ted.
- Hello, Barney.
554
00:39:23,218 --> 00:39:24,492
- Hi.
- Hi.
555
00:39:24,578 --> 00:39:25,693
-Hey, Ted.
- Hello, Bill.
556
00:39:25,778 --> 00:39:27,416
- Do you know Barney Wile?
- Delighted.
557
00:39:27,498 --> 00:39:28,487
And Monty Stratton?
558
00:39:28,578 --> 00:39:30,170
- Good evening.
- Mrs. Stratton, Bill Dickey.
559
00:39:30,258 --> 00:39:31,293
Enchanted.
560
00:39:31,378 --> 00:39:34,848
- We saw each other at the start of the season, right?
- Yes, that's all there is.
561
00:39:35,498 --> 00:39:37,648
- Are you back with the Sox?
- Exact.
562
00:39:37,738 --> 00:39:41,208
- Glad to hear that.
- Are you starting to run out of costumes?
563
00:39:41,698 --> 00:39:43,654
- It was a pleasure, Mrs. Stratton.
- THANKS.
564
00:39:43,738 --> 00:39:44,727
- Good luck.
- THANKS.
565
00:39:44,818 --> 00:39:45,967
Bye.
566
00:39:47,578 --> 00:39:49,057
He's nice.
567
00:39:49,738 --> 00:39:51,888
I told you she wasn't smart.
568
00:39:51,978 --> 00:39:54,128
Wait until you see him tomorrow, darling.
569
00:39:54,218 --> 00:39:56,049
They don't call them Bombers for nothing.
570
00:39:56,138 --> 00:39:59,096
I know one
who is going to have a difficult afternoon.
571
00:40:00,538 --> 00:40:03,098
By the way, who will launch tomorrow?
572
00:40:03,178 --> 00:40:04,213
You.
573
00:40:06,698 --> 00:40:07,733
Me?
574
00:40:08,218 --> 00:40:11,176
Yes. The pitchers are tired.
It's your turn.
575
00:40:15,618 --> 00:40:18,132
What... Have you unpacked?
576
00:40:18,538 --> 00:40:20,768
- Not yet.
- Then don't do it.
577
00:40:32,138 --> 00:40:34,254
- Good morning. White Sox?
- Yes.
578
00:40:34,338 --> 00:40:36,056
Mrs. Appling, blocker.
579
00:40:36,138 --> 00:40:38,527
This is Ms. Piet, third base,
and Mrs. Shea, receiver.
580
00:40:38,618 --> 00:40:41,610
Enchanted. Mrs. Monty Stratton, pitcher.
581
00:40:42,058 --> 00:40:43,411
Sit down.
582
00:40:47,738 --> 00:40:49,569
How are you feeling, son?
583
00:40:49,778 --> 00:40:52,736
- Almost as nervous as you.
- Me? No, I...
584
00:40:53,498 --> 00:40:56,570
It's time. Give it your all.
585
00:40:57,138 --> 00:40:58,287
Okay, Barney.
586
00:40:58,378 --> 00:40:59,572
Ball in play!
587
00:41:01,898 --> 00:41:03,092
Nervous?
588
00:41:03,898 --> 00:41:05,968
We are with you wholeheartedly.
589
00:41:46,338 --> 00:41:49,933
Bating for Chicago,
number 25, Monty Stratton.
590
00:41:50,018 --> 00:41:52,213
Come on, Monty.
Show them what you can do.
591
00:41:52,298 --> 00:41:55,734
- You lasted a little longer, Monty.
- Yes, I'm hanging on.
592
00:41:56,218 --> 00:41:58,607
Hey, Charlie. Cover it.
593
00:42:14,298 --> 00:42:15,367
Except!
594
00:42:19,178 --> 00:42:21,976
It's almost a team in itself!
595
00:42:25,898 --> 00:42:27,650
WITHDRAWALS
596
00:42:52,098 --> 00:42:53,736
He's starting to get tired.
597
00:42:54,098 --> 00:42:56,009
He will get through this.
598
00:42:58,298 --> 00:43:01,210
At bat, number 8, Bill Dickey.
599
00:43:09,738 --> 00:43:11,649
Come on, Monty. Come on, Monty.
600
00:43:19,778 --> 00:43:20,927
Socket.
601
00:43:34,858 --> 00:43:36,052
Socket.
602
00:43:42,058 --> 00:43:44,891
One last, little one, one last.
603
00:43:54,978 --> 00:43:57,094
- Withdrawn!
- Aren't you mad?
604
00:43:57,378 --> 00:43:59,050
No. I'm delighted.
605
00:44:06,058 --> 00:44:09,733
- The most beautiful thing I have read.
- Maybe we can stay a few days.
606
00:44:09,818 --> 00:44:12,013
Too bad the season is almost over.
607
00:44:12,098 --> 00:44:14,976
maybe I can win
a few more matches before the end.
608
00:44:15,058 --> 00:44:16,127
Listen to this.
609
00:44:16,218 --> 00:44:18,812
"The Yankees ate
in Stratton's hand."
610
00:44:18,898 --> 00:44:22,129
They started to nibble her
in the 9th round.
611
00:44:22,218 --> 00:44:24,573
"Stratton got away with it
like a seasoned player."
612
00:44:24,658 --> 00:44:26,967
You speak. As if it were easy.
613
00:44:27,858 --> 00:44:31,612
"Of course, Stratton benefited greatly
of the referee's short-sightedness."
614
00:44:31,698 --> 00:44:32,926
What?
615
00:44:33,018 --> 00:44:35,009
"He persisted in seeing the marble under the ball,
616
00:44:35,098 --> 00:44:37,054
"it didn't matter where Stratton threw it."
617
00:44:37,138 --> 00:44:39,936
And Stratton throws a catch inside!
618
00:44:41,018 --> 00:44:43,691
"When Stratton was throwing,
the only safe place was home plate.”
619
00:44:43,778 --> 00:44:45,769
Stratton throws a catch to the outside.
620
00:44:45,858 --> 00:44:48,053
"He threw them like
big white balloons."
621
00:44:48,138 --> 00:44:50,129
Stratton throws a 3rd take
right in the center.
622
00:44:50,218 --> 00:44:52,652
"So the infielders..."
623
00:44:55,458 --> 00:44:59,895
How long will I have to
endure this torture?
624
00:45:00,258 --> 00:45:02,408
About 70 or 80 years, I hope.
625
00:45:08,118 --> 00:45:10,678
Here is one of my favorite recipes
that you won't want to miss.
626
00:45:10,758 --> 00:45:14,671
Old-fashioned apple pie
like mom did,
627
00:45:15,038 --> 00:45:17,154
with this tasty puff pastry...
628
00:45:17,238 --> 00:45:20,116
He will tell me how to do it
apple pie.
629
00:45:23,398 --> 00:45:25,673
You want
call your dog back, ma'am?
630
00:45:25,758 --> 00:45:27,316
I bring you some books.
631
00:45:27,398 --> 00:45:29,958
Monty! My God!
632
00:45:30,038 --> 00:45:32,711
- How are you doing?
- I didn't recognize you.
633
00:45:32,798 --> 00:45:33,833
These new clothes.
634
00:45:33,918 --> 00:45:36,068
That's not all that's new. This is Ethel.
635
00:45:36,158 --> 00:45:37,273
Good morning.
636
00:45:37,598 --> 00:45:41,511
Monty told me about you in his letters,
but his words don't do you justice.
637
00:45:41,598 --> 00:45:43,554
You were very lucky, son.
638
00:45:43,638 --> 00:45:45,390
- That, yes.
- You have a new car.
639
00:45:45,478 --> 00:45:47,469
Yes, I bought myself this pile of junk.
640
00:45:47,558 --> 00:45:48,911
- Take out your things.
- Yes.
641
00:45:48,998 --> 00:45:50,670
- Are you hungry?
- Yes.
642
00:45:50,758 --> 00:45:52,510
I'll make you dinner.
643
00:45:52,598 --> 00:45:53,997
I will help you.
644
00:45:54,078 --> 00:45:56,546
Beautiful like that, she knows how to cook?
645
00:45:56,638 --> 00:45:57,707
She manages.
646
00:45:57,798 --> 00:45:59,151
- Oh, Earnie!
- Hi.
647
00:45:59,238 --> 00:46:01,832
Are you okay, Earnie?
Ethel, this is my cousin Earnie.
648
00:46:01,918 --> 00:46:03,670
- Hello, Earnie.
- Madam.
649
00:46:04,078 --> 00:46:05,227
It seems you're good.
650
00:46:05,318 --> 00:46:08,230
I managed to win a few matches
before the end of the season.
651
00:46:08,318 --> 00:46:09,751
So, you...
652
00:46:10,878 --> 00:46:12,948
- Do you like it now?
- No.
653
00:46:15,918 --> 00:46:17,749
You won't need me anymore.
654
00:46:17,838 --> 00:46:18,953
In fact, Earnie,
655
00:46:19,038 --> 00:46:21,598
I would like you to stay this winter.
656
00:46:21,678 --> 00:46:23,953
There are lots of things to do here.
657
00:46:24,038 --> 00:46:27,917
Fences need to be repaired, repainted,
658
00:46:28,718 --> 00:46:31,357
and build a child's bedroom.
659
00:46:37,678 --> 00:46:39,794
Shall we have dinner, grandmother?
660
00:46:42,118 --> 00:46:44,234
They're going after Stratton today.
661
00:46:44,318 --> 00:46:45,990
He has to lose a little.
662
00:46:46,078 --> 00:46:48,069
Three victories
and the season is just starting.
663
00:46:48,158 --> 00:46:50,752
Yes, but he doesn't look good.
664
00:46:51,038 --> 00:46:52,994
Did you forget something?
665
00:46:54,158 --> 00:46:56,114
I have the impression that your mind is elsewhere.
666
00:46:56,198 --> 00:46:58,154
I should be in Chicago with Ethel.
667
00:46:58,238 --> 00:47:00,547
Are you a doctor or a pitcher?
668
00:47:04,038 --> 00:47:06,393
I hope she does better than him.
669
00:47:06,478 --> 00:47:08,548
It doesn't happen every day.
670
00:47:09,518 --> 00:47:12,669
And right now I wouldn't trade it
against no other pitcher.
671
00:47:12,758 --> 00:47:13,747
Well, well.
672
00:47:13,838 --> 00:47:15,988
This boy has a future.
673
00:47:16,998 --> 00:47:18,226
Ball in play!
674
00:47:44,038 --> 00:47:45,756
Make them drool, dad!
675
00:47:45,838 --> 00:47:47,157
It's a boy!
676
00:47:48,798 --> 00:47:49,867
What?
677
00:47:51,038 --> 00:47:52,994
Come on, dad.
678
00:47:58,878 --> 00:48:00,709
Today you are a man.
679
00:48:02,758 --> 00:48:05,067
If he looks like a referee, leave the house.
680
00:48:05,158 --> 00:48:07,626
Hey! What is going on here?
681
00:48:07,718 --> 00:48:10,107
- Ball in play!
- Of course.
682
00:48:11,758 --> 00:48:13,555
Come on, dad. Throw me one.
683
00:48:19,358 --> 00:48:20,427
Time out.
684
00:48:20,598 --> 00:48:21,713
Time out.
685
00:48:22,798 --> 00:48:25,437
Come on, dad. Cleared.
686
00:48:40,278 --> 00:48:41,552
STRATTON SELECTED ALL STAR
687
00:48:41,638 --> 00:48:44,198
- Six of each, please.
- Yes, ma'am.
688
00:48:45,558 --> 00:48:48,231
STRATTON JOINS THE ALL STARS
689
00:48:48,958 --> 00:48:50,596
That's 36 cents.
690
00:48:52,318 --> 00:48:53,637
Well done, Monty.
691
00:48:53,718 --> 00:48:57,188
What a game!
He gave them three miserable hits.
692
00:48:57,278 --> 00:48:59,553
Barney, it's not you
who won by shutout.
693
00:48:59,638 --> 00:49:03,267
He is the first pitcher in the league
to win 14 games this year.
694
00:49:03,878 --> 00:49:06,517
- You were good today, Monty.
- Thanks, Ted.
695
00:49:06,598 --> 00:49:09,032
- This is your fourth shutout.
- Yes.
696
00:49:09,838 --> 00:49:11,351
What an arm!
697
00:49:11,958 --> 00:49:14,870
Barney, take a shower and calm down.
698
00:49:16,158 --> 00:49:18,069
Hello, honey, is everything okay?
699
00:49:18,758 --> 00:49:20,430
GOOD. And Junior?
700
00:49:21,438 --> 00:49:22,507
GOOD.
701
00:49:23,278 --> 00:49:25,838
Yes, it was. 3-0.
702
00:49:26,038 --> 00:49:27,312
Honey,
703
00:49:28,478 --> 00:49:30,628
Don't wait for me for dinner.
704
00:49:30,718 --> 00:49:32,948
No, I'm going to be busy tonight.
705
00:49:33,798 --> 00:49:36,232
Another press interview.
706
00:49:36,598 --> 00:49:39,635
Another one? What interview?
707
00:49:39,758 --> 00:49:41,157
I don't know.
708
00:49:41,798 --> 00:49:43,868
No, I'm not going to be home late.
709
00:49:45,358 --> 00:49:48,350
When the country folk are slumming,
they go hard.
710
00:49:54,198 --> 00:49:55,995
We're going to go see grandma.
711
00:49:56,078 --> 00:49:59,150
She will be very surprised
when she sees you.
712
00:49:59,238 --> 00:50:00,876
You've grown so much.
713
00:50:01,958 --> 00:50:04,108
We'll see who rings the doorbell.
714
00:50:05,198 --> 00:50:06,995
- Ethel.
- Good evening, Barney.
715
00:50:07,518 --> 00:50:08,667
Junior.
716
00:50:09,478 --> 00:50:12,197
Are you ready to leave?
717
00:50:12,278 --> 00:50:13,870
Yes, as soon as Monty arrives.
718
00:50:13,958 --> 00:50:16,916
He called to say
that he would come back a little later.
719
00:50:16,998 --> 00:50:19,796
Yes, these interviews.
720
00:50:20,078 --> 00:50:22,546
But what a season he had!
721
00:50:22,638 --> 00:50:26,517
I knew he was good, but
I didn't think it would rise so quickly.
722
00:50:26,598 --> 00:50:28,987
The best right-handed pitcher
of the American League.
723
00:50:29,078 --> 00:50:31,546
- It's great, isn't it?
- Yes, Barney.
724
00:50:32,318 --> 00:50:36,106
But I'm happy that the season
ends and we return to Texas.
725
00:50:37,558 --> 00:50:38,957
Yes I know.
726
00:50:39,518 --> 00:50:41,190
You will have it all to yourself.
727
00:50:41,278 --> 00:50:43,667
Oh, I'm not complaining. We're lucky.
728
00:50:43,758 --> 00:50:45,111
- Yes.
- Of course.
729
00:50:45,198 --> 00:50:47,587
Don't you think we're lucky?
730
00:50:47,878 --> 00:50:48,913
Barney. Good evening, darling.
731
00:50:48,998 --> 00:50:49,987
- Hi.
- Hi.
732
00:50:50,078 --> 00:50:51,511
- Ready?
- I'm taking my coat.
733
00:50:51,598 --> 00:50:53,748
So son,
Are you ready to go see grandma?
734
00:50:53,838 --> 00:50:57,035
It doesn't concern me,
but what are these interview stories?
735
00:50:57,118 --> 00:50:58,995
- What?
- And these shenanigans?
736
00:50:59,518 --> 00:51:01,509
Can you carry it without dropping it?
737
00:51:01,598 --> 00:51:04,908
You can count on me,
but can we count on Junior?
738
00:51:10,198 --> 00:51:11,950
There you go, this is the last one.
739
00:51:12,038 --> 00:51:15,269
Come on, go. You have just arrived,
and you are already in the kitchen.
740
00:51:15,358 --> 00:51:17,474
- Why not? I like it.
- Really?
741
00:51:17,558 --> 00:51:20,026
Of course. I couldn't wait to get here.
742
00:51:20,118 --> 00:51:22,029
Not having fun in the city?
743
00:51:22,118 --> 00:51:24,268
I thought you had a lively life.
744
00:51:24,358 --> 00:51:26,394
Believe it or not,
I see more of Monty here
745
00:51:26,478 --> 00:51:28,116
than in Chicago.
746
00:51:28,198 --> 00:51:30,109
Lord, but why?
747
00:51:30,198 --> 00:51:33,076
The team is often on tour,
748
00:51:33,438 --> 00:51:37,909
and the rest of the time he has meetings,
interviews, speeches.
749
00:51:38,438 --> 00:51:41,555
Speeches? Monty giving speeches?
750
00:51:42,158 --> 00:51:45,753
You may not realize it
account, but your son is very famous.
751
00:51:45,838 --> 00:51:48,875
But here, we have Monty all to ourselves,
isn't that right, Junior?
752
00:51:48,958 --> 00:51:51,233
I want the baby to get used to the farm,
753
00:51:51,318 --> 00:51:53,548
so that he becomes like his dad.
754
00:51:53,638 --> 00:51:56,550
Dinner won't be ready
if we continue chatting.
755
00:51:57,198 --> 00:51:58,790
- Is dinner ready?
- Good evening.
756
00:51:58,878 --> 00:52:00,789
Hard to say, with this thing.
757
00:52:00,878 --> 00:52:04,587
I don't need to cook anymore.
I turn some knobs, and presto!
758
00:52:04,678 --> 00:52:08,557
It seems like everything has buttons.
It's not normal.
759
00:52:09,238 --> 00:52:11,468
I'm coming back from the north pasture.
760
00:52:11,798 --> 00:52:15,916
I'll have to clear it
if we want to sow in spring.
761
00:52:19,838 --> 00:52:21,874
Looks like dinner is ready.
762
00:52:24,078 --> 00:52:26,512
Plus, it's always on point.
763
00:52:28,278 --> 00:52:31,953
Baseball hasn't taken away Monty's appetite.
764
00:52:32,198 --> 00:52:35,634
baseball players
they all taste good with a fork.
765
00:52:36,078 --> 00:52:40,071
If appetite has anything to do with it
there, Junior will be a hell of a player.
766
00:52:40,598 --> 00:52:42,509
He looks a little tired, Ethel.
767
00:52:42,598 --> 00:52:44,714
I will help you first
to do the dishes.
768
00:52:44,798 --> 00:52:47,949
I don't need help
with this new gadget.
769
00:52:49,158 --> 00:52:51,388
You got dressed up, son.
770
00:52:51,478 --> 00:52:53,912
Oh, no, not an interview here!
771
00:52:53,998 --> 00:52:55,954
No, no.
I was thinking we could go out
772
00:52:56,038 --> 00:52:57,073
party.
773
00:52:57,158 --> 00:52:59,626
Junior will be six months old tomorrow...
774
00:52:59,718 --> 00:53:01,629
- Come on, go!
- Come on.
775
00:53:01,718 --> 00:53:04,278
I need to catch my breath.
It's an event.
776
00:53:04,358 --> 00:53:06,189
We never go out to Chicago.
777
00:53:06,278 --> 00:53:08,109
If you want to stay there
778
00:53:08,198 --> 00:53:10,712
to chat all evening, I go alone.
779
00:53:10,798 --> 00:53:11,833
- Good evening.
- Oh, no.
780
00:53:11,918 --> 00:53:15,228
- Hold him while I get ready.
- Hurry up!
781
00:53:15,798 --> 00:53:19,313
Wait, kid.
No left-handers in the family.
782
00:53:26,678 --> 00:53:27,952
Left-handed.
783
00:53:30,358 --> 00:53:32,110
Let's see.
784
00:53:33,158 --> 00:53:36,070
- We're going to have some champagne.
- Yes, sir.
785
00:53:39,198 --> 00:53:42,713
- Do you want to dance?
- Monty, you're acting strange.
786
00:53:42,798 --> 00:53:43,992
I find this strange
787
00:53:44,078 --> 00:53:46,672
that a man should beg his wife
to dance.
788
00:53:46,758 --> 00:53:49,511
- But you don't know how to dance.
- You like dancing, right?
789
00:53:49,598 --> 00:53:52,351
- Yes.
- So it's time for me to learn.
790
00:53:52,438 --> 00:53:54,269
Plus, I know this song well.
791
00:53:54,358 --> 00:53:55,427
Come on, come on. Come on.
792
00:53:55,518 --> 00:53:57,748
- You're going to be ridiculous.
- I'm used to it.
793
00:53:57,838 --> 00:53:59,396
Come on. Come on.
794
00:54:06,358 --> 00:54:07,950
What do I do?
795
00:54:08,278 --> 00:54:09,996
It was your idea.
796
00:54:18,078 --> 00:54:20,353
- You dance.
- Oh, it's nothing.
797
00:54:20,438 --> 00:54:23,635
- You told me you didn't know how to dance.
- It was true.
798
00:54:24,478 --> 00:54:28,596
Honey, I got tired of everyone
dance with you except me.
799
00:54:28,758 --> 00:54:31,318
Have you heard about Inez and Papanya?
800
00:54:31,518 --> 00:54:33,110
Inez and Papanya?
801
00:54:34,238 --> 00:54:37,389
Monty, you took dance lessons.
802
00:54:38,598 --> 00:54:40,907
They have schools
throughout the American League.
803
00:54:40,998 --> 00:54:43,876
Of course, we don't always have
Inez or Papanya.
804
00:54:43,958 --> 00:54:45,232
Sometimes we have...
805
00:54:45,318 --> 00:54:48,628
I remember in Detroit, I had Drusilla,
806
00:54:48,718 --> 00:54:52,154
and in Saint-Louis,
a little one called Angelita.
807
00:54:52,238 --> 00:54:53,273
In Cleveland, I had...
808
00:54:53,358 --> 00:54:56,350
So these interviews and these meetings...
809
00:55:00,318 --> 00:55:02,832
I took so many dance classes
during the season
810
00:55:02,918 --> 00:55:06,274
that it's a miracle
that I had enough strength to throw.
811
00:55:09,638 --> 00:55:12,550
I know some good steps.
Do you think you can follow me?
812
00:55:12,638 --> 00:55:14,833
- That, yes.
- All right. Here we go.
813
00:56:08,438 --> 00:56:10,554
- Come on.
- I can not move.
814
00:56:16,958 --> 00:56:18,994
I really married
a wonderful man.
815
00:56:19,078 --> 00:56:21,228
You didn't know that?
816
00:56:32,878 --> 00:56:34,311
Good morning.
817
00:56:34,398 --> 00:56:35,592
Morning?
818
00:56:35,798 --> 00:56:37,754
It was morning when you got home.
819
00:56:37,838 --> 00:56:39,749
Yes, it was late.
820
00:56:39,998 --> 00:56:41,795
It must have been 4 a.m.
821
00:56:43,038 --> 00:56:45,233
What have you been doing all this time?
822
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:46,831
- We danced.
-Danced with Monty?
823
00:56:46,918 --> 00:56:48,192
- Yes!
- Did you dance?
824
00:56:48,278 --> 00:56:49,597
That, yes. We may even
825
00:56:49,678 --> 00:56:51,953
do it again this evening. What do you think, ma’am?
826
00:56:52,038 --> 00:56:54,393
- Of course.
- Look at this.
827
00:56:54,478 --> 00:56:56,594
This is Inez and Papanya's specialty.
828
00:56:56,678 --> 00:56:57,667
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
829
00:56:57,758 --> 00:56:59,714
One, two, three, four...
830
00:56:59,958 --> 00:57:01,676
There are tricks, too.
831
00:57:01,838 --> 00:57:02,987
Another one.
832
00:57:03,078 --> 00:57:04,796
- SO? Try it, mom.
- Oh, no.
833
00:57:04,878 --> 00:57:06,550
Run. I have to prepare lunch.
834
00:57:06,638 --> 00:57:07,957
What do you want, Hap?
835
00:57:08,038 --> 00:57:10,916
You prepare lunch,
836
00:57:10,998 --> 00:57:13,592
and Hap and I,
we're going to get some rabbits.
837
00:57:13,678 --> 00:57:14,667
If the rabbits accept,
838
00:57:14,758 --> 00:57:17,192
- I don't see any problem with it.
- Hi.
839
00:58:08,718 --> 00:58:10,470
Hap, Happy, go home.
840
00:58:10,558 --> 00:58:13,868
Come home, Hap. Go get Ethel.
Come on, go home.
841
00:58:17,838 --> 00:58:19,794
Come on, Hap. Come on.
842
00:58:20,278 --> 00:58:21,870
Go back home. Come on.
843
00:58:21,958 --> 00:58:24,347
Hap. Hah, come back.
844
00:58:25,278 --> 00:58:26,916
No, Hap. Hap.
845
00:58:27,958 --> 00:58:31,314
Go back home. At home.
Go get Ethel. Go home.
846
00:58:45,838 --> 00:58:47,271
Monty is back.
847
00:58:47,958 --> 00:58:50,552
I think everything is ready.
848
00:58:57,718 --> 00:59:00,630
Happy, shut up. This dog is making a racket!
849
00:59:06,758 --> 00:59:07,952
This dog!
850
00:59:08,238 --> 00:59:09,876
Are you bringing the butter?
851
00:59:10,118 --> 00:59:11,471
Yes.
852
00:59:14,758 --> 00:59:16,350
I don't see Monty.
853
00:59:16,598 --> 00:59:17,872
Oh no?
854
00:59:19,638 --> 00:59:22,072
This dog is crazy. What do you have?
855
00:59:23,158 --> 00:59:24,989
Go back there. Come on.
856
00:59:26,198 --> 00:59:28,666
I wonder why he came home alone.
857
00:59:49,078 --> 00:59:50,227
Monty.
858
00:59:52,358 --> 00:59:54,428
Monty. Monty, what happened?
859
00:59:54,878 --> 00:59:57,153
I shot the wrong rabbit.
860
01:00:20,438 --> 01:00:23,475
There is no other solution.
It's his leg or his life.
861
01:00:24,398 --> 01:00:26,354
But his legs are his life.
862
01:00:26,438 --> 01:00:28,793
The infection spreads.
If we don't act now...
863
01:00:28,878 --> 01:00:30,357
But his leg...
864
01:00:30,838 --> 01:00:32,635
He's a baseball player.
865
01:00:32,718 --> 01:00:37,189
This is a man whose life is in danger.
We need your permission to operate.
866
01:01:26,998 --> 01:01:29,068
I came as soon as I found out.
867
01:01:29,158 --> 01:01:30,477
Oh, Barney.
868
01:01:30,918 --> 01:01:33,386
Go ahead, little one. Cry.
869
01:01:34,038 --> 01:01:37,030
- Barney, his leg.
- I know, I know.
870
01:01:42,078 --> 01:01:45,912
At least... He had some great moments.
871
01:01:48,158 --> 01:01:49,910
At least he got that.
872
01:02:08,278 --> 01:02:09,950
You must be happy to be back.
873
01:02:10,038 --> 01:02:11,107
Yes.
874
01:02:23,598 --> 01:02:25,156
Hello, little guy.
875
01:03:12,758 --> 01:03:14,191
He came home.
876
01:03:21,798 --> 01:03:23,629
He didn't see me crying.
877
01:03:27,038 --> 01:03:28,915
I have no more tears.
878
01:03:39,678 --> 01:03:41,111
Hello, Monty.
879
01:03:41,678 --> 01:03:43,157
Are you okay, mom?
880
01:03:47,798 --> 01:03:50,631
- Do you want to rest?
- Yes.
881
01:03:58,278 --> 01:04:00,838
I think I ruined everything.
882
01:04:01,798 --> 01:04:05,108
We have always been able to face our problems.
883
01:04:19,678 --> 01:04:21,236
Look at the mail.
884
01:04:21,318 --> 01:04:25,027
There must be hundreds of letters
from all over the country.
885
01:04:25,118 --> 01:04:27,427
- Do you want to watch them?
- No.
886
01:04:28,398 --> 01:04:31,515
People are kind enough to send them,
you could read them.
887
01:04:31,598 --> 01:04:34,795
If you like them so much,
you just have to read them yourself.
888
01:04:36,038 --> 01:04:39,348
What do they say?
"Merry Christmas" ? "Good year" ?
889
01:04:58,198 --> 01:05:00,712
Not enough eggs
to pay for their food.
890
01:05:01,278 --> 01:05:03,553
- They're not big, either.
- No.
891
01:05:09,278 --> 01:05:11,872
Will Monty start
to move soon?
892
01:05:12,038 --> 01:05:13,790
I try to motivate him.
893
01:05:14,398 --> 01:05:16,229
Do you think he's going to make it?
894
01:05:16,958 --> 01:05:18,516
It depends on him.
895
01:05:19,998 --> 01:05:22,831
The active man he was
would want to move.
896
01:05:24,598 --> 01:05:27,510
Will he use the leg
What did they make for him?
897
01:05:27,838 --> 01:05:29,556
I don't know, Earnie.
898
01:05:29,998 --> 01:05:33,308
Ethel does her best,
but she can't force him.
899
01:05:33,398 --> 01:05:36,595
He must first want it himself.
900
01:05:39,478 --> 01:05:42,038
I tidied up the shed.
There are all kinds of things.
901
01:05:42,118 --> 01:05:43,312
Maybe you should tell me
902
01:05:43,398 --> 01:05:45,389
what you want to keep and what you throw away.
903
01:05:45,478 --> 01:05:46,911
Throw everything away.
904
01:05:47,958 --> 01:05:51,951
I'm sure there are many things
which we don't need.
905
01:05:52,878 --> 01:05:56,427
But I told myself that maybe there were
that you wanted to keep.
906
01:05:56,518 --> 01:05:59,316
Like this ball
that all the players signed.
907
01:06:28,598 --> 01:06:29,917
I'm sorry.
908
01:06:52,238 --> 01:06:54,194
What are we going to do?
909
01:06:56,078 --> 01:06:57,989
There is nothing to do
910
01:06:58,078 --> 01:07:01,468
other than keep trying and hoping.
911
01:07:03,798 --> 01:07:06,187
But nothing interests him.
912
01:07:07,598 --> 01:07:08,917
Nor anyone.
913
01:07:09,238 --> 01:07:12,992
Everything I say, everything I do,
seems to push him further away.
914
01:07:14,398 --> 01:07:16,116
He's all alone.
915
01:07:17,398 --> 01:07:19,628
I can't reach it.
916
01:07:20,958 --> 01:07:22,186
It wouldn't be normal
917
01:07:22,278 --> 01:07:25,395
let him act as if nothing had happened.
918
01:07:26,918 --> 01:07:30,308
I know Monty.
He's having a bad time,
919
01:07:31,718 --> 01:07:34,676
but one of these days he'll get his act together.
920
01:07:36,238 --> 01:07:37,751
Do you believe?
921
01:07:38,598 --> 01:07:40,270
Do you really believe it?
922
01:07:41,598 --> 01:07:44,066
Monty is something special.
923
01:07:44,638 --> 01:07:46,993
Common sense, one might say.
924
01:07:47,918 --> 01:07:52,309
No matter what it's called,
No doctor can amputate that.
925
01:08:06,678 --> 01:08:09,431
- How's the cotton, Earnie?
- GOOD.
926
01:08:14,038 --> 01:08:16,188
How much do you think it will be?
927
01:08:16,758 --> 01:08:18,828
One bale per hectare.
928
01:08:18,998 --> 01:08:20,795
Not bad, eh, son?
929
01:08:21,158 --> 01:08:22,227
Yes.
930
01:08:26,398 --> 01:08:28,150
Sonny wants to say good night.
931
01:08:28,238 --> 01:08:29,717
Does he speak?
932
01:08:30,158 --> 01:08:33,230
Of course. Say goodnight to Uncle Earnie.
933
01:08:36,198 --> 01:08:37,233
See?
934
01:08:37,318 --> 01:08:38,353
Yes.
935
01:08:38,798 --> 01:08:40,197
What did he say?
936
01:08:40,278 --> 01:08:42,189
He said good night.
937
01:08:42,358 --> 01:08:44,872
A real chatterbox, right?
938
01:08:46,558 --> 01:08:48,469
He's quite a little guy.
939
01:08:51,478 --> 01:08:53,355
Come see Uncle Earnie.
940
01:08:54,918 --> 01:08:56,237
He took a step.
941
01:08:56,318 --> 01:08:58,274
- He's really trying to walk.
- That, yes.
942
01:08:58,358 --> 01:09:00,314
Come on, Sonny. Show us again.
943
01:09:00,398 --> 01:09:02,958
Come on, come on. Come on.
944
01:09:04,518 --> 01:09:07,316
Oh, look, Monty,
it's really starting to work.
945
01:09:07,398 --> 01:09:08,387
It's great!
946
01:09:08,478 --> 01:09:11,993
I don't see what's so great about it.
He has two legs, right?
947
01:11:29,678 --> 01:11:31,270
Look at this road.
948
01:11:31,438 --> 01:11:34,748
I walked 16 km on this road
as if it was nothing
949
01:11:34,958 --> 01:11:37,108
just to go play a match.
950
01:11:37,998 --> 01:11:41,354
I can barely reach it,
and even less do it on foot.
951
01:11:42,878 --> 01:11:46,632
And to top it all off,
I am undrinkable.
952
01:11:47,758 --> 01:11:51,956
I shouldn't have spoken like that.
I know it's already difficult for you.
953
01:11:52,118 --> 01:11:55,508
- I'm not complaining.
- No. But maybe you should.
954
01:11:55,598 --> 01:11:58,396
You can't keep all this inside.
955
01:11:59,718 --> 01:12:03,677
You told me one day:
“A man must know where he is going.”
956
01:12:06,158 --> 01:12:08,149
Where are you going, Monty?
957
01:12:08,598 --> 01:12:09,997
I don't know.
958
01:12:11,598 --> 01:12:13,634
Actually, I'm not going anywhere.
959
01:12:15,678 --> 01:12:18,272
And you said
that you couldn't disappoint me.
960
01:12:20,238 --> 01:12:22,991
And the baby, your mother, you?
961
01:12:23,638 --> 01:12:26,869
- Are you going to give up everything?
- Do you think that's what I want?
962
01:12:26,958 --> 01:12:28,550
What do you want?
963
01:12:29,678 --> 01:12:32,067
It's not clear in my mind, I...
964
01:12:32,158 --> 01:12:34,797
Before, I could do things,
but now...
965
01:12:34,878 --> 01:12:36,789
Nothing has really changed.
966
01:12:37,198 --> 01:12:39,951
You remain the man
which I have always loved.
967
01:12:42,038 --> 01:12:44,393
I lost even more than you.
968
01:12:45,598 --> 01:12:47,190
You lost your leg.
969
01:12:49,358 --> 01:12:50,950
But I lost you.
970
01:12:51,758 --> 01:12:53,032
Oh, darling,
971
01:12:54,798 --> 01:12:57,266
I am the same inside.
972
01:12:57,358 --> 01:13:00,794
I know it, darling.
That's what I tried to tell you...
973
01:13:16,038 --> 01:13:18,598
I too have something to complain about.
974
01:13:23,278 --> 01:13:26,429
These dance classes,
It was really wasted money.
975
01:13:34,918 --> 01:13:37,352
I really married
a wonderful woman.
976
01:13:37,638 --> 01:13:39,754
You didn't know that?
977
01:13:51,118 --> 01:13:53,586
We're going shopping in town.
Are you keeping the baby?
978
01:13:53,678 --> 01:13:55,748
Of course. What do you want him to do?
979
01:13:55,958 --> 01:13:57,027
Very funny.
980
01:13:57,118 --> 01:14:00,030
It's great to have a comedian
in the family.
981
01:14:11,558 --> 01:14:14,311
You're not doing it very well, kid.
982
01:14:20,198 --> 01:14:22,029
Wait, I'll show you.
983
01:14:25,998 --> 01:14:28,717
We both have work.
984
01:14:59,598 --> 01:15:01,509
Anyway, he tries.
985
01:15:05,118 --> 01:15:07,029
- Another coffee?
- No, thank you.
986
01:15:07,358 --> 01:15:10,077
- But you always take two...
- No, no.
987
01:15:31,438 --> 01:15:34,475
He will start touching everything.
988
01:15:37,158 --> 01:15:40,434
- It'll be OK.
- Come on, hop! So.
989
01:15:41,358 --> 01:15:42,393
See?
990
01:15:57,318 --> 01:16:00,230
I think Junior needs some sun.
991
01:16:02,958 --> 01:16:04,789
Come on, put his coat on him.
992
01:16:05,438 --> 01:16:06,473
Of course.
993
01:16:12,398 --> 01:16:15,754
We mustn't keep dad waiting.
Pass your little arms.
994
01:16:17,238 --> 01:16:20,389
You'll have to be good.
Please be good.
995
01:16:20,558 --> 01:16:21,673
Come on.
996
01:16:23,758 --> 01:16:26,670
Come on. Here we go.
997
01:17:00,998 --> 01:17:02,397
It's quite a mess.
998
01:17:02,478 --> 01:17:04,469
Yes, and we should
get some stuff.
999
01:17:04,558 --> 01:17:05,832
Certainly.
1000
01:17:08,758 --> 01:17:10,350
Do you want to keep this?
1001
01:17:11,518 --> 01:17:12,712
Yes.
1002
01:17:12,798 --> 01:17:14,151
All right. Keep it.
1003
01:17:14,238 --> 01:17:15,910
Put it in the box.
1004
01:17:15,998 --> 01:17:17,670
If you want to throw, let's go outside
1005
01:17:17,758 --> 01:17:19,510
- before breaking everything.
- I don't want...
1006
01:17:19,598 --> 01:17:22,192
A little exercise
will do you the greatest good.
1007
01:17:22,278 --> 01:17:24,508
Come on, let's throw some.
1008
01:17:29,758 --> 01:17:33,592
Quite a player.
I don't even see you behind the glove.
1009
01:17:55,238 --> 01:17:56,990
It's nice.
1010
01:18:09,318 --> 01:18:11,229
No, it's okay. How are you.
1011
01:18:13,398 --> 01:18:16,993
I think I know what I did
crooked. We continue.
1012
01:18:20,558 --> 01:18:22,913
This is the first time
for a receiver to kiss me.
1013
01:18:22,998 --> 01:18:24,989
Receivers don't do that?
1014
01:18:25,078 --> 01:18:27,546
In principle, no. It slows down the game.
1015
01:18:27,638 --> 01:18:30,755
Don't sit still.
Show me your famous throw.
1016
01:18:31,638 --> 01:18:33,947
Come on. Lance, Campaign.
1017
01:18:37,878 --> 01:18:39,869
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
1018
01:18:43,158 --> 01:18:44,352
You're late.
1019
01:18:44,438 --> 01:18:46,429
I was finishing clearing the north pasture.
1020
01:18:46,518 --> 01:18:48,554
Come on, you have to be good today.
1021
01:18:48,638 --> 01:18:49,832
Come on.
1022
01:18:50,878 --> 01:18:53,631
Come on. Throw it at home plate.
1023
01:18:55,398 --> 01:18:58,117
It's pretty bad. You can do better.
1024
01:18:58,198 --> 01:19:00,154
Come on, onto the marble.
1025
01:19:00,758 --> 01:19:02,828
Now, a fastball.
1026
01:19:02,918 --> 01:19:04,317
A fastball?
1027
01:19:04,638 --> 01:19:07,391
Even if I threw one,
what would you do with it?
1028
01:19:07,478 --> 01:19:11,471
Launch it and you'll see.
Come on, onto the marble. Come on.
1029
01:19:12,478 --> 01:19:16,266
You call that a fastball?
She was more so a month ago.
1030
01:19:16,358 --> 01:19:19,077
You risk getting decapitated.
1031
01:19:19,158 --> 01:19:23,356
Don't argue with the receiver.
When I say fast, I mean fast.
1032
01:19:28,998 --> 01:19:32,070
Come on. Go ahead and throw it at home plate.
1033
01:19:33,478 --> 01:19:34,467
All right.
1034
01:19:34,558 --> 01:19:36,037
Right there.
1035
01:19:42,518 --> 01:19:45,954
- Honey, did you hurt yourself?
- No, no, it's okay.
1036
01:19:46,838 --> 01:19:49,477
But you just lost your receiver.
1037
01:19:50,158 --> 01:19:52,513
No receiver had abandoned me.
1038
01:19:52,598 --> 01:19:55,874
You never had a receiver
who was expecting a baby.
1039
01:19:57,798 --> 01:19:58,833
What?
1040
01:20:02,758 --> 01:20:06,512
Come on, Hap. Hurry up.
You're slowing down the game. That's it.
1041
01:20:06,798 --> 01:20:08,197
Good dog.
1042
01:20:17,078 --> 01:20:19,512
Can I invite myself to dinner?
1043
01:20:19,718 --> 01:20:20,867
Barney.
1044
01:20:22,518 --> 01:20:25,476
- Ethel.
- I'm so happy to see you.
1045
01:20:26,158 --> 01:20:27,511
I'm on my way to Houston.
1046
01:20:27,598 --> 01:20:30,510
And I take the opportunity to visit
to my children.
1047
01:20:32,198 --> 01:20:34,109
The most beautiful in Texas.
1048
01:20:34,198 --> 01:20:36,996
You see too many baseball players.
1049
01:20:37,798 --> 01:20:40,835
Oh, no. I can't believe it.
1050
01:20:41,758 --> 01:20:45,307
Junior, come see Uncle Barney.
1051
01:20:48,198 --> 01:20:50,792
- How's Monty?
- He's doing very well.
1052
01:20:52,558 --> 01:20:53,991
What is this?
1053
01:20:54,078 --> 01:20:56,672
You will have to get used to it
if you plan to stay.
1054
01:20:56,758 --> 01:21:00,546
Don't worry,
I don't intend to spend the winter here.
1055
01:21:00,638 --> 01:21:01,957
Oh, come on.
1056
01:21:04,038 --> 01:21:05,153
But...
1057
01:21:10,958 --> 01:21:14,746
Come on, Happy. Nerve! So. Good dog.
1058
01:21:18,558 --> 01:21:21,197
What's going on here?
1059
01:21:21,518 --> 01:21:23,952
Come on. That's good, Hap.
1060
01:21:24,678 --> 01:21:26,987
You understood everything.
1061
01:21:28,638 --> 01:21:31,357
Show me what you can do,
Campaign.
1062
01:21:31,558 --> 01:21:34,436
Barney, you old scoundrel!
1063
01:21:34,838 --> 01:21:36,669
How are you? What are you doing here?
1064
01:21:36,758 --> 01:21:40,114
I'm going to recruit at the All Stars game
in Houston.
1065
01:21:40,198 --> 01:21:41,392
Oh, I see.
1066
01:21:41,478 --> 01:21:43,867
You look in good shape.
1067
01:21:44,598 --> 01:21:47,032
No need to ask how things are going.
1068
01:21:47,118 --> 01:21:48,995
I'm not complaining, Barn.
1069
01:21:49,438 --> 01:21:52,714
- Hey, bag thief!
- We have to watch her.
1070
01:21:52,918 --> 01:21:54,590
Are you going to stay a while, Barney?
1071
01:21:54,678 --> 01:21:57,351
- If I'm forced, I can stay tonight.
- We're forcing you.
1072
01:21:57,438 --> 01:21:59,030
- The mail.
- Thanks, Earnie.
1073
01:21:59,118 --> 01:22:02,667
- Hello, Mr. Wile.
- Are you okay, Earnie? You look good.
1074
01:22:02,838 --> 01:22:06,547
Beautiful costume. Oh, yes, really chic.
1075
01:22:07,958 --> 01:22:10,426
He has conversation.
1076
01:22:11,398 --> 01:22:13,787
- So, Monty?
- This is from Josh Higgins.
1077
01:22:13,878 --> 01:22:17,109
He coaches one of the All Star teams
where Barney will recruit.
1078
01:22:17,198 --> 01:22:20,429
He wants me to come watch the match.
What do you say, darling?
1079
01:22:20,798 --> 01:22:21,913
If you want to go there.
1080
01:22:21,998 --> 01:22:23,716
Why not? If Barney goes...
1081
01:22:23,798 --> 01:22:26,392
Of course, it's a good idea.
We will all go together.
1082
01:22:26,478 --> 01:22:28,070
- Yes.
- Like old times.
1083
01:22:28,158 --> 01:22:31,992
Maybe mom will want
to come too. Might as well do it well.
1084
01:22:35,958 --> 01:22:38,392
You have worked miracles, Ethel.
1085
01:22:39,078 --> 01:22:42,753
- He made them himself.
- No, he wouldn't be here without you.
1086
01:22:43,878 --> 01:22:47,587
Barney, I don't know
if he should go see this match.
1087
01:22:47,878 --> 01:22:49,630
It might bring back memories.
1088
01:22:49,718 --> 01:22:51,515
Sooner or later,
1089
01:22:51,598 --> 01:22:54,032
he will have to understand
that he is no longer a player,
1090
01:22:54,118 --> 01:22:55,710
but a spectator.
1091
01:22:56,678 --> 01:22:59,715
It can't hurt him
to watch a match.
1092
01:23:01,038 --> 01:23:02,596
No, you're right.
1093
01:23:05,878 --> 01:23:07,709
- Glad we're all going.
- Yes.
1094
01:23:07,798 --> 01:23:09,550
- It will be good.
- Yes.
1095
01:23:10,558 --> 01:23:12,037
POST-SEASON ALL STAR GAME!
1096
01:23:12,118 --> 01:23:14,632
ALL STARS of the South
against ALL STARS of the West
1097
01:23:17,198 --> 01:23:18,677
230 is here.
1098
01:23:21,878 --> 01:23:24,108
I'm going to go say hello to the guys.
1099
01:23:24,198 --> 01:23:26,758
- Good idea. I'm going with you.
- You should rather...
1100
01:23:26,838 --> 01:23:28,430
Come on, don't just stand there and talk,
1101
01:23:28,518 --> 01:23:29,871
you will delay the match.
1102
01:23:29,958 --> 01:23:32,188
You would have made a good referee.
1103
01:23:35,398 --> 01:23:36,877
He throws good butterfly balls.
Good pitcher.
1104
01:23:36,958 --> 01:23:38,152
- Left-handed.
-Hey, Matt.
1105
01:23:38,238 --> 01:23:39,557
How are you?
1106
01:23:40,998 --> 01:23:42,477
- Hello, Monty.
- Hi.
1107
01:23:42,558 --> 01:23:44,549
Hey Wally, give me a squeeze.
1108
01:23:44,638 --> 01:23:45,957
What are you doing here?
1109
01:23:46,038 --> 01:23:47,790
Hello, Chuck. You better be good.
1110
01:23:47,878 --> 01:23:49,914
I spoke to the referee and the coach.
1111
01:23:49,998 --> 01:23:52,592
If you hit a hit,
you go to first base alone.
1112
01:23:52,678 --> 01:23:54,316
Afterwards, we will send a runner.
1113
01:23:54,398 --> 01:23:55,433
All right.
1114
01:23:55,518 --> 01:23:58,032
These Western guys want to win.
1115
01:23:58,118 --> 01:23:59,392
They won't give any quarter.
1116
01:23:59,478 --> 01:24:02,231
This is what I want. Real baseball.
1117
01:24:02,318 --> 01:24:03,546
Good luck.
1118
01:24:03,958 --> 01:24:05,073
Monty.
1119
01:24:06,078 --> 01:24:09,627
This is high-level baseball.
There are large sums at stake.
1120
01:24:09,718 --> 01:24:11,629
- They will be merciless.
- I know.
1121
01:24:11,718 --> 01:24:14,630
That's why I wrote to Josh
to ask him to play.
1122
01:24:14,718 --> 01:24:18,108
The less pity they will have,
the better I know what to expect.
1123
01:24:19,278 --> 01:24:21,394
I don't worry about your arm,
1124
01:24:21,478 --> 01:24:24,390
but you don't just throw with your arm.
1125
01:24:24,478 --> 01:24:27,948
I know what you're thinking.
I don't even have a knee.
1126
01:24:28,358 --> 01:24:31,873
But I have to play a match,
I need to know.
1127
01:24:33,038 --> 01:24:34,630
I understand, son.
1128
01:24:39,238 --> 01:24:42,310
What if they do cushioning?
1129
01:24:42,398 --> 01:24:44,912
- How are you going to do it? It is...
- I know, I know.
1130
01:24:44,998 --> 01:24:47,876
I will notify in due time.
1131
01:24:49,558 --> 01:24:53,392
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Here are the batteries from today's match.
1132
01:24:53,478 --> 01:24:56,675
For the Western All Stars,
Gene Bearden, pitcher,
1133
01:24:56,758 --> 01:24:58,316
Partee, catcher.
1134
01:24:58,718 --> 01:25:01,630
For the All Stars of the South,
Milliken, catcher.
1135
01:25:01,798 --> 01:25:05,552
And for his first match back,
Monty Stratton, pitcher.
1136
01:25:12,998 --> 01:25:16,274
LOCKER ROOMS
1137
01:25:16,358 --> 01:25:19,316
- Ethel.
- Please don't try to hold me back.
1138
01:25:30,998 --> 01:25:34,832
- Why didn't you tell me about it?
- I wanted to surprise you.
1139
01:25:35,438 --> 01:25:37,429
I was getting back on track,
1140
01:25:37,518 --> 01:25:39,827
I was enthusiastic, and I...
1141
01:25:40,318 --> 01:25:42,070
But now I'm afraid.
1142
01:25:42,438 --> 01:25:44,827
Fear? Afraid of what?
1143
01:25:45,438 --> 01:25:48,555
- You have already been defeated.
- There, it's different.
1144
01:25:49,198 --> 01:25:52,474
I keep telling myself
that I am like the others,
1145
01:25:52,558 --> 01:25:54,708
but I wanted to prove it. Prove it to you.
1146
01:25:54,798 --> 01:25:57,312
You have nothing to prove to me, darling.
1147
01:25:57,398 --> 01:26:00,276
Maybe I don't have to,
but I wanted to do it.
1148
01:26:00,358 --> 01:26:02,553
But I can't do it.
1149
01:26:02,758 --> 01:26:05,511
Monty, I came to stop you.
1150
01:26:06,278 --> 01:26:08,508
I was as scared as you.
1151
01:26:08,958 --> 01:26:12,268
But you can't go back anymore.
It won't solve anything.
1152
01:26:12,358 --> 01:26:14,189
You are a baseball player.
1153
01:26:14,718 --> 01:26:16,117
I was.
1154
01:26:16,758 --> 01:26:20,353
You still are,
otherwise you wouldn't have gone this far.
1155
01:26:21,758 --> 01:26:25,387
It's not because we say
that I am a player that I am one.
1156
01:26:25,478 --> 01:26:27,434
So, let's find out.
1157
01:26:28,958 --> 01:26:31,347
I might not like it
what I will discover.
1158
01:26:31,438 --> 01:26:33,554
Would you rather stop trying?
1159
01:26:41,838 --> 01:26:43,510
Good luck, darling.
1160
01:26:49,598 --> 01:26:51,031
Do I look good?
1161
01:26:52,238 --> 01:26:53,910
You are perfect.
1162
01:27:39,638 --> 01:27:40,866
Monty! Monty!
1163
01:28:00,678 --> 01:28:04,227
Yes. See how they encourage it?
1164
01:28:04,518 --> 01:28:07,078
- Was that your idea?
- No, I...
1165
01:28:07,158 --> 01:28:09,194
He wanted to surprise us.
1166
01:28:11,238 --> 01:28:13,593
Stratton is on the mound, warming up.
1167
01:28:13,678 --> 01:28:15,236
This is a big moment for Monty.
1168
01:28:15,318 --> 01:28:16,956
Before this unfortunate accident,
1169
01:28:17,038 --> 01:28:19,677
he was the best right-handed pitcher
of the American League.
1170
01:28:19,758 --> 01:28:22,113
This attempt at return
must be quite a challenge.
1171
01:28:22,198 --> 01:28:23,517
Ball in play!
1172
01:28:25,878 --> 01:28:27,630
Come on, Monty, go ahead.
1173
01:28:28,798 --> 01:28:31,107
Don't give up, Monty. Come on.
1174
01:28:31,198 --> 01:28:33,473
Go ahead, Monty. Shoot him, Monty.
1175
01:28:33,558 --> 01:28:34,957
Come on.
1176
01:28:35,158 --> 01:28:36,477
Come on, launch.
1177
01:28:36,558 --> 01:28:37,877
Lance, Monty.
1178
01:28:46,638 --> 01:28:48,356
Come back. Come back.
1179
01:28:53,238 --> 01:28:54,671
Come on.
1180
01:28:57,798 --> 01:28:58,867
Ball in play.
1181
01:28:58,958 --> 01:29:00,630
Come on, Monty. Go ahead.
1182
01:29:00,718 --> 01:29:03,755
Come on. Don't pay any attention to him, Monty.
Go ahead.
1183
01:29:07,398 --> 01:29:08,387
Quickly.
1184
01:29:10,318 --> 01:29:12,149
Come back. Come on.
1185
01:29:15,078 --> 01:29:18,150
It's off to a bad start for Stratton.
Two hits in a row.
1186
01:29:18,238 --> 01:29:21,753
Zarilla at 1st base. Beringhele in 2nd.
Messner, next drummer.
1187
01:29:37,038 --> 01:29:38,949
Quickly! Come on.
1188
01:29:40,238 --> 01:29:43,071
Both runners advance one base
after the catch.
1189
01:29:43,158 --> 01:29:45,114
Runners on second and third bases.
1190
01:29:45,198 --> 01:29:47,348
They hit everything he throws.
1191
01:29:49,318 --> 01:29:50,546
Tell Fred to warm up.
1192
01:29:50,638 --> 01:29:52,071
Fred, warm up.
1193
01:29:59,198 --> 01:30:01,917
Dobernic goes to the warm-up track.
1194
01:30:17,198 --> 01:30:18,711
- Except!
- Except!
1195
01:30:18,878 --> 01:30:23,030
Except everywhere. The infield hit
by Ed Stewart secures the first point.
1196
01:30:23,118 --> 01:30:25,109
Stratton is in bad shape.
1197
01:30:25,198 --> 01:30:28,554
One point, one indent,
players on first and third base.
1198
01:30:29,118 --> 01:30:31,268
He will pull himself together.
1199
01:30:49,118 --> 01:30:50,870
Come back. Come on, run.
1200
01:30:50,958 --> 01:30:51,993
Except!
1201
01:30:52,718 --> 01:30:55,516
Another sensational catch
by Maddern for the 2nd out.
1202
01:30:55,598 --> 01:30:58,112
Its speed
keeps the runner on 3rd base.
1203
01:31:05,478 --> 01:31:08,151
Wait. Higgins heads
towards the mound.
1204
01:31:08,238 --> 01:31:10,468
This may be the end for Stratton.
1205
01:31:10,558 --> 01:31:12,628
Is he going to release it, Barney?
1206
01:31:13,278 --> 01:31:14,870
How are you feeling, Monty?
1207
01:31:14,958 --> 01:31:17,552
I can't get any spin on the ball.
1208
01:31:18,558 --> 01:31:21,277
The outfield players will burn out
if this continues.
1209
01:31:21,358 --> 01:31:23,394
Don't worry. They are all with you.
1210
01:31:23,478 --> 01:31:26,311
Relax, Monty.
It's a match like any other.
1211
01:31:26,398 --> 01:31:28,354
Make them play your way.
1212
01:31:36,238 --> 01:31:38,877
Bockman is the next drummer
to go to the plate.
1213
01:31:38,958 --> 01:31:42,030
- Players on 1st and 3rd bases. Two outs.
- Drummer!
1214
01:31:51,198 --> 01:31:52,313
Socket!
1215
01:32:04,158 --> 01:32:05,432
Second take!
1216
01:32:12,958 --> 01:32:15,392
Come on, Monty. You can make it happen.
1217
01:32:20,758 --> 01:32:22,396
Third take!
1218
01:32:28,998 --> 01:32:30,511
Well done, Monty. Well done.
1219
01:32:30,598 --> 01:32:32,475
- Well done.
- How are you?
1220
01:32:34,158 --> 01:32:36,752
- Come on, Jerry, go ahead.
- Yes.
1221
01:32:37,158 --> 01:32:39,308
WEST - SOUTH
1222
01:32:53,478 --> 01:32:54,797
Ball in play!
1223
01:32:58,638 --> 01:33:00,151
Come on, Monty.
1224
01:33:06,718 --> 01:33:07,912
Socket!
1225
01:33:43,718 --> 01:33:45,834
Come on. Hit her!
1226
01:34:03,878 --> 01:34:06,312
I started my slide too early.
1227
01:34:08,638 --> 01:34:10,037
It doesn't matter.
1228
01:34:14,398 --> 01:34:16,548
It's Bearden's now.
Two hits.
1229
01:34:16,638 --> 01:34:19,391
Come on, Eddie. Quickly. Dive. Dive.
1230
01:34:23,478 --> 01:34:25,036
Duel of the pitchers from the start,
1231
01:34:25,118 --> 01:34:28,394
but the All Stars of the South
have two runners on and two outs.
1232
01:34:28,478 --> 01:34:30,389
And Milliken, an excellent drummer, arrives.
1233
01:34:30,478 --> 01:34:33,868
They need a withdrawal.
This may be their last chance.
1234
01:34:36,238 --> 01:34:38,069
This guy is good at batting.
1235
01:34:38,598 --> 01:34:41,476
We give it a basis
and we take care of Stratton.
1236
01:34:41,918 --> 01:34:42,987
All right.
1237
01:34:49,878 --> 01:34:51,027
Off target!
1238
01:34:51,518 --> 01:34:54,590
Barney, they're going to give him a base
to get Monty.
1239
01:34:54,878 --> 01:34:56,789
Yes. That's baseball.
1240
01:34:59,358 --> 01:35:00,871
Second off target!
1241
01:35:06,398 --> 01:35:07,911
Third off-target!
1242
01:35:12,998 --> 01:35:14,556
Fourth off target!
1243
01:35:16,758 --> 01:35:20,831
An emergency drummer for Stratton,
with full bases and two indents.
1244
01:35:21,398 --> 01:35:24,435
If it were up to me,
I'll let you finish the match,
1245
01:35:24,518 --> 01:35:27,316
but the stakes are high for these guys.
1246
01:35:28,918 --> 01:35:30,112
I can have them marked.
1247
01:35:30,198 --> 01:35:31,631
I'd like to see you do it,
1248
01:35:31,718 --> 01:35:36,030
but we are one point behind and the bases
full. An emergency drummer is needed.
1249
01:35:40,238 --> 01:35:41,387
Go ahead, Monty.
1250
01:35:41,478 --> 01:35:43,946
- Come on, Monty.
- You can do it.
1251
01:35:44,318 --> 01:35:46,070
Come on, Monty. Go ahead.
1252
01:35:46,158 --> 01:35:48,149
- Go ahead, Monty.
- Show them.
1253
01:35:55,918 --> 01:35:58,432
No, wait. Wait. This is Stratton.
1254
01:35:58,518 --> 01:35:59,997
They don't release it.
1255
01:36:00,078 --> 01:36:03,866
It's not the best strategy,
but they give Monty a chance.
1256
01:36:03,958 --> 01:36:06,552
Listen to the crowd. She is really with him.
1257
01:36:25,558 --> 01:36:27,276
Come on, Bearden, nail him.
1258
01:36:37,438 --> 01:36:39,156
First throw off target!
1259
01:36:48,958 --> 01:36:50,107
Socket!
1260
01:37:00,558 --> 01:37:02,867
Focus, Monty. Come on.
1261
01:37:26,278 --> 01:37:27,836
Nice shot, Monty.
1262
01:37:33,278 --> 01:37:35,951
You gave us a point lead.
Keep it up.
1263
01:37:36,038 --> 01:37:38,074
- Nice shot, Monty.
- Well done.
1264
01:37:40,318 --> 01:37:41,876
Al, Stevie.
1265
01:37:42,638 --> 01:37:45,391
I don't like doing this,
but we have no choice.
1266
01:37:45,678 --> 01:37:46,827
We take out the cushioning.
1267
01:37:46,918 --> 01:37:48,909
Good. Go for it.
1268
01:37:58,558 --> 01:37:59,786
Come on, Monty.
1269
01:37:59,878 --> 01:38:02,233
Shoot him, Monty. Come on.
1270
01:38:05,118 --> 01:38:06,517
Go ahead.
1271
01:38:10,878 --> 01:38:12,550
- Quickly.
- Except!
1272
01:38:38,998 --> 01:38:40,067
Except!
1273
01:38:40,958 --> 01:38:43,791
It looks bad. Two on base.
No withdrawal.
1274
01:38:43,878 --> 01:38:45,675
They chain the drop shots.
1275
01:38:45,758 --> 01:38:48,113
Unfortunately,
There's nothing Stratton can do about it.
1276
01:38:48,198 --> 01:38:50,837
Milliken, the receiver, will talk to him.
1277
01:38:50,918 --> 01:38:54,194
Looks like it's their game, Monty.
What are we going to do?
1278
01:38:54,278 --> 01:38:57,111
I need to get off the mound
faster, that's all.
1279
01:38:57,198 --> 01:38:59,393
- I'll get there.
- All right.
1280
01:39:00,238 --> 01:39:01,557
Ball in play!
1281
01:39:04,158 --> 01:39:06,194
Good! Drummer!
1282
01:39:09,678 --> 01:39:10,747
Monty.
1283
01:39:19,358 --> 01:39:22,714
He took off from the mound throwing
and he retired the player at 1st base.
1284
01:39:22,798 --> 01:39:24,231
But it is not won.
1285
01:39:24,318 --> 01:39:27,674
The runners reached 2nd and 3rd bases.
Only one withdrawal.
1286
01:39:27,838 --> 01:39:29,191
Hey, Eddie.
1287
01:39:29,878 --> 01:39:32,950
He's getting too comfortable on the field. Go ahead.
1288
01:39:40,278 --> 01:39:41,552
Ball in play!
1289
01:39:45,758 --> 01:39:46,952
Socket!
1290
01:39:47,478 --> 01:39:50,868
They regain the upper hand,
but any sure shot will do.
1291
01:39:50,958 --> 01:39:53,472
Even a candle will do.
1292
01:40:00,438 --> 01:40:01,712
Second take!
1293
01:40:06,758 --> 01:40:08,749
Another one! Just one more, Monty.
1294
01:40:11,878 --> 01:40:14,153
Third take! Removed!
1295
01:40:15,798 --> 01:40:18,995
And Bockman darted for a catch
and the second withdrawal.
1296
01:40:19,078 --> 01:40:21,638
The next one will perhaps be decisive
for Monty.
1297
01:40:21,718 --> 01:40:22,867
Look who's coming.
1298
01:40:22,958 --> 01:40:26,109
The best batsman in the league,
the great Johnny Lindell.
1299
01:40:34,038 --> 01:40:36,347
Come on, Monty. Shoot him, Monty.
1300
01:40:36,438 --> 01:40:37,837
Come on.
1301
01:40:44,278 --> 01:40:45,597
Removed!
1302
01:40:54,758 --> 01:40:57,556
Monty Stratton not only
won a match.
1303
01:40:57,798 --> 01:40:59,629
He won a greater victory.
1304
01:40:59,718 --> 01:41:04,075
While he throws, while he wins,
and that he leads a full life,
1305
01:41:04,558 --> 01:41:07,118
he sets himself up as a model for us all.
1306
01:41:07,198 --> 01:41:09,632
He is living proof
of what a man can do
1307
01:41:09,718 --> 01:41:12,596
if he has the courage and determination
1308
01:41:12,678 --> 01:41:14,714
to refuse defeat.
1309
01:41:22,958 --> 01:41:27,634
End
1310
01:41:51,798 --> 01:41:53,436
We would like to thank
1311
01:41:53,518 --> 01:41:56,828
the world of baseball,
managers, clubs, players,
1312
01:41:56,918 --> 01:42:00,308
and especially Monty's old team
Stratton, Chicago White Sox
1313
01:42:00,398 --> 01:42:02,832
for their generous and sincere cooperation
1314
01:42:02,918 --> 01:42:05,227
during the filming of
“A Man Changes His Destiny”
