[Billy] That her?

[Richard] Yeah.

To me, there's something a
little extra sexy

about a woman who breaks
the law to have sex.

I think 'cause it makes
her a sexual predator.

-Women who are predatory--
-Mmm.

[Richard]
I'll bet she totally directs.

You like to be directed in bed?

Please.

I had a thing
for Shari Lewis growing up--

that little puppeteer act.

[Elaine] Let me ask you
a few questions.

[Woman] Yeah.

I like puppets.

Uh, y-you wanted to see me?

Uh, both of you, actually.

Uh, wrongful termination. New case.

Lawyer ditched her
right before summary judgment.

[Together] Richard.

I'd do it myself,
if I knew the law. Bygones.

I'm not saying it's right
for a woman my age to be with--

Does it matter that
I may have loved him?

Not when he's 16.

I have no defense
is what you're saying.

[John] Well,

-did you love him?
-I may have.

-I don't know. I--
-[John] Could you tell me...

exactly how you happened to--

[Stammers] Poughkeep--Pough--Uh--

Coney Island--love him?

-Well--
-John, the crime is statutory.

If she did it, she did it.

An element of the crime
is intent, Ally.

And what? We're gonna say
it happened by accident?

She went out for some fresh air,

stretched a little,
and his penis fell in?

-Sorry.
-A 39-year-old woman

with a 16-year-old boy--

one could suggest
she'd have to be crazy.

Wouldn't she?

-[Renee] Insanity?
-We did assert it. So--

It's sexual battery.
I'll give you that.

-Misdemeanor.
-Not a chance.

Can you stop walking? You're
doing this on purpose...

because you know
I'm wearing new shoes,

and you think I'll just plead
guilty to avoid a blister.

Felony battery.
That's as good as it gets.

Ms. Raddick,
you wanted to talk to me?

Yes. Let's go find a room.

This is the defendant's lawyer,
Ally McBeal.

-Jason Tresham.
-Hello.

-Ally.
-Huh?

[Gasps] Oh, oh, oh.
Ni--Nice to meet you.

She knows I don't
want to do this, right?

Excuse me?

Laura. They subpoenaed me.

Oh. Oh. She-She knows.

Come on.

Yeah. I'm on my way down.

Well, we can't settle.
We go to trial.

Mmm. Good luck.

Is everything okay with you?

Me? Fine. Why?

You seem a little lugubrious.

Really? I, uh--

What?

I make a great living. Good friends.

My own firm by the age of 30.

But... life.

I want more, John.

More?

Mmm... money.

-More money.
-Ah.

I know it's a weakness,

and I've actually been trying
to think less about wealth...

and instead focus on
the things I can buy with it.

But still--

Everybody wants more money, Richard.

Does everybody--

Sometimes when I look
at my stock portfolio,

I-I get aroused.

Does everybody do that?

The percentage
would be less there. Yeah.

Ah.

Ever heard of Nelle Porter?

-Subzero Nelle?
-Yeah.

She's looking to leave Goodman Dale.

She's got serious portables.

Will she meet?

I'm told she's asked about us.

[Chuckles]

[Chattering]

She would let me use her sailboat,

and one time she decided
to go with me.

We kind of got to know
each other then. I--

I guess we became friends.

At some point you became more
than just friends, right?

-Yes.
-You became lovers?

-Yes.
-I know these questions

are embarrassing, but...

before Ms. Jewell, were you a virgin?

Yes.

[Renee] And do you
remember how long

the affair with her lasted?

I think about two weeks.

nd how old were you
while this was going on?

Sixteen.

Sixteen.

Jason, when you first met Ms. Jewell,

you said that you were a waiter

where she frequently had lunch.

That's right.

Other than taking food orders or...

talking about the weather,
maybe even the Red Sox,

do you remember
the first conversation

you had with her that was
at all more personal?

Yes.

I asked her why
she always seemed so sad.

[Ally] How did she respond?

She just smiled a little.

Said she was fine.

Did you know she had recently
split up with her husband?

Not at the time.

And--And did you interpret
the sadness as--

as, uh, loneliness?

Well, um,

no.

Actually, it seemed a little worse.

What could be worse than being alone?

I mean, how--how did it seem worse?

I saw lots of lonely people.

You know, summer restaurant
by the Cape.

The place would be full of 'em.

They always... have a look.

Wh--What-What kind of look?

A look that it could
change any second.

Maybe with the next person
who enters the room.

Lonely people--

they have hope.

She didn't seem to.
She was just... sad.

You know, like she knew too much.

Knew too much?

What did she know?

That some people
find love permanent...

and some are just meant to be alone.

She knew what she was.

Ms. McBeal?

-Ms. McBeal?
-Huh?

Oh. Um--Oh. Nothing further.

Nothing further.

[Ally's Voice] It's as if
he was talking about me.

Ally, with you, everything
is about you.

But that's okay. Narcissism is
a wonderful thing.

-It is?
-Yeah. For me.

Nuts like you heat my pool.

Tracy, this boy--he could be
15 as well as 18.

And I--And I looked at him up
on the stand, and I had...

unpure... thoughts.

-Unpure thoughts?
-Unpure sexual thoughts.

Oh.

As opposed to
philosophical impurities.

Gee. Thanks for clearing that up.

Honey, do you think
I'm a Menudo groupie

because I like their music?

It's not against nature to--to--

If it were against nature,
then they wouldn't have to

pass the laws, would they?

Half the men in this world, when
making love to their wives,

are thinking about the babysitter.

The guy who's shtupping the sitter

while thinking about his wife--

he's got the nature problems.

-I'm not finding this helpful.
-Look.

The most "in love" time of your life

was probably around the age of, um,

18 with--What's his name?

-Billy.
-Whatever. This boy...

could be triggering old feelings.

Or, uh, how were his glutes?

Did he have really amazing glutes?

Because that can do it.

I shouldn't be looking
at an 18-year-old kid.

Ally, I don't want to tell you
how to spend your money,

but for a woman to... think
about an 18-year-old boy

once in a while--this is not
something to get therapy for.

Maybe it is Billy.

You found the love
of your life as a teenager.

You've been waiting for another
love like that to come along.

You're now thinking
that it might not.

You'll never know love again.
That's what's eating you.

Don't beat yourself up
for thinking these things.

You could be 100% right.

Thank you, Tracy.

[Timer Winding]

She sort of has a point.
I mean, 18 is legal.

But he's a witness in your trial.

I am not talking
about him specifically.

I am talking in general.

Now, now, a-a woman my age,
and--and--

Ha--Have you ever fantasized about--

-A boy?
-Yeah.

[Whispers] Billy.

Maybe a long time ago,

before I met Billy, but since him--

Of course.

I can't even imagine
being with anybody else.

In fact, between you and me--

I promise.

I can't even enjoy going
to the movies anymore...

because the love scenes,
the--the leading men--

they don't do a thing for me.

I can only think about Billy.

Well, now you know why it was
so hard for me to get over him,

because he's just so, you know--

Big.

Be honest. Have you ever--

[Zipper Zips]

been in bed with a man who could--

-L-Like--Like Billy?
-Oh, my God. No.

-He--He-He's the best.
-The best!

-[Clears Throat]
-[Both Gasp]

[Toilet Flushes]

That kind of frank
dialogue troubles me.

[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

-[Ally] Who is she?
-[Elaine] Nelle Porter.

They call her Subzero Nelle.

-You know her?
-I know of her.

She was profiled in Boston
magazine--"Hot Women Lawyers."

Richard's looking for a rainmaker.

[Ally]
She looks like she makes sleet.

I hear when she goes to shake hands,

she won't stick hers out very far,

'cause she wants the other person

to meet her more than halfway.

E-Excuse me?

All set?

John, are we hiring a new lawyer?

Shh. Here they come.

I'd like you to meet some people.

Ally McBeal, Nelle Porter.

-Hi.
-Hello.

[Both] Hello.

And this is John Cage.

Oh, I've heard a lot about you.
The Bunion, right?

Uh, well--[Chuckles]
Biscuit. Yeah.

Oh. Biscuit.

Well, in my mind,
Biscuit probably became bun,

bun became bunion. I'm sorry.

Quite all right.

[Richard]
I-I know you're off to trial.

Nelle has expressed some interest

in joining the firm.

Ah. Oh.

[Richard] We do fabulous cases.

Laura here is
a statutory rape client.

Slept with a 16-year-old.

It's rich. It's fresh.
It's delicious.

Let me show you the unisex.
Hmm?

-Great.
-Yeah.

The first time, I surprised
him at the boathouse.

It wasn't a day
we had planned to go sailing.

When you say you surprised him--

I walked in.

He had a sweater of mine. He was
holding it up to his face.

I asked him where he got it,

and he told me he'd taken it
off my clothesline one day.

I just looked at him, and...

he remarkably volunteered a truth...

that I can only imagine
must have been very difficult

to volunteer.

[John] What did he say?

He told me that he would sometimes

take the sweater to bed with him.

[John] Did he tell you why?

[Laura] Oh, he didn't have to.

What happened then?

I walked over to him.

He seemed a little scared...

and exhilarated.

And so was I.

Maybe I was intoxicated...

at the thought of
being a young man's fantasy.

Maybe I was just lonely.

All I can say for sure,

I needed to make love to him...

every bit as much as he wanted
to make love to me.

What hap--
[Voice Cracks] I'm sorry.

What happened then?

I--I, um--

I unbuttoned my shirt.

I--I reached behind
his head, and, uh--

Uh, how much detail
is necessary for this?

-You had relations.
-Yes.

-In the, uh, uh, boathouse?
-Yes.

And you made love again
after that, correct?

Yes.

Ms. Jewell, it's one thing to say

it was something that just happened.

But when it happens several times--

[Laura] It'll sound silly
if I try to describe...

how beautiful it was,

how tender, but, uh--

[High-pitched Murmur]

[Clears Throat]

I--I apologize.

Well, if I make a lateral move,
equity would be something--

Can't make you partner.
Too much fallout.

But you'll get there sooner
here than any other firm.

What about your clients?
Will they come with you?

You know I can't legally
ask them until after I leave.

Of course.

And?

They've all said they'll come.

Excellent. I told you salary,

uh, benefits. What else
do you need to know?

Uh, you've said nothing
about the firm's ideology.

Uh, "selfishism." Everyone's
looking to get ahead.

Everybody gets ahead.

I--I try to set the example there.

What about the other lawyers?

How would they feel about me joining?

Nelle.

Do you care?

Are they really gonna hire her?

Oh, how could they possibly?
She's such the bitch.

[Georgia] Have you talked to her?

No. Why?

Well, sometimes it makes it
easier to backstab

if you've had at least
one conversation.

Oh, she's smart,
and she's pretty, Georgia.

What else do we need to know?

-Mmm. Shh. She's coming.
-Georgia?

-Yes.
-I'm Nelle Porter.

I'm actually thinking
of coming here to work.

-Oh, that's great.
-I've talked to the men.

I was hoping to pick the brain
of one of the women.

Oh.

If you don't mind my suggesting,

you should speak to Ally McBeal.

-Really?
-Well, it's no offense

to you, Georgia,

because you are married
to one of the men

here in the office.

But Ally--she'll give you
the straight dirt,

if you know what I mean.

Hmm. Okay. Thank you.

End of problem. She'll hate Ally.

Mmm.

You make it sound so romantic.

-It was.
-Rational even.

-Yet you plead insanity?
-My lawyers plead insanity.

They say the term
has a legal distinction

from medical insanity.

You had sex with a boy.

-There was nothing gratuitous.
-You had sex with a boy.

[Laura] Again, we're dealing
with legal definitions.

Sixteen. He wasn't a boy to you?

Yes, he was.

And you had sex with him anyway.

To be honest,

I probably made love to him
in part because he was a boy.

-Objection. Move to strike.
-Overruled.

[Renee] Because he was a boy.

Don't misunderstand.

Physically, sexually, he was a man.

If I close my eyes,
I can still feel his strength.

But as he moved himself,

I also felt--

Inside me, I felt his
willingness to just surrender.

To me. To love.

To the moment. And a young man's
moment can last a while.

So you--you just prefer boys to men.

In some ways, maybe I do.

Emotionally, I--I think things
die in men as they get older.

They lose the essence
of the very thing

a woman most wants.

-Such as?
-Simple intimacy.

He cried sometimes when we
made love. Tears of joy.

How many men do you know
willing to do that?

How many men who are able?

He made me feel as if I were
flying and falling all at once.

I was flying.

There are things in him that...

I'm sure will go dead
as he grows older.

Perhaps I was celebrating
the boy inside him.

I was celebrating the boy inside me.

Must be serious.

I think I'm meant for a boy.

[Exhales Sharply]
Wh-When this kid...

said on the stand that--

well, he said that
some people are meant

to be alone--it-it-it just...

shot to my center.

A-And then she--she...

said that boys have
this-this-this accessible

side th-that men--

well, that before their shells
get hard, they--they--

[Sighs]

Tracy thinks it might
have something to do

with me not being over you.

But that isn't it. See, the truth is,

if I close my eyes and think
of you, I-I can't even re--

[Clears Throat]

I'm glad to hear that.

But whenever I
think of you at 17, I--

I-I s-still--

I mean, don't get me wrong.

You're a great guy.
Maybe the best guy I know.

But--[Sighs] part of you--

Part of the you that
I fell in love with is--

is kind of atrophied over.

Uh, a--a little.

-Ally.
-Mm-hmm?

We were kids.

You think that kind of love
lasts forever?

Maybe I'm meant for a boy.

And that's why I'm, of course,
meant to be alone.

-There's another possibility.
-Mmm?

Maybe you're meant for this boy.

What? [Groans] Billy.

He's 18. I mean, what--how--Ew.

Come on.

Well, it's been known to happen.

If Jason Tresham had picked up
a gun and shot a few classmates,

we'd have no trouble
seeing him as an adult.

But to fall in love--

to achieve an emotional intimacy
with a 39-year-old woman--

he must be a child.

To be able to see
into her loneliness...

and offer a companionship...

that could actually leave
her more enlightened?

Oh, he must be a child.

To be able to reach out
on a lazy afternoon...

and sexually gratify this woman
over and over and over--

All right, counsel.

When I was 15 years old,
I went to see this movie.

It was called Summer of '42.

It was about a 15-year-old boy...

and a--a thirtyish woman
played by Jennifer O'Neill.

And, uh, this boy loved her.

Well, as did we all.
Jennifer O'Neill.

I put a padlock on my bedroom
door that summer.

-Mr. Cage.
-[Crowd Chuckles]

But for the whole movie,

audiences throughout the country...

silently groaned,
"Just go. Go to her."

And we all willed her to go to
him. And in the end, she did.

She took Hermie to her bed.
And it was--it was beautiful.

And it was the ending
we all wanted, wasn't it?

And we don't need to feel
ashamed for wishing that result.

See, the law aside,
nature actually favors it.

Man achieves his
sexual prime as a teenager.

A woman, in her 30s.

The district attorney
will no doubt beat that drum--

the law is the law is the law.

That's what district attorneys do.

But when it comes to love,

there really is no law, is there?

-[All] No.
-Members of the jury,

this is a closing argument.

Now, I'm gonna ask you not to
talk back to the litigants.

Laura Jewell fell victim to her love.

Yes, she embraced it
beyond the bounds of the law.

But I tell you. As I went home
from that movie that night,

as I still go home after
watching love stories today,

I pray, "Just once, let me know
that kind of passion."

Let me know a love that deeply.

Laura Jewell did. Caused her
to commit an insane act.

But if her feelings were even
a fraction

of how they've been
described in this room,

a fraction of what I felt...

and still do feel for Jennifer,

insanity would have been
had she not gone to him.

Give me a break.
If this were an adult male...

and a 16-year-old girl,
you wouldn't even hesitate.

With men, it's sex.
Women, it must be love.

Well, as a woman,
I thank you for the compliment,

but who's kidding who?

We have sex drives.

The young lifeguards look good.

We want it just like men
want it, but 16 is 16.

When a man cheats, he's a bum.

A woman--

she's just bridging her
little Madison County.

It's not only crap, it's a form
of gender discrimination.

And 16 is 16.

[Chattering]

So, now we wait?

Oh, shouldn't take too long.

How did it finally end
with you and Jason?

I mean, i-it's over, right?
You and he--

It's over.

Hmm.

-Oh, I-I-I was just wondering.
-[Nelle] Ally.

-Hi.
-Oh, hi, Nelle.

-Paul.
-It's John.

Oh. Right. Listen, Ally.

I'm really considering joining up,

but I would like to talk
to a woman's woman first.

Do you have any at your firm?

I'm kidding.
I would like to talk to you.

Oh. Um, uh, s-sure.

That-That--I'd be happy to.

[Nelle] Oh, great.

Well, maybe we can get a drink

at the end of the day. I'll call.

And maybe we couldn't.

[Scoffs] She didn't even
wait for me to confirm it.

She just assumes that
I'd make myself available.

I'm drawn to her.

[Groans]

[Elevator Bell Dings]

[Woman On Walkie-talkie]
56 Madison. Possible 4-15 gang.

-Hi.
-[Gasps]

Oh. Jason, hi. Um--

Well, I-I bet you're glad
that this is almost over.

-Yeah.
-[Clears Throat]

Um--[Chuckles]

Why are you staring at me?

[Chuckles] I'm sorry.

I just had a strange
dream last night.

You were in it.

Me?

Oh. [Chuckles]

Well, uh, what--what, um--

Uh--[Clears Throat] N-Never mind.

Oh, no. It wasn't inappropriate.

It was just strange, you know?

We--We weren't talking.
We were just--

Our hands were like this,

and our fingertips were touching.

But that was all.

What the hell do you call that?
He dreamed the same dream.

Take a breath, and let's--

No, no, no. I didn't rush all
the way over here to breathe.

Ally, do you realize that
the average person

uses about 1/10th
of their brainpower?

With you, it could be less.

Wh-Wh-What does brainpower
have to do with--

Mental telepathy.
Powers of suggestion,

which can penetrate--

I-It isn't telepathy.
He dreamed the same dream.

I charge by the hour, regardless.

The opinions don't come
cheaper when they're yours.

All right. Give me your opinion.

Fingertips only. That suggests
the need to touch...

but the recognition
that it's forbidden.

You are both reluctant to give in.

Tracy, How could he
and I possibly work out?

He's--He-He-He's
young enough to--to--

If you want some advice, here it is.

It can't last forever. Of course not.

But who made up the rule
that the best loves do?

[Richard] She's good, John.
This woman reminds me of me.

Where is she now?

She's downstairs talking to Ally.

Should we hire her?

Well, it's hard for me
to be objective.

I'm drawn to her.

Well, you have no chance.
Does that help?

You know that song--♪ Boom,
boom, boom boom, boom-de-boom ♪

Sorry?

When I look at her, I hear--

♪ Boom, boom, boom
boom, boom-de-boom ♪

♪♪ [Pop]

[Vonda] ♪ I need love, love ♪

♪ To ease my mind ♪

♪ I need to find, find ♪

♪ Someone to call mine ♪

♪ But my mama said
You can't hurry love ♪

My only concern--

Well, there's been some sexual
harassment claims at your firm.

Oh.

Well, I bet they argue
you deserve it,

wearing those skimpy little skirts.

Pigs.

I've never sued them, Nelle.

You like it here.

I-I do.

Even though it's a place
that would never

let a woman be partner.

-Mm-hmm. Why not?
-Well,

they don't--they don't say
that, but between you and me,

they hire women who want families.

-As in... children?
-Mmm.

That way she'll end up
going on maternity

before she's up for partnership.

And they figure, you know,

once women have children,
they tend to prioritize

the little imps.

I want children, though,
so this is a good firm for me.

Ally.

Pardon me. Your verdict is in.

Wha--Now?

John's outside waiting in a cab.

Oh. Uh, excuse me.

[Nelle] Sure.

♪ No, I can't bear
to live my life alone ♪

The verdict is in.

-So I gather.
-♪ To call my own ♪♪

[Woman Coughs]

What does this mean,
their coming back quickly?

They have weekend plans.

Members of the jury,
you've reached a verdict?

-We have, Your Honor.
-What say you?

On the matter of 32664,
sex with a minor,

we find the defendant Laura Jewell...

not guilty by reason
of temporary insanity.

-Thank you.
-Never underestimate a jury.

Really.

Members of the jury, I want
to thank you for your service.

The defendant is free to go.

-We're adjourned.
-[Gavel Raps]

[Elevator Bell Dings]

I gotta hand it to the Biscuit.

On basic nullification,
he's pretty good.

Hmm. You going home?

No. I have paperwork to do first.

-I'll see you there.
-Okay.

-[Thuds]
-[Gasps]

Jason.

[Clears Throat] Hi.

Hi.

-Congratulations.
-Thanks.

Phew. I'm so relieved.
You know, I-I-I never wanted--

I-I know.

Well, everything turned out.

[Exhales]

-Look--
-[High-pitched Squeak]

[Clears Throat]

[Giggles] Um, tickle--

in my throat.

I know I'm gonna sound like, um--

This might seem ridiculous,
but I-I-I feel you and I

have some kind of strange...

connection.

You do?

You--You probably think that
I, uh--Older women and I--

-[Elevator Bell Dings]
-I don't. I just--

[Sighs] I'm sorry.

I'd walk out of this
elevator right now,

but I'm feeling a little unsteady,

and I might fall down.

Why?

Because the reason I came
in here was to ask you out.

You know, as I said,
I feel this kind of--

I'm sorry. It's--I don't
mean to be inappropriate.

If-If your answer is no--

It's yes.

It is?

Uh, evidently.

Great.

-Maybe tomorrow night.
-Sure.

[Elevator Bell Dings]

Aren't you getting out?

Uh, uh, I-I'm a little
unsure of my feet as well.

Oh.

Could I have your attention,
please? Everybody.

Over here. Attention.
Put your work down.

-What's going on?
-You don't want to know.

-Why is she up there?
-I really have splendid news.

I would like to introduce
to you all Nelle Porter.

As of today, she'll be joining
us as a new attorney.

He hired her?

She is going to be
an outstanding addition,

and I trust you'll
all help make her feel

as welcome as I know she is.

Nelle Porter.

Just so we're clear,

-we hate her, right?
-Mmm.

Thank you. Thank you.
It's a tough decision

to change jobs, but I'm excited.

I'm grateful to Richard and to Paul

-for the offer.
-[Mouths Words]

And also Ally.

My brief chat with her--

Well, I knew coming here--
it would be fun.

[Together] What did you say?

[Stammers]

I know why Richard
hired her, but-but you--

What-What--W-Was it because
you're drawn to her?

-In part.
-And what?

You expect to get a date out of this?

Oh, Ally, I have no such
illusions. Trust me.

-A woman like her--
-Then why?

She makes my heart go...

boom.

Well, w-won't that torture you if--

John. John,
the last thing you want...

is to be in love with
someone you can't have.

That is something I know.

What Laura Jewell said about men--

their insides going dead
as they grow older.

True.

-It is?
-If we're not careful.

We can start to prioritize
career, money, hair plugs.

Now, any person who can make
you flex your romantic muscle,

remind you of what it's like
to feel, that's good company.

Even if your muscle never gets to...

compete?

Well, Nelle may be

the kind of girl
I can only dream about,

but there's something to be
said for the dream itself.

[Exhales]

And she's a fine attorney.

[Jason] It was the journal
that caused all the problems.

-My parents found it.
-Oh, too graphic?

No. No. It wasn't graphic.
I just wrote down feelings.

It was mainly because I wanted
to read it 20 years later and--

-I don't know.
-Wonder if you'd be capable

of having those feelings again?

You know, it's still early.

Want to go for a walk?

Well, um, you know, the game is

about to get out, and-and traffic--

-What--What game?
-The Red Sox.

The Red Sox are away, Ally.

No. No. The Re--I saw the lights.

No, the Red Sox are in Baltimore.

They're just working on the lights.

My uncle's the groundskeeper.
That's how I know.

The groundskeeper of Fenway Park?

Yeah. Why?

Have you been in Fenway Park?

I mean, actually on the field?

-Yes.
-[Exhales]

-Is this important?
-Are you kidding?

My father and I used to listen
to every game

on the radio together every summer.

I-I-I would close my eyes,
and I would pretend

that I was right out there
in the field.

Want to go?

-When?
-Now.

Uh, now?

N-Now? Now? Now? Now?

-To Fenway Park?
-It's two blocks away.

-[Chuckles]
-Oh. I'm sorry.

I keep forgetting this bathroom
is open to the public.

-Should I leave?
-[Door Opens]

-What's this?
-Initiation. Kidding.

Ah.

I think I'll let you finish.

[Chuckles]

[Nelle Clears Throat]

Listen. I know
my nickname is Subzero,

and people find me,

well, uh, cold.

Nelle.

This can be a--a tough group,
but we'll warm up.

Thanks.

[Announcer] We will
have a seventh game

in this 1975 World Series.

Carlton Fisk becomes the first
player in the series...

to hit one over the wall
into the net.

Red Sox win it 7-6.

I--[Chuckles] I will never
forget that night.

Of course, they went on to lose

the seventh game, but--but still--

Do you remember when Carlton
Fisk hit that home run?

-I wasn't born yet.
-Oh. Right.

This is where I live.

Do you want to come in, or--

Um, n-no, thanks.

I had a really great time.

A really great time.

I'd like to see you again.

Um, Jason, I think I'm gonna
have to say no to that.

E-Even though parts of me want to--

-Can you understand?
-Yeah.

I already knew.

You did?

Yeah. You were kind of
having too much fun.

Like--Like it was
some kind of reunion with...

fun you had before.

I might be too young for you.

Got you to first base anyway.

Yeah. Now, that you did.
