[ gunfire on TV ]

Hey, you guys,

that happens to be my father's
good chess set

you're throwing
all over the living room.

Can't you be more careful
with that stuff?

Do you know what
he'd do if he came home

and found these
all over the place?

Would you please
keep these on the--

Engelberg, get away from my
refrigerator, how many times--

You call that a refrigerator?Yes.

There's nothing here
to eat.

This is the part
where William Bendix gets it.

Gets him sick every time.

William Bendix survives in this.

Anthony Quinn is the one
who gets it.

MAN [ on TV ]:
This is Joseph Blane,
reporting from Tokyo, Japan.

We are here with the Japanese
junior baseball champions.

Hey! Hey, guys!

Hey, guys,
the Japanese champions!

So our correspondent in Japan
asked the Japanese boys

and their coach
what they thought of

the American refusal.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

TRANSLATOR:
We were surprised
and a bit hurt.

It was simply a gesture of
sportsmanship on our part.

One of the reasons the U.S.
gave for not coming

was because they say
we're too competitive.

Why aren't we sending a team?

Well, the Orientals
have beaten us

nine out of the last 11 times
we've played them.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

What did that little creep say?

TRANSLATOR:
I think they're just plain
chicken.

[ men chattering on TV ]

MAN 1 [ on TV ]:
See you guys in Tokyo!

Okay!
We'll make a wish for you.

[ "Marine's Hymn"
playing on TV ]

HAHN [ on TV ]:
Good morning, everybody

and welcome to
The Sunshine Show.

Our guests are
a group of young ball players

trying to get to Japan.
Good morning, fellas.

BOY 1:
Thanks for answering
our letter.

HAHN:
You know, by going to Japan

you'd be going
against the wishes

of your national organization.
Why do you want to go?

BOY 1:
It's mainly guidance
of the Holy Spirit.

HAHN:
What?

E.R.W.:
We feel that an American team

should represent themselves
in Japan.

And plus, we ain't no cowards
and there ain't no

mother [BLEEP] nip
gonna stand in our way.

HAHN: What did he say?BOY 2: Engelberg!

HAHN:
I don't think you can say that
at 6:00 in the morning.

E.R.W:
Also we feel that if
an American team didn't go,

it would really strain
relations

between otherwise friendly
nations.

What makes you boys think
that you're

a truly representative team
of the United States?

MARGE [ on phone ]:
Service.

Marge, it's Marvin.
Any messages?

A bunch.
Where have you been?

I've been casting till 5
in the morning. What's up?

MARGE: Got a pencil, Marv?MARVIN: I got a memory.

What's going on? Come on.

MARGE:
Louis called from Las Vegas.

He wants his $75,000 or you'll
never work in this town again.

Seventy-five thousand

or otherwise
he'll break your legs.

Good. Oh, by the way,

your alimony checks are due
for March, April and May.

But where is the money
coming from?

E.R.W.:
Mainly by saving and borrowing

is how we're gonna pay
for the trip.

But we're in no way above
accepting donations.

Ha, you and me both, kid.

MARGE: What?No, not you, Marge.

Anything else, my dear?

MARGE:
You owe the answering service
82.50.

Wonderful. Charge it to me.

BOY 3:
Hey, listen, we beat a pretty
powerhouse team.

Probably the best
in the country.

HAHN:
You've got a good team
all right,

but our findings show that

you're just a second-place team
from Van Nuys.

Oh, my...

BOY 3:
Good for your findings.

[ muttering ]

E.R.W.:
Give your money to Bears,
PO Box 1941.

[ groans ]

BOY 3:
We got that from Pearl Harbor,
1941.

E.R.W.:
A lot of money will go mainly
for inoculation.

Oh, loopy.

What a client.

Oh, I could've bought Roots

if I'd read the manuscript.

What a life.

Kids, baseball. Ha-ha-ha.

[ muttering ]

They're going to Japan
to play the Japanese.

So stupid, these kids.

ENGELBERG:
There must be a lot of people
who want to see

at least somebody defend
the national pastime.

Ja--

BOY 2:
We're the only ones
willing to go.

Would you please page
Marvin P. Lazar? Thank you.

There's
your big number, huh?

That's it.A bunch of kids.

Right. A bunch of ragamuffin,
American kids

go to Tokyo, Japan to defend
the national pastime.

Isn't that a natural?
I'm talking national television,

It's gonna be beamed by
satellite. I tell you,

I've been waiting for something
like this for years.

It's a natural.
Louis, all I want from you

is 10 grand. Ten thousand
gives you 25 percent.

Twenty-five percent
of the entire package.

What do you say, Louis?
What do you say?

I ain't putting up nothing,
Marvin.

What did you say?

You owe me
on a bunch of horses

that still haven't
crossed the finish line

Yeah, we'll I'll--I want it by Friday.

Friday? I can't come up with
money like that by Friday.

Paging Marvin P. Lazar.

Paging Marvin P. Lazar.

Well, who am I gonna page?
Somebody I don't know?

[ boys chattering ]

Are you boys
looking for someone?

[ boys chattering ]

It's all right, ma'am,
they're with me.

How do you do?
Are you with the Bears?

Yeah.This the Bears?

Right.
Come on in, fellas.

I got us a nice,
big center table.

How do you do?
Nice to see you.

Make yourselves at home.
How do you do?

Make yourself at home.
Stay off my feet.

Yes, please.
Sit down, fellas.

There you are.
Make yourself comfortable.

Right, my name is Marvin Lazar
and welcome to showbiz.

Now, who is it that I've been
speaking to on the phone,

E.R.W. Tillyard III?

Uh, that's me, Mr. Lazar.

Oh, yes, well, please
don't call me Mr. Lazar.

Marvin's my name.
Everybody calls me Marvin.

Forgive me for getting
right to the point, Marvin,

but you've already raised
the money for our trip to Japan?

I have? Oh, yes, I have.
Of course I have.

Good.MARVIN: Now for the boring part.

Contracts. Now, your folks
have seen all of these.

These are, in effect,

agreements between me
as your promoter,

and you, as the ballplayers.

As you know, your parents
all agree with everything

that's been brought up
in these contracts.

Because I want you guys to know
everything that we do together

will always be
on the up-and-up, got it?

Okay. Oh, waitress?

My dear, please,
menus for the boys

and they can order their lunch.
Wonderful things here.

Nothing more than a buck and
a half, only butter sandwiches.

Ha, ha. I'm only joking.

WAITRESS: What would you like?Uh, filet mignon.

Filet mignon?WAITRESS: Filet mignon.

What's the biggest steak
you got?

Uh, 16-ounce porterhouse.

It's a little heavy for lunch,
isn't it?

Try something lighter,
like tuna fish.

[ boys chattering ]

Fresh cracked crab, please.

Crabs. What crabs?
Oh, crab.

Yeah, fresh cracked crabs.
Right here.

[ all chattering ]

Wait a second. What, uh...
What happened to my drink?

[ lounge music
playing over speakers ]

Saw you on Kojak
the other night.

You were really good.

Would you like
a cigarette?

Go ahead.

Got a whole pack.

I'm telling you, guys,
I could promote you guys

so good that everybody
in the country

will know all about
the nine of you.

Ten.Nine.

Ten!When did they change the rules?

Mustapha.What's a Mustapha?

My little brother's gotta go
and that makes ten.

No, no, no.
I'm sorry. I mean,

I wasn't prepared for ten.
Nine, yes, ten, no.

I mean,
I gotta come with extra--

Where is he?
He's not here, is he?

He's probably
under a table somewhere.

Under a table?

What are you talking about?

What are you doing there?

Eating this big, old roll.

Come on,
get out of there.

Ah! Look how small
he is.

Isn't he a little small
for baseball?

My mother works
and I'm supposed to watch him.

Well, why don't you
send him to daycare?

No way!

What have you
got against daycare?

You like daycare?I love daycare.

Then you go to daycare.I haven't got time.

Hey, if he don't go,
I don't go.

Excuse me, Marvin.Yeah, what is it?

Marvin, it says here
in the contract,

Wait just a minute, yes.

That we each get 2 and a half
percent of profits?

Yes, 2 and half.
Everybody gets 2 and a half.

Well, it should be 5.What, 5?

What?
John Wayne don't get 5.

Five. Are you crazy?

You guys, I think
we ought to go now.

Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.

Calm down, everybody,
will you? Just take it easy.

Just... Ahem.

Maybe I'm a little out of line
on the 2 and a half percent.

Why don't we make it, uh, 3?

Four and a half.Four?

[ upbeat theme playing]

Look, fellas,
a welcoming committee.

Come on, guys, give them
a little smile. Come on.

Coach Shimizu?

Marvin Lazar,
it's a pleasure to meet you.

[ speaks in Japanese ]Thank you.

[ both chuckle ]

Wife.Oh, the wife.

The old ball and chain,
huh? Ha, ha.

Ha, ha.
Welcome to Japan.

Thank you so much.
It's a pleasure to be here.

Oh, for me?
How kind of you.

Oh, what a beautiful outfit.

Oh, divine.
Look at that, guys.

Oh, that's an obi I think
they call it, right?

And look at these guys.
Don't they look great?

These are the Bears,
all excited and ready to go.

The excitement
in America is tremendous.

Everybody's waiting
for the game, yes.

[ speaks in Japanese ]Thank you, so much.

These, I take it,
are the gentlemen of the press.

[ chattering in Japanese ]

[ speaks in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

Oh, yeah?

[ boys shouting ]

Hold on.

[ all shouting ]MARVIN: Break it up.

Will you guys break it up?
We're strangers here.

Come on,
will you stop it?

What are you fighting over?

Now will you wait a minute?
Hold it.

Come here.

What happened?

I'm a very sensitive person
is what happened.

Where are those
California smiles?

Come on, let's go.

Come on, give 'em
a little smile.

Just a little smile.Shut up!

[ upbeat theme playing]

[ traditional Japanese music
playing ]

[ speaks in Japanese ]

Tillyard.

Tillyard III!

You booked us into
a Japanese restaurant.

Why'd you change
the reservation?

I had us all set up
at the Hilton!

First, Marvin, calm down.Calm down.

We can stay at Hiltons
anywhere.

There are cultural aspects to
this trip as well as business.

Yeah, cultural aspects.
I can appreciate.

[ women speaking in Japanese ]I guess you didn't book us in.

Marvin, at a Japanese yokan

you have to take off your shoes
before you go in.

I know that. I know you're
supposed to take off your shoes.

All right, guys,
take off your shoes.

Can we take them to our rooms?How do I know?

Do I look Japanese?

What do I do about
the tennis shoes in my bag?

Put 'em in your purse.What?

Marvin, if I take off my shoes
I'm gonna get athlete's foot.

Well, that'll be the only part
of you that is an athlete.

Come on, you guys, let's go.
Will you? Come on.

Come on, follow the ladies.Welcome.

I have two cards here please.

If you'll put my hotel
on the Diners Club

and all phone calls
on Bank America. Thank you.

I'm a three-phone man,
not a one-phone man.

And I can't go through
your switchboard.

No, no. And another thing,

will you please
come up with some furniture?

This stuff is so Mickey Mouse,
there's no place to sit down.

What? And another thing,

I ordered bedrooms.
I got boys with me.

I don't see any beds.

Where do you keep them,
in the closet?

What?
But I haven't got time--

Well, will you wait a minute,
please?

Hey, Tillyard III, will you
take this for me, please?

Ow! Oh, my...

Ow! Mustapha, will you stay out
from under my feet?

I mean,
you're everywhere!

Hey, Marvin.What is it?

You just watch
who you be yelling at.

Oh, heh-heh. Sorry.

Excuse me, but I hit my head,
Mustapha.

[ chuckles ]

MARVIN:
Oh, Jesus.

What the hell is this?

It's very weird
and unsanitary.

I know one thing.
I'm not gonna use it.

Come on, you guys,
will you get out of there?

Look out for the sink
in the floor.

Sink in the floor?
Uhh.

Sink in the floor.

I still like Marvin anyway.

Don't get to like him too much.How come?

Because he ain't no good
is how come.

[ shouting indistinctly ]

I'm going to meet some
network people in the morning.

Right. Yeah. Uh, they're
over here to-- Shh! Quiet!

They're over here to cover
the karate matches.

After that, I think
they're going to tape

the ballgame on the 21st.

Since when?Get Rawlings on the other phone.

What'd you say? We'll have
a practice in the morning.

Just an exhibition,
but a lot of press coverage.

Yeah, network people too.

Loyton, Rawlings,
they're both very interested.

Hold on for a minute,
will you?

What is this, Yankee Stadium?
Will you guys shut up?

Now get to bed!

No.Baseball gloves...

Get to bed.

You got Rawlings yet?

No.Go to bed.

Go to bed. Good night.

Now, look, go to sleep.

I'm not sleepy, Marvin.

You're sleeping.

[ speaking Japanese ]

[ all shouting in Japanese ]

[ teammates clamoring ]

People will love this game
with the right promotion.

It's a natural.

We play the game
3:30 a.m. Tokyo time.

It plays opposite
the game of the week.

Kills 'em
in the ratings.

[ players shouting in Japanese ]

Play ball!

Hit the wrapper
off of it, Kelly.

Holy shit, he hit a home run!

Holy shit, he hit a home run!

[ Bears shouting indistinctly ]

Come on, Kelly.

Walk it home.

All right.All right.

Don't make it look too easy.

I want them to know
they're in a ball game.

BOY:
All right.

All right, come on. You got
to stick out more, Mustapha.

You're a big item.What are you talking about?

Take a look at that kisser.
It's a heartbreaker.

Play ball!

Come on, Miguel,
get a piece of it.

Strike one!

I'm gonna tell you
something.

Completely off the record,
and I mean it. Ahem.

We got a Mexican kid
on the team that's...

Mustapha, please, I'm talking
to this nice television man,

and it's important, okay?

Miguel Agilar is his name,
and he's an illegal alien.

It's gonna be murder getting him
back into the states.

Why are you wearing
this big old chain?

Because I like it,
and it's attractive.

So badly he was willing
to risk anything--

No, it ain't.That's a matter of opinion,

just a matter of opinion.

Risked even being deported
just so he could be here

and represent
the good old USA.

Now, is that a story?

Strike! Out!

You. Out!

Gracias.

You could say they're
a microcosm of America.

We have black boys,
Jewish boys...

What are you doing now?Buttoning.

No, leave it open.
I like it that way.

That's the style.

Strike! Out!

Stein.

You're not a lefty.Oh, yeah.

[ crowd cheering ]

[ all shouting in Japanese ]

Better go get 'em, gang.

I'm playing short.No.

I'm wanna play short this game.I always play short.

Third is nice.I'll let you play next time.

You get a lot of baseballs.Look, look.

One of you guys play
one position.

Why don't you just
go play third

and you play short.I wanna play short.

Is somebody going
to play center?

Goddamn it!
Play left!

You could say what puts
this team together,

what keeps them together
is pride.

BOY 1:
Come on.

Why didn't you get it?Wasn't mine.

Wasn't mine, that was yours.BOY 2: Throw it to second!

Second base!It was closer to you.

So? But--What are you doing?

I was gonna get it,
and then I saw you.

He just got a double
off of a single.

Ahem. Um, time.

Time!

I wish you guys would get
together and play some baseball.

It was yours.It was your fault.

No, you could've gotten it.Yes, it was too.

Stop, stop, stop.

Well, at least
we're still ahead.

We'd be lucky to get this
on tape delay, condensed.

Ball. Four ball.

Come on, whip it in there!Whip it in there, baby!

[ audience cheers ]

Jet lag,
that's all it is.

[ gloomy theme playing]

BOY:
Come on, pitch it good, Stein.

[ players shouting
indistinctly ]

[ inaudible ]

[ bat strikes ball ]

[ audience cheering ]

We got a real
tight schedule this week.

The problem is you people
just don't know what sells.

I mean, people want to root.
Will you wait a minute?

I got to fly back
to the states tonight.

Just wait a minute. Wait.Marvin...

I'm going to do the very best
I can for you, believe me.

Ed. Hey.

Marvin, I'll guarantee you
one thing.

Nobody back home wants to see
a team get beat that badly,

live, tape, or on the news.

Rocky.
What about Rocky?

Rocky landed
a few punches, Lazar.

I'll be back
in a few days, Marvin.

Call me.
We'll have lunch.

Yeah.

Lunch.

Hey.

[ both speaking Japanese ]

Oh, here. Go back
to the hotel, okay?

Hotel.

[ koto music playing ]

Hey, your playing
was really great.

I mean, I never met
a geisha before.

Hey, can't you just say
a little something to me?

I mean, geishas
are supposed to be nice.

[ speaking Japanese ]

Hey, I'm sorry.

I didn't understand
what you said.

[ speaking Japanese ]

[ bell ringing ]

Hey, I got something
that might help us out.

I'm a baseball player.

Baseball.

You sure have
beautiful hair.

Beautiful hair.

Hair.

[ speaking Japanese ]

What?

It means
"beautiful hair."

Beautiful hair.

Does that mean yes?

How about it? Would you go
to dinner with me or not?

I said it right,
didn't I?

About dinner tomorrow?

You missed the last train.

Hey, hey, maybe
I should stay.

Hey, hey, hey. Maybe
I should spend the night.

I've got no money
for a hotel or taxi.

Hey, listen, I wouldn't try
anything funny, because...

[ speaking Japanese ]

Didn't think I knew
that one, did you?

I've been saving that
for last.

Hey, hey, and it's not
because you're beautiful.

And not the...
[ speaking Japanese ]

Hey, maybe--
Wait a second so I could--

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Dinner tomorrow?

And no chickening now,
because I know where you live.

Sayonara.

Your name.
I didn't ask your name.

Shit.

[ upbeat theme playing]

Arika. Arika.

Goodbye, Arika.

All right.

Are you telling me your friend
can't get it in the newspapers?

Well, what about
the sports section?

But it's a sports event.

Look--
Moshi moshi.

Please, off the line.
That's Vegas I'm talking--

What? Hello? What do you mean,
no more calls?

I can't--

You got no business cutting
my Mastercharge card in half.

We were instructed to
by the company, Mr. Lazar.

What are you always
smiling about?

It's probably some malfunction
in the computer.

I'm never behind. There.
There's my Diners Club card.

STEIN:
Kelly's been gone for hours.

He'll find his way back.
It's not--

What'd you cut that card
in half for?

Diner is in the same
category, thank you.

Don't you have any cash,
Marvin?

Oh, cash is out of date.

Cash would be most
advisable, Mr. Lazar.

Heh. You're telling me.

Ahem.

How could you bring us
over here without a dime?

Back to lounge acts.

You lied to us about everything.

Middle-aged strippers.

There was no game set,
no TV thing, no nothing.

No more drive-on pass
on the lot.

I think you're overdue
for that meeting with Jesus.

CBS would've
picked it up.

We've got you on fraud
and child abuse.

Oh, if I'd only made them
go to bed.

Those are felonies.Go to sleep.

You know what life
is like in prison?

For one thing, no telephones.

Yeah, just think
about that.

Are you listening,
Marvin?

Aw.Aw, God, Marvin.

Estúpido.Trapped in Japan.

[ Bears chattering ]

I still like you,
Marvin.

I really do.

Are we really going home
air freight?

What's the matter?
It's pressurized.

They got pilots--Marvin.

What is it?The word for pawn shop is--

Pawn shop?The first thing you'll sell

is that big gold chain
of yours.

It's brass.
Everybody happy it's brass?

Okay, troops, this is it.
We're prisoners of war,

and we're escaping.
Come on. Let's go. Come on.

Shh.

Shh.

[ speaking Japanese ]

[ repeats Japanese phrase ]

Um, calisthenics.

A-one, two, three, four.
A-one, two, three, four.

ALL:
One and two and three and four.

Baseball.

Bang, bang. Exercise.
One, two.

[ speaks Japanese ]

One, two, three, four.

BEARS:
One, two. One, two.
One, two. One, two.

Now what are we
going to do?

I could use
my Bullocks charge card.

Yeah, like, one, two.All right, all right.

I'll think of something.

[ men shouting in Japanese ]

Are any of the network
people here? Network.

Are you press?Yes. Are you press?

Yes, the network. Oh, there's
the guy I want to see.

Oh, thank you very much,
your highness.

Have you seen Eddie?No, I haven't.

I'm looking for Eddie,
one of the network people.

Not right now.Thank you.

You know where
I could find him?

You know where
I could find him?

No, I don't.You know Eddie?

It's very important
I talk to him.

Sorry, sir,
you'll have to wait.

MAN:
Martial arts champion...

Antonio Inoki!

[ man speaking Japanese ]

Mean Bones Beaudine.

[ soul music playing

[ speaking Japanese ]

Hyah!

[ applause ]

[ groans ]

[ grunts ]

[ applause ]

[ speaking Japanese ]

[ groans ]

[ applause ]

[ breathing heavily ]

[ groans then grunts ]

[ applause ]

[ grunts ]

[ applause ]

Two.

[ groaning ]

[ grunts ]

[ crowd murmuring ]

[ whistles ]

Yes.

There's no way he can make it.
He's on his way to the hospital.

I don't know what we'll do.
If we don't get something,

it's a million and a half
down the drain.

We haven't got time to bring
anybody from the states.

We tape in an hour.

That's right, in an hour.
Well, how do I know?

It's not my problem. I'll
tell you what the problem is.

The guy's head was made of
plywood. That was the problem.

And it's not
our only problem either.

Who's in charge here?Our announcers.

Our announcers got disgusted.

Is he in charge here?Yeah.

You tell me, who's close?
You're kidding.

Get Dick Button on the phone.
He's at some ice rink.

Are you in charge?Yes.

Put down the phone.
I've been at the Hilton

waiting for a car,
45 minutes.

You people were supposed
to pick me up.

Car? What car?My man's here in 30 minutes.

He gets a dressing room,
telephone--

Who are you?Lazar. Marvin Lazar.

I've got the replacement
for your 7:00 match.

Replacement?
What replacement?

Alphonse "The Chopper" Williams.

And it wasn't easy.

How much you getting paid
for this?

Enough to pay for the hotel.Swear to God?

Don't bring the Lord into this.
Feldman gets upset.

I hope you're not doing
anything dishonest.

What is this,
the Spanish Inquisition?

Smile. Come on, boys.What's that?

[ knock on door ]

Lazar, where's the chopper?Yeah.

Uh, he's relaxing.I want to see this guy.

This guy's gonna put you on TV.
Be nice to him.

[ all chattering ]

They're coming for you.
Get dressed.

You're a very fine man,
Mr. Lazar.

A thousand dollars
is quite a helping hand

to those of us
on fixed income.

I want to help as much as I can.
There you go.

Put that on.This mask necessary?

Absolutely. It's gonna
make you look younger.

What the hell is that?

That is Alphonse,
"The Chopper."

Is that what
he was going to wear?

That what
you're going to wear?

It's a wrap.
What's a wrap?

Is this a fashion show
or a wrestling match?

Inoki just told me he's not
fighting a no-name bum.

That's it.The interview is off?

No match, no interview.
It's very simple.

But it's newsworthy.You want that interview?

We pack it in
without the match.

You want the kids on TV,
you talk to Inoki,

'cause I'm blue in the face
from talking to the creep.

[ shouting in Japanese ]

Will you tell him to calm down
and put on his gear?

[ speaking Japanese ]

No.

No!

Inoki is most distraught.Oh.

Tonight's match is
so important stepping stone

to rematch with Ali.

Thinks worse
if he fight that turkey.

But that's nonsense.

It can only improve
his chances.

National television.No.

This could be a great match
in his career.

No!

What is it?
Fear?

[ speaking Japanese ]

[ clears throat ]

Well, let's see
what you're afraid of, huh?

Is this the putz
you want to duck?

You think Ali
will give you a rematch?

[ speaking Japanese ]

Now take it easy.
Will you take it easy?

I thought you said
the match was a fake.

It is, it is.
Please, put on this mask.

What's all this about a match
with Muhammad Ali?

I mean, Ali doesn't fake.

All you got to do
is just bump into the guy,

lie down and
take a full count, okay?

He is a very
high-strung gentleman.

Did you see what he did
to his locker?

It's prefight nonsense.
Believe me when I tell you that.

I have told you in detail
about my back problems.

Yes, you did.

And about my Blue Cross
being cancelled.

Yes, you did. But I want you
to know something.

He's as gentle as a lamb.
He's a pussycat, so don't worry.

[ triumphant theme playing]

ANNOUNCER:
Spotlight on Sports
is on the air.

Welcome to the Tokyo Pavilion.

Hello, everybody,
I'm Dick Button,

substituting for Lindsay Nelson
and Dick Schapp.

And tonight, we have a unique,
if not extraordinary, event.

[ speaking Japanese ]

Antonio Inoki.

[ applause and cheering ]

[ announcer speaking Japanese ]

ANNOUNCER:
Introducing, in this corner,

Martial Arts
world champion...

Well, it's very clear that
the unfortunate cancellation

of Mr. Mean Bones Beaudine

has severely marred
the attendance.

Coming to think of it, there's
not much attendance at all.

When you get right down to it,
there's nobody here.

Would you tell Button
to shut up about the crowd?

Dick, 86 the attendance.

[ triumphant theme playing]

Ooh!

--takes a spill.
Interestingly enough,

if that had been
a figure skating event--

His opponent,

Alfonse "The Chopper" Williams.

Two hundred pounds.

[ Bears cheering ]

Come here.

[ speaking Japanese ]

No hard feelings
I hope.

Uhh. Uhh!

[ both speaking Japanese ]Ref, I'm out. Count me out.

I got internal injuries.
Get an ambulance.

So that fall apparently
is not counting.

You know,
it's an interesting thing.

In figure skating,
a fall on the ice does not count

unless the skater is doing
something beyond his ability.

If that were applied here,
we would see very clearly

that he had not done anything
beyond his ability,

so the fall doesn't count.

BOY 1:
Come on. What a chicken.

BOY 2:
Get up, Marvin.

MARVIN:
Oh...

[ speaking Japanese ]

No. No, no.

[ both shout ]

Uhh.

Now will you count me out?

[ Inoki speaking Japanese ]

Will you count me out?
What's the matter with you?

Start counting, will you?
Do something.

Yaah!

BOY 3:
Don't do that to Marvin.

[ Bears chattering ]

He's following it up immediately
with a triple sock-up.

Now, that is
an extremely unusual move.

[ Marvin shouts ]

Marvin's getting hurt.

Hey, Mustapha, get back here.

You'll get hurt.Be careful, Mustapha.

Leave him alone!

What are you-- Will you get out?
He's counting me out.

Ref, get back here
and start counting.

Get hold of him.
Don't let him get away.

BEARS:
Mustapha!

Where am I?INOKI: Aah!

God damn you, Lazar.

Is he gone?

Uhh!

That particular move
looks very much like the one

Rodnina and Zaitsev
of the Soviet Union did

in the figure skating pairs
exhibition

at the Olympic Games
in Innsbruck.

You remember that in 1976?
Beautiful, beautiful.

BOY:
Mustapha, come on.

Aah! Aah!

MARVIN:
Goodbye.

An entire melee
is going on here.

A baseball team--

I can say they are garbed
in very attractive uniforms.

Obviously trimmed
in yellow and black.

BOY 1:
Stop, Ahmad.

BOY 2:
I'm going to get you.

BOY 3: That hurt.BOY 4: Come on, let's get him.

[ Inoki groans ]

BOY 5:
Pull down his pants.

Marvin, you'll get
in the way.

God, that ref took
a heck of a shot.

Ooh, a flying six-pin.

Did you see the extension
of the leg as it stuck out?

The toe not very well pointed,
I will say that.

INOKI:
Aah!

BOY 1:
Got him.

BOY 2:
Come on, grab him!

I'll get him, Marvin.Yeah, right, do that.

Against the ropes.Against the ropes.

All together.

BEARS:
One! Two! Three!

You're gonna get it now,
sucker.

Aah!

[ triumphant theme playing]

BOY:
Let's get him.

BEARS:
One! Two! Three!

[ Bears cheering ]

Look at him there being
helped off the ring.

Obviously in pain.
What an incredible match.

[ applause ]

[ upbeat theme playing]

Don't take pictures of me.
Give these to the press.

Fill 'em up, all right?
Don't take pictures of me.

Take pictures of the kids.
You know, local color.

Fujiyama.
Domo origato.

MARVIN:
This picture-taking tour
is peanuts.

Okay, so what
we're doing here is...

In order to throw a curve
underhand, go...

Okay.Okay, so...

Here you are.
Drink up, please.

Please. My pleasure.
Yeah, right.

Hey, look at that. The cover
of a national magazine.

Shimaraki, I made it.Shimaroki.

Shima-koo-koo. Would you
excuse me for a minute?

You know, this is
muy importante.

Sadaharu who?Oh. Sadaharu Oh.

[ speaking Japanese ]

Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron.

[ speaking Japanese ]

If that's his batting stance,
he can't be all that good.

He just said that
he's already beat

Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron
in homers.

Really?

[ speaking Japanese ]

Oh, I see. So if I want
to curve it underhand,

I just have to throw it
like that.

Very important.
Yes.

What is it?Kelly's not on the train.

Kelly-- What?He's not on the train.

He's not?
Well, nobody misses him.

Forget it.
Go play in the traffic.

[ romantic theme playing]

Origato.

Uh, domo origato.

[ both speak Japanese ]

Hey, why do you cover
your mouth when you laugh?

Huh?

Why do you cover
your mouth when you laugh?

You got bad teeth
or something?

I like your teeth.
You have nice teeth.

Oh.

Origato.Do you have a boyfriend?

[ speaking Japanese ]

Another girl?

Oh. Me?

Hai.

Well, a couple,

but, uh,
nothing serious.

Not serious?

Not serious.Not serious?

Yes, not serious.

Yes. Not serious?Right.

Hi, everybody.

Let's go. Come on, boys.

Let's get a shot here.

Come on. Everybody in.

Hi, everyone.
Oops. I'm so sorry.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Here. Okay. Okay.

You... Okay.

Come on, boys.

Shape up, will you?
Take pictures of 'em.

[ speaking Japanese ]

Promo, commercials,
all kinds of endorsements.

TV, that's
the most important. TV.

Promotion.Don't tell me, tell him.

Okay. Promotion.

[ speaking Japanese ]

[ chattering ]

[ speaks in Japanese ]

I hope Marvin
wins us the ball game.

[ Japanese music playing ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

Why all this for children's
baseball game, Mr. Lazar?

Has he any idea what this could
mean to Japanese baseball?

Well, translate already.

[ speaks in Japanese ]

[ speaks in Japanese ]

He says, "how much money
do you stand to make

out of this charade, Mr.Lazar?"

Hopefully, a bundle.

[ speaks in Japanese ]

[ man speaking in Japanese ]

In this area is where
the Japanese soldiers

are buried here.

[ speaks in Japanese ]

TRANSLATOR:
And here all the pilots

who died in World War II.

[ speaks in Japanese ]

Excuse me, coach, I'm sorry,
but you gotta listen to me.

You've gotta cooperate
a little bit.

We've gotta create a little
animosity between the two teams.

I know what I'm talking about.
It's a must.

I mean, we gotta get a couple of

nasty little bits into
newspapers. Things like that.

Get you on TV.
Well, translate.

[ speaks in Japanese ]

Look, coach.
Coach, uh...

I know you think
I'm an ass. Okay?

And you've got good cause.

You know,
a lot of people with any sense

would feel that way
about me.

But a chance like this don't
come along too often, you know?

I haven't had
too many chances lately.

That's why I don't want to
blow it.

All in all, this could mean
a damn lot to you,

you know that, don't you?

You'll be able to buy a lot of--

A lot of new equipment
for the kids.

Maybe even a little money
for yourself.

We don't have to like each other
to work with each other.

[ dramatic music playing ]

[ both speaking in Japanese ]

[ vocal exercises ]

That's loosening up?

Listen,
don't worry about it.

These people are
non-professionals.

Gonna be a piece of cake.

Can't-- Can't lose.

[ speaks in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ all singing ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ upbeat music playing ]

Take it easy.

You were great up there.

Great. I knew you could dance,

but where did you learn
to sing like that?

[ both singing in Japanese ]

[ speaking indistinctly ]

You want me to take you
to the bathroom, I will.

Anything you want, just--

CHOIR:
♪ Sunday, Monday, happy day

♪ Tuesday, Wednesday,
Happy day ♪

♪ Thursday, Friday, happy day

♪ Saturday beats them all

[ singing in Japanese ]

[ mouthing indistinctly ]

[ man speaking in Japanese ]

[ soft music playing ]

Shimizu.

BOTH:
♪ Moon river

[ singing in Japanese ]

♪ Moon river

♪ And me

[ audience applauds ]

[ man speaking in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

Oh, no, you don't. You're going
in the wrong direction.

Let's go. Come on.

[ man speaking in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ grunts ]

[ audience laughs ]

[ continues speaking
in Japanese ]

How's that--?

You're trying to embarass him.
Come over here.

Listen. This is not Bob Hope.

You know, or Jerry Lewis or Dean
Martin or anybody like that.

He's just a baseball player.

And I think you're coming on
a little too strong with him.

Doing funny numbers
and shticks with him.

You see, these kind of game
shows is in my blood,

I know what
I'm talking about.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ all arguing indistinctly ]

Just don't pick on him.

Shimizu, relax.
Don't let him make you--

I'm going, I'm going.
Relax.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ upbeat music playing ]

[ all singing in Japanese ]

ALL:
Hey!

I can't believe it.

[ screaming ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

MAN:
You can beat anyone
with the Rawlings bat.

[ soft theme playing]

[ no audio ]

MARVIN:
Wait till I show you what I got.

Brand new uniforms.

This is for you.
Look at that.

But we got uniforms.

Oh, those are rags. I mean,
this is the big league stuff.

Look--
Look at the quality of it.

Look at the color, huh?
Two blacks, yellows. Huh?

Beautiful, beautiful.
Any messages for me?

Eat, eat.

[ speaking indistinctly ]

I need somebody to come up here
and clean up the rooms.

I usually wear number 44.

You're gonna wear number eight.
I couldn't come up with 44.

But 44 is Hank Aaron's number.

Oh. Well, I'm sorry.

Well, he's retired anyway,
so what's the difference?

Take eight. Hello? What?

Joe Morgan, that was the guy.

He had eight. Right. Big hitter.

Yeah, good old Joe Morgan.
I forget what his average is.

You know,
Chico's sure been good to us.

So what?
Chico's been good to us.

What, he gave you some uniforms?

We've come up with
30,000 bucks.

What's four percent
of 30,000 bucks, huh?

Twelve hundred dollars.Twelve hundred dollars.

It may not
get you through college,

but it'll certainly get you
a couple of girls

while you're going
through college, huh?

[ door buzzes ]

Hey, they're here.What? Who's here?

What's going on?
Who are these guys?

Some of us are going to the game
with them. They invited us.

You can't go to the game
with them. They're the enemy.

That's fraternizing with the
enemy before game time. Don't.

The Lord moves in strange ways

and he's guiding us
into a wholesome friendship.

Listen, God bless the Lord,

he doesn't have a percentage
of the game.

We just wanna see the side

of whatever old dude
they've been saying is so good.

All right, well,
take care of yourself.

Out of the way, Marvin.

Eat, eat. L'chaim.

Yeah, l'chaim,goodbye.See ya.

See you later. Hasta luego.

Have a nice time, be careful.

[ sighs ]

I'm staying here with you,
Marvin.

No, you're not,
I got an appointment.

I'll go with you.No, you won't.

This is a very private
appointment. Thank you.

[ whistling ]

[ speaking indistinctly ]

Thank you.

I am refreshed.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]What?

How was your appointment?

What are you doing here?

Waiting on you.

Come here.

My son.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

What kind of place was it where
you had your appointment?

It was kind of a restaurant.There were women in there, huh?

Of course there are women there.
Women go to restaurants too.

They gotta eat.

Did you kiss them?

You know, I'm with you guys
for 24 hours a day.

You'd think I'd get a couple
of minutes to myself.

What are you gonna call it?

Call what?The baby.

What baby?

Kissing's how babies are made.

People go to kissing and babies
be popping up everywhere.

That's not true, Mustapha.

Not true at all.

Not kissing, how you do?

How old did you say you were?I'm 6 and a half.

You're a little young
to ask questions like that.

Why do people do it?

It's a natural urge.
An urge, an urge, a feeling.

Yes, exactly.

Do black people get the same
urges as white people?

Exactly the same, exactly.

How about the Japanese?

The Japanese, exactly the same.

Can you stay on your feet?

We only got a couple more
steps to go.

How do they get
this natural urge?

You're born with this feeling.
Don't you understand that?

It's a, um, it's a natural urge.

You see, girls get the feeling,
boys get the feeling.

And it's warm.

When they get together.

Is that when you get married?

Uh, not necessarily, no.

What do you do
when it gets close?

Ha, ha. I don't even know
why I started this.

Do you have to get na--?
Do you--?

Do you have to take
your clothes off?

Uh, well, it helps, yes.

Ugh. Naked?

Yeah, well,
it's not so bad.

Why?Well, it makes things easier.

What?To make things go faster.

What?Smooth and easy. Oh, forget it.

Do you have to get naked?

Uh, well, not completely.

That's good,
because when I want babies,

I ain't getting naked no how.

I ain't no fool.

You're certainly not.

[ both laughing ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

Kelly.

This is my father.

Oh, hi, Dad, I'm Kelly.

Kelly. Me. I'm Kelly.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

Kelly.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

Wait? You want me to wait?

Okay.
And then we'll go get lunch.

No.

[ speaking in Japanese ]

[ speaking indistinctly ]

[ speaking in Japanese ]

Get out. Get out.

[ snoring ]

[ speaks indistinctly ]

Nervous?
Big game tomorrow, huh?

Well, have no fear,
Marvin's here.

What's the matter?

Maybe I'm just tired
of your hustling.

It's tough in my line of work,
you know.

Gotta go out and hustle
or else you go nowhere.

If you were some real big shot
you'd still be nowhere.

I'll remember that.

Man, you were-- People like you
were made to be nowhere.

Got your game, didn't I?

You got us a freak show.What do you mean, freak show?

And dragging my brother
all over the place

like he's some puppy dog.
You know, I'm sick of that too.

I happen to like your brother.Yeah, what you like

is a cute little nigger
with a big smile

who don't mind you sticking
a camera in his face.

You got no cause
to talk to me like that.

You hurt me when you
talk to me like that.

You ain't hurt.
You ain't never been hurt.

Hey, Louie.

Marvin.

Now,
what are you doing in Tokyo?

I wouldn't miss your big moment
for the world.

You wouldn't, huh?

Here on business
with a friend.

Promised to introduce you.

Now, get yourself
a chaperone for the kids.

He knows a great restaurant.

♪ I suppose I ought to say

♪ Congratulations

You know, what you
and those boys are doing,

coming over here
and taking that challenge,

that's really something.
Really.

Thanks a lot.

They thought I was crazy,
but I did it.

It's a shame things can't be
evened out a little bit.

You can't change a 200 batter

into an all-star player
overnight.

Ahem. Well, that's, uh,

that's not exactly
what we had in mind, Mr. Lazar.

What were you suggesting, Locke?

Well...
Page 8.

See, these--
These three boys,

They're over here visitng
from the States.

And Louie and I
are kinda chaperoning them

while they're here.

They're back
at the hotel resting up.

They got a big day tomorrow.

And this boy, Henry Linver.

He's got a fastball
that takes off

like a goddamn
bolt of lightening.

Zing!
Zing!

Zing, huh?

When does he, uh, turn 30?

[ Marvin laughing ]

No, no, no.
They're all the right age.

They're just big,
that's all.

Hell, they're from Texas.
What do you expect?

Everything's big in Texas.

Marvin.

Five big ones go down
in your name in Vegas.

Five thousand at 25 to 1,
Marvin.

You figure it out.

[ marching band playing ]

How's the arm?

Hey, Stein, why you drinking
all the water?

Are you nervous?No, I'm thirsty.

Well, guys,
Marvin has come through again.

Have I got a surprise for you.

Hey, guys, get in here.

Henry, Mike and Mitch.

Pitcher, shortstop, second base.

Well, you guys were so worried
about losing,

I thought I'd do something
to help you out.

I mean, I don't want you guys
to go out there

and feel embarassed
or anything like that.

Uh, Marvin, can we speak to you
alone for a minute?

Sure you can, Tillyard.

Why don't you guys go out
and warm up, huh?

Throw a couple around.

What is it, Tillyard?

Well, maybe I'm speaking
just for myself,

but I don't think
we need any help.

I agree.

[ all speaking indistinctly ]

Where did this come from
all of a sudden?

We can handle it by ourselves,
Marvin.

Oh, yeah?
You were singing another tune

the last time you got
slaughtered out there.

Things have changed.What's changed?

Well, you've pushed
this underdog thing so much.

Everybody thinks
we're spazzes.

And now we have
something to prove.

You're gonna prove it
with the help of these guys.

I didn't get a regiment,
you know.

It's not right.[ all chattering ]

Guys, I can't believe
what you're saying to me.

If you guys
don't like the job I'm doing,

you can tear up the contract,
stick it down the toilet.

Let me tell you
something.

If I'm gonna stay in charge,
you got to do things my way.

Know what I'm saying?

Come here, huh?

Come here.
Listen to me.

Let me tell you why

I hired
those three guys.

Why that's so important.

If the score is close,

or if you win,

you'll be heroes.

National heroes.
Do you know that?

There'll be promotions,
commercials.

Listen, if you lose
and you lose bad,

you get slaughtered,

you know what you
can end up with?

Zilch.

Zilcho.

You know what it means
to be zilcho?

All right, get out there
and play some baseball.

Come on, let's go.

Fast.

Come on.

A little spirit.

Hey, Marvin.

That was some of your
best bullshit yet.

[ playing fanfare ]

Marvin, Marvin.

Bat our boys
at the top of the order.

Yeah, yeah.

[ band playing
majestic fanfare ]

[ applause ]

Hey!

[ announcer speaking Japanese ]

Play ball!

[ shouting in Japanese ]

[ all cheer ]

[ crowd cheering ]

It's gone!

[ laughs ]You got him, Louis.

[ announcer speaking Japanese ]

Ah!

[ dramatic theme playing]

[ upbeat theme playing]

[ umpire shouts in Japanese ]

They're calling us
chicken.

Well,

you got them worried,
that's why.

[ all speaking Japanese ]

[ announcer speaking Japanese ]

Out![ crowd cheers ]

Out![ crowd cheers ]

[ shouting in Japanese ][ crowd cheers ]

[ playing fanfare ]

Could have gotten it
if you'd have moved your ass.

Could have gotten it
if you had have moved your ass.

They're getting set
on you.

Don't let them dig in
on you, boy.

Did he do that
on purpose?

Tillyard, hut.

[ shouting in Japanese ]

[ shouting in Japanese ]

Okay?

Don't worry, Marvin.

They don't know you're doing
the best for everybody,

but I do.

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

Next summer they're going
to be sorry.

They'll like you more,
like me.

Especially my old man
and brother

are gonna be sorry.

Leave me alone, please.

Hey, Marvin.

Will you leave me
alone!

[ fans clapping rhythmically ]

[ crowd cheering ]

[ announcer speaking Japanese ]

Did you see that?
He tried to hit him.

He wasn't retaliating.How do you know?

They don't play that type
of baseball over here, punk.

Who are you calling
a punk?

Why don't you just
not mess with him?

All right, all right,
all right.

Get out there,
will you?

Love your boys.

[ crowd cheers ]

LOUIS:
Watch out. It's a double play.

Out!

[ all shouting ]

Oh, no.

No-- No shootay.

[ speaks Japanese ]

[ all shouting ]

[ marching band playing ]

Would you leave me alone?
Get off me!

I'm just trying
to break this fight up!

Now we'll see who's--

Come on, Kelly.
Back off, will you?

You're gonna get it!

Will you break it up?

Oh, no, no!Cut it out.

Come on, you guys.

Stop fighting.
Break it up.

Come on, beat it!

[ shouting in Japanese ]

What do you want?

[ speaking Japanese ]

What are you screaming
at me for?

I don't even know
what you're talking about!

[ shouting in mock Japanese ]

[ both grunt ]

[ grunts ]

We should have brought over a
manager instead of ballplayers.

That does it, Marvin.
We're through.

Will you just tell
your boys to cool it?

Yeah.The stadium people say they're

gonna call the thing off
if there's more trouble.

Yeah.

Everything's all right.

[ announcer speaking Japanese ]

There's nothing.
What is it?

What is it?

ANNOUNCER:
Due to circumstances

beyond our control,

the game has been
cancelled.

People don't lose
entire ball clubs, Lazar.

I don't know what happened.
I mean, use your imagination.

Maybe CBS made them
a better offer.

Lots of rain check money
to pay out.

Twenty-five percent
of the gate.

I was in line to do
the Super Bowl this year.

[ sighs ]

Well, look,

at 4:00 we lose
the light.

But I'm gonna
leave the cameras in place.

Now if you and the new
Japanese coach

can find your teams by 4:00,
let me know.

We'll tape the rest of it
without the crowd.

What new Japanese coach?
What are you talking about?

Well, the other one resigned,
or got fired.

A big disgrace.

What?

The federation his team
belonged to

did not take this
lightly.

I just wish we had
a federation

to deal with people
like you.

[ sighs ]

You are my friend.

[ speaking Japanese ]I can't believe it.

All I needed
was one more strike.

And I could have done it.

Almost did it.

I'd have gotten myself
a couple of game shows.

Ah.

Then I'd go
to the movies.

Hm?
Yeah.

Movie?Yes. I would use Kubrick first.

First. Him and me,
we got the same sensibilities.

[ speaks Japanese ]

You're all right,
Shimizu.

What's the matter?
Not sharp enough?

Don't you like your steak?

Why are you throwing
roses at me?

Shimizu.

Shimizu?
Come on, pal.

Not as bad you think.

Come on, cheer up.

Hey, what do you say
you come to L.A. with me?

Huh? Stay with me
for a little while.

Come on,
you could use the rest.

You can stay with me.
Things get bad, really,

worst comes to worst, I'll get
you a job as a gardener.

What do you say?
But you can't commit hari-kari.

I mean, that would be horrible.Huh?

Hara-kiri?Hara-kiri.

I knew I had
the pronunciation wrong.

Marvin, you crazy?No--

[ speaking Japanese ]

That's what I'm saying.
You must consider it.

No, no.

Yeah, but--[ shouting in Japanese ]

What?

Well, don't get so ex--

Shimizu.

Listen, Shimizu.

Well, on second thought,
you know,

it's tough to get a job
in Hollywood now.

You should have been there
in the '40s.

[ exhales ]

You'd have worked
in every picture in town.

You'd have had a lot
of death scenes.

And you'd have been good.

[ speaks Japanese ]

I don't know
what it is with you.

You're so contrary.

Maybe it's all that raw fish
you eat.

Marvin, come here.

What do you want?

What?

[ all shouting ]

Come on,
get a move on.

[ shouting indistinctly ]

He did it! Oh, he did it!
That's my brother!

Safe!

[ indistinct shouting ]

[ upbeat theme playing]

Out!

Safe![ grunts ]

Hey, what are you doing?
You were safe.

I thought so too.So, what are you doing?

You could just tell
he didn't think so.

Well, I think he needs
a pair of glasses.

[ speaking Japanese ]

What?

Dishonest.

BOY 1:
Come on, Kelly. Get a hit.

BOY 2:
Snap out of it. You're not
concentrating, Kelly.

BOY:
Come on, Kelly.

BOY 1:
Come on, Kelly. Pay attention.

Baby!

BOY 1: That's two.UMPIRE: Strike two.

BOY 1:
Lighten up, will you, Kelly?

Kelly!

[ upbeat theme playing]

[ indistinct shouting ]

And that's three.

No!
What do you mean no?

[ speaking Japanese ]

But it can't be.

What?Well, come on.

Get their uniforms on,
get them back to the stadium.

But they played already.

They--

[ speaking Japanese ]

Lazar. You bastard.

You're contractually obligated
to deliver a game.

Nothing in the contract
about a doubleheader.

And you call me that name
one more time,

I'm gonna knock you
right on your ass.

No writing, no writing.

Now listen, Lazar,

I will personally see to it
the network sues your ass off

if you don't get those boys
to the stadium.

Sue me.

Here. Here's my Bullex card.
Put it where you like.

I'm through promoting,
hyping or anything else.

You understand that?
You want these kids to play?

You go ask them.
I'm through with this bullshit.

I'm not in the business.
Right, Ahmad?

You're getting there,
man.

I think it's happened.

BOY 1:
Hey, you guys,
how about some Coke?

BOY 2:
Hey, you guys, wait up.

Ah, you...

Ah...

Shimizu?
Yeah?

Next year, Cuba.

Cuba?

We take the both teams.

I get Castro to throw
the first ball out.
